1. This house is called Elmwood. How do you suppose it came to have that name? Two beautiful elm trees grew in front of the porch.

2. All about the house are many trees where the birds love to sing. One Washingtons birthday, a baby boy was born in this house. It was the 22d of February, 1819.

3. This boy was the youngest of five children. There were two brothers and two sisters to welcome him as their playfellow.

4. He was named James Russell Lowell. His fathers name was Charles Lowell, and he was a minister. His home was in Cambridge, near the Charles River, but he preached in Boston.

5. There were large, beautiful groves about Elmwood, when James was a little boy. He loved to play among the trees with his brothers and sisters.

6. These children had many pets: among them were a colt, a dog, and kittens. The children built a little hut in the woods. What happy times they had!
