He was very witty, but his wit wasnever used to hurt anything but shams, which he hated. Dr. Holmes lived to be a very old man, but even in old.age, after the most of the friends of his earlier days weregone, he was still the same bright, genial, lovable man thathe was in his youth. He wrote poems, essays, and novels, and books on medicine. His best known book.is TheAutocrat of the Breakfast Table. Some of his friends, of whom he had many, were Long-fellow, Hawthorne, Whittier, Emerson, and Lowell. OLITEE WElfDBLL HOI.MES. THE OLD MAN DREA
