He learned to love nature when be drove cows at his birthplace farm, Roxbury, among the Catskills, in New York state, but anything like a literary composition-was a bugbear to him as a youth. Mr. Burroughs was born In 1837. In 1863 be went to Washington with something of an Inclination to enlist in the Union army, but he decided to seek a government .office. It Is relat-. ed that with only a few of his poems! as' credentials he walked Into the treasury department and asked for a job.
