ng but a good scholar—tolerable looking, awkward. There were other members of the class of 1841 who attained distinction in later life. Among them were the Boston physicians, Dr. Edward Clarke and Dr. Francis Minot. Two of the men took high rank as officers in the Union army; and the list of those who made their mark includes Henry F. Durant, the founder of Wellesley College. An intimate friend who entered college two years after Wentworth was Levi Thaxter, later the ardent student of Browning and FitzGerald. He did much to guide wisely young Higginson's literary tendencies. The lifelong friendship between Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Edward Everett Hale also began while they were undergraduates. In some of the former's unpublished notes is this comparison:— There was a curious parallel in some respects between the life of Edward Everett Hale and my own. He is nearly two years older than myself, graduated at Harvard College two years before me (1839); each of us havi

Again:— I have been writing more in these two months (or six weeks) than in the previous five years—I had begun to doubt whether I should ever feel the im- pulse to write prose—now I have been manufacturing sermons and essays (to be read before the class) with the greatest readiness—all being crammed with as much thought as I can put into them. . . .

under great disadvantages) and that the characters are like real men and women to me, though not one of them was, strictly speaking, imitated from life, as a whole. Yet two of the characters in Malbone were suggested by real persons. Many of Aunt Jane's witty sayings had originated with Mrs. Higginson, and Philip Malbone was drawn from memories of Hurlbut, the author's early friend. On September 25, he had ended the story and sent it to Fields, and quoted in his diary a passage from Browning's Paracelsus:— Are there not . . . Two points in the adventure of a diver, One—when, a beggar, he prepares to plunge, One—when, a prince, he rises with his pearl? Festus, I plunge! In November he had finished working over the manuscript and says:— There is, with all my fussy revising and altering, always a point where a work seems to take itself into its own hands . . . and I can no more control it than an apple-tree its fallen apples. The advent of Malbone was announced to

o children with large gray eyes; I remember distinctly my utter astonishment and dismay at finding myself so emphatically in for it without any personal consciousness or accountability; what steps I took on the matter I don't know, but I have certainly got rid of the incumbrances this morning much to my relief. And when he was eighty-five he wrote: I find that my dreams grow more interesting all the time because they have more material in them from the hoarded memories of the past, as Browning says. In the summer of 1886, he wrote the story, The Monarch of Dreams. It was his first effort in the story-telling line for many years, and he exclaimed:— It is a great and almost unexpected delight to me to find that I can really write an imaginative story. This tale did not prove acceptable to magazine editors and was finally published as a booklet at the author's own expense. The Monarch of Dreams was, however, translated into French and was always a favorite of the author's. Hi

Afterwards went to meet Browning at the Athenaeum Club—one of the desires of my former visit, unfullly described in Cheerful Yesterdays, Colonel Higginson said that Browning was very cordial, yet I felt it more the general temperamentg so late ; and then looking at her said, I must present you to Miss Browning.

Then came in a younger man, short, round-faced and round-headed, looking like a capable business man and he was the present Mr. Browning, the son of two poets. This was he whom I used to hear of in youth as Penini (from Apennines, a nickname given by his mother). . . . We of course talked poetry and Browning more or less, and we spoke of my favorite complaint of his alterations in his published works Both she and the son spoke strongly of the practical character of Browning and said he was always ready to help every one, while Tennyson li
