d people) who begin all reforms. Mrs. Child you know has long been proscribed as an entirely unsafe person and as for Mr. Emerson and Mr. Alcott, it does n't do for a sober person even to think of them. Miss Channing was a disciple of James Freeman Clarke, and Higginson was thus led to attend his church. There under Dr. Clarke's influence he began to think of studying for the ministry. But he deprecated haste and wrote to his betrothed, I have declared my independence of this invariable lDr. Clarke's influence he began to think of studying for the ministry. But he deprecated haste and wrote to his betrothed, I have declared my independence of this invariable law of our young men's sacrificing everything else to going ahead quick. Over this new project, Wentworth pondered long, now rejecting the plan as impossible, and again reconsidering. How long halt ye, he despairingly asked himself, between two opinions. O, I am sorely puzzled and know not what to do. I cannot in action any more than in thought bear confinement—How then can I settle down into the quiet though noble duties of a minister. . . . I crave action . . . unbounded action. I love m

Thus was the path marked out in which the new minister was not reluctant to walk and which finally made his position too hot to hold him. His marriage to Miss Channing took place September 30, 1847, he having previously convinced the young woman that two healthy persons could keep house perfectly well

must next year confine my sober wishes to Dublin. Ever faithfully, in any one dialect, Your Warden. A London letter written in August reports:— The Colonel and Margaret had a delightful afternoon with Swinburne. The house where he and Watts-Dunton live is full of Rossetti's pictures. Swinburne devoted himself to Margaret and showed her many treasures. The rest of our time was spent in the south of England. From Wells, Colonel Higginson went to Glastonbury partly to see Mrs. Clarke, John Bright's daughter, whom I saw in America, a strong reformer and Anti-Imperialist. At Ottery St. Mary, he enjoyed taking tea at Lord Coleridge's house which was full of interesting portraits and other memorials of the Coleridges. In Lord Coleridge, who was a radical, the American reformer found a congenial spirit. For this was at the time of the South African war and although he ordinarily felt under bonds to keep silence, all of Colonel Higginson's sympathies were with the Boer
