Fitch (1865-1909) was as independent of the manager as Thomas, but he nearly always constructed his plays with a star in mind. He helped to increase the popularity of Julia Marlowe with Barbara Frietchie (24 October, 1899), Nat Goodwin with Nathan Hale (2 January, 1899), Mansfield with Beau Brummell (17 May, 1890), Maxine Elliott with Her great Match (4 September, 1905), and Clara Bloodgood with The truth (7 January, 1907) and The girl with the Green eyes (25 December, 1902). That is the suspapers, periodicals, broadsides, and from the memory of surviving soldiers. Most of these pieces are semi-literary in character, to be sung to familiar tunes imported from England. That oftenest quoted as having the best poetical quality is Nathan Hale. See Book I, Chap. IX. Many express the discontent of the colonists, and many are burlesques. Sometimes they were based on older pieces, as Major Andreas The cow Chace, which is built on The Chevy Chase. Of better quality is A song for t

ves entirely with reading and writing Latin, and repeating passages we had committed to memory, ending the evening with a little supper, which was often a hasty-pudding frolic. When I say that Alexander and Edward Everett, Edward T. Channing, Nathan Hale, William Powell Mason, and Jacob Bigelow constituted this symposium, it is plain that it must have been pleasant and brilliant. The first nucleus of it, for two years, was Hale, Bigelow, Channing, and myself. We kept our records in Latin poeHale, Bigelow, Channing, and myself. We kept our records in Latin poetry and prose, but we so abused one another that I afterwards destroyed them. At this period I very much frequented the families of Mr. Stephen Higginson, Mr. S. G. Perkins, Mr. Richard Sullivan, Mr. William Sullivan, Dr. John C. Warren, Senior, and Mr. William Prescott. But my first real sight and knowledge of the world was in the winter of 1814-15, when I made a journey to Virginia,—then a serious undertaking,—and for three months was thrown much on my own resources, in the Atlantic citi

characters. On the eighth day of January, 1864, he was hung just in front of the main entrance to St. John's College, his alma mater, after again refusing to give General Steele any information as to his accomplices. General Steele approached him while the rope was around his neck, and said, David, I know that one of my own personal staff must have given you a part of that information, for nobody else knew it. Give me his name and I will give you your life. With perfect calmness, but in tones of the deepest resolution, he answered, General Steele, I don't blame you for what I am about to suffer. I thank you for your great kindness to me while under arrest, but I will not betray a friend, even to save my own life; and my only regret is, I have but one life to give to my country; thus repeating the last words of Nathan Hale of Revolutionary fame. He was hung. His body was buried in Mt. Holly cemetery, and the ladies of Little Rock have erected a marble monument to his memory.

Sam Davis—a Southern Hero. [from the Pulaski, Tenn., citizen, January 6, 1898.] A Tribute to this Martyr by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, with a simple account of the sacrifice. A touching parallel to the fate of Nathan Hale. Nothing sweeter, it may be felt, might the poet have done, than in her lines given. It may be trusted, that, permanently re-united, our most promising refuge and Nation, will not fail in recognition, in time, of every instance of honorable devotion. At a recent meeting of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, at Baltimore, a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox was read. The poem is eulogistic of a young Tennessee Confederate soldier who preferred death to dishonor. Mrs. Wilcox wrote the poem for the Confederate Veteran, and in a note to the editor, she said: I have never worked harder to produce what I desired. I began fully twenty poems before I wrote this one. Here it is: Sam Davis. When the Lord calls up earth's heroes To stand befor
