esided with much energy and grace over the anti-slavery bazaars which were held annually in Boston through a long space of years. For this labor of love she was somewhat decried, and the sobriquet of Captain Chapman was given her in derision. She was handsome and rather commanding in person, endowed also with an excellent taste in dress. I cannot remember that she ever spoke in public, but her presence often adorned the platform at anti-slavery meetings. She was the editor of the Liberty Bell, and was a valued friend and ally of Wendell Phillips. Of Mr. Phillips I must say that I at first regarded him through the same veil of prejudice which had caused me so greatly to misconceive the character of Mr. Garrison. I was a little softened by hearing that at one of the bazaars he had purchased a copy of my first volume of poems, with the remark, She does n't like me, but I like her poetry. This naturally led me to suppose that he must have some redeeming traits of character. I ha

y-five years of age. Of her antecedents I have learned little. In her later years she was quite alone in the world; her burial was at Goffstown, N. H. The photograph which is reproduced with this article was contributed by Mrs. Woodbury, of Methuen. August 17, 1846, Adaline L. Sanborn was elected teacher of the Milk Row Primary. Her first examination took place September 28 following, when she had on her list 101 scholars. She had to undergo no slight ordeal that day, when she faced Messrs. Bell, Allen, Forster, Magoun, and Hill, of the School Board, who no doubt had come to see how the new teacher was doing. Another primary school was started that year in the Leland district near by. This school was held in a room hired for the purpose, and Miss Frances B. Adams was the teacher. At her examination October 2 she had an enrollment of sixty-eight pupils. Meanwhile on the lot of land recently purchased, at the corner of Milk and Kent Streets, a schoolhouse was built, the duplicat

ained Andromeda, Waiting on the rock, like her, Swift doom or deliverer! Church that, after sea-moss grew Over walls no longer new, Counted generations five, Four entombed and one alive; Heard the martial thousand tread Battleward from Marblehead; Saw within the rock-walled bay Treville's lilied pennons play, And the fisher's dory met By the barge of Lafayette, Telling good news in advance Of the coming fleet of France! Church to reverend memories dear, Quaint in desk and chandelier; Bell, whose century-rusted tongue Burials tolled and bridals rung; Loft, whose tiny organ kept Keys that Snetzler's hand had swept; Altar, o'er whose tablet old Sinai's law its thunders rolled! Suddenly the sharp cry came: ‘Look! St. Michael's is aflame!’ Round the low tower wall the fire Snake-like wound its coil of ire. Sacred in its gray respect From the jealousies of sect, ‘Save it,’ seemed the thought of all, ‘Save it, though our roof-trees fall!’ Up the tower the young men spru

f human frailty and folly—in the most righteous reforms, which is a fair subject for the indignant sarcasm of a professed hater of shows and falsities. Whatever is hollow and hypocritical in politics, morals, or religion, comes very properly within the scope of his mockery, and we bid him Godspeed in plying his satirical lash upon it. Impostures and frauds of all kinds deserve nothing better than detection and exposure. Let him blow them up to his heart's content, as Daniel did the image of Bell and the Dragon. But our author, in this matter of negro slavery, has undertaken to apply his explosive pitch and rosin, not to the affectation of humanity, but to humanity itself. He mocks at pity, scoffs at all who seek to lessen the amount of pain and suffering, sneers at and denies the most sacred rights, and mercilessly consigns an entire class of the children of his Heavenly Father to the doom of compulsory servitude. He vituperates the poor black man with a coarse brutality which w

the Whig party. It had thought to be able to remove the evil by adopting a programme full of protestations in favor of the Constitution, in which slavery was not even mentioned; it held a convention in Baltimore on the 9th of May, and selected Mr. Bell as its candidate. A few days after, May 16th, the Republican convention which assembled at Chicago adopted for its platform the maintenance of the Union, a denial of the right of secession, a guarantee of the principle of free labor as the basiedged to vote for Mr. Lincoln received 1,866,452 votes; those representing the two fractions of the Democratic party, personified by Douglas and Breckenridge, received, respectively, 1,375,144 and 847,933 votes; and the Whig party, personified by Bell, 590,631 votes. The Republican candidate had only a relative majority, but it was considerable; and, thanks to the machinery of the double vote, this majority was made absolute in the electoral college. He was elected by one hundred and eighty v

lumn was under the orders of Captain Bailey, second in command, whose flag was hoisted on the gun-boat Cayuga. He was followed by the two sloops-of-war Pensacola and Mississippi, and the five gun-boats Oneida, Varuna, Katahdin, Kineo and Wissahickon. The left column consisted of the three sloops-of-war Hartford, Brooklyn and Richmond, under the immediate command of Farragut, and the six gun-boats Scioto, Iroquois, Kennebeck, Pinola, Itasca and Winona, which he placed under the command of Captain Bell. The two columns were to proceed in such a manner as to afford each other mutual support; the vessels composing the right column had shifted all their heavy guns to starboard to fire upon Fort Philip; those of the left column to larboard to engage Fort Jackson. The sloops were to slacken their speed during this combat to draw the fire of the adversary, while the vessels of weaker model, proceeding more rapidly through the dangerous space, were to attack the enemy's flotilla. It was a
