Mr. Eames saying that Mrs. X. was an intelligent but not an original woman, I said: She is not a silkworm, but a silk-wearer! Nine women out of ten would rather be the latter than the former. Mr. Eames saying that he often talked because he could not make the effort to be silent, I said: Yes, sir; we know that the vis inertia often shows itself in motion. I record these sayings, she adds, because they interested me, opening to myself little shades of thought not perceived before. May 27. Boston. My birthday. Forty-seven years old. J. F. C. preached on The seed is the word, and gave a significant statement of the seminal power of Christianity. They sang also a psalm tune which I like, so that the day (a rainy one) seems to me auspicious. I have little to show for the past year's work, having produced no work of any length and read but little in public. The doctrine of the seed does, however, encourage us to continue our small efforts. The most effectual quickening of s

d skill, the appointed givers of life speeding death and reaping the bitter fruit themselves! With this terrible picture before us, let no civilized nation from henceforth and forever admit or recognize the instrumentality of war as worthy of Christian society. Let the fact of human brotherhood be taught to the babe in his cradle, let it be taught to the despot on his throne. Let it be the basis and foundation of education and legislation, the bond of high and low, of rich and poor.... May 27. I am fifty-two years old this day and must regard this year as in some sense the best of my life. The great joy of the Peace Idea has unfolded itself to me.... I have got at better methods of working in the practical matters at which I do work, and believe more than ever in patience, labor, and sticking to one's own idea of work. Study, book-work, and solitary thinking and writing show us only one side of what we study. Practical life and intercourse with others supply the other side.

People get to believing that talk turns the world: it is much, but it is nothing without work.... May 27. Fifty-four years old to-day. Thank God for what I have had and hope to have.... In the afternoon my dear children had a beautiful birthday party for me, including most of my old friends and some of the newer ones. Agassiz came, and his wife; ring the prayer and sermon of Henry Powers of New York. The decided spiritual tone of the prayer made me feel that I must try to take, every day, this energetic attitude of moral will and purpose, even if I fail in much that I wish to do. On May 27 she writes:-- My birthday. Fifty-five years old. Still face to face with the mercies of God in health and sanity, enjoying all true pleasures more than ever and weaned from some false ones.

She met the Schliemanns often, and heard Mrs. Schliemann speak before the Royal Geographical Society, where she made a plea for the modern pronunciation of Greek. In order to help her husband in his work, Mrs. Schliemann told her, she had committed to memory long passages from Homer which proved of great use to him in his researches at Mycenae and Tiryns.

Dear Brother Sam's death has brought me well in sight of the farther shore. May I be ready when it is my turn to cross. To her sister Louisa Dearest Sister, I was already in debt to you for one good letter when this later one arrived, giving me the full, desired particulars of our dear one's last days on earth.

s regards Women. The hall [of Washington] was frightfully cold. May 17. Going to the Art Palace this afternoon I found an audience waiting in one of the small halls with no speaker. Madame C. had engaged to speak on musical education. I was requested to fill the breach, which I did, telling of the Boston Conservatory of Music, early music in Boston, and down to our time. Had an ovation afterwards of friendly handshaking. May 19. Meeting of National Alliance of Unitarian Women. May 27. My seventy-fourth birthday.

ase on my feet, and had to execute some curious gymnastics to get up at all. May 25. My knee was very painful in the night, and almost intolerable in the morning, so sent for Wesselhloeft, who examined it and found the trouble to proceed from an irritation of a muscle, probably rheumatic in character.

've had a lot of birthdays and I'm growing very old, that's why they make so much of me, if once the truth were told. And I love the shade in summer, and in winter love the sun, and I'm just learning how to live, my wisdom's just begun. Don't trouble more to celebrate this natal day of mine, but keep the grasp of fellowship which warms us more than wine. Let us thank the lavish hand that gives world beauty to our eyes, and bless the days that saw us young, and years that make us wise. May 27. my eighty-sixth birthday. I slept rather late, yesterday having been eminently a bootandsaddle day.... the Greeks, mostly working-people, sent me a superb leash of roses with a satin ribbon bearing a Greek inscription.
