lady repealer (whether apple-woman or seller of ginger beer, I know not). Oh, Ma'am, he is the best cratur, the most charitable, the most virtuous, the most religious man — sure, he goes to the communion every Sunday, and never says no to no one. The visit to Scotland was all too hasty, the notes are mere brief jottings; at the end she remembered but one thing, the grave of Scott. In return for all the delight he had given me, I had nothing to give him but my silent tears. The end of July found the party once more in England. The following letter tells of the unlucky visit to Wordsworth which our mother (after forty-six years) describes from memory in her Reminiscences in slightly different terms. To her sister Louisa July 29. ... I am very glad to be out of Ireland and Scotland, where we had incessant rains — even the beautiful Loch Katrine would not show herself to us in sunshine. We crossed in an open boat, and had a pony ride of five miles, all in as abominable a d

that their husbands approved of their fine clothes. I begged him to unearth these sermons and give them to us at the club. We spoke of marriage, and I unfolded rapidly my military and moral theory of human relations. Thought of a text for a sermon on this subject: Arise, take up thy bed and walk. This because the ills of marriage which are deemed incurable are not. We must meet them with the energetic will which converts evil into good, and without which all good degenerates into evil. July finds her at Oak Glen. She is full of texts and sermons, but makes time to write to Fanny Perkins, Mrs. Charles C. Perkins. proposing Picnics with a Purpose, sketching, seaside lectures, astronomical evenings. This thought may have been the germ from which grew the Town and Country Club, of which more hereafter. The writing of sermons seems to have crowded serious poetry out of sight in these days, but the Comic Muse was always at hand with tambourine and flageolet, ready to strike up

ting letters for the Chicago Tribune and the Woman's Journal. This year of 1877 saw the height of the Aesthetic movement. Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey Lily, was the beauty and toast of the season. Gilbert and Sullivan's, Patience was the dramatic hit of the year, and Greenery yallery, Grosvenor gallery the most popular catch of the day. She found it hard to tear herself away from England; the visit (which she likened to one at the house of an adored grandmother) was over all too soon. But July was almost gone; and the two travellers finally left the enchanted island for Holland, recalling Emerson's advice to one going abroad for the first time: A year for England, and a year for the rest of the world! The much neglected Journal now takes up the story. The great Franz Hals pictures delighted her beyond measure. She always bought the best reproductions she could afford, and valued highly an etching that she owned from his Bohemienne. She never waited for any authority to admi

or glory : a favorite exclamation of hers, learned in childhood from a Welsh servant. Maud thought it frumpy, but others liked it very much. Have been to church to-day, heard J. F. C. 'Most off crutches now and hobble about the house with a cane. Use crutches to go up and down stairs and to walk in the street. ...

ges were much better, though they only stamp their bare feet and clap their hands in rhythm without music. One had a curious smooth lyre, which seemed to give no sound. Their teeth were beautifully white and regular. One of them came up to me and said, Mamma, as if to indicate my age. Then into a bark hut, to see the Soudanese baby dance — a dear little child that danced very funnily to a tumtur. Early June found her back in Boston and hard at work. June 8. Finished my screed for the July Forum. Subject, A Proper Observance of the Fourth of July. I have prayed over this piece of work as over all the others which have been strung, one after another, in this busiest of years for me. I have also despaired of it, and am not yet sure of its acceptance. Next day she felt that she must see the last of dear Edwin Booth. The Journal describes his funeral at length; the sun perfectly golden behind the trees. She brought away a bit of evergreen from the grave, and at church, two

Dear E. D. C. seemed gratified at seeing me and asked me to say a few words.... She thanked me very earnestly for what I had said, and I at last understood why I had not been allowed to go to Quincy. It was more important that I should comfort for a moment the bruised heart of my dear friend than that I should be a guest at the Quincy Commencement. June 29. Heard to my sorrow of the death of delightful Sarah Whitman. Wrote a little screed for Woman's Journal which I sent... . In early July, she went to Concord for a memorial meeting in honor of Nathaniel Hawthorne. July 11. .... Alice Blackwell, some days ago, wrote beseeching me to write to President Roosevelt, begging him to do something for the Armenians. I said to myself, No, I won't; I am too tired and have done enough. Yesterday's sermon gave me a spur, and this morning I have writ the President a long letter, to the effect desired. God grant that it may have some result! July 17. I despaired of being able to wri

painful one to read, so entirely does it do away with the old-time divinity of the dear Christ. But it leaves Him the divinity of character — no theory or discovery can take that away. Late September brought an occasion to which she had looked forward with mingled pleasure and dread; the celebration of the Hudson-Fulton Centennial in New York. She had been asked for a poem, and had taken great pains with it, writing and re-writing it, hammering and polishing. She thought it finished in July, yet two days before the celebration she was still re-touching it. I have been much dissatisfied with my Fulton poem. Lying down to rest this afternoon, instead of sleep, of which I felt no need, I began to try for some new lines which should waken it up a little, and think that I succeeded. I had brought no manuscript paper, so had to scrawl my amendments on Sanborn's old long envelope. Later in the day two more lines came to her, and again two the day after. Finally, on the morning
