nd study, and to do my utmost to be useful in this connection and path of life .... Comforting myself with Hedge's book. Determined to pass no more godless days.... She began to read Grote's Plato, and the Journal contains much comment on the Platonic philosophy. Another interest which came to her this autumn was that of singing with the Handel and Haydn Society. She and Florence joined the altos, while Harry, then in college (Harvard, 1869), sang bass. We find her also, in early December, rehearsing with a small chorus the Christmas music for the Church of the Disciples, and writing and rehearsing a charade for the Club. December 12. Saw my new book at Tilton's. It looks very well, but I am not sanguine about its fate. Later Lyrics made less impression than either of the earlier volumes. It has been long out of print; our mother does not mention it in her Reminiscences ; even in the Journal, the book once published, there are few allusions to it, and those in a sad n

Her connection with it was to continue through life, and its monthly meetings and annual dinners were among her pet pleasures. She was always ready to drop into rhyme in its serv

r piece real good! Late October finds her preparing for the move to Boston. I have had what I may call a spasm of gratitude to God for His great goodness to me, sitting in my pleasant little parlor, with the lovely golden trees in near view, and the devotion of my children and great kindness of my friends well in mind. Oh! help me, divine Father, to merit even a very little of Thy kindness! In this autumn she was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and in December she wrote for its first meeting a poem called The Capitol. She greatly desired to read this poem before the association, and Maud, albeit with many misgivings, agreed to take her on to Washington. This was not to be. On learning of her intention, three officers of the association, William Dean Howells, Robert Underwood Johnson, and Thomas Nelson Page, sent her a round-robin telegram, begging her not to run the risk of the long winter journey. The kindly suggestion was not altogether well
