pread and flourished like the American rhododendron. The mother country took fir British home consumption forty-eight thousand copies, and much good did they do our little cousins, I doubt not. In 1851 Ruth Hall (I had almost said Ruth-less Hall) was published. In 1857 Rose Clarke, a kindlier book. These are, I believe, the only novels of Fanny Fern. They were eagerly read, much commented upon, and had, like the Leaves, a large sale. They were translated into French and German. In 1856 Fanny Fern was married to Mr. James Parton, of New York; a man of brilliant, but eminently practical, ability as a writer. It was a marriage that seemed to the world to promise, if not happiness of the most romantic type, much hearty good fellowship, with mutual aid and comfort. Both were authors whose provinces bordered on Bohemia. They had apparently many tastes and characteristics in common; they were both acute, independent thinkers, rather than students or philosophers; they were rath

er sister. That it was a decided success is sufficiently indicated by the fact that a more complete edition, including all. the contents of Redfield's, with much more, was issued by Ticknor & Fields in 1855. The maiden of Tiascala, a narrative poem of seventy-two pages, was first given to the public in this Boston edition. Her first novel-Hagar; a story of to-day --was written for and appeared in The Cincinnati Commercial, appearing in a book form in 1852. Married, not mated, followed in 1856, and The Bishop's son, her last, was issued by Carleton, in 1867. Each of these have had a good reception, alike from critics and readers; though their pecuniary success has, perhaps, been less decided than that of her poems and shorter sketches. Of her Pictures of country life, brought out by Derby & Jackson in 1859, The literary Gazette (London), which is not accustomed to flatter American authors, said:-- Every tale in this book might be selected as evidence of some new beauty or un

p, holy spirit, blessed soul; While the stars burn the winds increase, And the great ages onward roll. That of Mrs. Browning:-- So look up, friends I you who indeed Have possessed in your house a sweet piece Of the Heaven which men strive for, must need Be more earnest than others are, speed Where they loiter, persist where they cease. It is easy to decide which of the two stanzas is more beautiful; and it is not difficult to determine which is in its essential contents the nobler. In 1856 Aurora Leigh was published. This poem, which Mrs. Browning calls the most mature of my works, and that into which my highest convictions upon life and art have entered, was finished in England, under the roof of the writer's cousin and friend, John Kenyon,--to whom it is dedicated. Mr. Kenyon was a genial and cultivated gentleman, the author of several graceful poems. He died in 1858, leaving his cousin a considerable addition to her fortune. Aurora Leigh is a Social epic,--a sort of n

experiences, in the form of letters written to friends at home, under the title of Sunny memories of foreign lands, to which her husband contributed an introduction, in which some account is given of the public meetings which were held in her honor during the tour through England and Scotland. About this time a new and enlarged edition of the Mayflower was also published. Established in her home once more, and restored in health, Mrs. Stowe's literary labors were resumed; and in the year 1856, shortly after another foreign tour, her second antislavery novel was published, under the title of Dred; a tale of the Dismal Swamp. In the preface, the author declares her great purpose to be the same as that of her previous story. Once more she endeavors to do something towards revealing to the people the true character of the system of slavery. The book inevitably comes into comparison with its predecessor; and whatever may be truly said in its praise, it cannot be questioned that, bot

r them from time to time. Kate used to be especially fine as Richard the Third, which she was first cast in at the suggestion of Moses Kimball, in the old days of the Boston Museum, which institution he originated. Her best part, though, was Henriette de Vigny, in The young couple. In 1850 the Bateman Children were taken to England, where, in all the great cities of the British Isles, they found even more favor than they had found at home. In August, 1852, they returned to America, and in 1856 they retired from the stage. Ellen was subsequently married and is now Mrs. Claude Greppo. Kate remained in retirement and studied acting. At length, in 1860, she reappeared on the stage, in the character of Evangeline, in a drama, by her mother, based on Longfellow's poem. The performance, though very pretty and pleasing, did not, however, make a deep impression upon the public mind. It was seen in many American cities, during the season of 1860-61, but was nowhere greeted with much ent

under the instruction of Dr. Enoch C. Rolfe and Dr. William M. Cornell. An association styled the American female Medical education Society was organized the same year, and afterward merged in the New England Female Medical College, chartered in 1856, which has been liberally sustained by legislative grants, as well as individual donations. It owns a valuable property, and has many facilities for its work. It has graduated seventy-two women, many of whom are occupying positions of great inflether. The New York Infirmary for women and children, was the product of their united thought and effort. It was incorporated in the winter of 1853, and opened in the spring of 1854 as a dispensary, regulated and attended by Dr. Elizabeth. In 1856, on the return of Dr. Emily from Europe, they associated with them temporarily, Dr. M. E. Zakrzewska, a Polish lady, enlarged their plans, took a house, and opened it as a hospital, as well as a dispensary. The object was threefold,--a charity fo

and Signor Urso took his daughter to Savannah, and subsequently gave concerts in different cities of Georgia and some other Southern States. They then returned to New York, where, in May, they heard of the sudden death of Madame Sontag by cholera. The news of this loss prostrated the sensitive child with grief. She refused to appear at concerts, and seemed to lose all animation and vivacity. A change of scene was at last imperatively necessary, and she went with her father to Canada in 1856. This trip was very successful, though not entirely professional. She travelled through the country, giving some concerts, and winning admiration from crowded houses. One incident of her trip was very enjoyable,--her reception on board of a French corvette. The officers desired to do honor to their gifted little compatriot, and invited her to visit them. She was then a charming young lady of fourteen She appeared before her admiring friends in a costume combining the three national
