mportant a part in the great programme of Providence; but their recognition of human brotherhood is rarely of a kind to be trusted in emergencies. In most cases, it is not skin deep. Those who were Abolitionists in the teeth of popular opposition are the only ones who really made the case of the colored people their own; therefore they are the ones least likely to be hoodwinked by sophistry and false pretences now. To us the present crisis of the country seems more dangreous than that of 1861. The insidiousness of oppressors is always more to be dreaded than their open violence. There can be no reasonable doubt that a murderous feeling toward the colored people prevails extensively at the South; and we are far from feeling very sure that a large party could not be rallied at the North in favor of restoring slavery. We have ho idea that it ever can be restored; but if we would avert the horrors of another war, more dreadful than the last, we must rouse up and keep awake a public

purified, stainless, having had the angel of a great cause walking with you in the furnace. But she did not live to see her prophecy verified. The disease against which she had so long struggled, broke out with new violence in the spring of 1861. So rapid was its progress that her friends did not realize her danger until death was near. She wasted away in rapid consumption, and died on the morning of the 29th of June. Her last words, or rather her first words when the heavenly glory buo her memory:-- Here wrote and died E. B. Browning, who in the heart of a woman united the science of a sage and the spirit of a poet, and made with her verse a golden ring binding Italy and England. Grateful Florence placed this memorial, 1861. To those who loved Mrs. Browning, says a friend in a letter published in the Atlantic monthly for September, 1861, (and to know her was to love her), she was singularly attractive. Hers was not the beauty of feature; it was the loftier

tersburg. So far in Italian. Now, however, she was persuaded to achieve renown in French. Her first venture in this language was made at the Odeon, in Paris, in 1861, in the character of Beatrix, in a drama expressly written for her by Legouve. It proved a hit. The piece was played eighty nights in that year, and afterwards, iearliest personations that attracted critical attention and inspired hope for her future, was her Gilda, in Rigoletto, which she played at the Academy of Music, in 1861. Her first really great success, though, was made as Margherita, in Gounod's Faust, which was first produced in New York, in the season of 1864-65. Personal adapnce, 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 enthusiasm. In fact, since the chief quality of the character of Evangeline is silent fortitude, its delineation affords but lit

by the Republican committee of Pennsylvania, to this same town, to speak to the same people, in the same hall. In again summing up the incidents of the war, when she came to Ball's Bluff, she said, I say now, as I said three years ago, history will record that this battle was lost, not through ignorance or incompetence, but through the treason of the commanding general, George B. McClellan. And time has vindicated your assertion, was shouted all over the house. It was this speech, made in 1861, that cost her place in the Mint. Ex-Governor Pollock dismissed her, and owned that his reason was the Westchester speech, for at that time McClellan was the idol of the nation. She says that was the best service the Governor could have rendered her, as it forced her to the decision to labor no longer with her hands for bread, but to open some new path for herself. She continued speaking, during the winter, in many of the neighboring towns, on the political aspects of the war. As the pop

854 Miss Preston was elected to the chair of Physiology and Hygiene, which, as well as the position of Dean, she still occupies. It is well adapted to her taste, and gives full scope to her capabilities. She fills it with dignity and acceptance. The annual announcements of the college prepared by her, are models of clear, sound, and forcible statement, while her introductory lectures and valedictory addresses, delivered by appointment of the faculty, are replete with striking thoughts. In 1861 The woman's hospital of Philadelphia was incorporated, an essential auxiliary to the college and an invaluable charity. It has attained already a position which commands for it the highest respect of the community, has received liberal contributions for its endowment, and possesses a handsome property in buildings and grounds. Nearly three thousand patients were treated through its means, and at the dispensary connected with it, during the past year. Miss Preston was at the outset appoint
