Meanwhile she derived from her mother a different, and, in some ways, a more elevating influence. Mrs. Fuller long outlived both daughter and husband, and I remember her very well. She must have been one of the sweetest and most self-effacing wives ever ruled by a strong-willed spouse. Her maiden name was Margaret Crane, and she was the daughter of Major Peter Crane, of Canton, Mass. Of what good Puritan stock she also came may be seen not alone in the sturdy militia-title which her father bore, but in the following picture, recalling some of Heine's or Erckmann-Chatrian's peasant sketches, of her old mother --the maternal grandmother of Margaret Fuller.

Of all persons whom I have known she had in her most of the angelic,of that spontaneous love for every living thing, for man, and beast, and tree, which restores the golden age. Sarah Margaret Fuller was born May 23, 1810; the eldest child of Timothy Fuller and Margaret Crane. Her birthplace was a house on Cherry Street, in Cambridge, before whose door still stand the trees planted by her father on the year when she saw the light. The family afterwards removed to the Dana house, which then crowned, in a stately way, the hill between Old Cambridge and Cambridgeport. It was later still that they resided in the Brattle house, as I have described. This was Margaret Fullers home until 1833, except that she spent a year or more at the school of the Misses Pres

Yet me also, the wonderful bird, singing in the wild forest, has tempted on, and not in vain. Thus wrote Margaret in the noon of life, when looking back through youth to the dewy dawn of memory. She was the eldest child of Timothy Fuller See Appendix A. and Margaret Crane See Appendix B. and was born in Cambridge-Port, Massachusetts, on the 23d of May, 1810. Among her papers fortunately remains this unfinished sketch of youth, prepared by her own hand, in 1840, as the introductory chapter to an autobiographical romance. Parents.

Circumstances prevented his daughter Margaret from completing a memoir of him which she designed, and which, we believe, would have been a worthy record of a high-minded and distinguished man. Mr. Fuller's published writings are, An Oration delivered at Watertown, July 4, 1809; Address before the Massachusetts Peace Society, 1826; The Election for the Presidency considered, by a Citizen; Speeches on the Seminole War, Missouri Compromise, &c. Hon. Timothy Fuller married Margaret Crane, daughter of Maj. Peter Crane, of Canton, Mass., May 28, 1809. She died Sabbath morning, July 31, 1859. A character like hers—so sweet and amiable, gifted, yet unpretending, with a rare intellect and ardent imagination, with warmth of sentiment and affectionate benignity of heart, together with tender susceptibilities and the love of a sympathetic nature for flowers and every beautiful type of the great Creator— is, indeed, one of the fairest ornaments of existence. Her life was one o
