f the family of Judge Fay, wherefore it has since been known as Fay House. Behind it were inclosures in which the venerable Professor Sophocles cared for a collection of hens, for each egg of which he seemed to have a personal interest. Edward Everett had once lived in the building, and Professor McKean had his residence in it during his professorship from 1810 to 1818. It was not known generally then that in the front room in the second story on the north side of the front hall the Reverend Samuel Gilman, a relative of Judge Fay, had written the words of Fair Harvard, to be used on the occasion of the two hundredth anniversary of Harvard College,—words that have been sung at every Commencement since that day. However, this is by the way. The house was occupied at the time, and there seemed no probability that it could ever be obtained for such a purpose as the anxious schemers had in mind. Nothing could be said, of course, of such a desire. The simple plan that was destined to

e, everybody feels most kindly to you. All will take a deep interest in you, but there are some who have more than a common interest; they feel a warm affection. Pray do not forget Boston. I feel, my dear friend, how little claim I have to your friendship; but the heart speaks from its fulness, and I cannot withhold the expressions of my warm attachment. After quitting Prescott, I went to the Anti-slavery Fair, where I talked with Mrs. Loring Mrs. Ellis Gray Loring, sister of Rev. Dr. Samuel Gilman, of Charleston, S. C. Mrs. Loring and her husband were among Sumner's warmest and most constant friends. and Mrs. Chapman about you. Then I saw Hillard, and continued the theme; and so night came. I told Prescott I should write to you to-day, and he said, Put in my kindest regards. Believe us, dear Morpeth, all mindful of you, and myself more than all. Ever and ever sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. To Lord Morpeth, New York. Boston, Dec. 30, 1841. Thanks, my dear Morpeth

of the girls. Mary has returned,—pallid, delicate, fading, looking sweetly, and like an angel. At times she seems to me so well that I think the dark cloud may turn again to us its bright folds. But I feel too strongly that there is an iron hand on her, which cannot be unloosed. I hope you will find time to write her a long letter, full of details that may charm her. . . . The article on Architecture North American Review, April, 1844; Vol. LVIII. p. 436. is very clever. It is by Gilman,—a young man of twenty-seven, who first studied theology, then law; but during these grave studies his heart was in Architecture,—for which he seems to me to have a decided genius. At the meeting of our Antiquarian Society last week, we voted to publish a volume to contain the early record of the General Court of Massachusetts. As I am Chairman of the Committee on Publication, the labor falls upon me; though I have now more than I can do of other things. Ever affectionately yours, Cha<

le and that much of it is freely opened to the girls whenever needed. The broad stairway in the main hall divides at the first landing into two parts and here, facing one another, hang the portraits of Charles First of England and his wife. The second floor is wholly given up to recitation rooms which, with their cherry desks, comfortable chairs, and picture-hung walls are pleasant working rooms for the students. The one at the front on the left contains a treasure, the picture of Dr. Samuel Gilman and the original manuscript of Fair Harvard, which was composed and written in this room for the two hundredth anniversary of Harvard College. Another broad staircase leads to the third story, and here we find more recitation rooms. At the head of the stairs hangs a lifelike portrait of Prof. Louis Agassiz which was made for the Columbian Fair. At the left is the botanical laboratory, a bright and cheery room containing collections interesting even to the uninitiated. Let us
