Chapter 1: Ancestral These are my people, quaint and ancient, Gentlefolks with their prim old ways; This, their leader come from England, Governed a State in early days. I must vanish with my ancients, But a golden web of love Is around us and beneath us, Binds us to our home above. Julia Ward Howe. Our mother was once present at a meeting where there was talk of ancestry and heredity. One of the speakers dwelt largely upon the sins of the fathers. He drew stern pictures of the vice, the barbarism, the heathenism of the good old times, and ended by saying with emphasis that he felt himself bowed down beneath the burden of the sins of his ancestors. Our mother was on her feet in a flash. Mr. So-and-so, she said, is bowed down by the sins of his ancestors. I wish to say that all my life I have been buoyed up and lifted on by the remembrance of the virtues of mine! These words are so characteristic of her, that in beginning the story of her life it seems proper to d

a meeting of the National Peace Society at Park Street Church, Boston. The church was packed with people. When her turn came to speak, the kindly chairman said:-- Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now to have the great pleasure of listening to Mrs. Howe. I am going to ask you all to be very quiet, for though Mrs. Howe's voice is as sweet as ever, it is perhaps not quite so strong. But it carries! said the pupil of old Cardini. The silver tone, though not loud, reached the farthest cornerMrs. Howe's voice is as sweet as ever, it is perhaps not quite so strong. But it carries! said the pupil of old Cardini. The silver tone, though not loud, reached the farthest corner of the great building; the house came down in a thunder of applause. It was a beautiful moment for the proud daughter who sat beside her. Music was one of the passions of her life. Indeed, she felt that it had sometimes influenced her even too much, and in recording the delight she took in the trios and quartets which Mr. Boocock arranged for her, she adds: The reaction from this pleasure, however, was very painful, and induced at times a visitation of morbid melancholy, which threatened

He says that it is full of dramatic vigor, that the interest Julia Ward Howe never flags — but that unhappily Miss H., with the soul and self-abandonment of a great actress, lacks those graces of elocution, which should set forth the beauties of your verses.

ells Mr. Howells, in his Literary Boston Thirty Years Ago, thus speaks of her (1895): I should not be just to a vivid phase if I failed to speak of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and the impulse of reform which she personified. I did not sympathize with this then so much as I do now, but I could appreciate it on the intellectual side. Once, many years later, I heard Mrs. Howe speak in public, and it seemed to me that she made one of the best speeches I had ever heard. It gave me for the first time a notion of what women might do in that sort if they entered public life; but when we met in those earlier days I was interested in her as perhaps our chief poetor thirty dollars per week for three months.
