Hear me, great Heaven! Guide and assist me. No mortal can. The next day's entry is more cheerful. Feel better to-day. Made the acquaintance of Aldrich and Howells and their wives, at Alger's last evening. I enjoyed the evening more than usual. Aldrich has a very refined face. Howells Mr. Howells, in his Literary BostHowells 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.

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 poetess. I believe she did not care to speak m

rity! posterity! how much you cost, and how little you come to! Did I not cost as much as another? And what do I come to? By Jingo! Darling, I have got some little miserable mean excuses. Want 'em? Have had much writing to do, many words for little money. For Critic (N. Y.) and for Youth's companion and other things. Then, have kept up great correspondence with Uncle Sam, who has given me a house in Beacon Street! oh gonniac! We had lit'ry party last week. Dr. Holmes and William Dean Howells read original things. James Freeman Clarke recited and we had ices and punch. Zzz Welsh for glory : a favorite exclamation of hers, learned in childhood from a Welsh servant. Maud thought it frumpy, but others liked it very much. Have been to church to-day, heard J. F. C. 'Most off crutches now and hobble about the house with a cane. Use crutches to go up and down stairs and to walk in the street. ... Have heard much music and have seen Salvini once, in the Gladiator, and hope

of my friends well in mind. Oh! help me, divine Father, to merit even a very little of Thy kindness! In this autumn she was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and in December she wrote for its first meeting a poem called The Capitol. She greatly desired to read this poem before the association, and Maud, albeit with many misgivings, agreed to take her on to Washington. This was not to be. On learning of her intention, three officers of the association, William Dean Howells, Robert Underwood Johnson, and Thomas Nelson Page, sent her a round-robin telegram, begging her not to run the risk of the long winter journey. The kindly suggestion was not altogether well taken. Ha! she flashed out. They think I am too old, but there's a little ginger left in the old blue jar! She soon realized the wisdom as well as the friendliness of the round robin, and confided to the Journal that she had been in two minds about it. On Christmas Day she writes:-- Tha
