Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Letters and Journals of Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Chapter 3: Journeys (search)
. An adventure! . . Last night we heard mysterious steps round our camp, and the men watched for moose, but none came. Just before breakfast came two rifle shots in quick succession, while our one rifle lay quiet against a tree! Who might it be? Some said Demons. All rushed in different directions-I to the waterside, where stood a dripping and soiled man with eyes like blue fire, haggard and torn. He looked drunk or insane, but turned out at last a wandering hunter who had come from Hunt's since 2 P. M. yesterday, on our track, lost himself in a swamp, and was sleepless, tired, and hungry, and just washing himself. He was a Lowell man, but seemed to have been all around the world. Our woodsmen received him to their hearts at once and we to share our delicious fish and he in return had partridges for us. So he has accompanied us to-day on our four-mile walk to our noon camp on Roaring Brook at the foot of the mountain. I write now on a tree which McLane has felled for our b

ally beginning to appreciate W. somewhat. His last two Sermons were so much liked they insisted upon their being published—and he gave his consent. They are upon The Tongue. Another sermon on Merchants attracted much attention, and a friend begged the preacher to write and print a lecture on the same subject and sow it broadcast. This advice was taken, for later he said, I have just had one of the most real honors I have ever had; the reprinting of nearly all my Lecture on Merchants in Hunt's Merchant's Magazine. To the children of his parish, the minister preached sermons once a month, writing to his mother, I want to do something for them and this is much easier to me than Sunday School addresses. The little things seem to listen and enjoy it. A letter recently received from one of these very children, now a wife and mother, says that Mr. Higginson was connected with many of the most joyous experiences of her childhood; for while he was an inspiration to the young peopl

wers refreshed my soul—they are so rare here. To Newport and to Mrs. Dame's table drifted in those days sundry bright women, whose sparkling conversation and witty repartees made meal-time a brilliant occasion. One of these gifted women was Helen Hunt, who became an intimate friend of the Higginsons. The Colonel was glad to be her literary adviser, reading in manuscript all the Saxe Holm stories, whose authorship Mrs. Hunt struggled to keep a profound secret. After she became Mrs. Jackson Mrs. Hunt struggled to keep a profound secret. After she became Mrs. Jackson she wrote to him in 1877, He [her husband] knows how much I owe to you—all my success as a writer. One of the Newport residents whom Colonel Higginson especially enjoyed was La Farge, of whom he wrote:— I ought not to complain of living in a place which has La Farge.. .. He is one of the few men to whom it is delightful to talk—almost the only one with whom I can imagine talking all night for instance as that is not my way. He is so original and cultivated at the same time, and so fr

. The lecture was considered a great success. All standing room occupied and almost everybody stayed through. I found reading to be far easier than speaking without notes (as I have done so long) and almost as effective; it seemed like beginning a new career and my voice served me well. Of the third course, in 1905, he wrote:— Feb. 28. First Lowell lecture (Wordsworth-shire). A great success—an unexpectedly fine voice. March 7. Second Lowell lecture. Carlyle, Ruskin, Froude, Hunt. March 28. Fifth Lowell lecture. Dickens, Thackeray and reading Tennyson's poems. April 4. Last Lowell lecture. Considered very successful and was pronounced by John Lowell the best he ever heard in that hall. In May, 1903, he spoke at the Concord Emerson celebration:— Meeting good and my address successful. After it, Senator Hoar turned to me and said, grasping my hand, What I have to say is pewter and tinsel compared to that. His position as chairman of the Harvar<

to the hall, still not half convinced, and was rather reluctantly persuaded to take a seat on the platform, although some of her best friends were there,--Garrison, Phillips, and James Freeman Clarke, her pastor. But there was also Lucy Stone, who had long been the object of imaginary disapproval; and yet Mrs. Howe, like every one else who heard Lucy Stone's sweet voice for the first time, was charmed and half won by it. I remember the same experience at a New York meeting in the case of Helen Hunt, who went to such a meeting on purpose to write a satirical letter about it for the New York Tribune, but said to me, as we came out together, Do you suppose I could ever write a word against anything which that woman wishes to have done? Such was the influence of that first meeting on Mrs. Howe. When they requested me to speak, she says, I could only say, I am with you. I have been with them ever since, and have never seen any reason to go back from the pledge then given. She adds that

.. Thucydides is very difficult. This was the Town and Country Club, for some years a great interest to her. In her Reminiscences she tells how in a summer of the late sixties or early seventies, when Bret Harte and Dr. J. G. Holland, Professors Lane and Goodwin of Harvard were spending the season at Newport: A little band of us combined to improve the beautiful summer season by picnics, sailing parties, and household soirees, in all of which these brilliant literary lights took part. Helen Hunt and Kate Field were often of our company, and Colonel Higginson was always with us. Among the frolics of that summer was the mock Commencement, arranged by her and Professor Lane. I acted as President, Colonel Higginson as my aide; we both marched up the aisle in Oxford caps and gowns. I opened the proceedings by an address in Latin, Greek, and English; and when I turned to Colonel Higginson and called him fili mihi dilectissime, he wickedly replied with three bows of such comic
