Well, thereafter, I dined elsewhere and did eplied, Mrs. Jimfarlan, I adore your pig, so down we sat. Oh, yes, Mamma, says Julia, and I know the rest.

y little bit of the bed, you wanted so much of it. This winter, I bought you a pair of snow-boots, of which you were very proud .... We all got along happily, dear, till early in April (1863), when your father desired me to make a journey with Julia, who needed change of scene a little. So I had to go and leave you, my sweet of sweets.... We were glad enough to see each other again, you and I, and I felt as if I could never part with you again. But I was only to have you for a few days,er afflictions. God bless you all, darling. Ask dear Cogswell to write me a few lines — tell him that this deep cut makes all my previous life seem shallow and superficial. Tell him to think of me a little in my great sorrow. Your loving Julia. She had by now definitely joined the Unitarian Church, in whose doctrines her mind found full and lasting rest; throughout this sorrowful time the Reverend James Freeman Clarke was one of her kindest helpers. Several years before this, she

twofold poignancy. She went through life in double harness, thought and feeling abreast; though often torn between the two, in the main she gave free rein to both, trusting the issue to God. The winter of 1864-65 was an arduous one. She was writing new philosophical essays, and reading them before various circles of friends. The larger audience which she craved was not for the moment attainable. She was studying deeply, reading Latin by way of relaxation, going somewhat into society (Julia and Florence being now of the dancing age), and entertaining a good deal in a quiet way. In February she writes: Much tormented by interruptions. Could not get five quiet minutes at a time. Everybody torments me with every smallest errand. And I am trying to study philosophy! Probably we were troublesome children and made more noise than we should. Her accurate ear for music was often a source of distress to her, as one of us can witness, an indolent child who neglected her practising

Julia, from her early girlhood, had interested herself deeply in all that concerned the blind, and hadould come into Music Hall, leading a blind pupil in either hand. Early in this summer of 1866 Julia accompanied the Doctor on a visit to the State Almshouse at Monson, and saw there a little orphaake him home with her. Accordingly she brought him to the Valley, a sturdy, blue-eyed Irish lad. Julia, child of study and poetry, had no nursery adaptability, and little Tukey was soon turned over t playing with him. She would have been glad to adopt him, but this was not thought practicable. Julia had already tired of him; the Doctor for many reasons advised against it. She grieved all sum morning for the croquet party in the afternoon, which was very pleasant and successful. Took Julia to the party on board the Rhode Island. She looked charmingly, and danced. I was quite happy b

e children. And yet I am almost sure I shall do so. Chev clearly wishes me to go. ... Whether I go or stay, God help me to make the best of it. My desire to help Julia is a strong point in favor of the journey. It would be, I think, a turning-point for her. Later she writes:-- Chev has taken our passage in the Asia, which ud, Harry, and Flossy on board to say farewell, with J. S. Dwight, H. P. Warner, and other near friends. Many flowers; the best first day at sea I ever passed. Julia and Laura were the happy two chosen to join this expedition, the other children staying with relatives and friends.

and assembly; if they danced, she was happy; if not, there was grief behind the cheerful smile, and a sigh was confided to the Journal next day. Romance hovered over No. 32 Mount Vernon Street. The Greek lessons which were to mean so much to Julia and Laura were brought to a sudden end by the engagement of Julia to the Greek teacher, Michael Anagnos.

Florence (who was now housekeeper, lightening our mother's cares greatly) was already engaged to David Prescott Hall; while Laura's engagement to Henry Richards was announced shortly after Julia's. The three marriages followed at intervals of a few months. Meantime Harry, whose youthful pranks had been the terror of both parents, had graduated from Harvard, and was now, after two years 1 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, beginning his chosen work as a metallurgist.

d with some embarrassment that she might speak to the officers of the society, when the public meeting should be adjourned! She makes no comment on this proceeding, but says, I accordingly met a dozen or more of these gentlemen in a side room, where I simply spoke of my endeavors to enlist the sympathies and efforts of women in behalf of the world's peace. Returning to London, she had the privilege of attending as a delegate one of the great Prison Reform meetings of our day. In 1843, Julia the bride would not have considered it a privilege to attend a meeting for prison reform. She would have shrugged her shoulders, would perhaps have pouted because the Chevalier cared more for these things than for the opera, with Grisi, Mario, and Lablache: she might even have written some funny verses about the windmill-tilting of her Don Quixote. Now, she stood in the place that failing health forbade him to fill, with a depth of interest, an earnestness of purpose, equal to his own. Sh

The Secretary of State, Sefior Gautier, a grave person with more culture than most of the Dominicans, was the Doctor's chosen friend. To return the many attentions showered upon them, a ball in the old convent was arranged. The Doctor once said to her, If you were on a desert island with nobody there but one old darkey, you would give a party. (But it was from Cuba that he wrote, Julia knows three words of Spanish, and is constantly engaged in active conversation. ) To find herself at Carnival, the leader of a gay party, living in a spacious palace, supported by the guns and the officers of an American warship (the Narragansett, with De Long and other officers on board), was an opportunity not to be missed. She thus describes the entertainment:-- Hans Breitmann gife a barty. So did we. To see Santo Domingo was little, without seeing the Dominicans also. Some d

d found several of the old people again, old Nancy who used to make curious patchwork; old Benny, halfwitted; Elsteth, Henrietta, and Harriet, very glad to see us. Julia read them a Psalm, then Harriet and Elsteth sang an interminable Methodist hymn, and I was moved to ask if they would like to have me pray with them. They assent after most of the household impedimenta had been sent up to Boston, and were caught napping. Sitting quietly with Chev over the fire after a game of whist with Julia and Paddock,--a hack-driver knocked at the door of our little back parlor, saying that a gentleman was waiting at the front door for admission. I opened the door wring my heart, in the prospect of its speedy dismantlement and the division of its dear contents. Here I came on my return from Europe in 1844, bringing my dear Julia, then an infant of six months. Uncle John had just bought and fitted it up. Here I came to attend Sister Louisa's wedding, Uncle John being rather distant to me, s
