eatest care. More than this, Lessing was as Lowell realized afterwards,--too critical and polemicinary housekeeper, but the sister of one of Maria Lowell's most intimate friends, and she was such ause which ultimately proved to be their ruin.

On his return to Cambrell or anybody. In fact, he seems to have won Lowell over after this to his own way of thinking. Lowell certainly became more conservative with age. He did not support the movement for negro citizrican Review with him. It would not do to lose Lowell also, so the Republican leaders hit upon the stors met at the Parker House in January, 1877, Lowell deposited his ballot for Hayes and Wheeler, anbut which is really a new name for dogmatism.

ar from a fresh person so pleasant a statement of Mr. Ossoli's character, pleasanter than those we have sometimes heard here. I shall not give up that day you promised me, but find you soon, and make you fix upon one. Yours very truly, Maria Lowell, Cambridge, Elmwood, Friday morn. It is a curious fact that, throughout this letter, Mrs. Lowell uniformly spells the name of Margaret Fuller's husband Ossili, and it illustrates how vague a knowledge of the whole affair had at first reacMrs. Lowell uniformly spells the name of Margaret Fuller's husband Ossili, and it illustrates how vague a knowledge of the whole affair had at first reached America. Through such statements as these it came to be better understood; and the really simple and noble character of Margaret Fuller's young lover stood out above all distrust. There lie before me two old-fashioned daguerreotypes of him, and a lock of his hair, the characteristic blue-black hair of his nation. The pictures represent a thoroughly Italian face and figure: dark, delicate, slender; by no means the man, one would say, to marry at thirty an American woman of thirty-seven,

e Lion from the North was to have walked out of Boston at 6 P. M. with John Hopper (Mrs. Child's and Levi's friend), but he appeared not, being lost in Cambridgeport lanes, we supposed. I was sorry, for J. R. L. says he is a charming person to know, so simple and natural and fresh. . . . Nevertheless it was a pleasant evening. I wanted to become acquainted with Mrs. Putnam, but Mr. Longfellow stood in the way — between two such linguists one yet imperfect in his Swedish has no chance. Maria Lowell is not less lovely than Maria White, however, and I so seldom emerge from my cell that it was agreeable; there are so seldom gatherings of intellectual people here, too, in this Athens of America. We are in a forlorn state hereabouts, I think, in more ways than one. The next reference to the Lowells was made in 1846: Ere long Maria came up and glided gently in at the door. James looked round with his face so radiant, put his arms around her and seated her in the big chair he h

She was his inspiration and his morine; he having the promptness and business qualities which Lowell signally wanted; for instance, my piece about Theodore Par and Fields is always casting about for good things, while Lowell is rather disposed to sit still and let them come.

ed; but so many were going that it did not seem important. ... It was no disappointment to me, for the mere sensation of Civil War I got thoroughly in Kansas. ... I cannot feel as badly as you do about the war; I think that either they or we will emancipate the slaves in some form and so remove prospectively the only real obstacle to peace and prosperity, and then the bequest of debt and hate will be surmounted in a generation or two. January 29 . . Mrs. Richardson, of this' city (Maria Lowell's sister), has just been there [Washington]. She says Generals are dog-cheap; President L. looks like his pictures; Mrs. Lincoln at the levee was well and quite expensively dressed; that is, her laces were fine, worth two thousand dollars, and she told a lady she hardly felt it right to wear them in these times, although they were a present.

midnight. His satisfaction was great, for it seemed to him that he now saw the way to gratify his longing to do something for the world, and wrote, I feel as if a new world were opening before me and my work were now beginning. Afterward he met Lowell who told him what he was earning by writing:— Soon after the Year's Life was published, Graham wrote to him [Lowell] offering $10 per poem if he would publish there—This was afterwards raised to $20 and then $30—now he thinks he could get $50. This encouraged me considerably. Once, the young critic sent a box of gentians to Mrs. Child and carried a fine bunch up to Mrs. Maria Lowell in the evening. Spent an hour there. James and she are perfectly lovely together—she was never so sweet and angel-like in her maiden state as now when a wife. And again, describing a walk, he writes that he met James Lowell and his moonlight maid—how closely I felt bound to them through the sonnets. Of a later visit at the Lowells', he wrot

Yet, after all, 'twixt you and me, Dear Miller, I could never see That Sin's and Error's ugly smirch Stained the walls only of the Church;— There are good priests, and men who take Freedom's torn cloak for lucre's sake,— I can't believe the Church so strong, As some men do, for Right or Wrong.

Referring to her husband's Hudibrastic production, Maria Lowell wrote from Cambridge to Maria Mott Davis (Ms. Jan. 8, 1847): ‘I wonder if you enjoyed his description of the Fair as much as I did. I saw Garrison the other day, and he seemed to be especially pleased with it, and the account of Stephen Foster delighted him. Of that and Maria Chapman he spoke most particularly.
