rofessor Fisher, who remained sitting in his berth. Mr. Everhart was the last person who left the cabin, and the last who ever saw Professor Fisher alive. I should not have spoken of this incident of family history with such minuteness, except for the fact that it is so much a part of Mrs. Stowe's life as to make it impossible to understand either her character or her most important works without it. Without this incident The minister's Wooing never would have been written, for both Mrs. Marvyn's terrible soul struggles and old Candace's direct and effective solution of all religious difficulties find their origin in this stranded, storm-beaten ship on the coast of Ireland, and the terrible mental conflicts through which her sister afterward passed, for she believed Professor Fisher eternally lost. No mind more directly and powerfully influenced Harriet's than that of her sister Catherine, unless it was her brother Edward's, and that which acted with such overwhelming power on

or the megalosaurians. Thus far the story has fully justified our hopes. The leading characters are all fresh and individual creations. Mrs. Kate Scudder, the notable Yankee housewife; Mary, in whom Cupid is to try conclusions with Calvin; James Marvyn, the adventurous boy of the coast, in whose heart the wild religion of nature swells till the strait swathings of Puritanism are burst; Dr. Hopkins, the conscientious minister come upon a time when the social prestige of the clergy is waning, arishioners? Is he not to learn the bitter difference between intellectual acceptance of a creed and that true partaking of the sacrament of love and faith and sorrow that makes Christ the very life-blood of our being and doing? And has not James Marvyn also his lesson to be taught? We foresee him drawn gradually back by Mary from his recoil against Puritan formalism to a perception of how every creed is pliant and plastic to a beautiful nature, of how much charm there may be in an hereditar

nes lay along the track, bleeding away in lifelong despair, --all this is set forth with great clearness and power. Mrs. Marvyn, whose probably unregenerate son had been lost at sea, as was reported, was bound up in the logical consequences of hey overhead the dreadful monologue, burst into the room. Come, ye poor little lamb, she said, walking straight up to Mrs. Marvyn, come to old Candace! --and with that she gathered the pale form to her bosom, and sat down and began rocking her, as both its strong and its weak points, its wholesome and its pernicious effects. We are led to think of it somewhat as James Marvyn thought of Dr. Hopkins himself: He is a great, grand, large pattern of a man,a man who isn't afraid to think, and to stheologians, might have been modified in some of their parts, and on the whole greatly improved by such a voyage as young Marvyn suggests. The minister's Wooing, apart from the mere story which is told in it, was rightly regarded as a subtle and mas
