their course, they will only be the first victims of the spirit of improvement. This pamphlet received strong encomiums from the newspaper press in different parts of the country; but especially emphatic among these were the expressions that came from the organs of the great religious denominations whose sympathies had long been averted from Harvard College, and whose opinions Mr. Ticknor did not share. In the interests of good learning, sectarian feeling gave way, and not only the Boston Recorder and Telegraph, but the Journal of Letters, Christianity, and Civil Affairs, published at Princeton under the auspices of the College there,—in an article written by the Rev. Mr. Bruen,— warmly commended Mr. Ticknor's views, and his courage and ability in presenting them. The changes introduced into the arrangements of the College, which had been supported and defended by Mr. Ticknor, were so broad that it is not matter of surprise to find them met by opposition, and that the experim

Bell and Everett were candidates for President and Vice-President of the United States. The same now hangs in the tower of the Mystic Church. Mr. Marvin resigned his office as pastor in January, 1865, and was formally dismissed November 8 of the same year by the ecclesiastical council which installed his successor. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by Dartmouth College, in 1866. His resignation was given in order to assume the editorial and business management of the Boston Recorder, and when that paper was consolidated with the Congregationalist, in 1867, he joined the editorial staff of the united papers, and was also at the same time the managing editor of the Congregational Review. Later he purchased and managed till his death a small paper called the Daily News, in order to advance the cause of temperance, of which he was a stern advocate. He was twice married: first to Miss Elizabeth Burke, of Michigan, and second to Miss Julia A. Carleton, of Charlestown,

what seemed a large sum in those days, which he was ready to sink if need be in the endeavor. There was little to guarantee that such would not be the fate of his capital. Rev. E. D. Moore had owned and published a small paper called the Boston Recorder. He sold a half interest to Deacon Edw. Fay of the Second Congregational Church, Medford, a son of Rev. Dr. Fay of Charlestown, and the paper's name was changed to the Congregationalist, the office being at No. 122 Washington street, Boston.re, for the good it may do. In 1867 Rev. Horace James, having returned from the south, was able to carry out his father's dearest wish and assume his place in the business. Each of the three partners then contributed equally to merge the Boston Recorder—the oldest religious paper in the country—with the Congregationalist. Rev. Henry Martin Dexter was admitted as the fourth member of the firm and the name was changed to W. L. Greene and Company. After his memory was breaking down, the dea

id corner at that time being a part of Medford. Always a quiet and thoughtful girl, it was not surprising that some of her thoughts should seek expression even at sixteen years, at which age this poem was written. The verses were read one day by a friend, Mrs. E. P. Marvin, the wife of the Orthodox minister in Medford, who asked the privilege of showing them to her husband. He also admired them, and after some persuasion Miss Smith allowed him to publish the poem anonymously in the Boston Recorder. This was in 1856. Later they were printed in Gleason's Monthly Companion, a magazine published during the years between 1850 and the ‘60s. As Carrie Smith was very retiring in nature, the poem appeared always without her signature. Other papers copied the verses, and the poem became almost a household friend. Some years after, the poem, greatly changed, appeared in the little volume named Child Life, edited by the poet, John G. Whittier. Friends immediately recognized it, howev
