His wife and retainers remained there during the winter. Going from there in the spring, it is supposed he explored the shores of Chesapeake Bay, and close that region for a settlement. In 1632, Lord Baltimore obtained a charter from Charles I. of the territory on the Chesapeake now forming the State of Maryland. What will you call the country? asked the King. Baltimore referred the matter to his Majesty. Then let us name it after the Queen (Henrietta Maria), said Charles, and call it Mariana. The expert courtier dissented, because that was the name of a Spanish historian who taught that the will of the people is higher than the law of tyrants. Still disposed to compliment the Queen, the King said, Let it be Terra Mariae--Mary's Land. And it was named Maryland. Before the great seal of England was affixed to the charter, Lord Baltimore died, April 15, 1632, and was succeeded by his son Cecil. Ii. Cecilius or Cecil Calvert, second Lord Baltimore, Was born about 1605.

0, 1622) extending from the Merrimac to the Kennebec, and inland to the St. Lawrence They named the territory the Province of Laconia; and to forestall the French settlements in the east, and secure the country to the Protestants, Gorges secured a grant from Sir William Alexander of the whole mainland eastward of the St Croix River, excepting a small part of Acadia. Mason had already obtained a grant of land (March 2, 1621) extending from Salem to the mouth of the Merrimac, which he called Mariana; and the same year a colony of fishermen seated themselves at Little Harbor, on the Piscataqua, just below the site of Portsmouth. Other fishermen settled on the site of Dover (1623), and there were soon several fishing-stations, but no permanent settlement until 1629, when Mason built a house near the mouth of the Piscataqua, and called the place Portsmouth. He and Gorges had agreed to divide their domain at the Piscataqua, and Mason, obtaining a patent for his portion of the territory

disastrous; she had little natural tact, and her endeavors to pay, as was proper, the chief attention to the stranger guests brought upon her the general indignation of her little world in Cambridge. Partly in consequence of this untoward state of things, and in order to change the scene, she was sent as a pupil to the school of the Misses Prescott, in Groton. There she had a curious episode of personal experience, recorded in her Summer on the Lakes as having occurred to a certain fabled Mariana; and she received from her teachers a guidance so kind and tender as to make her grateful for it during all her life. She returned from this school in the spring of 1825, being then just fifteen. At this time she lived, as always, a busy life,rose before five in summer, walked an hour, practiced an hour on the piano, breakfasted at seven, read Sismondi's European literature in French till eight, then Brown's Philosophy till half past 9, then went to school for Greek at twelve, then pra

spects of that new world. It also excited interest in some quarters through the episodes themselves, especially that of Mariana, which was taken to be autobiographical, as it partly was; although the character of Sylvain, Mariana's supposed lover, Mariana's supposed lover, was almost wholly imaginary, as the following letter will show :-- As to my book, there are complimentary notices in the papers, and I receive good letters about it. It is much read already, and is termed very entertaining!

They admire, at poetic distance, that powerful nature that would alarm them so in real life . . . Imagine prose eyes, int of genius, one ray of soul; it was very painful and symbolized much, far more than I have expressed with Sylvain and Mariana. Ms. (W. H. C.)

en doors opened out of it, and I opened one by one--no fire, no light, no person; it became a nightmare, and I thought I should go on all night and forever, penetrating into remote silent rooms in the great old dark house. Perhaps some dejected Mariana I should find at last — or some Sleeping Beauty. At last I opened the remotest door and there she was — in such a room If I had been wandering about the George and Vulture, or some storied English inn, and had come to such a kitchen, I should hd black with time and good cheer. Old tables and chests of drawers; two great fireplaces-one altered to contain the most enormous cooking stove ever beheld; the other legs altered, and with six great legs of bacon hanging in its wide embrace. Mariana turned out an elderly are kindly Irish woman, who soon evoked a mistress, the tartest and most precise of Yankees, who turned an ear less deaf than indignant to our urgent entreaties to have our tea in the kitchen and fairly ordered us off.

ore access to those finer traits of Indian character that are disappearing so fast amid persecution and demoralization. But the book as a whole, is very fragmentary and episodical, and in this respect, as well as in the wide range of merit and demerit in the verses here and there interspersed, it reminds one of Thoreau's Week on the Concord and Merrimack rivers. It is hardly possible, however, to regret these episodes, since one of them contains that rare piece of childish autobiography, Mariana; which is however separated from its context in her collected works. In 1844. she removed to New York. It is not the least of Horace Greeley's services to the nation, that he was willing to entrust the literary criticisms of the Tribune to one whose standard of culture was so far above that of his readers or his own. Nevertheless, there she remained for nearly two years, making fearless use of her great opportunity of influence. She was dogmatic, egotistic, and liable to err; but in t
