tellectual 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 had been in. Then sat down close to her and gazed in her lovely face, and as we talked put his hand gently on hers and called her dearest and darlinvely beings. But alas! Maria has a sad cough. Oh, what a misfortune it would be for the world if she were to pass away.... Maria talked more than I ever heard her before and I should never wish her to stop. She apologized for the aspect of James's room, but said it was much worse before he was married, at any rate. Whereupon James averred that she was like Admiral Van Tromp who carried a broom at his masthead. November 18, 1858 . . It is remarkable that James Lowell was . . . entir

had and which I had to hold out of their reach; they were very gentle and timid, though trustful, and I had to keep very quiet, like Rarey. They seemed to wish to understand me — licked my arm to see if I were a branch and rubbed against me to see if I were a stump, and I did not know how to explain myself. I stood in a circle of six... they made a halo, or cow-low about me. 1855. I saw Rachel in Phedre --one of the most terrible things I ever did, yet fascinating and superblike, as Mrs. James well says. I never saw an actress so far removed from the audience; even when called out, she ignores them and her bow seems a part of the play. The acting is more real than anything I ever saw, and the character being detestable, she appears so. The serpent-like begins with her body, which has a joint in every inch of it, like a snake's; every motion is a glide, and her whole form expresses more than anybody's else face.

During the war of 1812-15, she removed to Lynn to pursue her vocation, taking James, her favorite son, a boy of much beauty and promise, with her, that he might learn the trade of shoemaking. Elizabeth was left in Mrs. Farnham's protecting care, when a British sloop-of-war fired two guns to make the Edward haul to. For a while after they reached Baltimore she and her boys lived in Mr. Newhall's family, James being again apprenticed at shoemaking, and Lloyd making himself useful as best he could in doing errands and other light work.

e 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 wrote (September, 1846):— The angel is thinner and paler and is destined to be wholly an angel ere long, I fear, but both were happy. . . .

rdinal Manning—such a prepossessing and distinguished man, the very ideal of an ecclesiastic—tall, spare, with noble head above and narrowing to a keen ascetic jaw—eyes and mouth full of mobility and sensitiveness, the most winning voice and manner, as much American as English, and speaking so nobly and sweetly and humanly. I never felt more the power of the Roman Catholic Church than in seeing how it evolves its man and keeps the type. May 18.

ent its Christian tone To the savage air; no social smoke Curled over woods of snow-hung oak. In a prose paper by him, moreover, The Fish I Didn't catch, published originally in the Little Pilgrim, in Philadelphia, in 1843, there is a sketch of the home of his youth, as suggestive of a rustic boyhood as if it had been made in Scotland. It opens as follows:-- Our old homestead (the house was very old for a new country, having been built about the time that the Prince of Orange drove out James the Second) nestled under a long range of hills which stretched off to the west. It was surrounded by woods in all directions save to the southeast, where a break in the leafy wall revealed a vista of low, green meadows, picturesque with wooded islands and jutting capes of upland. Through these, a small brook, noisy enough as it foamed, rippled, and laughed down its rocky falls by our garden-side, wound, silently and scarcely visible, to a still larger stream, known as the Country Brook.

27 and forty-nine in 1828. These were given under various signatures, of which Adrian was the chief, while Donald, Timothy, Micajah, and Ichabod were others, and the modest initial W. filled up the gaps. The first which appeared under his full name was a long one, The Outlaw, printed in the Gazette on Oct. 28, 1828. He seems to have made an effort in early life to preserve the Greenleaf, which was always his home name, he differing curiously at this last point from Lowell, who was always James at home and Russell, especially in England, to the world outside. Out of all these poems written before 1829, Whittier himself preserved, in the collected edition of his works, only eight, and these in an appendix, in discouragingly small type, as if offering very little encouragement to the reader. Probably these would have passed into oblivion with the rest, had they not been, as he says in his preface, kept alive in the newspapers for the last half-century, and some of them even in bo
