noon service, she wrote the first chapter of a novel. It was soon finished, and was published that year,--a thin volume of two hundred pages, without her name, under the title of Hobomok ; a tale of early times. By an American. In judging of this little book, it is to be remembered that it appeared in the very dawn of American literature. Irving had printed only his Sketch book and Bracebridge Hall; Cooper only Precaution, The Spy, The pioneers, and The Pilot; Miss Sedgwick only The New England tale, and possibly Redwood. This new production was the hasty work of a young woman of twenty-two, inspired by these few examples. When one thinks how little an American author finds in the influences around him, even now, to chasten his style or keep him up to any high literary standard, it is plain how very little she could then have found. Accordingly Hobomok seems very crude in execution, very improbable in plot, and is redeemed only by a certain earnestness which carries the reade

rases. Almost as fiercely as she hates cant, she hates snobbery. Her honest American blood boils at the sight of a snob, and she never fails soundly to chastise him with the valor of her tongue. For that unnatural little monster, that anomaly and anachronism, an American flunkey, even her broadest charity can entertain no hope, either for here, or hereafter. Though whole-hearted in her patriotism, Fanny Fern is not a political bigot. She probably does not aver that she was born in New England at her own particular request; she has found that life is endurable out of Boston; she would doubtless admit that it can be borne with Christian philosophy out of Gotham,--even in small provincial towns, in which the Atlantic monthly and New York Ledger are largely subscribed for. When here, she was enough of a cosmopolitan to praise our great city market,--uttering among some pleasant things, this rather dubious compliment: What have these Philadelphians done, that they should have such

in person, refined and gentle, but with a certain physical awkwardness, proceeding in part from extreme nearsightedness. Of the father I have no recollection, save that he was mentioned with a sort of respect, as being a lawyer and having been a congressman. But his daughter has described him, in her fragment of autobiography, with her accustomed frankness and precision:-- My father was a lawyer and a politician. He was a man largely endowed with that sagacious energy which the state of New England society for the last half century has been so well fitted to develop. His father was a clergyman, settled as pastor in Princeton, Massachusetts, within the bounds of whose parish farm was Wachusett. His means were small, and the great object of his ambition was to send his sons to college. As a boy, my father was taught to think only of preparing himself for Harvard University, and, when there, of preparing himself for the profession of law. As a lawyer, again, the ends constantly

d in her writings call poor devil! supposing him to be her husband! She was brought up as New England girls are generally brought up in the country-, simply, healthfully, purely; with plenty of fs, the bees, and the grasshoppers. She went Maying, too, on May mornings, as every true-born New England child should, as I myself have done, whether the sky were blue or black; whether she shiveredoning, and woe to her who should first lose breath in doing it. Then there were the lovely New England country Sundays, heralded by the song of birds, and odor of blossoms, and creeping away of mi the unfailing big red Bible.. And this is the brilliant tribute of her maturer years to the New England, much-reviled Sabbaths:-- O Puritan Sabbaths doubtless you were sometimes stormy withouthe writes of house-keeping and kindred matters, she knows what she is talking about.

el and Lydia (Hinsdale) Hart, her parents; and a quiet country farmhouse in the parish of Worthington, in Berlin, Connecticut, her birthplace. Born of the best New England stock, she inherited the noblest qualities of her parentage. Her father, a man of unusual strength of intellect and will, was self-reliant, and well-read, in, result, how much of it is due to her agency, or what part of it she should share with her associates. Marianne Parker, a child of Christian parents, of good New England stock, which itself was of best English puritan blood, was born in Dunbarton, N. H., in 1810. She was the seventh of eight children, five daughters and three shat group have worked themselves up into positions of honored usefulness, such as only earnest and intelligent workers can fill.

so horrible a revelation as a woman out of her sphere. A clerical appeal was issued and sent to all the clergymen in New England, calling on them to denounce in their pulpits this unwomanly and unchristian proceeding. Sermons were preached portramany directions, standing as corresponding secretary for the Anti-slavery Society, one of the Board of Managers to the New England Female Medical College, and reading a course of private lectures on practical ethics, before Dio Lewis' school of girlts, temperance, peace, and democracy have been her themes,--singing alike in the Old World and the New. To farmers on. New England's granite hills, to pioneers on the far-off prairies, to merchant princes in crowded cities, and to kings, queens, andt for oratory in the debating society at Oberlin, she decided to fit herself for a public speaker.

With that consciousness warm at her heart, Ellen Tree can look back upon a well-ordered, an honorable, a distinguished, and a successful life. Her rank as a dramatic artist is with the best representatives of English comedy. IV. Clara Louisa Kellogg. America's favorite vocalist, Clara Louisa Kellogg, was born in Sumter, South Carolina, in 1842. She is, however, of New England parentage. Her early years were passed in Connecticut. She was educated at the free schools, and in them she used to sing with her little school-mates; but she does not appear to have attracted attention as a child, by either proficiency in vocal exercises or especial beauty of voice. At one time in her girlhood she sang in a church-choir, in the town of Lyme, where she was thought to possess a pretty voice, but one that could easily be shouted down by more vigorous organs. In 1858 he

in consultation with good Dr. Hannah Longshore, it was decided that she should have her first silk dress. With this friend's advice and blessing, she went to New England to endure fresh trials and disappointments before securing that unquestioned reputation and pecuniary independence she enjoys to-day. Through the influence andumph of that day. At the close she was overpowered with thanks, praises, and salutations of love and gratitude.

In 1848 a class of twelve ladies was formed, under the instruction of Dr. Enoch C. Rolfe and Dr. William M. Cornell. An association styled the American female Medical education Society was organized the same year, and afterward merged in the New England Female Medical College, chartered in 1856, which has been liberally sustained by legislative grants, as well as individual donations. It owns a valuable property, and has many facilities for its work. It has graduated seventy-two women, manynumerous meetings, called for the purpose exclusively of listening to her appeals upon the subject. At intervals, through several summers, as convenience served, and she could be spared from professional charge at home, she made tours through New England, New York State, and Ohio, delivering addresses, organizing associations, visiting colleges and schools. That she spoke well and effectively may be inferred from the character of her audiences, composed of the most intelligent classes, and th
