he could. Julia, from her early girlhood, had interested herself deeply in all that concerned the blind, and had become more and more the Doctor's companion and workfellow at the Perkins Institution, where much of his time was necessarily spent. She had classes in various branches of study, and in school and out gave herself freely to her blind pupils. A friend said to her mother, many years later, It was one of the sights of Boston in the days of the Harvard Musical concerts to see your Julia's radiant face as she would come into Music Hall, leading a blind pupil in either hand. Early in this summer of 1866 Julia accompanied the Doctor on a visit to the State Almshouse at Monson, and saw there a little orphan boy, some three years old, who attracted her so strongly that she begged to be allowed to take him home with her. Accordingly she brought him to the Valley, a sturdy, blue-eyed Irish lad. Julia, child of study and poetry, had no nursery adaptability, and little Tukey was

grieved all summer for the child; but was afterward made happy by his adoption into a cheerful and prosperous home. This was a summer of arduous work. The Tribune demanded more letters; Kant and Maine could not be neglected, and soon Fichte was added to them. Moreover, the children must have every pleasure that she could give them. Worked hard all the morning for the croquet party in the afternoon, which was very pleasant and successful. Took Julia to the party on board the Rhode Island. She looked charmingly, and danced. I was quite happy because she enjoyed it. Early August found her in Northampton, reporting for the Tribune the Convention of the American Academy of Science. The Doctor and Julia joined her, and she had very busy days, attending the sessions and writing her reports. Read over several times my crabbed essay on the Two Necessities, which I determine to read in the evening. I have with me also the essay on Limitations, far more amusing and popul

After leaving Washington, she spent several days with her sister Annie in Bordentown, and there and in New York gave readings which seem to have been much more successful than those in Washington. After the New York reading she is glad and thankful. The visits in Bordentown were always a delight and refreshment to her. She Bordentown were always a delight and refreshment to her. She and her little Hitter frolicked, once more two girls together: e.g., the following incident:-- The Reverend-- Bishop was the Mailliards' pastor; a kindly gentleman, who could frolic as well as another. One day our Aunt Annie, wishing to ask him to dine, sat down at her desk and wrote:--My dear Mr. Bishop, To-day we shall dish up At one and a half The hind leg of a calf At this point she was called away on household business.

He was nearly of the age of her little Sammy: something in his countenance reminded her of the lost child, and she found delight i

To the Senate at 11.30. When the business hour is over, Fessenden moves the consideration of the House Resolution proposing the delay in the admission of members for the Southern States until the whole South shall be in a state for readmission. Sherman, of Ohio, moves the postponement of the question, alleging the present excitement as a reason for this. (He probably does this in the Copperhead interest.) At this Fessenden shows his teeth and shakes the Ohio puppy pretty well. Howe of Wisconsin also speaks for the immediate discussion of the question. Doolittle, of--, speaking against it, Trumbull calls him to order. Reverdy Johnson pitches in a little. The Ayes and Noes are called for and the immediate consideration receives a good majority. Fessenden now makes his speech, reads the passage from the President's speech, calling the committee of fifteen a directory,--comments fully on the powers of Congress, the injustice of the President and his defiant attitude....

ith Maine's work on Ancient law, from which she quotes freely. Here and there are touches of her own. Epicureans are to Stoics as circumference to centre. I think Hegel more difficult than important. Many people suppose that the difficulty of a study is a sure indication of its importance. In these years the Doctor and our sister Julia were in summer time rather visitors than members of the family. The former was, as Governor Bullock said of him, driving all the Charities of Massachusetts abreast, and could enjoy the Valley only by snatches, flying down for a day or a week as he could. Julia, from her early girlhood, had interested herself deeply in all that concerned the blind, and had become more and more the Doctor's companion and workfellow at the Perkins Institution, where much of his time was necessarily spent.

fort to get its points thoroughly in my mind. Go late to the Barnards'. The scientifics arrive very late, Agassiz gets there at 9. I begin to read soon after. The ladies of our party are all there. I feel a certain enthusiasm in my work and subject, but do not communicate it to the audience, which seemed fatigued and cold; all at least but Pierce, Agassiz, and Davis. Had I done well or ill to read it? . . . Some soul may have carried away a seed-grain of thought. August 11.... To Mount Holyoke in the afternoon. The ascent was frightful, the view sublime. In the evening went to read to the insane people at the asylum; had not Later Lyrics, but Passion Flowers. Read from this and recited from the other. Had great pleasure in doing this, albeit under difficulties. Finished second Tribune letter and sent it. Back at the Valley, she plunges once more into Fichte; long hours of study, varied by picnics and sailing parties. To church at St. Mary's. X. preached. The beg

Boylston Place, leaving the Valley with great regret, but feeling more the importance of being with the children, as I draw nearer to them. Our mother had remained after the rest of us, to close the house. In Boston she had the great pleasure of welcoming to this country her nephew, Francis Marion Crawford, then a boy of twelve years. Born and bred in Rome, a beautiful and petted child, he was now to learn to be an American schoolboy. She took him herself to St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire; and for a year or two he spent most of his holidays with us, to the delight of us all. In this autumn of 1866 she undertook a new task, of which the first mention in the Journal reads: I will here put the names of some writers of stories whom I may employ for the magazine. A list of writers follows: and the next day she writes: I saw J. R. Gilmour and agreed with him to do editorial service for thirty dollars per week for three months. This magazine was the Northern Lights. T

A Republican caucus took all the members of Congress. Garrison also lectured. I was sorry, but did my best and said, God's will be done. But I ought to have worked harder to get an audience.

He heard Hegel in his youth and thinks him, as I do, decidedly inferior to Kant, morally as well as philosophically .... The laws and duties of society rest upon a supposed compact, but this compact cannot deprive any set of men of rights and limit them to duties, for if you refuse them all rights, you deprive them even of the power to become a party to this compact, which rests upon their right to do so. Our slaves had no rights. Women have few. After leaving Washington, she spe

an to read Grote's Plato, and the Journal contains much comment on the Platonic philosophy. Another interest which came to her this autumn was that of singing with the Handel and Haydn Society. She and Florence joined the altos, while Harry, then in college (Harvard, 1869), sang bass. We find her also, in early December, rehearsing with a small chorus the Christmas music for the Church of the Disciples, and writing and rehearsing a charade for the Club. December 12. Saw my new book at Tilton's. It looks very well, but I am not sanguine about its fate. Later Lyrics made less impression than either of the earlier volumes. It has been long out of print; our mother does not mention it in her Reminiscences ; even in the Journal, the book once published, there are few allusions to it, and those in a sad note: Discouraged about my book, and so forth; yet it contains much of her best work.
