o give place to the highest joy she had yet known. On March 12, her first child was born, and was christened Julia Romana. There are neither journals nor letters of this period; the only record of it — from her hand — lies in two slender manuscript books of verse, marked respectively 1843 and 1844. In these volumes we trace her movements, sometimes by the title of a poem, as Sailing, The ladies of Llangollen, The Roman beggar boy, etc., sometimes by a single word written after the poem, Berne, Milan. From these poems we learn that she did not expect to survive the birth of her child; yet with that birth a new world opened before her. He gave the Mother's chastened heart, He gave the Mother's watchful eye, He bids me live but where thou art, And look with earnest prayer on high. Then spake the angel of Mothers To me in gentle tone: “Be kind to the children of others And thus deserve thine own!” When, in the spring of 1844, she left Rome with husband, sister, and baby, i

an patriots. By what miracle, she asked herself long afterward, was the great structure overthrown? She adds, The remembrance of this miracle forbids me to despair of any great deliverance, desired and delayed. He who maketh the wrath of men to serve Him, can make liberty blossom out of the very rod that the tyrant [wields]. Southward still they journeyed, by vettura, in the old leisurely fashion, and came at last to Rome. The thrill of wonder that Julia felt at the first sight of St. Peter's dome across the Campagna was one of the abiding impressions of her life; Rome was to be one of the cities of her heart; the charm was cast upon her in that first moment. Yet she says of that Rome of 1843, A great gloom and silence hung over it. The houses were cold, and there were few conveniences; but Christmas found the Howes established in the Via San Niccolo da Tolentino, as comfortably as might be. Here they were joined by Louisa Ward, and here they soon gathered round them a de

Yes, said she, and in consequence, the whale cannot bear the sight of a pig. Her little nephew made a real bull. He was showing me his rat trap, and, said he, I shall kill the rat before I let him out, eh? ... Dublin, Tuesday. Went to the Repeal meeting at the Corn Exchange. It was held in a small room in the third or fourth story. A shilling, sir, said the man at the door to my husband.--What! replied he, do ladies pay? --Not unless they'd like to become

tand the King of Prussia has about 200,000 men constantly under arms, and if necessary he can increase his force to two millions. This shows the estimation in which he holds your single self! Years later, the King sent Dr. Howe a gold medal in consideration of his work for the blind: by a singular coincidence, its money value was found to equal the sum which the Doctor had been forced to pay for board and lodging in the prison of Berlin. Making a detour, the party journeyed through Switzerland and the Austrian Tyrol, spent some weeks in Vienna, and a month in Milan, where they met Count Gonfalonieri, one of the prisoners of Spielberg. Julia had known two of these sufferers, Foresti and Albinola, in New York, where they lived for many years, beloved and respected. Hearing the talk of these men, and seeing Italy bound hand and foot in temporal and spiritual fetters, she was deeply impressed by the apparent hopelessness of the outlook for the Italian patriots.

ne. We crossed in an open boat, and had a pony ride of five miles, all in as abominable a drizzle as you would wish to see. The Cumberland Lakes, among which we sought the shrine of Wordsworth, were almost as unaccommodating — in driving to Windermere we got wetted to the skin, and dashed down the steep mountain road in a thick mist, with a pair of horses, so unruly that I supposed the miseries of wet garments would soon be cancelled by that of a broken neck. I prayed to Saint Crispin, Saint Nicholas, and the three kings of Koln, and got through the danger — in the evening we visited Wordsworth, a crabbed old sinner, who gave us a very indifferent muffin, and talked repudiation with Chev. As he had just lost a great deal of money by Mississippi bonds, you may imagine that he felt particularly disposed to be cordial to Americans -and not knowing, probably, that New York is not in the heart of Louisiana, he was inclined no doubt to cast part of the odium upon us.

f, took the company somewhat by surprise — they held their tongues, and we departed.... From England the travellers had meant to go to Berlin, but the King of Prussia, who eleven years before had kept Dr. Howe in prison au secret for five weeks for carrying (at the request of General Lafayette) succor to certain Polish refugees, still regarded him as a dangerous person, and Prussia was closed to him and his. This greatly amused Horace Mann, who wrote to the Doctor, I understand the King of Prussia has about 200,000 men constantly under arms, and if necessary he can increase his force to two millions.

called nothing sensual or even sensuous in the dances she saw that season, only the very ectasy and embodiment of grace. (But the Doctor thought Cerito ought to be sent to the House of Correction!) Among the English friends, the one to whom our parents became most warmly attached was Lord Morpeth, afterwards Earl of Carlisle. This gentleman proved a devoted friend. Not only did he show the travellers every possible attention in London, but finding that they were planning a tour through Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, he made out with great care an itinerary for them, giving the roads by which they should travel and the points of interest they should visit. Very reluctantly they left the London of so many delights, and started on the prescribed tour, following in the main the lines laid down by their kind friend. To her sister Louisa Sunday, July 2. ...
