e Unitarian Church, in whose doctrines her mind found full and lasting rest; throughout this sorrowful time the Reverend James Freeman Clarke was one of her kindest helpers. Several years before this, she had unwillingly left Theodore Parker's congthe synagogue when Paul was preaching near at hand; yet, once made, it was the source of a lifelong joy and comfort. Mr. Clarke was then preaching at Williams Hall; hearing Parker speak of him warmly, she determined to attend his services. She fortance to her and to others. In the autumn of 1861 she went to Washington in company with Governor and Mrs. Andrew, Mr. Clarke and the Doctor, who was one of the pioneers of the Sanitary Commission, carrying his restless energy and indomitable wi! The soldiers liked this, cried, Good for you! and took up the chorus with its rhythmic swing. Mrs. Howe, said Mr. Clarke, why do you not write some good words for that stirring tune? I have often wished to do so! she replied. Waking

d was myself, that essay my Lecture on Duality. This would be an honor, but for my ill-deserts. Be witness, O God! that this is no imaginary or sentimental exclamation, but a feeling too well founded on fact. After the lecture she writes: Mr. Clarke introduced me charmingly. I wore my white cap, not wishing to read in my thick bonnet. I had quite a full audience. ... I consider this opportunity a great honor and privilege conferred upon me. January 28. At a quarter before 2 P. M. finike taking a front tooth from a certain number of persons in order to make up a set of teeth for a party who wants it and who does not want to pay for it. We should like to linger over the pages of the Boatswain's Whistle ; to quote from James Freeman Clarke's witty dialogues, Edward Everett's stately periods, Dr. Holmes's sparkling verse; to describe General Grant, the prize ox, white as driven snow and weighing 3900 pounds, presented by the owner to President Lincoln and by him to the fair.

b. 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. December 16. Sarah Clarke Sister of James Freeman Clarke. An artist of some note and a beloved friend of our mother. and Foley Margaret Foley, the sculptor. are to dine with me at 5.30. Went out at 10 A. M. to take Foley to see [William] Hunt, whom we found in his studio in a queer knitted coat. He showed an unfinished head of General Grant, in which it struck me that the eyes looked like the two scales of a balance in which men and events could be weighed. The Journal for 1866 opens with a Latin aspiration: Quod bonus, felix, fau

ch many noble thoughts were uttered. Nobler than any special view or presentation was the general sense of the dignity of human character and of its affinity with things divine, which always gave the master tone to the discussions. She says elsewhere of the Radical Club:-- The really radical feature in it was the fact that the thoughts presented at its meetings had a root; were in that sense radical.... Here I have heard Wendell Phillips, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, John Weiss and James Freeman Clarke, Athanase Coquerel, the noble French Protestant preacher; William Henry Channing, worthy nephew of his great uncle; Colonel Higginson, Doctor Bartol, and many others. Extravagant things were sometimes said, no doubt, and the equilibrium of ordinary persuasion was not infrequently disturbed for a time. But the satisfaction of those present when a sound basis of thought was vindicated and established is indeed pleasant in remembrance.... To Dickens's second reading, which I enjoyed

y to the noble parent who built this grand home for me! I hope to help young people to understand something of parental love and its responsibilities. But parents also must study children, since each new soul may require a new method. June 12. Home very gladly. Helped Maud with her Latin. At 3.30 to rehearse Midsummer-Night's Dream. I Hermia and Snout. At 7.30 the reading, which was the pleasantest we have had. [These readings were in the vestry of the Church of the Disciples. Mr. Clarke, our mother, Erving Winslow, and others of the congregation took part: we remember the late Professor James Mills Pierce as Orlando in As you like it ; his beautiful reading of the part contrasting oddly with his middle-aged, longbearded personality. Our mother's rendering of Maria in Twelfth night was something to remember.] June 17. Up at five and to get a boat. Maud and the Lieutenant [Zalinski] rowed me to Fort Independence and back, a most refreshing excursion. Dear Dr. Hedge ca

the platform were gathered the woman suffrage leaders, some of whom she already knew: William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, James Freeman Clarke; veteran captains of Reform, her husband's old companions-in-arms. Looking in their steadfast faces, she felt that she belonged with them; that she must hthe Congress grew more and more important to her. That of 1875 found her much tossed in mind about going, on account of the Doctor's ill health. She consulted Mr. Clarke, but felt afterward that this was a mistake. My daemon says: Go and say nothing. Nobody can help you bear your own child. She went. No matter how fatihe country, from Maine to California, from Minnesota to Louisiana; but the pulpit in which she felt most truly at home was that of the Church of the Disciples. Mr. Clarke had first welcomed her there: his successor, Charles Gordon Ames, became in turn her valued friend and pastor. The congregation were all her friends. On Sun

little you come to! Did I not cost as much as another? And what do I come to? By Jingo! Darling, I have got some little miserable mean excuses. Want 'em? Have had much writing to do, many words for little money. For Critic (N. Y.) and for Youth's companion and other things. Then, have kept up great correspondence with Uncle Sam, who has given me a house in Beacon Street! oh gonniac! We had lit'ry party last week. Dr. Holmes and William Dean Howells read original things. James Freeman Clarke recited and we had ices and punch. Zzz Welsh for glory : a favorite exclamation of hers, learned in childhood from a Welsh servant. Maud thought it frumpy, but others liked it very much. Have been to church to-day, heard J. F. C. 'Most off crutches now and hobble about the house with a cane. Use crutches to go up and down stairs and to walk in the street. ... Have heard much music and have seen Salvini once, in the Gladiator, and hope to see him on Thursday, in MacBETHeth. How

ties of the place, and afterwards proclaimed that Mrs. Howe was the most agreeable woman he had ever met. And I never once opened my lips! she said. On June 10 she preached in Oakland: the one sermon which I have felt like preaching in these parts: Thou art Peter, and upon this rock. The house was well filled.... After service as I leaned over to speak to those who stopped to greet me, I saw one of our old church-members, who told me, with eyes full of tears, that our dear James Freeman Clarke is no more. This was like an ice-bolt; I could not realize it at first. A very tender history Did in your passing fall. Years of sweet converse, of following and dependence, end with this event. So we come to the last day at the ranch, the parting with the dear sister; the departure for San Francisco, laden with roses and good wishes. On the way eastward she stopped at Salt Lake City, and went to the Mormon Tabernacle; an enormous building with a roof like the back of

great satisfaction.... I 'fesses that I did attend the Bryant Centenary Festival at Cummington, Mass. I read a poem written for the occasion. Charles Dudley Warner and Charles Eliot Norton were there, and Parke Godwin presided. August 31. To Newport with Flossy, taking my screed with me, to the meeting of Colonial Dames, at the rooms of the Historical Society, one of which is the old Seventh-Day Baptist Church, which my greats grandfather, Governor Samuel Ward, used to attend. ... Bishop Clarke made the closing address, full of good sense, sentiment and wit — a wonderful man for eighty-two years of age. To Laura Oak Glen, September 6, 1894. Q. What has been your mother's treatment of you latterly? Ans. Quite devilish, thank you. Q. Has her conduct this past season been worse than usual? Ans. Much as usual. I regret to say, could n't be worse. (Family Catechism for 1894.) Oh! I've got a day to myself, and I've got some chillen, and I'm going to write to '

of my mind. The hearing was a good one, all except a dreadful woman, calling herself a Socialist, full of insufferable conceit and affectation of knowledge. An English labor man spoke well. March 22. ... As I left church, Mrs. James Freeman Clarke stopped me, took both of my hands in hers and said she was sure that the world was better for my having been in it. This from so undemonstrative a person moved me a good deal and consoled me somewhat for my poor deserts and performances in the pabut am compelled to acknowledge that it is best so. Carrie showed great energy in moving down all the small objects to which she supposed me to be attached. I have now had an exquisite sitting in my green parlor, reading a sermon of dear James Freeman Clarke's. June 28. Wrote my stint of Reminiscences in the morning.... At bedtime had very sober thoughts of the limitation of life. It seemed to me that the end might be near. My lameness and the painful condition of my feet appear like warn
