re I find in a new book of poetry so warm with life. Perhaps, when I have finished the book, I shall ask the privilege of saying something further. At present I content myself with thanking you. With great regard, R. W. Emerson. Oliver Wendell Holmes, always generous in his welcome to younger writers, sent the following poem, never before printed:-- If I were one, O Minstrel wild, That held “the golden cup” Not unto thee, Art's stolen child, My hand should yield it up; Why should I we had recently reviewed some of his own work rather severely. She made her acknowledgment in a poem entitled A vision of Montgomery place, Printed in Words for the Hour, 1857. in which she pictures herself as a sheeted penitent knocking at Dr. Holmes's door. I was the saucy Commonwealth: Oh! help me to repent. Behind my embrasure well-braced, With every chance to hit, I made your banner, waving wide, A mark for wayward wit. 'T was now my turn to walk the street, In dangerous singleness, A

dear companion on life's journey. Those who were left of the great band that made New England glorious in the nineteenth century held closely to each other, and the bond between them had a touching significance. Across the street lived Oliver Wendell Holmes; in Cambridge was Thomas Wentworth Higginson; in Dorchester, Edward Everett Hale. In a letter to her brother she speaks of the constant tear and trot of my Boston life, in which I try to make all ends meet, domestic, social, artistic,ral. It is very sad to lose him, and every one says that a great piece of the old Boston goes with him .... I dined with George William Curtis yesterday at Mrs. Harry Williams's. George William was one of Tom Appleton's pall-bearers,--so were Dr. Holmes and Mr. Winthrop.... Curtis's oration on Wendell Phillips was very fine. April 20. Thought sadly of errors and shortcomings.

Maud, inviting Oliver Wendell Holmes to the party, had written, Mamma will be seventy years young on the 27th. Come and play with her! The Doctor in his reply said, It is better to be seventy years young than forty years old! Dr. Holmes himself was now eighty years old. It was in these days that she went with Laura to call on him, and found him in his library, a big, bright room, looking out on the Charles River, books lining the walls, a prevailing impression of atlases and dictionaries open on stands. The gre out to walk, and she felt this a grave responsibility. One day Patch ran away on Beacon Street, and would not come back when she called him. At this instant Dr. Holmes, passing, paused for a friendly greeting. Mrs. Howe, he said, I trust this fine morning-- Catch the dog! cried Mrs. Howe. One author flew one way, one

Nought I dread an open field, I can conquer, I can yield, self from foes I can defend, but Heav'n preserve us from our friend! “ she and her chief vice were always making merry together; when their flint and steel struck, the flash was laughter.

evening at the Faneuil Hall meeting held to advocate the revision of our extradition treaty with the Russian Government, which at present seems to allow that government too much latitude of incrimination, whereby political and civil offences can too easily be confused and a revolutionist surrendered as a criminal, which he may or may not be. Later in the month she writes:-- In the early morning I began to feel that I must attempt some sort of tribute to my dear friend of many years, Dr. Holmes, the centenary of whose birth is to be celebrated on Tuesday next. I stayed at home from church to follow some random rhymes which came to me in connection with my remembrance of my ever affectionate friend. I love to think of his beautiful service to his age and to future ages. I fear that my rhymes will fail to crystallize, but sometimes a bad beginning leads to something better....
