ays in her Reminiscences : In the days of which I now write, it was borne in upon me (as the Friends say) that I had much to say to my day and generation which could not and should not be communicated in rhyme, or even in rhythm. The character of the message, too, was changing. In the anguish of bereavement she sought relief in study, her lifelong resource. Religion and philosophy went hand in hand with her. She read Spinoza eagerly: read Fichte, Hegel, Schelling; finally, found in Immanuel Kant a prophet and a friend. But it was not enough for her to receive; she must also give out: her nature was radiant. She must formulate a philosophy of her own, and must at least offer it to the world. In September, 1863, she writes to her sister Louisa, My Ethics are now the joke of my family, and Flossy or any child, wishing a second helping, will say: Is it ethical, Mamma? Too much of my life, indeed, runs in this channel. I can only hope that the things I write may do good to som

During the days that followed, Kant and charades divided her time pretty evenly. Kant's AnthKant's Anthropologia is rather trifling, after his great works. I read it to find out what Anthropology is. Good is a direction; vio is no judge. The Journal is now largely concerned with Kant, and with Maine's work on Ancient law, from which she quotesummer of arduous work. The Tribune demanded more letters; Kant and Maine could not be neglected, and soon Fichte was addedth the purest intention he is much less of an ethicist than Kant.

the scene of horror. The excellent wife had too much coolness to allow this opportunity of making money to escape her, but collected from every person present one dollar for window rent. Berliner Fremdenblatt, Sunday, August 26, 1877. The stab was from a two-edged sword; she loved profoundly the great German writers and composers. She was ever conscious of the debt she owed to Germany's poets, philosophers, and musicians. Goethe had been one of her earliest sources of inspiration, Kant her guide through many troublous years; Beethoven was like some great friend whose hand had led her along the heights, when her feet were bleeding from the stones of the valley. These were the Germans she knew; her Germany was theirs. Now she came in contact with this new Junker Germany, this harsh, military, unlovely country where Bismarck was the ruling spirit, and Von Moltke the idol of the hour. It was a rough awakening for one who had lived in the gentler Fatherland of Schiller and o

Edward Everett Hale sat near me and talked with me from time to time. Of course my speech afflicted me. I got through it, however, but had to lose the other speeches, the hour being so late and the night so inclement, very rainy. February 20. Very lame this morning. No courage to try to go out.

Mr. Longfellow came to see us yesterday, and told us his curious dreams. In one of them, he went to London and found James Russell Lowell keeping a grocery.
