while. This continued for a day or two longer, till she felt well enough to sit up for nearly an hour. And then she was seized with a violent rheumatism, and again took to her bed from which she never more arose. During all this she was very patient, and generally cheerful, thoa at times her courage fainted and she thought that she should not recover,— wishing only that she could see her friends at home once more before she died. At such moments she loved to repeat these lines [by Andrews Norton], which seemed to soothe her feelings:— Father! I thank thee! may no thought E'er deem thy chastisements severe. But may this heart, by sorrow taught, Calm each wild wish, each idle fear. On Sunday, the 22nd, all her pain had left her, and she said she had not felt so well during her sickness. On this day, too, we received a letter from Margaret, which gave her great pleasure, and renovated her spirits very much. But still from day to day she gained no strength. In this situati

Sumner writes from England to Longfellow that the Hon. Mrs. Norton, herself well known in literature, had read Evangeline, not once only, but twenty times, and the scene on Lake Atchafalaya, where the two lovers pass each other

of all this joint effort at constructing a version of this great world-poem, that one of the two original delegates, Professor Norton, should ultimately have published a prose translation of his own. It is also to be observed that Professor Norton, iProfessor Norton, in the original preface to his version, while praising several other translators, does not so much as mention the name of Longfellow; and in his list of Aids to the Study of the Divine Comedy speaks only of Longfellow's notes and illustrations, whichry the test yet farther, let us compare the three lines, in their two successive versions, with the prose version of Professor Norton, which reads as follows: I have seen ere now at the beginning of the day the eastern region all rosy, while the resr fair serene, of which two phrases the first seems the better, for reasons already given. On the whole, if we take Professor Norton's prose translation as the standard, Longfellow's later version seems to me to gain scarcely anything upon the earli
