and florid. The life of actual labor combined with his intellectual pursuits had strengthened his body, improved his eyesight, and increased his confidence in himself, and this was of the first importance to him at least. The Harbinger was published for about two years, beginning in June, 1845. It was edited mainly by Dr. Ripley; but in this as in everything else Dana seems to have been his principal assistant and understudy. It was issued both in Boston and New York, and while Curtis, Cranch, Lowell, Dwight, Osborne Macdaniel, and many others, were regular or occasional writers, Dana was evidently the principal one. In the first three volumes his activity is particularly noticeable. He wrote editorials, essays, book reviews, poems, and bright, clever notes on many subjects. To the fourth volume, published mostly after Dana had married and removed to New York, he also appears as a contributor, but his articles were necessarily less numerous. In his earlier contributions he fr

idealist and dreamer was laying down his illusions and taking up the methods of a practical business-man. He was then, and remained throughout his life, devoted to idealism, poetry, and romance, but never after that time did he allow either to lead him away from the practical duties of the hour. It is worthy of passing notice that Dana for a part of this period also kept a book of quotations which abounds in extracts from Coleridge, Longfellow, Wordsworth, Carlyle, Motherwell, Cousin, Considerant, Fourier, Schiller, Goethe, Spinoza, Heine, Herman, Kepler, Bruno, Novalis, Bohme, Swedenborg, Virgil, Horace, Cicero, Thucydides, Euripides, and Sallust. It is still more worthy of notice that they were made always in the script and language in which they were written, whether it was English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Latin, or Greek. These extracts consist of lofty thoughts and sentiments, which necessarily touched responsive chords in his own soul, or els

d his treatment of it in his disquisitions upon the scope and advantages of Universal Association, as found in various numbers of the Harbinger. In a review of Downing's Fruit and Fruit Trees of America, he reached a conclusion to which but few people of the present day will object. It runs as follows: There are many in the list of gentlemen whose aid he (Downing) acknowledges which bring before us golden and purple recollections, visions of fruits which in themselves are arguments enough against the doctrine that the earth is accursed and the mother of no good thing. If any man believe that social harmony is impossible we will agree to silence his most obstinate assertions with some of the pears named in Mr. Downing's catalogue. No one whose soul such flavors had ever approached could refuse to assent to the most glowing anticipations of the Future of Mankind. In another article he condemned Poe's Tales, then attracting wide attention, as clumsily contrived, unnatural

In 1844 he wrote a touching tribute of sixteen lines to his friend Robert Bartlett, who had been reported as dead, also another to Edelfrida. Throughout the year 1845 his muse seems to have been more prolific, for he published in the Harbinger Auf Wiedlersehen, which was followed by a hymn, Les attractions sont Proportiotants- We greet them still as most unwelcome guests, Answering their smile with hateful looks askance, Their sacred speech with foolish, bitter jests: But oh! what is it to imperial Jove That this poor world refuses all his love? To R. B. Robert Bartlett. Beloved friend! they say that thou are dead, Nor shall our asking eyes behold thee more, Save in the company of the fair and dread, Along the radiant and immortal shore, Whither thy face was turned for evermore, Thou wert a pilgrim towards

fourteen lines on Eternity. The next year he wrote for the same paper Manfulness and Via Sacra. In 1844 he wrote a touching tribute of sixteen lines to his friend Robert Bartlett, who had been reported as dead, also another to Edelfrida. Throughout the year 1845 his muse seems to have been more prolific, for he published in the Harbinger Auf Wiedlersehen, which was followed by a hymn, Les attractions sont Proportionelle aux Destines after Novalis, Ad Arma, The Secret (from the German of Seidl), The beauty of the earth (from the German of Ruchert), Mutual longing (from the German of Heine), To the Moon (from the German of Holty). The next year, 1846, he published the Bankrupt, Erotis, Patience (from the German of Spitta), The question (from the German of Heine), and Memnon. Of these Erotis is the longest and Memnon the best. Those of the last two years were all published in the Harbinger, from which they obtained some circulation, but I cannot learn that any of them outlived the

w they like us and we shall like them, and then, if all is right, become one, or rather two, of us. It is decided to receive them for three months at three dollars a week, etc. I shall write them to that effect to-morrow or next day. Pray find them out and open to them our Scripture, as you did to Greeley. They ask me to address them care of George Curtis, Bank of Commerce, New York. You can soon see whether they are of us and should be with us. I am glad you had the talk you did with Mrs. Child; to be sure, we can see no way open just now by which they could join us this month or the next month, or the month after, but I cannot give up the inner faith that all who truly belong with us will find their way here, as surely as the wild duck finds the south in winter, and no want of externals can prevent it. We are in a prosperous state enough now, exteriorly, I fancy; perhaps too much so. I almost dread the effect of being allowed not to struggle with poverty and other hardships: and

n every consideration to which he thought they were entitled, as they were found among his personal effects clearly transcribed, and done up ready for the printer, but several of them had been carefully crossed out with the blue pencil from the pages on which they were copied at the date of their production. It is proper to say, however, that in 1885 Mr. Dana himself selected three of these early poems to appear in a volume entitled Representative Poems of Living Poets, compiled by Miss Jeannette L. Gilder, and published in 1886. Mr. Dana's selections were Eternity, Herzliebste, and Manfulness. As fair specimens of the whole, I call attention to the three which follow: Via Sacra Slowly along the crowded street I go, Marking with reverent look each passer's face, Seeking, and not in vain, in each to trace That primal soul whereof he is the show.
