Lydia Maria Child, Letters of Lydia Maria Child (ed. John Greenleaf Whittier, Wendell Phillips, Harriet Winslow Sewall), To Mrs. S. B. Russell. (search)
To Mrs. S. B. Russell. Wayland, May 24, 1878. Thanks for your affectionate, cheerful letter. I am as pleased as a child with a new (loll, to think you liked my little book Aspirations of the world. A Chain of Opals. Collected, with an Introduction, by L. Maria Child. Boston, 1878. entirely. In this secluded place, where people take little or no interest in anything, I love no means of knowing what effect the book produces. My motive was good, and I tried to write in a candid and kindly spirit. I leave it to its fate, merely hoping that it may do somewhat to enlarge the bands of human brotherhood. Personally I have never expected any advantage from the publication of it. If it pays its own expenses I shall be satisfied. It would mortify me to have the publishers incur debt by it. It is wonderful how shy even liberal ministers generally are about trusting people with the plain truth concerning their religion. They want to veil it in a supernatural haze. They are very

eard, accompanied by the exclamation, he's gone! Then such a thundering stampede as there was down the front stairs I have never heard. We remained in the hall, and presently Samuel J. May came to us so agitated that he was pale to the very lips. Thank God, he is saved! He exclaimed; and we wrung his hand with hearts too full for speech. The Boston newspaper press, as usual, presented a united front in sympathy with the slave-holders. They were full of indignation against the impudent Englishman who dared to suggest to enlightened Americans that there was a contradiction between their slave-laws and the Declaration of Independence. The Boston Post, preeminent in that sort of advocacy of democratic dignity, was very facetious about the cowardly Englishman and his female militia. But they were all in the dark concerning the manner of his escape ; for as the door behind the curtain was known to very few, it remained a mystery to all except the abolitionists. L. Maria Child.

very attentive. It is a great blessing, also, that my general health has been and is extremely good .. Some of my poor neighbors have been in trouble owing to protracted illness, and I shall make up to them the days when they have not been able to work. The worthy young man who comes here to sleep needs some help about learning a trade, and I am going to give him a lift. Divers other projects I have in my mind, and I expect to accomplish them all by the help of Aladdin's lamp. Oh, it is such a luxury to be able to give without being afraid. I try not to be Quixotic, but I want to rain down blessings on all the world, in token of thankfulness for the blessings that have been rained down upon me. I should dearly love to look in upon you at Newport, as you kindly suggest, but it is impossible. I once made a short visit to Dr. Channing there, and the loveliness of the scenery made an abiding impression on my memory. Your most grateful and loving old friend, L. Maria Child.

Appendix. Remarks of Wendell Phillips at the funeral of Lydia Maria Child, October 23, 1880. Mrs. Child's character was one of rare Mrs. Child's character was one of rare elements, and their combination in one person rarer still. She was the outgrowth of New England theology, traditions, and habits -the finest she bore it almost till life's close! In religious speculation Mrs. Child moved in the very van. Her studies and friendships were with the rrowness among free religionists than among their opponents. But Mrs. Child in her many-sidedness did not merely bear with other creeds; she n it saps independence and shuts up the over-careful hand. But Mrs. Child's prudence never held back one needed bold word, and was only to more than she could do to wisely distribute her income, and that Mrs. Child could and should help her in that, it was like her also to change on a whole sheet when half a one would suffice. I do not think, Mrs. Child, you can afford to give so much just now, I said to her once, whe
