ry pleasant day, we left with regret the warmth of this hospitable circle, thus breaking one more of the links that bind us to the English shore. Nine o'clock in the evening found us sitting by a cheerful fire in the parlor of Mr. E. Baines at Leeds. The next day the house was filled with company, and the Leeds offering was presented. Tuesday we parted from our excellent friends in Leeds, and soon found ourselves once more in the beautiful Dingle, our first and last resting-place on EnglLeeds, and soon found ourselves once more in the beautiful Dingle, our first and last resting-place on English shores. A deputation from Belfast, Ireland, here met me, presenting a beautiful bog-oak casket, lined with gold, and carved with appropriate national symbols, containing an offering for the cause of the oppressed. They read a beautiful address, and touched upon the importance of inspiring with the principles of emancipation the Irish nation, whose influence in our land is becoming so great. Had time and strength permitted, it had been my purpose to visit Ireland, to revisit Scotland,

Had I been in more favorable circumstances, I should have hailed an opportunity of paying public honor to such a man as Mr. Garrison. I remain, Sir, your faithful servant, W. E. Gladstone. The Leeds meeting occurred on the 21st of October, and celebrated, by this happy coincidence, the anniversary of the Boston Mob. Edward Baines, M. P. for Leeds, presided at the reception in that city, where Mr. Garrison was the guest of his old friend, Joseph Lupton. Between Birmingham and Leeds a night was spent at Stratford-on-Avon, by invitation of Mr. E. F. Flower, well known to Americans for his everready hospitality, and for his successful efforts while Mayor to preserve and restore Shakespeare's birthplace. Hardly less than his pardonable satisfaction over this achievement was his pride in the exploits of his earlier years, when, as a youth

Joseph Lupton, and to be near George Thompson; for, in the ten years since they had last met, Mr. Thompson had taken up his residence in Leeds, and was now hopelessly shattered in health and barely able to walk. The meeting between the old friends was most affecting, the invalid dropping his head on Mr. Garrison's shoulder as he embraced him, too overcome for speech. Indeed, paralysis had so far affected his utterance that conversation was diffhe last fervent embrace, and watched his retreating form till it was out of sight. This was the only sorrowful experience in Mr. Garrison's English visit. From Leeds he made delightful excursions to Bolton Abbey and Wharfedale, to Ripon July 10. and Fountains Abbey, and to Scarborough, where he saw July 13, 1877. a typical E

He never married, and was succeeded in the peerage by his brother, William George. In 1841-1842, he travelled in the United States, and gave his views of the country in a lecture, delivered at Leeds, Dec. 5, 1850, in which he said of Sumner: I do not give up the notion of his becoming one of the historical men of his country. this visit is referred to in life of Lord Denman, Vol. II. p. 115. in 1854, he published a diary in Turkish and Greek waters. he was warmly attached to Sumner, followed his career with great interest, and remembered him in his will by some token of affection.

He was Morpeth's escort and friend in Boston,—introducing him to the people whom he wished to know, and taking him to places and meetings of interest (among which was the Anti-slavery Fair). He gave him a dinner at the Tremont House, where Story, Prescott, Bancroft, Ticknor, Choate, Hillard, Felton, and Longfellow were among the guests; and was present on similar occasions when Morpeth was entertained by Story, Prescott, and Longfellow. The Earl of Carlisle (Lord Morpeth), in a lecture at Leeds, Dec. 6, 1850, thus referred to Sumner: The residence here [Boston] was rendered peculiarly agreeable to me by a friendship with one of its inhabitants, which I had previously made in England. He hardly yet comes within my rule of exception; but I do not give up the notion of his becoming one of the historical men of the country. However, it is quite open to me to mention some of those with whom, mainly through his introduction, I became acquainted. Those mentioned are Story, Channing, Al

ught God's battles here have been so taught to know where the strength is which is to win the fight? God bless you through it all, dear Mr. Sumner! He knows how hard it is for you,—harder for your friends, perhaps,—that you should stand and wait, and suffer, alas too. The Earl of Carlisle wrote, Feb. 8, 1859:— My dearest friend,—I received with delight your kind words on their errand of friendship and sympathy. When I made the speech Address before the Antislavery Society at Leeds. to which you refer you were certainly very prominently before my mind, and I think I must have had some unconscious instinct that you might see what I had said. I was very much pleased on the same occasion to make my first acquaintance with your friend Mr. Forster, for whose roof, I believe, you left Mine, or vice versa, when you were last in England. I was much struck with his straightforward grasp of mind. I went to see Harriet Martineau in the autumn, chiefly because you told me to d
