Immediately on the arrest of Captain Brown she wrote him a brief letter, asking permission to go and nurse him, as he was wouand's full approval, but decided not to go until she heard from Captain Brown, not knowing what his precise wishes might be. She had heard ththe same considerations of policy in regard to a nurse. Meantime Mrs. Brown was sent for, and promptly arrived; while Captain Brown wrote MrsCaptain Brown wrote Mrs. Child one of his plain and characteristic letters, declining her offer, and asking her kind aid for his family, which was faithfully given.orld and the next.

In sight of six different counties in clear weather, Elizabeth Cady, a child of free winds and flowing brooks, roamed at will, frolicking with lambs, chasing butterflies, or, like Proserpine, gathering flowers, herself a fairer flower. As Hanson Cox, standing under the pine tree at Dartmouth College, and gazing upon the outlying landscape, exclaimed, This is a liberal education! so Elizabeth Cady, in addition to her books, her globes, her water-colors, and her guitar, was an apt pupil

Who will forget,--Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: He is trampling out the vintage where his grapes of wrath are stored: He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; His day is marching on.
