n And counsel, equal to his place. With glance intuitive he saw Through all disguise of form and law, And read men like an open book; Fearless and firm, he never quailed Nor turned aside for threats, nor failed To do the thing he undertook. How wise, how brave, he was, how well He bore himself, let history tell While waves our flag o'er land and sea, No black thread in its warp or weft; He found dissevered States, he left A grateful Nation, strong and free! The poet and the children. Longfellow. with a glory of winter sunshine Over his locks of gray, In the old historic mansion He sat on his last birthday; With his books and his pleasant pictures, And his household and his kin, While a sound as of myriads singing From far and near stole in. It came from his own fair city, From the prairie's boundless plain, From the Golden Gate of sunset, And the cedarn woods of Maine. And his heart grew warm within him, And his moistening eyes grew dim, For he knew that his country's childr

medal in her hand, and sent that in lieu of her autograph. In a recent letter dictated at Walsingham, where Abigail Becker now lives,—a widow, cultivating with her own hands her little farm in the wilderness,—she speaks gratefully of the past and hopefully of the future. She mentions a message received from Captain Hackett, who she feared had almost forgotten her, that he was about to make her a visit, adding with a touch of shrewdness: After his second shipwreck last summer, I think likely that I must have recurred very fresh to him. The strong lake winds now blow unchecked over the sand-hills where once stood the board shanty of Abigail Becker. But the summer tourist of the great lakes, who remembers her story, will not fail to give her a place in his imagination with Perry's battle-line and the Indian heroines of Cooper and Longfellow. Through her the desolate island of Long Point is richly dowered with the interest which a brave and generous action gives to its locali

The gift of the Westminster Abbey committee cannot fail to add another strong tie of sympathy between two great English-speaking peoples. And never was gift more fitly bestowed.

Criticism Evangeline A review of Mr. Longfellow's poem. Eureka! Here, then, we have it at last,—an American poem, with the lack of which British reviewers have so long reproached us. Selecting the subject of all others best calculated for his purpose, --the expulsion of the French settlers of Acadie from their quiet and pld it been told in the poetic prose of the author's Hyperion. In reading it and admiring its strange melody we were not without fears that the success of Professor Longfellow in this novel experiment might prove the occasion of calling out a host of awkward imitators, leading us over weary wastes of hexameters, enlivened neitherwith some force a single objection, which we are induced to notice, as it is one not unlikely to present itself to the minds of other readers:— We think Mr. Longfellow ought to have expressed a much deeper indignation at the base, knavish, and heartless conduct of the English and Colonial persecutors than he has done.

just crossed. . . . Come quei che, con lena affannata, Uscito fuor del pelago alla riva Si volge alla acqua perigliosa, e guata; Cosi l'animo mio, cha ancor fuggiva, Si volse 'ndietro a rimirar lo passo Che no lascio giammai persona viva. . . . . As he, who, with distressful breath, Forth issued from the sea upon the shore, Turns to the water perilous and gazes; So did my soul that still was fleeing onward, Turn itself back to re-behold the pass Which never yet a living person left. Longfellow's Translation. The people of the Northern States in the early days of July, 1863, could thus cast a long retrospective look at the experiences which they had just encountered, like the shipwrecked voyager who, landing upon the shore, turns to glance at the angry billows which break impotent at his feet. The events which closely followed the twofold victory at Gettysburg and Vicksburg enabled the North to take in the whole extent of the misfortunes that would have befallen them if Lee had

all the infinite paths of the ocean. Nay, more! As reason and the constitution are avowed to be paramount to the power of the British parliament, America becomes conscious of a life of her own. She sees in dim outlines along the future the vision of her own independence, with freedom of commerce and self-imposed laws. Her understanding is not yet enlightened and convinced, but her sentiments are just. Not from the intellect, Out of the heart, Rises the bright ideal of that dream. Longfellow's Spanish Student. The old members of the Superior Court, after hearing the arguments of Thacher and Otis, the friends to liberty, inclined to their side. But I, said the ambitious Hutchinson, who never grew weary of recalling to the British ministry this claim to favor, I prevailed with my brethren to continue the cause till the next term, and in the mean time wrote to England. The answer came; and the subservient court, obeying authority, and disregarding law, granted writs of ass

t part in the recollections of those who, like me, remember them in the heyday of their prosperity. They furnished the favorite playgrounds of the boys, and we were never tired of watching the growth of a vessel from the time the keel was laid and the frames uplifted, till the last touch of the ship-joiners was put upon the cabins and state-rooms. The busy scene was always picturesque, and the multifarious processes of construction to the last degree interesting. We might have said with Longfellow, had his lines been written at that time: Ah! what a wondrous thing it is To note how many wheels of toil One thought, one word, can set in motion: There's not a ship that sails the ocean But every climate, every soil, Must bring its tribute, great or small, And help to build the wooden wall! The schools were sometimes given half-holidays when a great ship was to be launched. It was thus I witnessed the launch of the St. Petersburg, built by Mr. Magoun, in 1839. It was a ship of 82
