an patriots. By what miracle, she asked herself long afterward, was the great structure overthrown? She adds, The remembrance of this miracle forbids me to despair of any great deliverance, desired and delayed. He who maketh the wrath of men to serve Him, can make liberty blossom out of the very rod that the tyrant [wields]. Southward still they journeyed, by vettura, in the old leisurely fashion, and came at last to Rome. The thrill of wonder that Julia felt at the first sight of St. Peter's dome across the Campagna was one of the abiding impressions of her life; Rome was to be one of the cities of her heart; the charm was cast upon her in that first moment. Yet she says of that Rome of 1843, A great gloom and silence hung over it. The houses were cold, and there were few conveniences; but Christmas found the Howes established in the Via San Niccolo da Tolentino, as comfortably as might be. Here they were joined by Louisa Ward, and here they soon gathered round them a de

ome large and stately manceuvre, indicating their possession of all this space. It was Holy Week when they arrived in Rome, and she was anxious that the neophytes should see as much as possible of its impressive ceremonies. She took them to St. Peter's to see the washing of the pilgrims' feet by noble Roman ladies, and to hear the Miserere in the Sistine Chapel. These functions are briefly chronicled in the Journal and more fully in From the Oak to the Olive. Solid fact as the performan of a doubt. We must except, however, our countrywomen from dear Boston, who were not seen otherwise than decently and in order. A vivid description follows of the ceremonies of Good Friday and Easter Sunday, ending with the illumination of St. Peter's. A magical and unique spectacle it certainly is, with the well-known change from the paper lanterns to the flaring lampions. Costly is it of human labor, and perilous to human life. And when I remembered that those employed in it receive

at can I do? she asked. The answer was ready. The New England Woman Suffrage Association was formed, and she was elected its first president. This office she held, with some interruptions, through life. It is well to recall the patient, faithful work of the pioneer suffragists, who, without money or prestige, spent themselves for the cause. Their efforts, compared to the well-organized and well-financed campaigns of to-day, are as a certain upper chamber compared with the basilica of St. Peter, yet it was in that quiet room that the tongues of Pentecost spoke. I am glad, she often said, to have joined the suffrage movement, because it has brought me into such high company. The convert buckled to her new task with all her might, working for it early and late with an ardor that counted no cost. Oh! dear Mrs. Howe, you are sofull of inspiration cried a foolish woman. It enables you to do so much! Inspiration! said dear Mrs. Howe, shortly. Inspiration means perspirati

They say that a parricide was buried beneath this stone, and the fingers of his hand forced themselves through these holes. They showed us this hand, dried, and hung up in a chapel. Here also we saw a piece of embroidery in fine pearls, formerly belo
