Mr. Brooks, the foremost of German translators, with his Teutonic themes; the agricultural Waring with his potatoes ; Harte on Pacific women; Parton with his New York aldermen, and I myself with two recent papers mingled in one,--I ventured to remonstrate. They will not write these Commencement orations, I saignity of the occasion, and the Societas Urbanoruralis, or Town and Country Club, proved equal to the occasion. An essay on rhinosophy was given by Fanny Fern (Mrs. Parton), which was illustrated on the blackboard by this equation, written slowly by Mrs. Howe and read impressively:-- Nose + nose + nose = proboscis Nose — nose —

But there was also Lucy Stone, who had long been the object of imaginary disapproval; and yet Mrs. Howe, like every one else who heard Lucy Stone's sweet voice for the first time, was charmed and half won by it. I remember the same experience at a New York meeting in the case of Helen Hunt, who went to such a meeting on purpose to write a satirical letter about it for the New York Tribune, but said to me, as we came out together, Do you suppose I could ever write a word against anything which that woman wishes to have done? Such was the influence of that first meeting on Mrs. Howe. When they requested me to speak, she says, I could only say, I am with you. I have been with them ever since, and have never seen any reason to go back from the pledge then given. She adds that

rlors only. In the same way she was gradually led into the wider sphere of women's congresses, and at last into the presidency of the woman's department at the great World's Fair at New Orleans, in the winter of 1883-84, at which she presided with great ability, organizing a series of short talks on the exhibits, to be given by experts. While in charge of this, she held a special meeting in the colored people's department, where the Battle hymn was sung, and she spoke to them of Garrison, Sumner, and Dr. Howe. Her daughter's collection of books written by women was presented to the Ladies' Art Association of New Orleans, and her whole enterprise was a singular triumph. In dealing with public enterprises in all parts of the country she soon made herself welcome everywhere. And yet this was the very woman who had written in the Salutatory of her first volume of poems:-- I was born 'neath a clouded star, More in shadow than light have grown; Loving souls are not like trees That s
