THE LATE Mas. HEMANs. AS child Mrs.
Hemans was an object of almost devotion, for
her extreme beauty; her complexion was
remarkably brilliant; her hair long, curling,
and golden. In the latter years of her life its
hue dccpencd into brown, but it remained
siken and profsse, and wavy, to the last
She was one Of those, too, who may be said
to be born and nurtured in the midst of proph-
ecics. Who can tell how little or much i'm

may make upon one so sensitive? One lady
incautious!y observing, in her hearing, "That
child is not made for happiness, know; her
color comes and goes too fast" She never
forgot this remark, and would mention it as
having caused her much pain at the time
when it wcs spoken.
