poets Of her sex. Her dialogue is formed
on the Shaksperian model.and she has sue

In 1923 Miss Baillie published collec-

Though Miss Bailiie's fame always tended
to draw her into society, her life was pass

which showed that poetical genius OF a

Henry w. Longf..,ow, the Poet.

The Dublin University Magazine in
review Of Mr.. Longfellow's works, says:-
with Hyperion the public have been
for some time familiar; but il is not general.
ly known that in this exquisite lir;lc story
are shadowed forth the leading incidents
Of the poets life, and that he himself is the
hero of his own romance. We shall give
the facts as they have come to our knowl-
edge, and we are assured they viii not fail
to interest our readers.
about the year 1887, Lopgfcllow being
engaged in making the tour Of Europe. sc
lected Heidelberg, for permanent winter
residence. There lis wife was attacked
with all illness which ultimately proved
fatal. tso happened, however, that some
time afterwards there came to the same ro-
mantle place young lady of considerable
personal attractions. The poets heart vas
touched he became attached to her; but
the beauty OF sixteen did not sympathize
with the poet Of SIX and thirty; and Long
fellow returned to America, having lost lis
wife. The young lady was also an Anne
rican, returned home shortly aitcwards.-
Their residences, il turned out, were CON
tiguous, and the poet availcd himself Of the
opportunity of prosecuting his addresses,
which he did for a considerable time with
no better success than at first. Thus foil
cd, he set himself down, and instead, ike
Petrarch, of laying scige to the heart Of his
mistress through the medium Of sonncts
he resolved to write whole book--abook
which achieve the double object Of gaining
her affections, and Of establishing lis own
fame. Hyperion was tie result. His la
bors and his consiancy were not thrown
away-ihcy met their due reward. The
lady gave him her hand as well as her heart;
and they now reside together at Cam
bridge, in the same house which Washing
ton made bis head quarters when he was
first appointed to the Command Of the
American armies. These interesting facts
were communicated to US by a very iutelli-
gent American gentleman whom we had
the pleasure Of meeting in the same place
which was the scene Of the poets early dis.
appointment and gorrows."
