Mrs. Hemans.


In the following passage from Miss
Jewsbury's Three Histories. she avow-
edly describes Mrs. Hemans:
Egeria was totally different from
any other woman / had ever seen,
either in Italy or England. She did
not dazzle-she subdued me. Other
women might be more commanding.
more versatile, more acute, but | never
sa Y one so exquisitely feminine. Her
birth, her education, but above all.
the genius with which she was gifted,
combined to INSPIRE passion for the
ethereal, the tender, the imaginative,
the heroic-in one word, the beautiful.
1t was in her faculty divine, and yet
of daily life; it touched all things.
but, like a sunbeam, touched them
with a golden finger.
Anything abstract OF scientific was
unintelligible or aistasteful TO her.
Her knowledge was extensive and va
rious; but true to the first principles Of
her nature, it was poetry that she
sought in history, scenery, character
and religious belicf-poetry that guild
ed all her studies, governed all her
thoughts. colored all her imaginative
conversation. Her nature was at once
simple and profound; there was no
room in her mind for philosophy. nor
in her heart for ambition. The one
was filled by imagination, the other
engrossed by tenderness.
She had a passive temper, but deci-
ded tastes; any one might influence.
but very few impressed her. Her
strength and her weakness lay alike in
her affections; these would sometimes
make her weep, at others imbue her
with courage; so that she was alter
nately "falcon-hearted dove" and
"reed broken with the wind" Her
voice was a sweet, sad melody, and
her spirit reminded me Of an old poets
description Of the orange-tree with its
Golden lamps, hid in a night of green"
or Of those Spanish gardens where the
pomegranate blossoms beside the
cypress. Her gladness was like a
burst of sunlight, and if in her sadness
she rcsembled night, it was night
wearing stars. / might describe and
describe forever, but l should never
succeed in portraying Egeria. She
was Muse, Grace, variable child,
a dependent woman, the Italy of hu-
man beings.
Randolph County journal. [volume] (Winchester, Randolph County, Ind.) 1855-1862, 1858-07-08

A true little girl was Nelly Dawson;
this was seen in her face; for
Thought nor feeling that's not true,
Ne'er made less beautiful the blue,
Unclouded heaven Of her eyes"
She was accustomed to speak the
eract truth, for she had been taught to
do SO. Her parents did not rely upon
nature to give her sincerity. any more
than to give wheat to their fields. or
roses to surround their house. Her
mother did not deem it enough TO
insure good children to let them alone.
and forbcar to plant evil; she well
knew that good must be planted sea-
sonably, and nourished with tender
vigilance.
When Nelly was very little. she
came one day, with very sad face, TO
her mother, saying. Mother, I'm
afraid I've told lie."
why do you think SO, my dear??'
asked her mother.
Because" said she, when Fanny
asked me If there were any pears under
the big tree, told her no; but when
Nora went out to get some for tea, i
went with her. and we found two
beautiful ones on the ground"
They might have fallen after YOU
were there"
Il guess they were there then. for
they were under the leaves Of the cur
rant bush, and shouldn't have seen
them if it hadn't been for Nora. Was
it not wrong for me to say there were
none there?"
Yes. it was wrong for you to say
certainly there were none there; you
should have said you thought there
were none; but it was not lie unless
You wished to deceive her."
IL am very glad. then; but am
sorry to make mistakes; | suppose il
is not quite right to make mistakes.
is it?"
Not to make them carclessly; and
it is very wrong to have q positive
hapit; way of thinking that we can
not be mistaken.
Thus, with the fear Of fAlsehood as
7 the greatest Of evils. Nelly's soul
became that delightful spectacle. a
mirror Of truth: no crooked indirect.
