meanor and her power most faithfully to the
world, when he says:

..The warm dark languish Of her eyes,
Was never safe from wrath's surprise,
Brows sanity calm and lips devout
Knew every change of ecowl and pout;
And the sweet voice had notes mere high
And shrill fer social battle cry"
At one time she adopted the garh of her
sex in the Society of Friends, and often ad-
dressed them at their quarterly meetings;
or in various towns and cities of New En-
gland she spoke on the second coming of
Christ.
There was nothing vulgar about her, and
she must not be confounded with those wo-
men whose names and voices in s'social battle
cry" have often been made known to the
public by penny-a-llner clap-trap and litera-
ry quackery. Her whole hearing was that
of a high-born lady who had NO trifing
themes. She was in deep, solemn earnest.
many months they heard of her in Europe,
Asia and Africa.
''Since them what old cathedral town
i Has missed her pilgrim staff and gownG
What convent has held its lock
Against the challenge of her knock 2"
At one time we find her in Egypt, giving
our late consul Mr.. Thayer, world Of trou-
BILE arising from her peculiar notions. At
another time we see her amid the gray olive
slopes of Jerusalem, demanding-not beg
ging-money for the "Great King; and
once when an American, fresh from home
during the late rebellion, offered her in Pal
estine handful of greenbacks, ''she flung
them back to him with disdain, saying: the
Great King will only have gold 7" At one
time, years ago she climbed the sides of
Mount l.ibanus and vissed Lady Hester
Stanhope, that eccentric sister of the young
er Pitt.
One day they went to the stables where
Lady Hester had magnificent collection of
Arabian horses, for it is well known that
lady Hester, amongst her other oddities,
married Scheik of the mountains, and
thus had fine opportunity for securing the
choicest steeds of the Orient. Lady Hester
pointed to Harriet Livermore two very fine
horses with peculiar marks, but differing
from each other in color. ',That one" said
Lady Hester, ''the Great King, when he
comes, will ride, and the other [ will ride in
company with him." Thereupon, Harriet
Livermore gave most emphatic ssNo," and
declared, with fore-knowledge and aplomsb,
that ''the Great King will ride this horse,
and it is who as his bride, will, at his sec
ond coming, ride the other horse" It is
said that she carried her point with Lady
Hester, overpowering her with superior flu
ency and assertion. No wonder Whittier
speaks of her us
"-starng on her desert throne
The crazy Queen of Lebanon,
With claims fantastic as her own"
Between two and three years ago she re-
turned to America, and since that time has
resided in Philadelphia. To the end of herlife,
though more impatient than when younger,
she exhibited those qualities which Whittier
so well described. The poet throws the
mantle of pity over her, nd we all can join
in the conclusion of his admirable sketch of
Harriet Livermore
sit not ours to separate
The tangled sken OF will and fate,
To show what metes and bounds should stand, IS
Upon the souls debatable land
And between choice and Providence
Divide the circle of events.
But He who knows our frame, is Just,
Mercful and compassionate.
And full of sweet assurances,
And hope for all the language is,
That He remembereth we are dust.
