THE WIFE OF HENRY WILSON.

Mrs. Wilson, whose maiden name was
Harriet NJ. Howe. died in May. 1870.
She was lady of unusual mental and
personal attractions. At the time of
her death Mrs. Mary Clemmer Ames
thus wrote:
within the last week the body of
one has been laid in her native earth,
whose lovely presence viii long be miss
ed in Washington. Mrs. Wilson. the
wife Of Senator Wilson, went out from
among US in the fair May days, and the
places which have known her so long

in memory, no more forever. She was

lives beyond the need of all human

and larger opportu nifty, are we in no
danger of losing sight Of those graces Of
the spirit. which, however exalted her
fate, must remain to the end the su-
preme charm Of woman. There is moth

Christian woman /; as she that has re-
ceiyed into her heart, till it shines forth
in her character and life. the love of the
divine Master.
Such woman was Mrs. Wilson In
this gay capital When great sorrow
fell upon her, and ceaseless suffering
the light from the heavenly places fell
upon her face /; with an angel patience
and child-like smile. and an unfalter
ing faith, she went down into the val.
