Harriet Martineau as a Woma an.

For my own part, l intensely regret
her avOwal of her latter convictions, if
it were only on account of the false
view that it has generally given of her
character. People began to speak of
her as "hard," "unchristian," "cold,"
ga man in petticoats," etc., whereas no
more gentle, kindly, and, if 1 may say
so, "mOtherly" nature ever existed than
that of Harriet Martineau. She de-
lighted in children, and in the friend
ship of good wives and mothers. One
of her chief virtues, indeed, was
simple domesticity, that gave her a
wonderful charm to those who prefer
true gentlewomen to literary lionesses.
To my mind Harriet Martineau never
seemed to greater advantage than with
her knitting needles in her hands, or,
like ''Sarah Battle of blessed memory,E
playing at the wholesome and athletic
game of "cribbage," which the writer
of these lines had the honor to teach
her. How many time in the summer
nights have l sat with her under the
porch of her beautiful cottage, looking
at the mOonlit mountains and the silver
ROthay, which she loved so well, al
though she never heard its music. at
is all so beautiful" said she, on one oc-
casion, as we looked upon this charm
ing scene, "that 1 am afraid to with
draw my eyes from it, for fear it should
all melt" Her love of the beauties of
nature was intense-as keen as her
sympathy with human wrongs and
struggles. II was when she had first
built her lovely little home at Amble-
side that the incident occurred which [
think l revealed to the American public
years ago-upon no such sad occasion as
the present-hOw, being in want of turf
for her lawn, and unable to procure it,
two caTt-lbads of that rare commodity
were thrown over her wall in the night,
with a few ill-spelled words to the
effect that this was the gift of a poor
poacher who had read her "Forest and
Game-laW Tales" This instance of
gratitude-albeitth the man had probably
stolen the turf to show twas very
dear to her, and moved her both to
tears and laughter; for her sense of hu-
mor-thOugh she always affected not to
possess any, and to regret its absence
was keen enough. Perhaps she enjoyed
nothing so much that arose out of her
literary fame as the letter the school
boy wrote to her when she lay danger
ously i'll, and "The Crofton Boysn re-
malned, in consequence, unfinished:
"MY DEAR Miss MARTINEAU:-I am very
sorry to hear you are so bad. / hope you will
get Wen; but 90 hope, If not, that some of
your family will finish The Crofton Boys"
This notion of hereditary taint of
authorship always tickled her very
heart-strings Payn IN Harpesjs
