the vitriol was thrown. Some friends stand

that they saw an old lady lean out OF the
third story window, as il watching the effect
of the deadly shower. The two families are
not acquainted, and no trouble of any kind
has occurre between them.

1t is nearly forty years since Margaret
Fuller, writing in the New York Tribune,
startled the properties of Boston by some
sharp criticisms On Longfellow and Lowell,
then in the first flush of their fame. She
declared Lowelfs early poems to be crude
and initiative, and those of Longfellow to
be, in great degree, "exotic." Each poet
met the charge in his own way-Lowell with
brilliant sarcasm, and Longfellow with good
natured indifference. Public sympathy
went with them; but we can now see, at this
distance OF scene, how each prohted by these
criticisms. Lowell dropped from his col
lected works the greater part OF his early
poems and LopgfellOw soon achieved his
greatest successes By boldly drawing strength
from his own soil.
