lonqfellow's Romance.

Before leaving Europe in 1888 Long
fellow had met, very much as described
IN Hyperion, the lady who was destined
to be his second wife, then Miss Fanny
Appleton, daughter of the late Nathan
Appleton of Boston, and sister Of Mr..
Thomas Gold Appleton, the well-known
author and art critic of that city.
"Those who can recall the second Mrs.
Longfellow will never forget her distin-
guished and noble presence, or the beau.
ty Of those deep, unutterable eyes," the
poet sang, writes friend OF the poets in
the n. Y. Post. 1t is known that his
suit was not at first acceptable to her,
and that she was not entirely gratified at
being the recognized theme of a romance
so highly wrought. There certainly
was some reluctant delay about the mat
ter, as the romance was published in
1889, aid it was not until July, lS4S,
that the second marriage OF Mr.. Longfel-
low took place. 1t was to him source
of most unmingled happiness for many
years, ending at last in tragedy as in
tense and concentrated rs ever poet
dreamed. On July 8, 1861, his idolized
wife was burned to death in his very
presence, by her clothes taking fra in
spite Of all efforts to extinguish the
flames. The shock to Mr.. Lppgfellow
vas so great that for some time in seem
cd as if reason itself was iu danger; and
though he came gradually back TO his
accustomed life and pursuits, he seemed
thenceforth an old man. Yet he turned
again to his work and there was hardly
an abatement to his activity until within
three months Of his death.

College Incidents.


A few years ago one Of the students at
Bowdoin College bore the euphonious
title of "Spud." He was fine scholar,
and after graduation was chosen an in
structor in the college. OF course, his
student name still clings to him. He
knew it and didn't like it. He was very
digni6ed and his professional chair did
not diminish the gravity of his demean-
or. One day some boys playing ball
near the door of recitation room in
which "Spud was conducting Latin
exercise, annoyed the expounder Of sub
iectives and the intricacies of indirect
discourse, and calling a sophrnore to
him, he said: "Please go to the door,
Mr.. A. and say tothose players that l de-
sirethem to cease their play or make less
noise" A. went to the door, stuck his
head out and shouted in stentorian tones:
Here, you fellows! Spud says to dry
upw Another professor in the same
college bore the nickname "Kaigar, !"
from two common Greek words. In fact
very few professors in any American col
lege escape familiar or opprobrious
nicknames an the hands of the students.
One of the happiest hits of this sort was
at the expense Of certain Yale profess
sor who was called "Old Spondee, IA
