EARLY in the afternoon the firing sud-
denly ceases in front of the brigade. It
slackens on the right. A finely formed
Federal officer steps boldly to the front.
The Carolinians cease firing. Rumors
are rife as to the object of his visit. The
general impression seems to be that the
Federsls want to surrender. The wish
is certainly father to the thought. He
asks for the officer in command. Col.
Brown tells him that it is his pride and
privilege to be in command Of the brig

the nature of his mission. why, am

Longfellow' first wife was Miss Potter
q lady of the most winning sweetness Of
manner, and possessing q combination
of womanly graces that made the very
ideal of poets bride. Sine died four
years after marriage. It was in reference
to her quiet movements in life that he
wrote, after her death:
With a slow aua noiseless foostep
Comes that messenger divine.
Takes the vacant cher beside me,
Lays her gentle hand In mine.
Aud she sits and gazes at me
With those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars SO still and saint like
Looking downward from the skies.
Healing comes with time to wounds
that are all but mortal. God has, with
tender mercies, implanted that in our
nature which enable us to renew, with a
chastenea joy. all pure affections and all
legitimate ties. The love that came to
bless Longfellow's maturer years, and
which made the prime of his life such a
delight that even his poetic Imagination
could conceive of no higher earthly
bliss, sprang up in a heart enriched by
the experience of his first great sorrow,
under whose burden all hope, and even
the capacity for happiness, had seemed
to die. Of Longfellow's second wife,
Miss Howard gossips as follows in the
Providence Star:
Almost every one knows that the
Frances Elizabeth Appleton, who be-
came his wife eight years after his first
bereavement, and who was the mother of
six children, was the Mary Ashburton of
Hyperion" have said six children
advisedly, although only five are living,
and that number is always given when
speaking of the family. But the poet
never forgot his infant daughter, whose
early death suggested the beautiful poem
of Resignation" through which his
ownfaith, beholding her as
fair maiden in her Fathers ms nsion
Clothed with celestial grace.
Has carried comfort to countless sorrow
ing homes, bidding mourning parents
look away from the grave to that heav-
euly SCHOOL"
Where Christ himself doth rule.
It is said that Mrs. Longfellow was the
original of the well-known and popular
picture of the youthful "Evangeline,"
and the resemblance was SO striking that
those who have seen the picture have
seen Mrs. Longfellow as she must
have looked when the. ardent
love of thirty five sued long,
and with final success, for her.
hand. did not know Mr.. Longfellow
personally at the time, but I saw him
and his wife together every Sunday dur
ing the year before her tragical death at
Appleton chapel, in Cambridge, where
they were constant attendants. I never
saw Mrs. Longfellow without strong
impression of her likeness to "Evange-
line" Her low, broad brow, over
Swallowed by the masses of dark hair
which seemed to frame the whole face,
was repeated in the picture, and there
were the same large eyes, the deep eyes
that did not twinkle, of which the poet
wrote in Hyperion" p
The second Mrs. Longfellow was
tall and stately brunette, and her style
of beauty permitted ner wearing delicate
shades Of colors that would have ap-
peared very greatly out of place or in
congruous with others.

Recently Mr.. P. T. Barnum gave to his
native village, Bethel, Conn, bronze
fountain costing $4,000. At the pre-
sentation Mr.. Barnum described with
rare facility the manner of living to
which he was born. He said:

working mothers hatcheling their fax,

many other things for the support OF the

while that for cooking and drinking was
drawn from wells with their 'old osken
buckets, and long poles and well-sweeps.
