THE WIVES OF MEN OF GENIUS.

Longfellow was nowhere more of a
poet than in his own family. His wife,
Miss Appleton, was burned to death
by the igniting of her light garments
when she was preparing for party,
and the terrible tragedy never passed
from his mind or heart. She was a
lovely creature, it is universally con-
ceded and he mOurned her loss, which
came when he was comparatively
young, to his dying hour. He did not
murmur, not visibly grieve, but he sat
patiently, though pensively under the
shadow of his great affliction, evincing
a beautiful resignation TO his widower-
hood. As father he was an example
of gentleness, tenderness and affection,
and his children adored him. For
thirty years he lived alone. never at
tempting to assuage his bereavement
by taking another companion. The
memory of her who had gone before
ence and breathing love of any one of
the sweet and charming women he
might have had for the asking
Lowell has been Il shining example
of all man ought to be in the tenderest
and most sacred relations to women.
He also has been twice married. His
first wife, Maria White, lived but nine
years, dying at 80, and leaving behind
her reputation, the aroma of which
still fingers about Cambridge, and an
other generation has risen since she
passed into the realms of eternal silence.
She was likewise a poet, and her eX-
quisitely delicate and tender songs,
printed privately in a volume, show
that her mind and culture have not
been over-praised. She was beautiful
and learned and yet so modest and
simple that all who saw her We're drawn
to her by an irresistible attraction 1t
is a lofty encomum that his early
friends declare he was worthy of her.
The second Mrs. Lowell was long an
invalid and his devotion to her was
everywhere shown. A man of the
world, fond of society and convivial
occasions of fine order, he never neg
lected her for day. While he made
no parade of his chivalrous husband
ship and never obtruded his personali-
ty in any way, his love of his wife and
his assiduous attention to her are
spoken of by those who knew them
with "a warmth bordering on enthusi-
asn.
The late Richard Grant White was
an ardent lover of home, having been
seen but little in general society and
not a member of any of the large clubs.
The manifold shows and festivities of
the metropolis, except fine play, sell
dom allured him from the Lares and
Penates-the chief deities worshipped
beyond his threshold.
