,james Rtissell Lowell.

AS the New York Herald says, "Mr.
Lowell, who died on the 18th inst, in the
old colonial mansion in Cambridgein which
he was born nearly seventy-two years ago.
occupied unique place in our American
literature.
His childhood was passed in an environ
ment of scholarship. He inherited literary
tendencies as one inherits real estate, and it
was as natural for him to follow their lead
as for the heir of family to look after his
property.
Fame may hesitate to rank Lowell
among the proudest poets we have pro
duced, but she will readily concede that
in all his work there was remarkable de-
gree of grace and graciousness. He dis
cussed every subject with the artistic re-
finement and delicncy of a widely cultured
gentleman, and his public speeches were as
charming as symphony of Beethoven and
as rich in color as the pictures of the old
masters.
A great preacher occe said of himself
that he was democratic in theory, but q
thorough aristocrat in practice. That is to
say, he believed in the multitude, but didn't
care to mingle with them. In like manner,
Lowell took great interest in politics, but
didn't care to enter the field. He hurled
his hot shot at corruption and intrigue
through his open study window, but had
no taste for the practical work of the re-
| former.
His most efficient service to the country
was rendered by quill pointed with satire,
from whose nib flowed the nasal dialect OF
New England farmer. He struck fresh
vein when he wrote the Biglow Papers, and
his singing rhymes had tremendous ef-
feet on public opinion. He did not swing
the six-foot sword of Richard, which could
only be welded by the arm of a giant, but
rather the razor. edged blade of Saladin
which could cut cobweb prejudice in two
You get glimpse of his peculiar power in

died at her home in Garden City, Oct.
10, 1891, of consumption, aged II years,
5 months and 2 days.
IT'S thrice the white winged messenger of death
Has visited us one and all;
And Edna dear. pure as a Lilly's breath
Did answer the Savior's call
OF al she was ever thoughtful,
Even as the last houe came,
The Goodbye fell so beautiful
AS she called us all by name.
With whit'ning]ips and failing heart,
That long. last, sadly sweet. Good bye"
We knew from us she would depart,
That Edna dear, was called TO die
There is one heart so sad and lonely
For she was to be bride;
There's one that feels in death only
Will his tears be ever dried.
A lilly sweet, flower so fair
0 God! she's gone for aye
darling pure as morning air
Gone from US in day
We must not mourn too sadly.
We cannot wish return
The spirit flown SO gladly,
From that beloved urn.
O may peace so sweet and calm
Fall or those dear afflicted hearts
/ Ike as some pure sweet scented balm,
70 soothe their sadly aching hearts
