A BIT OF the Life Of Robert Browning and

A BIT OF the Life Of Robert Browning and
Elizabeth Barrett.
As we all know. it was Mr.. Kenyon
who first introduced Robert Browning
to his future wife; and the story. as
told by Mrs. Orr. is most romantic
The poet was about thirty-two years
OF age at this time in the fulluess of
his powers. She was supposed to be-
a confirmed invalid. confined to her
own room and TO her couch. seeing no
one. living her own spiritual life. in
deed, but looking for none other.
when Mr.. Kenyon first brought Mr..
Browning to her fathers house. Miss
Barretts reputation waJ we'll estab-
lished by this time. Lady Ger
aldiue'5 Courtship'' was already pub
lished. in which the author had
written of Browning among other
poets as of lone pomegranate which
if cut deep down the middle shows a
heart within blood tiuctured. of a
veined humanity; and one can we'll
believe that this present meeting must
have been put phase in an old and
long existing sympathy between
kindred spirits. Very soon afterwards
the poets became engaged and they
were married in the autumn OF the
year 1916.
Who does not know the story of
this marriage of true soulso Has not
Mrs. Browning herself spoken OF it
in words indeliole and never to be
quoted without sympathy by all wom-
en-? while he from his own fireside
has struck chord after chord OF manly
feeling than which this life contains
nothing deeper or more true.
The sonnets from the Portuguese
were written by Elizabeth Barrett to
Mr.. Browning before her marriage.
writes Ammo Thackeray Richie in
Harper's Magazine. although she
never even showed them to him till
some years after they were man and
wife. They were sonnets such as no
Portuguese ever wrote before. or ever
will write again. There is a quality
in them which is beyond words that
echo which belongs to the highest hui
man expression OF feeling But such
a love to such woman comes with
its own testament

EDITOR ATKINS DEAD.

MONTPELIER, Oct. 2d.-Hiram Atkins,
editor of the argus and Patriot, died at
S:20 last night of internal cancer, at his
residence on Elm Street.
He was born in 1881 at Esopus, Ulster
county, n. Y, and when four years of
age his parents moved to Poughkeepsie,
where he attended district school until he
was 10, then began clerking in a dry goods
store. At II he began learning the prin-
ter's trade on the Poughkeepsie Eagle;
later he became partner in the Weekly
Battle Ground at North Bennington; at
21 he came into possession of the, Stand
ard at Bellows Falls and changed its
name to the argus. During Buchanans
administration he was postmaster in that
town, but was obliged to give up the po-
sitiou, and in 1868 moved the argus to
Montpelier and united it with the Yer
mont Patriot, which was purchased from
Charles G. Eastman, and the present ar
gus and Patriot is the outcome of that
combination.
Mr.. Atkins was strong Democrat, and
has been Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee since 1865. In 1874 he
represented Montpelier in the Legisla-
ture In 1888 he was chosen member of
the Democratic National Committee and
has since retained that position.
Commenting on this despatch the Free
Press says: "The death of Mr.. Hiram
Atkins removes a man well known
throughout the State. Mr.. Atkins has
been prominent in Vermont politics for
many years, and through his own strong
personality and the influence of his
newspaper he welded no little power
among the Vermont Democrats, having
been chairman of their State Committee
about 20 years. He dispensed the federal
patronage in this State during Cleve-
lands administration, and the trouble
which followed the resulting differences
in the party undoubtedly fastened his
death. The pathetic scene which at
tended the announcement of his wlte's
death during the progress of the last
Democratic State Convention will not
soon be forgotten by those were present.
1t was then evident that Mr.. Atkins, who
had been in poor health, was severely
stricken, if indeed it was not his death
blow, and he never recovered wholly
from the shock. Mr.. Atkins was an ac-
tive and jealous member of the Episco-
pal church, and he took prominent part
in the affairs of the Vermont diocese.
Although bitter fighter politically he
was socially a genial, companionable
man, and his death will be regretted by
large circle of friends and acquaint-
anceS."
