The Late Emily Die binSOn.

Emily Dickinson, the Amherst poet, was
a woman of few friendships. The few with
whom she was intimate seldom saw her,
for when they called she inv ,riaDly insisted
upon their being seated in the hall while
she conversed with them rom over the
balustrade in the upper hall. 1t was her
custom to correspond 10y wri.ing with these
friends and her letters were marvels of POI
etic expression.
Emily Dickinson wore white at all times
Of the year, In pleasant weather she used
to go walking in the garden and in the spa
cious grounds around her fathers resi-
dence, and her companion out of doors was

know that l believe that the first to come
and greet me when | 20 to heaven will be
this dear faithful old friend Car.oy"
1t is said that Miss Dickinso eccentric

in love. While she was still girl she be

forbade the young man the house. 1t is
said that at that time Miss Emily told her
father that, as he had closed the doors upon
her friend, so he had closed the doors upon
her, and from that day she so seldom left
the house-and, for that matter, so seldom
left her rOom-that she was for 50 years

Gus lake miles and miles ahead. \ half
an hour before midnight the relief train,
snorting after the hundred mile run, rolled
into Marquette more like O. fabulous rep
tile incascd in scales of frozen snow crawl
ing out of the black cave Of light than "a
modern useful monster bearing instru-
mCnts Of mercy in its bosom. As the cars
slowed up at the station, out lcaped the lion
hearted crew, ready for the battle with the
sea. Across the six miles If heavy beach
the equipments were borne in sleighS, ana
Mt l o'clock the gun and lifeboIt stood OPP
positc the wreck The wild cheering and
gestures of the crowd gave new lease Of
hope to the sailors Then came the line
guns boom and the steel slug whirling
across the barge amidships. But the i'm
prisoned men could not reach the rope, and
Keeper Ocha turned to the lifcboat The
rudder had been broken on the reckless
trip down and had been patched while the
line was being fired.
At O'Clock the launch was made, but
at the first reef the force Of the breakers
bent the rudder irons and split the timber
of the post The crew rctrcated to the
shore and made another effort to fire "A line
across the wreck. They succeeded, but
the sailors could not reach H., and once
more the life savers manned the surfbOat
which had meanwhile been repaired. a
long and desperate struggle carried her
through the breakers, but Y hen she reach
ed the barge she was weigh ed down with
"a heavy plating of ice. Nine OF the suffer
ing sailors with the ice clad crew, were
all that could with safety venture on the
return trip. She was bcached at last and
instantly rclaunchcd. On the second trip
the boat shipped sea after sea and was
nearly swampcd, but finally the six re
manning bargemen, all of whom were be-
numbed with cold and nearly starved from
a two days fast, We're landed beside the
warm fires.
The trip to the schooner was the most
difficult of all. The life savers were hand
icappcd by the accumulations Of ice upon
their clothing, and the surging of the
breakers was tremendous. Their boat was
beaten back again and again and once was
nearly thrown over at the second reef. The
rudder again gave out, and the craft was
stecred solely by manipulation with the
oars But the crew was iudomitable and
refused to yield with the rescue half done.
Slowly and painfully they l-bored on, pro
pelling and steering with alternate back
ward and forward strokes until at 8
| o'clock, after a full hours strug lie, they
| had the boat alongside the schooner The
return was comparatively easy and every
| soul was landed without mishap. Thus II
| crew of half a dozen rcsOlute men, moved
! by the spirit of their noble service, had in
/ Is hours Travelled over 100 m les and accom-
| plished a rescue which thousand novices
already on the spot with all the resources
| of port and "A city to draw upon, failed to
| do in an equal space of time.
