MisS srAoLpiNa SpauldinR. The poem originally appeared in print in the New York Daily Graphic in 1876. Mrs. Spaulding still has in her posses sion note from Editor Croffut accept ing the poem. complimenting it in the highest terms and regretting that The Graphic could not pay for poetry, no matter how meritorious. This letter has proved Mrs. Spaulding's claim and has confounded many m impostor. The words of Fate" follow:
 Two shall be born the whole widc world apart And speak in diffesCAt tongues and hare no
 thought
 Each of the others being. and no heed. And these OCT unknown seas to unknown
 lands
 Shall cross. escaping wreck. defying death, And, all unconsciously, shape every act And bend each wandering step 10 this one end That one day out of darkness they shall meet And read life's meaning in each others eyes. And two shall walk some narrow way of life So nearly side by side that. should one turn Ever so little space 10 right or left.
 They needs must stand acknowledged face to
 face.
 And yet, with wistful eyes that never meet, With grOping hands that never clasp and lips Calling in vain to ears that never hear, They seek each other all their weary days And die unsatisfied, and that is fate!
 Mrs. Spaulding was born in Bath, Me, and received her education there. She was married while very young, and her welded life was exceedingly happy. but death soon robbed her of her hus- band. She is described as q charming woman. with rare conversational pow CTS and a vast fund of entertaining in. formation. She has written considera. ble poetry besides Fate" and her son. nets have been particularly admired by discriminating critics. Her best known poem is the only blank verse that ha: ever como from her pen.
