DEATH OF MRS. STOKE

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, fam
Gus as the author of "Uncle Toms
Cabin" died on the 1st inst. She
had remarkable literary career. A
descendent of brainy parents, she
inherited talent, and had the sense
to apply it, as was also true Of her
brother, Henry Ward Beecher, whose
place in the pulpit has never yet
found his equal. Mrs. Stowe was
fond of reading and study, and at
ten years OF age wrote highly prac.
teal composition on q very deep
subject, "Can the Immortality of
the Soul Be Proved by the Light of
Nature?" Her early struggle was
in raising her children, and it is said
that the most of "Uncle Toms Cab.
in" was written in the kitchen, with
the children pulling at her apron.
However, it Melted her, as a serial in
a Washington paper, 800 dollars,
and the first years edition IN book
form paid her royalty of ten thous-
and dollars, which kept on increas-
ing. The work has been published
in nineteen different languages, and
has outlived the fugitive slave law
against which it was written. For
ten years, illness followed her hus-
band aud children, and this led to
the inspiration Of her book, earth
ly Care, Heavenly Discipline She
was wonderful character, living to
q good old age, memory only failing
her, and she simply fell asleep in
the arms of Him whom she had al
ways worshipped.
