the means employed to check this

THAT LITTLE ROOM. TOP FLOOR.

Our dream came true, and we own-we
The beautiful home we planned
In the old glad times of the sweeter
rhymes,
When | sought your fair, white hand
When my hearts request was to build q
nest,
Next thing to heavenr' | swore:
And it was, for oh, Love dwelt, you know
In that little back room, top floor.
1t seemeth well we here should dwell,
And settle us down and sup,
And sing our lays to the good old days
When we could not settle up
with thanks came back my rhymes,
alack!
And our hearts were sometimes sore
When the landlord sent for his past due
rent
OF the little back room, top floor
Like a feeting year it seems, my dear,
But | know it was long ago.
For your tresses rare are now more fair
Than they were at the time-you know
CThe months my brain in a wild, deep
pain,
Refused to serve us more)-
They were sold to stay the wolf away
From the little back room, top floor.
The gods have brought the gifts we sought,
For we own our vine and roof:
But my heart still StrayS to the strange,
sweet days
When the MUSES. held aloof.
And my thoughts fleet ship makes many
To a far-off golden shore,
While / steal the themes for all my

Rev. Charles f. Stowe, the only sur
Vlvlng son of Harriet Beecher Stowe,
writes to the Hartford Courier" in re-
gard to letter received by him from
various admirers of his mother. con-
cerning the erection Of a statue of her or
monument to her memory He says
that he and his sisters regard it as their
exclusive privilege to erect monument
over their mothers grave at Andover
and that any plan for statue of mon
ument elsewhere, they regard with in
difference tinctured slightly by appre-
hension. He suggests that. If anything
is TO be done by his mothers admirers
to honor her memory, it should take the
form of a Harriet Beecher Stowe schol-
arship at Hampton, Fiske or Tuskegee.
adding: Such a memorial would,
know, be quite in keeping with my
mothers taste, and far more useful TO
man and honoring God than some brazen
monstrosity scowling the unfortunate
beholder out OF countenance from its
ugly granite pedestal. The ordinary
bronze statue ought to be regarded as
terrible penalty, to be inflicted only on
great offenders against society like
Adam, Captain Kidd or Benedict
