Mrs. Fields Tells an Interesting -,necdott
OF the Author.

Mrs. Fields Tells an Interesting Anecdote
OF the Author.
Speaking of Longfellow, in her vol
ume of literary "reminiscences, Mrs
Jane j. Fields says:
ellis kindness and love Of humor car
ried him through many tedious inter-
ruption He generously overlooked the
fact of the subterfuges to which men
and women resorted in order to get an
interview, and, TO help them out. made
as much of their excuses rs possible.
Speaking ore day of the persons who
came TO gee him at Nahant, he said:
'One man, perfect stranger, came with
an omnibus full of ladies. He descend
ed, introduced himself; then, returning
to the omnibus, took out all the ladies,
one two, three, four and five, with a
little girl, and brought them in. I en-
tertained them to the best Of ny ability
and they staid an hour. They had scarce
" gone when a forlorn woman i'll black
came up to me OH the piazza and asked
for dipper of wafer Certainly" 1
replied, and went 10 fetch her a glass.
When / brought it, she said: "There is
another woman just by the fence who is
tired and thirsty. will carry this to
her. But she struck her head as she
passed through the window and spilled
the water Oh the piazza. "Oh, what
have doner' she said eff l had a
floor cloth, 1 would wipe it up - "Oh.
no matter about the water" said, "if
you have not hurt yourself. y Then 1
went and brought more water for them
both and sent them on their way re-
freshed and rejoicing.
''It would be both an endless and un-
profitable task to recall more Of the Gu
rious experiences which popularity
brought down upon him. There is a
passage among Mr. Fields notes, how
ever, in which he describes an incident
during Longfellow's last visit to Eng
land which should not he overlooked.
Upon his arrival the queen sent 4 grace
full message and invited him to Windsor
castle, where she received him with all
the honors, but he told NE no foreign
tribute touched him deeper than the
words Of an English hod carrier who
came up to the carriage door at Harrow
and asked permission to take the hand
of the man who had written the Voices
Of the Night. -
