THE BROOK FARM.

The history of the Brook Farm, or any
thing connected with it, possesses deep
interest, for it was the unsuccessful at
tempt of a small company of the choicest
spirits America has produced to establish
a colony upon the highest plane of al
truism. In the January Atlantic, Thomas
Wentworth Higginson contributes some
side-lght upon the Brook Farm that
are delightful, as the following extracts
chow:
Mr.. Lindsay Swift, whose work on
Brook Farm is really one of the most
thorough monographs ever written in this
country, reports legend that one of the
younger members or pupils confessed his
passion while helping his sweetheart to
wash dishes; and Emerson is the author
lty for stating that as the men danced
10 the evning, clothespins sometimes drop
ped from their pockets. Hawthorne wrote
to his sister, not without sarcasm, THE
whole fraternity eat together and such
delictable way of life has never been
seen on earth since the days of the early
Christians. We get up at half past six,
dine at half-past twelve and go to bed
at nine.' An element of moral protest al
SO entered into the actual work of the
mere serious members. Thus Mr.. Ripley
