"For / am boundIby gratitude.

To brothers of mine across the SEA,
Who stretch out kindly hands to me-"
Mrs. Browning's most enthusiastic admirers
are Americans. Her character was well.nigh
perfect Patient In long suffering. she
never spoke of herself, except when the subject
was forced upon her by others, and then with
no complaint. With her everything was
religion; her Christianity was not confined
to church andirubric; 1t meant civilization. An
eminent author has called Mrs. Browning the
female Shakespeare of England Among the fe
male poets she has no superior. snd few If any
equals. Although so long an invalid, Mrs
BrowDing's death was unexpected at the time 4;
She never recovered from a cold contracted in
the winter OF 1859. told upon her lungs
Early on!the morning of the goth of June 1861,
with pleasant words on her lips for her poet
husband and the boy Browning, this gifted
woman peacefully expired. They heard her
poet-voiee saying:
And friends, dear friends. when 1t shall be
That this low breath has gone from me,
And around my bier we come to weep,
Let one most loving of you all
Say, mot tear must DER her fall
He giveth His beloved sleep"
Butthe tears would fall as they bore her to the
English burying-ground, without the gates of
Florence. and her grave is the shrine of pilgrims
from both sides of the sea. Florenee-accord
ing to medieval custom placed on Casa
Guidi this inscription of love and honor, which
may be rendered thus:
Here wrote and died

Who in her woman's heart united
The wisdom of a sage and the eloquence of poet
With her golden verse she linked Italy to England
