Cne soldier Of renown, John Churchill,

were thrown into the bargain, because
stephen thought that no was not doing

Although Stephen was 10 marry one OF
~Thackeray's daughters, Re never saw the
author OF vanity Fair When Stephen
came TO London to live early in 1885 Thack-
eray's daughters were living by themselves
In a house in Onslow Gardens. which was
afterward his home. and they had made
acquaintance with his mother and sister.
On June 10. 1887, the younger of the two
girls, Harriet Marian, became Stephens
wife. It was a most original wedding,
taking place at 8 O'Clock in the morning
TO avoid a wedding breakfast. Nobody
was invited, but a large lumber OF friends
and acquaintance assembled voluntarily.
After a journey on the Continent the
Stephens. with Miss Thackeray, took q
cottage at Henley -on-Thames. During the
next four years he continued TO devote
himself in~dustriously to journalism. At
the beginning OF 1871 the editorship OF
Fraser, which had been edited by Froude,
was offered to him. Il consulted he

and a volume OF Hours in a Library A
second volume OF Hours" was almost
ready and the so-called History Of English
Thought" was nearly finished.
With regard to Stephens editorship
on the COrnhM from 1871 TO 1882 IL may
be said that any volume belonging to those
eleven years which is taken from the shelf
contains a surprisingly large amount Of
still readable matter. Frederic Harrison
has called attention to the great body OF
excellent and permanent literature which
the CornhM Magazine brought forth during
Stephens editorship. The contributions
included Literature and Dogma and
several essays by Matthew Arnold. poems
by Browning, and romances by George
Meredith, Thomas Hardy and r. d. Black

Is the great number OF essays contributed
by II. L. Stevenson. The editor himself
should be credited not only with the long
series Of Hours but with at leas. twenty
other papers. or his CornhiM style IL was
remarked that 1t was -~gentlemAnly in it's

likes and dislikes. For example, per
