experience as a teacher and her OBJ

anti-slavery views. Mrs. Stowe told
a certain story which deeply touched
Mrs SouthWorth.
About this time DR.. Gamaliel Bailey.
publisher of the National Era of
Washington. called at the cottage to
ask Mrs. Southworth to write some-
thing appropriate for his forthcoming
Christmas number. She introduced
Dr. Bailey and Harriet Beecher Stowe
and suggested to Mrs. Stowe that she
write the story she had but lately
told and submit it to DR.. Bailey This
after handed to the editor of the
National Era short story entitled
Life Among the Lowly." DIR. Bailey
thought very well of it. and IT called
forth many favorable comments di-
rectly after appearing in print. Both
Dr. Bailey and Mrs. Southworth urged
Mrs. stowe to continue the story. The
latter was leaving for home, but
agreed to send to DIR. Bailey another
chapter This was followed by an

Toms Cabin a book which had re-
markable effect on public opinion in

her literary workmanship would prob
ably be thought excellent by many
persons now.
Dear young people. the world did
not begin when you were born a tew
years ago. All was not a void be-
fore you came. There were educated
people and people of good judgment
and good taste in the olden time.
Those who were educated were as
soundly learned as well educated men
and women now. There were not SO
many persons who had been to school
and college as there are now, and
there were not SO many 1gnoramuses
who know little bit about great
many things, and know 1t wrong.
Though mechanics have made match
less progress within the past two gen.
erations of men. it must occur to you
that in the days before wireless teleg-
|raphy, wireless telephony. automo-
biles. airplanes and the like some
very good books were written. some
very SOOQ pictures painted, SOHe very
fair statues carved and some rather
acceptable music composed. and that
men knew quite as much about the
science or art of government and as
much about human nature as they
know now. They did not use the
words economies 'civics." eff
cheney" and psychology" as flip
PANTY and as tiresomely as you
do now. but they had very
substantial understanding of the
things to which you have given those
names. SO. as long as Mrs. South
worth had vast audience of con-
servative readers in the United States.

probably concede that there must
/ have been some merit in her novels.
You may find them dull. You
might also reflect that you consider
shakespeare a good deal of bore !:
that you never read line of Thack-
'eray or Dickens; that you are not on
speaking terms with Walter Scott;
that Victor Hugo does not appeal
| to you; that you positively detest"
anything called classic. but adore
anything called CLASSY; that you

now the house has come upon fairer

who knows it's worth and who revereS
who made this house historic. The
present owner paid out money to save
this house from the sad fate which
falls to most old houses and to all
other things which grow old and out

is one of Americas literary shrines
