dolipht the evening spent in listeuina to the
lecture on Swift, Ion? atro In America, aud
'experiencing ajtuio the n-nse of heavy loss

novelist whom I most loved and admired would
never write aualn. Leaving my tribute of ailce
tion and repeet in a look, a Mnile, and a sih, 1
Fathered a leaf of ivy as a relic, and went on
my way.
CoiKiug at lust to a quiet street, where all the
houMi were pay with window-boxes full of
tlowets, we leached Misn Ingelow'. In the
diawinir-rooni wo found tho mother of the
poet i, u truly iRamiful old Indy, in widow's
caj and eown, with the sweetest, m-nmoxt fare
l e-vevaw. Two datipblers sat with her, both
older il nn 1 had fancied them to be, but both
very attractive women. Eliza looked as if she
wrote the poetry, Jean the prose -tor the former
wore ctuls, had a delicate luce, hue, eyes, and
that indesciibnble something which auppests
peniuc; the latter was plain, rather stout.'hair
touched with prey, shy, yet cordial manners,
and a clear, stralphuorwurd plance, which I
liked to much that 1 forgave her on the soot lor
writing those dull stories.
fieraid Mas-iey was with them, a dapper little
man, with a larpc, fine head, and very un-
t-upiiHn manners. Heme oppressed with "the
mouutainous me," he rather bored the company
with "my poems, my plans, and my publishers."
Jill Miss Eliza politely devoted herself to him,
leaving my friend to chat with the lovely old
lady, and myself with Jean. Jiotli being ba-h-tul,
and both laborine under the dcliisioa that
it was proper to allude to tncu other's works,
we tried tj exchange a few fornlimntl
blushed, hesitated, laughed, and widely took
reMige m a saler subject. Jean had been
abroad; t-o wo pleasantly compared notes, and
I enjoyed the sound of her peculiarly musical
voice, in which I seemed to hear the breezy
rhythm of some of her charming sones. Tae
ice which surrounds every KngUsh man ami
woman was beginning to melt, when Mas-ey
disturbed me to ask what was thought ot h
books in Amci lea. As I really had not the re
motest idea, I said so; whereat he looked blank,
and lell upon Longfellow, who seems to be the
only one of our poets whom tho English know
or care much about. The conversation bacame
general, and i-oon alter it was necessary to
leave, kt the safety of the nation should be
endangered by overstepping the Used limits of
a morning call.
Later, 1 learned that Miss Ingelow was ex
tremely conservativa, aud very indignant when
a petition for woman's right to vote was offered
for her signature. A rampant radical told rae
this, and shook her head pathetically over
Jean's narrowness: but when 1 heard that onca
a week several poor souls dined comfortably in
the pleasant home of the poetess, I loreave her
conservatism, and regretted that an unconqur
ablo aversion to dinner-parties made me de
cline her invitation.
CiKORCiK ELIOT.
Having an Intense desire te see the author of
"Adam Bede," we drove to the Priory one
Sunday, hoping that a peep might be voueh
taled me. To my great disappointment, how
ever, Mrs. Lewes was too feeble to see a
etrauger; so, while my friend went in lor a mo
ment, I was forced to content myself with ad
miring the laburnums and wisterias that fringed
the garden-walls with plumes of violet and gold,
and wonder in which of the pleaaaut-lookiug
rooms the last book had been written, for
"Felix Holt" was just hushed, ana its author
-preparine to seek rest aud health at the German
baths. When Mrs. T returned, Mr. Lewes
accompanied her, and while he lingered a mo
ment, 1 took a woman's look at him untjfir cover
of my veil. A small, plain raau, w ith kwn blue
eyes, marks of suffering in bis lace, and charm
ingly courteous manners.
As we drove home I asserted my Yankee
privileee of asking questions and, as the lacts
1 then learned are no secret, I repeat them
here. Mr. Lewes, having lorgiven and received
back an unfaithful wile, cannot, according to
English law, obta'n a divorce, although the
wife has twice deserted him. Miss lOvaus is
considered his wile, and called Mrs. Lewes by
their lriends, in spite of gossip and scandal,
Owing to her peculiar position, Mrs. Lewes sel
dom eoes into general society or sees strangers,
though every one Is anxious to meet her, and
many of her warmest friends are among the
wise and pood. All whom I taw loved, re
spected, aud defended her; some upon the plea
that, if genius, like charity, covers a multitude
of sins in men, why not in women? Others,
that outsiders know so little of the sorrowful
etory that they cannot judge the case; and,
thouph they may condemn the act, they can
pity the actors, and heartily admire ail that is
admirable in the life and labor of either.
MISS COBBE.
As I sat poring over Gustave Dore's illustra
tions of Dante one morning, the door suddenly
flew open, and in rolled an immensely stout
lady, witn skirls kilted up, a caue in her hand,
a tlj-away preen bonnet on nor head, and a loud
laugh ibsuiug from her lips, as she cast herself
upon a sofa, exclaiming breathlessly:
"Mo dear creature, if e love me, a glass of
sherry!"
The wine being ordered, I was called from my
nook, and introduced to Miss Cobbe. 1 had
imagined the author of "Intuitive Morals" to be
a serious, severe lady, of the "Cornelia Blim
ber" school, and was much surprised to see this
merry, witty, Falstattlan personage. For half
Jin hour she entertained us with all manner of
droll sayings, an full ot sen?e as of humor, one
minute talking earnestly and gravely on the
suttrago question, which just then absorbed the
circle in which I found myself, tho next criti
cising an amateur poem in a way that con
vulsed her hearers, and in tho middle of it
jumping up to admire a picture, or trot
about the room, enthusiastically applauding
some welcome bit of news about "our peti
tion." Cheery, sensible, kindly, and keen she
seemed; and when she went away, talking hard
till out of the pate, and vanishing with a hearty
laagh, it was as if a great sunbeam had left the
room, so genial and friendly was the impression
she made. I saw her srveral times afterwards,
and always found her the same. Wherever she
w as people gathered about her, as if she was a
social tire, and every one teemed t'i find warmth
and pleasure in the attractive circle which sur
rounded her. It was truly dehehtful to see a
woman so useful, happy, wife, and beloved;
and it confirmed still more my belief that smele
women are a valuable and honorable portion
of the human rsce, in spite ot the sneers at
"old maidB" and lamentation over their un
happy lot.

We were at dinner when she ca ne in, but lone

fioni one another. One by one the young men
fell silent; and we sat in the dusk, listening to
the gill's eloquent voice, as she repeated line
lines irom Shakespeare, Milton, Goethe, Cole
li.igo. and Schiller, with a dramatic power that
charmed us all. Whenever she paused, some
one eagerly said, "Please eo on:" and she did eo
on, illustrating her theme with marvellous
skill and beauty, holding us till late into the
eveuinc, and causing the whole party to volun
teer as an eseoit when she left.
It was a moonlight night, and I walked with
her a part of the way home, answering her
questions about America, and hearing some of
her pranks, which were decidedly ol the Hettine
crder. She liked the freedom ol her own coun
try better tbnu fcnelund, and said she was con
timially shocking some excellent person by
doing what she liked, regardless of the strict
rules set down for tho guidance ot young ladies.
"I desired to visit Switzerland when more
young than now," she said, in her prettily
broken Knglish. "I took a friend to protect
me, but we soon wearied of each other; 1 sent
her home, and then l was greatly content. Ah,
such adventures, all alone in a strange country;

lite otten becomes heavy to me; but I make
freedom for myself, and so endure it. Wait a

As she pressed my band at parting with a
strong warm prasp, I could not doubt that the
life ot this richly-irilted girl would come to somo

ARCHBISHOP' WII.VTKE.Y.
A new biography of Archbishop Wuntelv,
edited by hi6 daughter, has appeared in London,
li-om Longman's press. It consists chiefly of
the Archbisliop's letters, which are carefully
ananged in chronological order. A pleasant
sketch of his early life shows that he was a
very nervous and shy child, naturally more
cared lor by his sisters than by his brothers,
lie learned very early to read and write, read
eagerly, watched piders, tamed ducklings,
could distinguish notes of birds, and had so
strong a natural turn for arithmetic that at six
years old he astonished a man past sixty by
telling him, and rightly too, how many minutes
old he was.
RThe calculation was made mentally. Far
about the three years between the years of five
or six and eight or nino this pa-sion lasted.
Tho child was calculating morning, nocn, aud
night. Absorbed in multiplication, division,
and the rule of three, ho rau aainsl people in
the streets. But none of the calculation was
worked upon paper. The passion died out, aud
at school vanished so utterly that Whately was
he says of himselt, "a pprlect dnnce ut cipher
ing, aud so continued ever since." "But," says
his daughter, "he always looked upon himself
as a dunce in that line, though the readiness
with which lie solved curious problems and
aiithmetical puzzles would olten surprise and
baflle the first-class mathematicians. The clear
ness of hu explanation of the processes of arith
metic was always remarkable; but he was never
distinguished as a mathematician at college."
The tollowmgare amoug the anecdotes told by
Mi;s Whately:
ELOCUTION.
"Being absolutely compelled, by the unwise
solicitations of a clerical friend, to give his
opinion as to that Iriend's performance of tho
service, he told him. 'Well, then, if you really
wish to know what I think ot your rending I
should say there are only two purts of the s'er
viccsou read well, nnd those you read unex
ceptionably.1 'Aud what are those ?' said the
clergyman. 'They are, 'Here endeth the first
ler.son,' and 'Here endeth the second lesson '
" "What do you mean, Whately V '
" 'I mean,' he replied, 'that these parts you
read in your own natural voice and manner
which are very eood; the rest is all artificial
and assumed.' It may be added that bis friend
took the hint, alteied his btyle, and became a
very good reader.
"lie otten related another incident, illus
trating his strongly expressed opinion that the
natural voice and manner are the best adapted
to public speaking and readine, and also less
trying to the voice than the artiiicial tone so
generally preferred. A clerical friend of hU,
who had been accustomed to make use of this
artificial tone, complained to him that he was
suflering so much from weakness of the throat,
he feared ho must resign his post. Dr. Whately
told him that he believed if he would chanee
his style of readine, and deliver tho service in
1is natural voice, ho would find it much less
latlgumg. uh,' said his friend, 'that is all very
well for you, who have a powerful voice; but
mine is so feeble that it would be Impossible to
make myself heard in a church if I did not
speak in an artificial tone.'
" 'I believe you are mistaken,' replied the
former; 'you would find that even a weak voleo
would be better heard, and at the expense of
less fatigue, if the tone was a natural one.'
"The other appeared unconvinced; but meet
ing his adviser some time after, he told him he
had at last come round to his view. Tho weak
ness In his throat had so increased that ho was
on the point of retiring from active duty, but
resolved, as a desperate final eilort, to try the
experiment of alterine his manner of reading
and speaking. Ho did so, and not only suc
ceeded beyond his hopes In making himself
heard, but found his voice so much less fatigued
ny me enort, tnai ne was aoio io continue his
employment."
Whately once wrote to his friend, the Bishop
of Llandall:

love of humor made "Knlstia " a great favorite
witn him, and he expressed emit. .i.ui.- ir

things. To my surprise, however, he appeared
even gloomy, although intent upon the play
and it whs only a few times during the whole per

been of a sort to develop more perfectly his
litciary tastes, his keen insight into human

other eccentricities of character, would have
f naoled him to have derived the highest dearce
of enjoyment from tho creations ot the great
masters. As it was, he probably uudei'otooj

to be depleted by some pen not less eranhic

hrst came to Washington as President, there
was very little in the way of public amusement
to call out him or anybody cl&e, and lor a long
time he worked awav steadily In his nfliemi
