Biographical Sketch:
• The gifted writer who has won such
. .a wide and 'bi.-auliful reputatton around
the domestic hearth-stones of this coun
try;
under the name of Giu.ce.Brteese
woos, was . boin in Pompey, , a quiet,
town in' , Onondaga courtly,
N. Y. Her family name was. Sara G.
. Clarke, which, by her marriage with
MreLeander . K. Lippincott, of Philadel
phia,ln October last, is again changed ;
but the appellatiori by which she will be
best known in the history of American
literature, is that under which she made
her earliest appearance in the field of•
authorship, and. attracted a multitude of
appreciative and'adrairing readers.
The first years-ofher childhood were'
spent with her parents, and a large
family .of brothers and sisters, in u
pleasant rural home in her native plate,
Ifere she acquired that face-to-face fa
.milieritY'ivith nature, that wilt) passionpassion
for out-door sports and exercises which i
made her a s.ort of Die Vernon at an I
early age, end which, if we may judge
from per writings, the experience of
maturer life has never quite, taken out
of her heart. done but a genuine
.country-girl; wit eye and soul alive to
allthe enchantments of woods, and
.
waters,, and verdant fields, could have
given.ihe locing description of Beauty
which we find in one of her published
letters. " Beauty," says the jocund .
Grace," is no fragile, rouged, and pow
dered ball-room belle ; but a wild, blown
ing, vigorou.s nYTit of the
.mountains,
a bounding, spar *ng praline, amid
k iii,
green dells -and ashirig water-falls.—
Her eye flashes not back the glaring
brilliancy of the 'gay saloon, but warm
sunshine and clear starlight ; and her
'vciice isnot iuned to the harp and guitar, '
but sings with the wild bird'and laughs '
with the rivulet: Bebe herself was no
Inxutious' s habitant, of a‘marble palace,
with silken couches and velvet Farpets,
but reclined beneath the shades and
:danced amid the dews and moving splen
dors of the sacred rnoun9itis of the gods.
.The Muses and Graces/were all young
ladies of rural propensities and most
untefined habitq •
A little ieciden of her Childhood is
related in one Of her juvenile works,-
which shows the precocious developnient
of that spirit-of enterprise and remence
which 'seems to be ingrained in her , - nat..
Ural temperament. On a certain - I Occa
sion; it appears, that The.young.madcap
had called forth the displasure eit her
affectionate. mother, by indulging in a
wild equestrian Performance which- had
nearly. ended in broken bones. ..It
.happened,'.' says Grace,: " that I had on
that day a nice new dress, Whi h I 'had
sadly soiled by my fall from th pony ;
co that when I reached home toy other
