not one of those of whom it is said, Tanto buon, che val niente. He was perhaps less of a scholar than a disciplinarian; yet he made skilful mathematicians and accomplished linguists, because he made students. He taught his pupils the force of this sentence: Sic volo; sic jubeo; stat pro ratione voluntas. He was neither severe nor unreasonable; for, under a soldier's sternness, there nestled something of a lover's good-will. Miss Ann Rose, of London, opened a day-school, for girls, in May, 1811; and, in November, 1812, she, and Miss Hannah Swan, of Medford, converted it into a boarding-school, and soon found their house filled with young ladies from the best families in the State. The good influences of this academy can hardly be over-stated. Uniting extensive literary accomplishments with the highest moral qualifications, these ladies performed their legislative and executive duties with dignity and quietness, and labored to give that instruction which develops all the powers

beginning of the War of 1812. Minister Pinkney, at the British Court, had arranged the difficulties concerning the affair of the Chesapeake and Leopard (see Chesapeake), by which full atonement by the British government was secured. A favorable arrangement with the French by the United States had caused British cruisers on the American coast to become more and more annoying to American commerce. A richly laden vessel bound to France was captured within 30 miles of New York, and early in May, 1811, a British frigate, supposed to be the Guerriere, stopped an American brig only 18 miles from New York. The government then resolved to send out one or two of the new frigates to protect American commerce from British cruisers. the President, lying at Annapolis, was ordered (May 6) to put to sea at once, under the command of Commodore Rodgers. Rodgers exchanged signals with the stranger who bore off southward. Thinking she might be the Guerriere, Rodgers gave chase. Early in the eve

ballads,3 and, even if Bryant's eminence as poet of nature owed much to this early reinforcement, his poetry is not Wordsworthian either in philosophy or in mood or in artistry. Wordsworth never left the impress on Bryant's work that the realms of gold made upon the surprised and spellbound boy Keats. No later prophets and craftsmen, The time relations seem to have been as follows. Bryant's father purchased the Lyrical ballads in Boston during 1801, when the son was at college (till May, 1811); Bryant had picked it up at home (Godwin, Life, vol. I, p. 104) to take with him to Worthington (Dec., 81 I), where it was that, as a young law student, he first read it with such surprised delight. Thanatopsis had been written between May and December, apparently in the autumn (Godwin, Life, vol. I, pp. 97-99), and if (as likely) before 3 November, then written when Bryant was still a lad of sixteen. See Van Doren, C., The growth of Thanatopsis, nation, 7 October, American, English,

e, and secure a reelection at their hands. In 1863 he was compelled by the continued encroachments of the Federal forces to remove the State offices to Columbus, Miss. Such was his intense devotion to the cause of the Confederacy that after the surrender of the armies he lost heart and hope, abandoned Mississippi, and went to Arkansas, where he lived the life of a recluse and died January 25, 1867. Charles Clark Charles Clark, the last war governor of Mississippi, was born in Ohio, May, 1811, a lineal descendant of a Mayflower colonist.

He was elected to the Forty-eighth Congress, and held his seat in spite of a contest. He also claimed election to the Fifty-first Congress, but on a contest the seat was given to his opponent. After that time he devoted himself to the practice of law. His home was at Vicksburg, Miss., until his death in April, 1898. Brigadier-General Charles Clark was born in Ohio, in May, 1811. He could boast descent from the old Puritan stock, his ancestors having come over in the Mayflower.

After pursuing this vocation in the city of Natchez and in Yazoo county he read law and, being admitted to the bar, located in Jefferson county. He also engaged in planting in Bolivar county.

old. Now breaking gorgeous to the eye, Now with a sable cloud enrolled? And ere the sun could dart his burning ray, How vapors dank, obscured the face of day? So joy oft gilds life's early scene, When, ere fair reason's sun has power, A sombre cloud will intervene, Nor pleasure gild the prospect more. Dear Hannah, may your morn as brightly shine And your meridian be From those dark vapors free Which overshadowed mine. According to Brooks' History of Medford, revised by Mr. Usher, in May, 1811, Miss Ann Rose of London, opened a day school for girls in the brick edifice known as the Fort on Governor's Lane; and in November, 1812, she and Miss Hannah Swan of Medford converted it into a boarding school, and soon found their house filled with young ladies from the best families in the state.
