Mary Thacher Higginson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson: the story of his life, VI: in and out of the pulpit (search)
Howe said we were on the eve of a revolution with that speech—nothing but Ellis's speech saved us. Yet it was very short and I was conscious of no such effects. In fact I walked in a dream all that week, but it tested me to the utmost . . . . Meetings where every one present had to be identified and every window closed; and plans that involved risking one's life and reputation solitary against law, state and nation. From an account of the attempted rescue, written by Mr. Higginson in 1890, these extracts are taken: All projects for the rescue of fugitive slaves were embarrassed in those days by the fact that the most trusted abolitionist leaders were largely nonresist-ants in principle, and were unwilling to take part in any actual outbreak, while other well-wishers, such as Horace Mann, were utterly opposed to any violation of the law. . . . A plan was hastily formed by four or five abolitionists for the rescue of Sims. The plan was to communicate with the prisoner thr

t was abstinence from soups—and salt—and pastry that enabled him to write such papers. Tell me how much liquid, he asked, I must exchange for such a flow of thoughts—how much pepper must be forsaken to leave such spice of wit?

In the diary of 1890, Mr. Higginson wrote, Much gratified at letter from Miss Eastman telling me from Dr.——that my Ought Women was really the seed of Smith College. A further tribute to the value of this essay came to the author in a letter from a thoughtful friend, who said, I think it was one of the influences that opened Michigan University to women, and has now invited a woman professor on the same terms as men. The anonymousness of the Atlantic essays caused some amusing mistakes, as when Mrs. C. H.

into our carriages again, a lot of little black boys and girls ran along beside us, shouting whenever the bugler played. After this visit he noted in the journal: Began anew on history with fresh interest for visiting localities. The summer of 1890 was spent in Dublin, New Hampshire, which became henceforth a permanent summer home. The little daughter wrote her aunt in Brattleboro:— Papa wishes you to know that the castle in the air has a place on earth. He has just bought an acre o Your faithful Parishioner. Written at the breakfast table—hence spots. But what are these, besides spots on the Faith? The distinction of being Harvard's oldest graduate Colonel Higginson whimsically coveted. He wrote to his sister in 1890:— I am renewing my efforts for the post of oldest living graduate of Harvard and have now only 236 ahead of me, not counting my classmates. One curious feeling, he meditated, about Commencement in growing older is that you do not feel as if<
