rty years for the presidency. That great thunder-cloud of civil war, that we have seen covering the whole heavens, was but a dark patch on the glowing sky of the South. In these times, and among these people, Grace Greenwood now began to live and move, and have a part, and win a glowing fame. For six or eight years her summer home was New Brighton. In winter she was in Philadelphia, in Washington, in New York, writing for White tier or for Willis and Morris, or for Neal's Gazette, or for Godey. She was the most copious and brilliant lady correspondent of that day, wielding the gracefullest quill, giving the brightest and most attractive column. It is impossible, without full extracts, to give the reader a full idea of these earlier writings of Grace Greenwood. They had the dew of youth, the purple light of love, the bloom of young desire. As well think of culling a handful of moist clover-heads, in the hope of reproducing the sheen and fragrance, the luxuriance and the odor of

all's Magazine, and afterward in the Mayflower, first attracted public attention to her as a writer of great versatility and promise. In this Semicolon club the woman of genius seems to have first become really conscious of her powers; in it she received also recognition, sympathy, and an impulse, and by it found a way for herself out beyond the circle of private fellowships into the wider circles of the great world. Meanwhile she was an occasional contributor to the Western Magazine, to Godey's Magazine, and perchance to other periodicals. And not long after her marriage the Mayflower was published, which contained, beside some of the best of her Semicolon papers, several new sketches of New England life and character. Thenceforward her life flowed on in purely domestic channels for several years, without putting forth any decided signs of its future fruitfulness. And now we are brought to the threshold of that great arena on which her mightiest works were done, and her great

The most important popular magazines in existence in 1850 were the Knickerbocker in New York, Godey's Lady's Book and Graham's in Philadelphia, and The Southern literary Messenger in Richmond. Thcker had an honourable tradition, and offered a place of publication for many American writers. Godey's Lady's Book was continued to 1876, though it lost much of its popularity and almost all its li fancy work never seems the most dignified medium of publication, but in the height of its glory Godey's was able to command original contributions from authors of the highest rank. Graham's, which was in outline that of the traditional industrious apprentice. Even more than its predecessor, Godey's Lady's Book, The ladies' home journal is devoted to household arts, but it has always laid empluence in the life of the hard-pressed American author. The burst on authorland of Graham's and Godey's liberal prices, Willis said, was like a sunrise without a dawn. Graham's magazine, See Book

by giving a pair of these stockings. She complied with their request. The stockings were raveled, and bits of the yarn fastened on cards on which she had written her name. These sold for a hundred dollars. A second pair was raveled, and another large sum was raised. John Roulston gave Mary the poem in 1815. She and her friends naturally inferred that he was the author of it. No question as to the authorship was raised till in 1829 Mrs. Sarah Josepa (Buell) Hale, afterwards editor of Godey's Monthly, published a volume of poems for children, and included in them were six stanzas, entitled Mary Had a Little Lamb. The additional verses are:— And then it ran to her, and laid Its head upon her arm, As if to say, I'm not afraid, You'll keep me from all harm. What makes the lamb love Mary so? The eager children cry; Oh, Mary loves the lamb, you know, The teacher did reply. And you each gentle animal In confidence may bind, And make them follow at your will, If you are only k

Yankee publications. The Richmond Enquirer expresses its surprise to see, in a paper published in a Southern city, some days since, a notice to the effect that "Godey'sLady's Book," for July, had been received, and might be had at a book-store in that city. If, under existing circumstances, the slightest encouragement can be given in the South to the periodical literature of the North, what may we expect with the return of peace? And if we are to continue tributary to the literature and the commerce of the North, the war would better never have been fought, for every drop of its precious blood has been shed and every dollar of its treasure expended in vain. The Harpers, the Putnams, the Bonners, have drained the South of millions upon millions for their worse than worthless publications, whilst our own literature has been permitted to pine and dio. The loss of the treasure is nothing, but to spend so much for that whose only tendency was to beget superficial thought and d
