Jula Ward Howe, Reminiscences: 1819-1899, Chapter 5: my studies (search)
od reading for the youth of our country. Its great author introduces into his recital scenes and personages calculated to awaken strange discords in a mind ignorant of any greater wrong than the small sins of a well-ordered household. Although disapproving greatly of Goethe, my father took a certain pride in my literary accomplishments, and was much pleased, I think, at the commendation which followed some of my early efforts. One of these, a brief essay on the minor poems of Goethe and Schiller, was published in the New York Review, perhaps in 1848, and was spoken of in the North American of that time as a charming paper, said to have been written by a lady. I have already said that a vision of some important literary work which I should accomplish was present with me in my early life, and had much to do with habits of study acquired by me in youth, and never wholly relinquished. At this late day, I find it difficult to account for a sense of literary responsibility which neve

fresh blood into veins impoverished by ascetic views of life. Its philosophers were apostles of freedom, its poets sang the joy of living, not the bitterness of sin and death. These good things were brought to us piecemeal, by translations, by disciples. Dr. Hedge published an English rendering of some of the masterpieces of German prose. Longfellow gave us lovely versions of many poets. John S. Dwight produced his ever precious volume of translations of the minor poems of Goethe and Schiller. Margaret Fuller translated Eckermann's Conversations with Goethe. Carlyle wrote his wonderful essays, inspired by the new thought, and adding to it daring novelty of his own. The whole is matter of history now, quite beyond the domain of personal reminiscence. I have spoken of the transcendentalists and the abolitionists as if they had been quite distinct bodies of believers. Reflecting more deeply, I feel that both were features of the new movement. In the transcendentalists the e

Fall of the Roman Empire occupied me during one entire winter. I have already mentioned my early familiarity with the French and Italian languages. In these respective literatures I read the works which in those days were usually commended to young women. These were, in French, Lamartine's poems and travels, Chateaubriand's Atala and Rene, Racine's tragedies, Moliere's comedies; in Italian, Metastasio, Tasso, Alfieri's dramas and autobiography. Under dear Dr. Cogswell's tuition, I read Schiller's plays and prose writings with delight. In later years, Goethe, Herder, Jean Paul Richter, were added to my repertory. I read Dante with Felice Foresti, and such works of Sand and Balzac as were allowed within my reach. I had early acquired some knowledge of Latin, and in later life found great pleasure in reading the essays and Tusculan dissertations of Cicero. The view of ethics represented in these writings sometimes appeared to me of higher tone than the current morality of Christe

The method of Kant being that of the employment of mind in its freedom, his fidelity to human freedom has never been questioned and never can be.

formation is gathered. says of it— Professor Lewis grasped the dramatic possibilities of a dedicatory service in which the bell itself should play a speaking part. The program began with an invocation, and the class song was sung by Frank Lincoln Pierce, who sang it on the ‘98 Class Day. The president of the class, John Albert Cousins, next presented the bell, which was accepted by President Hamilton. The ode was by Clara Ransom of ‘98, for Tufts was then co-educational. Passages from Schiller's Lay of the Bell were next sung, and at the words, She is moving, sways, sways, the first stroke of the bell was given by the college president. Then followed the Act of Dedication—To Prayer, to Mourning, to Work, to Jubilation, and as the Voice of Alma Mater by the president. At each pronouncement there was response by the choir and bell. During all the exercises the audience had been seated. It now arose and joined in singing a stanza of the college song, pausing before the final

Republics not Ungrateful. --The year in which Mount Vernon Became the property of the Union by the efforts of American women, consummated the purchase of the Grill by the school children of Switzerland, at a cost of $11,000. The Grill, near Aldorf, and the birthplace of Tell, is the spot where, in the fourteenth century, three brave men entered into a secret combination to rid the country of its oppressors — a movement which soon extended to the other cantons. The sale of this place, dear to every Swiss, was concluded on the one hundredth birthday of Schiller.

23. --General Butler spent this morning at Newport News, whence no movement of importance is reported Last evening there was a reception at the headquarters of Col. Max Webber, of the 20th New York Regiment, formerly the summer residence of Ex-President Tyler Gens. Butler and Pierce, with their staff and ladies, were present to hear the Germans sing, and witness the performance of the Turners. The Ex President's residence, Villa Margarette, is elegantly furnished. Cases of Schiller and GŒthe adorn Col. Max Webber's quarters. Col.

The Varieties. --This little place of entertainment continues nightly thronged with quiet and attentive audiences. The attractions have been varied, and the performances highly creditable to the corps dramatique. We are glad to perceive that the manager has excluded from the building all improper persons. This arrangement will meet the hearty approval of the public. The stage direction, during the absence of Mr. Dalton, has been in the hands of Mr. R. Ogden. The-night, Mrs. Jennie Powell takes a benefit, when Schiller's tragedy of the "Robbers" will be enacted.
