ent, and while we were all up on the hill we sang When I can read my title clear. It went finely. I seem to have so much to fill my time, and yet there is my Maine story waiting. However, I am composing it every day, only I greatly need living studies for the filling in of my sketches. There is old Jonas, my fish father, aea-chest. He is a great heart with an inflexible will and iron muscles. I must go to Orr's Island and see him again. I am now writing an article for the Era on Maine and its scenery, which I think is even better than the Independent letter. In it I took up Longfellow. Next I shall write one on Hawthorne and his surroundings. over home. The plans for the winter's literary work were, however, altered by force of circumstances. Instead of proceeding quietly and happily with her charming Maine story, Mrs. Stowe found it necessary to take notice in some manner of the cruel and incessant attacks made upon her as the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and to fort

me waited on in her own apartment by a very respectable-appearing woman, who offered to make the dress, and lo, this is the result! Since the publication of this piece, I have received earnest missives, from various parts of the country, begging me to interfere, hoping that I was not going to patronize the white slavery of England, and that I would employ my talents equally against oppression in every form.

I verily never thought but that the nice, pleasant person who came to measure me for my silk dress was going to take it home and make

ver. In November Mrs. Stowe contributed to the Atlantic monthly a touching little allegory, The mourning veil. In December, 1858, the first chapter of The minister's Wooing appeared in the same magazine. Simultaneously with this story was written The Pearl of Orr's Island, published first as a serial in the Independent. She dictated a large part of The minister's Wooing under a great pressure of mental excitement, and it was a relief to her to turn to the quiet story of the coast of Maine, which she loved so well. In February, 1874, Mrs. Stowe received the following words from Mr. Whittier, which are very interesting in this connection: When I am in the mood for thinking deeply I read The Minister's Wooing. But The Pearl of Orr's Island is my favorite. It is the most charming New England idyl ever written. The minister's Wooing was received with universal commendation from the first, and called forth the following appreciative words from the pen of Mr. James

Then in time he was called to Brooklyn, just as the crisis of the great anti-slavery battle came on, and the Fugitive Slave Law was passed. I was then in Maine, and I well remember one snowy night his riding till midnight to see me, and then our talking, till near morning, what we could do to make headway against the horrid cruelties that were being practiced against the defenseless blacks. My husband lmed. He has something magnetic about him that makes everybody crave his society,--that makes men follow and worship him. I remember being at his house one evening in the time of early flowers, and in that one evening came a box. of flowers from Maine, another from New Jersey, another from Connecticut,all from people with whom he had no personal acquaintance, who had read something of his and wanted to send him some token. I said, One would think you were a prima donna. What does make people
