The Golden Age for March 8, 1906. “Or from Browning some ‘Pomegranate,” which if cut deep down the middle, Show a heart within blood-tinctured, of a varied humanity.” Miss Barrett had always been a staunch admirer and advocate of Robt. Browning. In writing about an adverse criticism of his work which ap peared in the “London Atheneaum” of April 22, 1843, she says: “It seems to me hard on Browning. I do assjure you I never saw him in my life—do not know him even by correspondence, and yet, whether through fellow-feeling for Eleusian mysteries, or whether through the more generous motive of appreciation of his powers, I am very sensitive to the thousand and one stripes with which the assembly of critics doth expound its vocation on him; and the “Ath.” for instance, made me quite cross and misan thropical last week.” This seems really curious in the light of what the future held for these two remarkable persons. Mr. Browning determined to meet the writer of Lady Geraldine’s Court ship, and although Miss Barrett was seeing absolutely no strangers at this time, she made an exception in favor of Mr. Browning, and the story of their meeting is told in one of her beautiful personal letters, which has been published. As is well known, however, the marriage of the Brownings was an ideal one, and history does not give us the record of a more perfect union. Health returned to Mrs. Browning in fuller measure than she had known for many years, and the birth of her beautiful baby boy was the crowning bliss of a life which, despite its many pangs of physical and mental suffering, was still a singularly blessed one. Both Mr. and Mrs. Browning did their best work after their marriage. They lived almost entirely in Italy, and Mrs. Browning became an ardent companion of Italian liberty, for the attainment of which she used the best efforts of her pen. It is to be deplored that her interest and enthusiasm should have been enlisted in a cause, the influence of which on the history of the world has been comparatively slight. But Mrs. Browning’s interest was largely that of a humanitarian, and from her earliest years she had given much thought to great public questions, especially to those relating to the moral welfare of the people. Perhaps the best work she did in this direction was the “Cry of the Children,” a protest against the employment of chil dren in mines and factories, and her poems relating to the Italian questions, all of which have the same general aim—moral regeneration. Casa Guida Windows is the most noted of these, but “Nap. 111. in Italy,” “A Fall of Villa Franca,” “The North and the South,” with several shorter poems are all worthy of mention. Aurora Leigh is Mrs. Browning’s most ambitious work. It is divided into nine books, and is a novel in verse, with a well-defined and excellently sustained plot. It is perhaps a trifle too long, but Ruskin called it “the greatest poem ever published in English. ’ ’ In reviewing the life work of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, those of her poems which impress themselves most forcibly on our minds are the ones which are illumined by the light of her own pure soul, and which reflect the radiance of the “love which crowned her life.” No one is so callous or so careless that he can fail to be thrilled by the “Sonnets from the Portuguese” (so-called to partly veil their true origin). No language ever produced more perfect love poems, and surely none more clearly portrayed the real sentiment of the writer. Mrs.. Browning died at Florence, June 29, 1861, after an illness very simi lar to many other she had had, and it was a shock which was felt throughout the entire world of letters, when the news of her death reached England. On the grey old walls of Casa Guida, at Florence, where she had lived for so many years, the people of that city, in accordance with an old but rarely revived custom had this inscription placed: “Here wrote and died Elizabeth Barrett Browning, who, in the heart of a woman, united the scholar’s learning and the poet’s genius, and made with her verses a golden bond between Italy and England. To her memory grateful Florence has erected this tablet.” Echoes From Yankee Doodle and Dixie. A grizzly old citizen of Dixie recently joined a great excursion to the dark Bostonian shore. He was dressed like a prince in his big slouched hat, and his immense coat, that covered his body as the waters cover the great deep. And his striped vest encircled his body like the belts of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. Boston received the excursionists with open arms, and with greetings warm and gushing. Clam chowder and baked beans flowed like milk and honey, and were washed down with the choicest juices of the apple and the grape. During the festivities of the day the veteran of Dixie was shown all the sights of Boston by a side-whiskered veteran of Yankee Doodle. On the rounds there was many a pause and many a toast, and many an interchange of provincialisms, such as “I cain’t,” and “I con’t,” “I won’t,” and “I wun’t,” “I reekin” and “I guess,” until they reached the battlefield of Bunker Hill. The veteran of Yankee Doodle pointed out all the scenes of interest on the famous battlefield. He pointed to where the lines of breast works v T ere thrown up. He pointed to where Prescott received the charge of the British, and finally paused at the great monument of Bunker Hill, and said. “Here is the spot where General Warren fell.” Old “Slouch hat” looked up in astonishment: “What! General Warren fell there?— How high is that there monument?” “It is 221 feet high, sir.” “Je-ru-sa-lem! No wonder it killed him!”—Bob Taylor’s Magazine.
