Mrs. Stowe’s Greatest Work.

Harriett Beecher Stowe, her life, her
work and her fame belonged so entire-
ly to a generation! past :that the an-
nouncement last week of her death,
awakened only reminiscences. _

Mrs. Stowe devoted many 53m)
the practice of novel writing and the
novels which she wrote in how
with accurate knowledge and] 22m

' tion of the New England life into which

she was born and with well trained :lit.
erary skill, were among the_ strongest
that any American woman at thalflirie
had done; yet the whole series of them
from “The Minister’s Wooing” to
“Poganuc People,” are all but forgot-
ten to-day as we recall that first crude,
artificial meolodrama that flashed red-
hot from the young New England Wo-
man’s imagination, stimulated by the
fierce controversy amid which she
lived; and lighted a fi zme of anti-slave-
ry sentiment that was not quenched till
slavery was destroyed.

It would be difficult for one reading
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” now, and con-
sidering it as literature, to understand
the impression that it made forty odd
years ago. There had been descrip-
tions of slave life and polemics against
slavery quite as outspoken, but they
had reached the ears only of a few.
Mrs. Stowe gave to the abstract appeals
of the abolitionists a concrete form and
force; she made it a personal concern.
She was portraying the wrongs and
sufi’erings of individuals, that appealed
to the human sympathy of men and wo-
men everywhere.

Not all the orators, the preachers, the
pamphleteers, the j--urnalists together,
had made so far-reaching an impression
as was made by this scarcely known
novelist. The Southern people dc"-
nounced the story as libelous, but it hit
the mark. It was read, and discussed
and talked about, and in New England
and the West particularly, the public
accepted and believed it and took up
the cause of Uncle Tom and his com-
rades with a fervor they never could
have felt for the wrongs of an enslaved
face. '

Of all the brave soldiers in those pre-
liminary battles against slavery in
America that led up to and prepared
for its final overthrow, it is thus possible
to speak of Mrs. Stowe as second to
none in the effectiveness of the blow
she struck. Critically viewed, her suc-
cess was more in time and occasion than
in purpose and skill, for :the sequel to
“Uncle Tom” was not a success and
her subsequent literary work took a
different range. None§the less, in that
first fervid deliverance, she fired a shot
heard round the world, andlshe had the
rare fortune to live élongilenough not
only to gain the personalfireward of her
work, but to perceive its public fruits.

The conditions: she described have
disappeared. and if their memory sur-
vives, it is mainly through the medium
of her book. She survived as well the
animosities that the bookfiexcited or out
of which it grew, and though [her last
years were cloudedflotherwise, the
clouds could not obscure the sunshine
of afi'ectionate esteem by which she was
surrounded. A '

of city life. "

It is said that the quiver of the aspen’s
leaves is due to the fact of the leaf stalk
being flat on the sides and so thin
about the middle that the slightest
breath of wind sets all the leaves wag-
ging horizontally. A single leaf plucked
OE and taken by the end of the leaf
stalk between the thumb and forefinger
admirably illustrates the peculiarity
of the aspen.

'WaIr can be declared only by congress
—that is, both houses must pass abill-

ate on June 17 by 19 to 13 votes. Mad-

A Ludlow (Vt) merchant encourages
