I doubt whether one could be ' procured In any book store, other than those which make a feature of antiquarian literature. Yet Margaret as the friend and intellec tual companion of Emerson, Thomas Wenthorne Hirglnson. Lonr fellow and Hawthorne. Probably it was largely to ner association wun this Olympian com pany, to which may be . added such lesser lights as James Freeman Clarke, Horace Greeley, George William Cur tis, and William Henry Channing, that she owes ber measure of fame. A man la 0 known by the company ; he keeps, and Margaret's company was so dis tinctly literary' that wheri a famous Bos ton publlshingrttfftise planned- a series of biographies of "American Men of Letters" , the name of Margaret Puller, with a fine disregard of sex appeared early in the list of volumes. Besides, Hawthorne saw fit to draw ' from her the character of Zenobla in his "Blithe dale Romance.--!i-rCiK-T-- t Margaret . Fuller was born ln Cam bridge ln 1I0' ; Her family were typl cal ,Boatonlans. Her father. ' "Jeff er sonian Democrat," was a devoted ad herent of Jtjhn Qulncy Adams, and rep resented the Middlesex district in con gress for one term. - For the rest he was " a moderately prosperous lawyer with , what was then considered a gen tleman's taste for. the classics a taste which has disappeared before golf and the magazines, r; Accordingly, he vset Margaret to: studying Latin at six, permitting as tight reading Shakespeare, Cervantes, and Moliere. Some portions of Shakespeare were held to be frivo lous, and Margaret records having "been sent to bed in disgrace when detected In reading "Romeo and Juliet'- on Sun day, In later years, - writing of this severe intellectual regimen for a child not yet ten years old, Margaret said : "I certainly do not wish that instead of these masters I had read baby books,' written down to children, but I cer tainly do wish that I had read no books at all till later that I bad lived, with toys and played in the open air." Naturally , precocious and forced by this hothouse training, Margaret had a miserable time when she left the home tutelare and went tn uf hnni at, was intellectually in advance of her playmates, and ' socially far behind those with whom she recited. "My book life and lonely habits hail riv.n a cold aloofness, to my whole expression and veiled my manner with a hauteur wnicn turnew au nearts away. ?

And Emerson again, arter she had paid him a visit, wrote, "I remember that she made roe laugh more than I liked. She had an Incredible variety of anecdotes, and the readiest wit to give an absurd turn to whatever passed; and tha eyes "which were so plain at first, soon swam with fun and drolleries and the very tides bf Joy and superabund ant life." . . . ..; . You may scan her writings 'in vain for any sign of that wit or humor. . Reaching the years of womanhood Margaret began the usual ? career . Of the New England spinster s1i became a teacher. ; That ; her mental attain ments were wide is sufficiently shown by the list of languages she taught Latin and French at the school, and French German, and : Italian to pri vate classes were her tasks. . She must have taught successfully, toe, and not tn rthe ' perfunctory fashion in which languages are so often taught today, for she "thought it good success when at the end of three months a class of beginners .could read twenty , pages of German at a lesson, and very well." For light reading at home she chose Homer - in the Greek, Yet she was not oblivious to the lighter things of life. An anecdote la current of a visit which she paid in company - with Ralph Waldo Emerson to the theatre to Bee a famous French . danseuse. The bal let waa not then quite a common spec tacle in Boston, and the New England conscience looked askance on pink fleshings. But in the midst of the pas seule Emerson turned to his companion; "Margaret, that Is poetry," Bald he, "No. Ralph," she responded, "it is religion."- ' - "'a . . , ,-.,. In Margaret went to Europe the fulfilment of a life-long deslro. There she .met men and women of gen; lus, such as Thomas Carlyle and George Sand-i-"a long, lean, lilting, old maid," thetlhejsea philosopher called her. More important, however, she also met her fate in the person of the young. Marquis to wnom arter a romantic court ship she was married. He was a Catholic, and such Inheritance as he expected might have been lost to hi'm had the fact of his marriage been known, so it was concealed even after a child had been born. The times were lurouient. The Italian revolution of ikis was In progress; and Ossoll was a captain in the Ciylc Guard stationed in Rome. Margaret - retired tn a place in the Apennines at the time of tne nirin ot ner cniia, Dut returned Just in time to be caught in tho siege of the Imperial City by the French, who Were there to reestablish the authority Of the-pope. Ossoll was on duty with his corns: Maraaret worked i. a nun. in the hospital and Mrs. W. W. Story, wne or tne zamous American sculptor in Rome, has recorded that she was a favorite With the wounded whna naina She alleviated. All the While she wan cAtfiaplna- m. tertal for a history of the Italian strug gle for independence, and when -the war. ended in failure she repaired - to B'lorence and there wrote a large part of the book., It soon became evident that a visit to the United stnt wm.M be necessary to secure a publisher, and wUkhee. uaUaad4ltil4y-an4-ntr-ehe took ship for the' United States. The voyage was, long two months but not particularly tempestuous until Its end was well-nigh reached, Running Into a gale off the treacherous shouls- of Fire Island, the ship became a totaj wreck, and all the passengers the" Oat soils and a brother of Senator 8umner perished in the sea. The destruction Of the ship was hastened by the fact that in Its hold was carried the sculptor Powers's famous statue - "The Greek Slave." The Ossolls bad been warned that so heavy a bulk of marble might endanger the ship, but had persisted in making the voyage. , It is probable that in no society ex cept that of Boston in the .first half of the nineteenth century could a fame like that of 'Margaret Fuller have been builded. Nothing she did was perma nent. Her books are fustian and the Dial, which she edited, stands only on the shelves of professed bibliophiles. The manuscript of her most ambitious work, a history of the Italian revolu tion; was lost with .her in. the ehlp wreck. Tet she had the utmost 'faith ln the power of her mind and the solid ity of her reputation. To the aston ished Emerson she once remarked, "I now know all the people ln America worth knowing, and I find no Intellect comparable to my, own," And yet that daizli ng intellect 4ias - left no mon u ment ; Because of his wife's poor health and a change of climate necessary, Rev.-.E. Nelson Allen, for the past 19 years pas tor of the Hawthorne Part Presbyterian church,. East Twelfth and East Taylor streets, yesterday formally submitted his resignation to the congregation of the church. This . Is to take effect next June, when he, With his family, will leave for Southern Arkansas to apend several months with his brother on a cotton plantation. ' Although DrlAlIen had been consider ing this move for several months,, no definite action was taken until last Wednesday night, when a special meet ing of a number of tho church' members was held. It was not until yesterday, however, during his sermon, that the majority of the members learned of his resignation.::-'.; , . -.-; -v-:-",!w K'1 "My wife has been suffering from the results of la grippe during the past year, and a warmer climate is necessary." said Dr. Allen this morning.
