I wonder you remember her words so well, said Mr. James. She cortain- ly, was a sensible woman. Indeed she was replied his wife, but yet that was a different matter from doing fancy work in the • evening. Many cf her good talks come to me now and are whelp to me, and if I had only acted on them all I should be a perftct character, I suppose. She was a wonderful woman •• and every one among those first classes at Vas- sar will testify. Her talks to the scholars on a great variety of subjects were invaluable.
