Onee the pride of respectable parentage, her first wrong step was the small beginning qf the “came old story over again,” which has been the only life-history of thousands, Highly educated and ac- complished in manners, she might have shone in the best of soclety. it the evil hour that proved her ruin was the door from childhood, and having spent a_young life in disgrace and shame, the poor friend- ess one died the melancholy death {of a broken-hearted outcast. Among her personal effects was found in manuscript *“The Beautiful snow,” which was immediately car- ried to Enos 13, Reed, a gentleman of culture and literary tastes, who was at that time editor o the National Union. 1o the columns of that pa- per, on the morning of the day fol- lowing the girl's death, the poem ap- peared in print for the first time. When the paper containing the poem on Sunday morning, the body of the victim had not yet re- ceived burial. The attention of "hemas Buchanan Read, one of the first of American poets, was soon di- rected to the newly-published lines, who was so taken with their stirring e ont | the corpse to its final resting place. Such are the plain facts concern- ing her whose “Beautiful Snow” shall lony be remembered as one of | pjjjing the heart with a wail of de- the brightest gems in American literature.
