Mrs. Saxe, a worthy and devoted woman, was most dear to him and her sudden death contributed above all else to the gloom that enshrouded his later years. To her the poet dedicated the Diamond edition of his poems (1874) as follows : " To my Best Friend, (A Diamond Edition of a Woman,) I Inscribe This Diamond Edition of the Poems of Her Husband J. G. S." The daughters are described as extremely beau- tiful girls. Of the three Miss Sarah was perhaps the wittiest and most brilliant, while Miss Har...- riet was more quiet in her tastes and attainments. John, the eldest son, graduated from Vermont Univei'sity in 1862. He was a member of Lamb- da Iota and took high rank as a student. He was exceptionally bright and once or twice turn- ed his hand to writing verse, but his literary 47 efforts were persistently discouraged by hie father, and he soon relinquished them. Upon his grad- uation he engaged in the lumber business with his uncle Charles in Troy, New York. Mr. Saxe had a lounge made to order, to ac- commodate his great length and after supper, clad in dressing gown and slippers, he would often throw himself upon it with some such re- mark as, " Now if any one is happier than I am I'd like to see him." His domestic contentment frequently shines forth in his verses in the ex- pression of such sentiments as this: I see a group of boys and girls Assembled round tbe knee paternal, With ruddy cheeks and tangled curls, And manners not at all supernal.
