I remember going out once, and, on re-entering, Mrs. Barbauld addressed me sym- pathetically on my affliction in being murdered by the one who owed me most, and another lady congratulated me on my ability in writing a short letter, full of meaning, from which I gathered that I was Julius Caesar. A young friend stayed a short time with us before her marriage, and Mrs. Barbauld was, as became a poetess, interested in the love affair and the wedding gifts. In compliance with the request of the giv...er of a pair of sugar-tongs, the following epigram was written by our kind neighbour : 'To Mrs. , with a Pair of Sugar-tongs. 1 To greet with gifts your marriage state These tongs your kind acceptance wait ; But "Where's the sugar?" should you ask. The sweets to find must be your task. ' HER 'EVENINGS AT HOME. ' 89 Mrs. Barbauld had a true poetical feeling for plants and natural things. As she was walking in our garden, I gathered a bunch of violets, which she accepted kindly, but said, as she placed them in the bosom of her dress, that she always felt a hesitation in gathering flowers which were in full bloom and beauty, and possibly enjoyment, on the stalk, but which died so soon.
