From the Englishwoman'* Journal.
BOEN at Watertown, in the State of
Massachusetts, in the year 1831, Harriet
Hosmer is the only surviving daughter
of a physician, who, having lost wife and
child by consumption, and fearing a like
fate for the survivor, gave, her horse, dog,
gun and boat, and^Jnsisted upon an out
doors' life as ind^spensible to health. A
fearless horsewoman, a good shot, an adept
in rowing, swimming, diving and skating,
Harriet Hosmer/is
a
signal instance of
what judicious physical training will effect
in conquering even hereditary taint of
constitution. ^Willingly as the active,
energetic child,.acquiesced in her father's
wishes, she contrived, at the same time,
to gratify and develop her own peculiar
tastes and nnv.ny a time and oft, when

true is it that the child is father of the
man.
Full of fun and frolic, numerous anec
dotes are told of practical jokes perpetrated
to such-an excess that Dr. Hosmer, satis
fied with the progress towards health and
strength his child had made, and having
cndeavored,: without success, to place her
under tuition in daily and weekly schools
near home, determined to commit her to
the care of Miss Sedgwick, of Lenox,
Massachucetts. Thither the young lady,
having been expelled from one school,
and given over as incorrigible at another,
was-accordingly sent, with strict injunc
tions that health should still be a para
mount consideration, and that the new
pupil rhould have liberty to ride and
walk, shoot aud swim, to her heart's eon
tent. In wiser or kinder hands the young
girl could not have been placed. Here,
too, she met with Mrs. Fanny Kemble,
whose influence tended to strengthen and
develop her already decided tastes and
predilections. To Mrs. Kemble wo have

upon Boston and Bostonians was, about
this time, attributed to Miss Hosmer,
while a practical joke upon a physician
The rather uncertain visits of this physi-1
cian proved a source of great annoyance
and some real inconvenience to his patient,
inasmuch as they interfered with her rides
and drives, shooting and boating excur
sions. Having borne with the inconveni
ence some time, she requested the gentle
man, as a great favor, to name an hour for
his call, that she might make her arrange
ments accordingly. The physician agreed,
but punctuality- is not always at the
command of professional men. Matters
were as bad as ever. Sometimes the
twelve o'clock appointment did not come
off till three o'clock in the afternoon. A
playful quarrel took place between physi
cian and patient, and, as he rose to take
his leave and offered another appointment,
Miss Hosmer insisted upon his giving his
word to keep it.
"If I am alive," said he, 'I will be
here/' naming some time on a certain
day.
"Then if you are not here/1 was the
reply, "I am to conclude that you are
dead/'
Thus they parted. The day and hour
arrived, but no doctor made "his appear

into Boston, and next morning the papers
announced the decease of Dr.
Popular, both in his public and private
capacity, half Boston and its neighborhood
rushed *o the physician's house to leave
cards and messages of condolence for the
family, and to enquire into the cause of
the sudden and lamentable event.
In 1350, being then nineteen years of
age, Harriet Hosmer left Lenox. Mrs.
Sedgwick's judicious treatment, and the
motive and encouragement supplied by
Mrs. Kemble, had gjveu the right impe
tus to that activity of mind and body
which needed only guiding and directing
into legitimate channels. She returned
to her father's hou-:e, at Watertown, to
pursue her art-studies, and to fit herself
for the career she had resolved upon fol
lowing.. There was at this time a cousin
of Miss Hosmer's studying with her fath
er, between whom and herself existed a
hearty camaraderie. Together' the two
spent many hours in dissecting legs and I
arms, and in making acquaintance with
the human frame, Dr. l.osnier havin^
erected a smali building at the bottom of
his garden to facilitate these studies.—

repair to Boston, a distance of seven or
eight miles—and anatomical studies with
her cousin, alternated with the inevitable
rides and boating, on which her father
wisely insisted* The river Charles runs
immediately before the hou e, and on this
river Harriet Hosmer had a boat-bouse,
containing a safe broad boat, and a fragile
poetical-looking gondola, with silvered
prow, the delight of her heart and the
terror of her less experienced rnd unswim
ming friends. The life of the young
girl was at this period full of earnest
pUrpos:- and noble ambition, aud the un
tiring energy and perseverance which
distinguish.her now in sc remarkable a
degree were at this time evidenced and
developed. Having modelled one or two
copies from the antique, she next tried
her hand on a portrait bust, and then cut
Canova's bust of Napoleon in marble,
working it entirely with her own hand*
that she might make herself mistress of
the process. Her .father, seeing her de
voted to her 'studies, seconded them in
every possible Way, and proposed to send
her to his friend, Dr. McDowell, Profes
sor of Anatomy to the St Louis College,
that she might go through a course of reg
ular instruction, and thus be thoroughly
grounded for the branch of art she "had
chosen, The young artist was but too
glad to close with the offer and, in the
autumn of 18oO, we find her in St. Louis,
residing in the family of her favorite
schoolmate from Lenox,winnins the hearts
of all its members by her frank, joyous
nature and steady application, and secur
ing, in the head of it, what she heartily
and energetically calls "the best friend I
ever had."
Her independence of manner and char

the college as a student, could not fail" to
bring down animadversion, and many were
the taifcs fabricated-and circulated anent
the young New Englander, who wa« said
to carry pistols in her belt, and to be pre

protected by such a character. The col

Dr.. McDowel, charmed with the talent 1 tug its growth beneath
and earnestness of bis pupil, afforded her young mother watches st
encouraging it is to find men
of ability and eminence so willing to help
a woman when she is willing to.help her
self. The career of this young artist
hitherto has been marked by the warm
and generous encouragement of first-rate
men, from McDowel to John Gibson, and
pleasant is-i«'to find the affectionate and
grateful appreciation of such kindness con
verting the temporary tie of master and
pupil into the permanent one of tried and
valued friendship. "I remember Profess
or McDowel/' writes Miss flo mer, "with
great affection and gratitude, as being a
most thorough teacher, as well as at all
times a good friend.
Through the winter and spring of 1851,
in fact during the whole term, Harriet
Hosmer prosecuted her studies with unre
miting zeal and attention, and at the close
was presented with a "diploma," or, as we
in England should call it, a certificate, tes
tifying her auatomical efficiency. During
her stay at St. Louis, and as a testimony
of her gratitude and regard, Miss Hosmer
cut, from a bust of Professor McDowel, by
Clevinger, a medallion in marble life size,
which is now in the museum of the col
lege. It is, perhaps, worthy of noLe that
Clevinger and Powers both studied anato
my under this professor.
The "diploma" achieved, our young as
pirant was bent upon seeing New Orleans
before returning to her New England
home. It was a season of the year not fa
vorable for such travel, and, from one
cause and another she failed in inducing
any of her friends to accompany her. To
will and to do are synonymous with some,
and so Harriet Hosmer, having set her
mind upon an excursion down the Missis
sippi to the Oresent City, embarked her
self one fine morning on board a steamer
bound for. New Orleans. The river was
shallow, the navigation difficult many a
boat did our adventurous traveller' pass
high and dry but fortune, as u.mal, was
with her, and she reached her destination
in safety. The weather was intensely
warm, but, nothing daunted, our young
friend saw all that was to be seen, return
ing at night to sleep on board the steamer
Kv & ifcs place by the levee, and at
On her return to St. Louis, where her
prolonged absence had created no little un
easiness, she remained but a short time,
and, bidding farewell to her kind friends,
retraced her steps homeward.
This was in the summer of 1851. No
sooner had Harriet Hosmer reached home
than she set to work to model an ideal
bust of Hespur, continuing her anatomical
studies with her cousin, and employing
her intervals of leisure and rest in reading,
writing and boating. Now followed a
period of earnest work, cheered and in
spired by'those visions of success, of pur
pose fulfilled, of high aims realized, which
haunt the young and enthusiastic aspirant,
and throw a halo round the youthful days
of genius which lends a color to the
whole career. As Lowell wisely and poet
ically says:
Great dreams preclude low ends.
Better to aspire and fail than not to as
pire at alb Better to know the dream and
grave on the plane of content with things
as they are. There may be aspiration
without genius, there cannot be genius
without aspiration and where 'genius is
backed by industry and perseverance, the
aspiration of one period will meet, its reali
zation in another.

work. It wais late summer in 1S52 before
Hesper was fully completed.
"Now," said its author to her father,
"I am ready to go to Rome."
"And go you shall, my child, this very
autumn," was the reply.
Anxious as Dr llosmtr was to facilitate
in every way the career his daughter had
chosen, there was yet another reason for
going to Italy before winter set in. Study
and nervous anxiety had made their im
pression upon a naturally delicate constitu
tion, and a short dry cough alarmed the
worthy doctor for his child's health.
October of 1852 saw father and daugh
ter on their way to Europe, the St. Louis
diploma and dagfierrotype of Hesper be
ing carefully stowed away, in the safjst cor
ner,of the portmanteau, as evidences of
what the young artist had already ac
hieved, when, arrived at Komo she should
seek the instruction of one of two masters,
whose fame, rid-wide, could only sat
isfy our aspirants ambition. So eager
was her desir" to reach Rome, that a week
only was given to Eugkadj when, joining
some friends in ['aris, the wbole party pro
ceeded to Homo, arriving in the Eternal
City on the evening of October 12,1852.
Within two days the dagderrotypes
were placed in the hands of Mr. Gibson,
as he sat at breakfast in the Cafe Greco,
ja famous place of resort fpr artists.

Encouraged by this, the }Toung sculptor
who bad undertaken to present them
proceeded to explain Miss Homer's in
tentions aud wishes, what she had already
done, and what she hoped to do. Stili
Mr. Gibson remaned silent. Finally,
closing the cases,
"Send the young lady to me/' said he,
"and whatever I know and can teach
her she shall learn."
hi less than a week Harriet Hosmer
was fairly installed in Mr. Gibson's stu
dio, in the upstairs room we have al
already described, and where she still
is, though, rapidly outgrowing the space
alloted to her. It is difficult, however
for master and pupil, or,we should rath
er say for the two friends to part for
spite of the difference of years, or per
haps in consequence of it, a truly pa
ternal and filial affection has sprung up
between the two, a source of great hap
piness to themselves, and of pleasure
and amusemeut to all who know and
value them, from the curious likeness, yet
unlikeness, which existed from the first in
Miss Hosmer to Mr. Gibson, and which
daily intercourse has not tended to lessen.
The first winter in Rome was passed in
modelling from the antique^ Mr Gibson
desiring to assure himself of the correct
ness of Miss Homer's eye, and the sound
ness of her knowledge, Hesper evincing
the possession of the imaginative and crea-
softness of flesh, saying, upon one occasion,
that he had never seen it surpassed, and
not often equalled.
Her#first attempt at original design in
Rome was a bust of Daphne, quickly.suc

beatiful Medusa—and a lovely thing it is,
faultless in form, and intense in its express
ion of horror and agony, without trench
