I wa one day dreamingly regnrding the fire,
when my friend, H-trry Conway, came in looking
inexpressi My -woe begone.
' What's the matter Hal I I said cheerily, 'has
Lizzy jilted yoti ?' . . . ...
You've hit it, he replied moodily-. . To day
when I asked her to be my partner on our sleigh
ride she cruelly told me that she was engnged with
Ned Hammersley.'
"Rather strange,"! said. 'Surely she don't
mean to prefer that conceited fool to you ? '
I wish 1 bad never seen her,'1 said H-trry,
I've been in torture for a month post wishing to
ask her to be. mine, and yet withheld by the fear
of a refusal. And now. the suspense is over ; but
oh! how fatally..- She despises my su't.V
Wot to last Harry,. 1 answered, 'i am a
married man and claim to kn w something of the
gentler sex; nnd there is nothing mure certain
han that a womnn frequently means the very re
verse of what she does.1
' Then you don't believe that Lizzie scorns me?
said my f.tend eagerly. . .
I do not. On the contrary, I fancy that sh
like you nay! more than haif loves you.'
God b'ess you for these words cried Harry
f linking my hand rapturously. You have mnde
new man of me. But almost immediately his
countenance fell, Bnd he added, Yet w hat "did
she mean by engaging to go with H-iminersley?
She knew vey well I intended to ask her.'
Perhaps,' I saiJ qjietly,' 'there' the pinch
Young Indies now-a-davs don't like to have it
thoucht that any time will do to ask them. When
I war n bachelor Harry, and -wished a fnir cmn
pnoion fr a sleigh ride, I took very good care that
noone asked her before I did.'
A precious fool I've been, Baid Harry.
Thnt's a true word, if ever you smke one,' said
I laughing. 'You knw no more about oourtin
than a cat does of nstronomy. The caso is this
my dear fI1oW. ' Lizzie is piqued, and thouih she
had a enod riuht to be so ,ierhRrs, ynu innit not
allow her, for all thnt, to get the ndvautnge of ynu
If she flirts yon must couiiterflii t; and so go in
the parlor at once nnd nek Miss Lawrence to he
your partner, you'll find hnr and my wile at their
crotchet-work ; and hurk a secret in your ear.
My pretty cousin U engnged, though it is rot
known here; so there'll be no harm dune, flnt us
hard at you will. . .... .
- Now Mis Lawrence was a beauty, nnd also
an heiress. Her home was in New York, but
she haiicdme to spend Christmas among our hills,
and great had been the sensation which she hai
created; for, in truth there wns no one to compare
wiih her. In the whole country except Lizzy her
self.' ."" : '."'.'. ' . '
After much persuasion Harry consented to my
plan. Fortunately niy fur cousin had made no
engagement for the ride. When harry had gone,
I let Miss Lawrence into the secret.
'Now' said I 'ynu must, assist me to make this
match. Lizzy love Harry, there is no doubt; but
she has everything her own way here,'
to Cestral frtellistaee, Miscellancons Reading,
RAVENNA WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER
'As all belle should,' saucily interru.ed my
cousin. A ' ; " ' '
! 'Agreed, said I. 'except when it ie go'mg to make
them unhappy for lift Harry is very sensitive,
and a little flirting wiI not frighten him off altogeth
er. - The thing is to. make Lizzy jealous, and so
repay her in her own coin. After that she'll easi
er come to terms.
' 'For once, I suppose, I must turn traitor to my
sex, said Miss Lawrence, laughing.
The eveuing for the sleigh -ride came, and was
night among a thousand. Th.-re was not n cloud
in the sky, and the winter moon shone clear and
beautiful; the air was .old as zero, but still; the
landscape looked like dream-land. It wrs a sight
to make an old man yonng again, to see the Bleighs
dashing to and fro through the village streets, tol
leo'ing their lovely freight; whilo the merry jingle
of the bells made the blood dance jnyously in the
veins. ' : -. ' L. '- '- : '.- '
Away want tfte'-ggy 'cavalcnde.'' Most -of the
belles and' beaux were distributed ihiough three
enormous sleighs, and. to judge from the incessant
mirth kept up, were crazy wiih fuo. "There
were half a dozen single tieigh. however; and
among these were Harry's and Hammreley"s. -
L'zzy looked astonished as I suspected she
would. when t.he snw who Harry's companion wiis.
She knew that Miss Lawrence was quite equal
horsell in beauty, nnd superior in fortune, and a
shade of a'arm stole nzer her face. But Blie ilis
eiiised it -cleverly, under an additional - giiety of
manner; was wittier than ever; and talked ns if
she was the happiest of the h ppyi : '" -
My fair cousin played her putt, meantime, to
admiration. Every body thOBijlit that Harry had I
ni'ide conquest; and not a few complimented
him, even in Lizzy's hearing on his good fortune.
But he himself vas less elated. . ; ;
We're c irrytng it too far, he said to me anx
iously. 'Lizzy don mind me n bir. She's really
half in love with Hammersley. Soe how she leans
on his arm and looks rp into his face.'
- So did- Miss Lawrence, five minutes ago,' to
you; bu-I yet she's in love with nnother. - Ah!
Harry ; wemen are torn cheats. . I'll wager now
that L'zzy is as uneasy as yrurself." '
1 wish I could think so, sighed Harry. " -Keep
up your' flirtation, 1 said, and don't be
he first t cive in -
I would have said "more, bnt nt thnt moment, a
cry of fire rang startling through the ball room; nnd
looking up, I saw, from the huge volumes of smoke
pouring info the door-WHy, that the hall was in
flames. Simultaneously a voice cried - that the
stair-case ws on fire, and retreat in th it direction
cut off. 9 It seems that while we had been dancing
candle had fallen, and the fire got headway un
detected. - : -'' --' ' "
We must escnpe by the wir.dowa, Hirry,' 1
cried. J Fortunately the roof of the porch is just
beneath them and the descent thence .not - fir,
while 'he snow wiil break the jump. I will look
fter my wife; you take Miss L-iwrenee. .
But Harry had already disappeared. As, at
that instant. I caught sight of my wife I thought o
more of him ; but putified through tho affrighted
crowd, in order to jia her. . In another moment
he was safe on the ground, and with her Miss
rvroneo, wl.-m 1 f""")) i-eln her. tlavinu
redcuod them, I hastened buck to render whut
assist ac co I coulJ to others. .
I hal scaicoly, hjwever, regained the bull
rroin, when I saw a wild form dashing by ; but I had
hardly recoguizej it as that of Lizzy, . when she
fell into the arms of a gentleman udvanciug quite
s wildly from the opposite liii ec'ioo. .. . ,
'O i! save me, save nie,' she cried bewildered
with tsTor; an 1 with that sunk senseless.' '-
Could I beaeve my eyes? Yo! it was Harry.
not H itniiiei jley , into wii iee arras she had fulien.
Nor had it been a mistake. Th it g'anca of roli
ance and love which she gave my friend, ere she
fainted, wits eloquent of the contrary, -:
You did'nt seem to think of Miss Lawrence
said I, slyly, to Harry, when nil having safely es

To the Strictures of the .Veto York Observer, vpon
the allusion made in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to
the Rce. Joel Parker. '"' Costistjf.d
I must plead guilty to a delay of a few days in
re-presenting lier card to Dr. PurkeK -Aside from
the eare of s pastoral charge like mine, I was on
t he eve of a visit to the West, Bod io the various
preparations I let my sister's letter slip my mem
ory until the 10th oi June. During thi delay.
Dr. Parker not unnaturally became impatient, and
addressed the following letter to Professor Stowe :
Dr. Parker to Profissor Stowe. ' "
' New York, June 5, 1852.
Dear Sir: Yours of the 29ih of May came to
hand on Monday last. I then hoped that Mrs.
Stowe would do me justice, and no further corres-.
pondence would be necessary. " '
I am disappointed. " - "
In reply to your, 1 wVI proceed to give you a
succinct history of the whole mat'er down to tlie
preseut date.- After my fir.-t letter to Mrs. Siowe,
under date of 8th of May, 1 waited till the 19th
for a reply, and received none. ' I then addressed
to her a second communication, going more into
details in respect to the wrong inflicted on me. I
waited umil the 24th. No answer. I then ad
dressed to her a third letter, begging her nnt to
compel me tu a course which would bring us into
conflict before the public. -'
On the evening of Jhe 25th, not having heard
-from Mrs. Stowe, I applied, by the advice of my
friends, to Mr. Banj. F. Butler, to act as my
counsel. I received, the next day. a response from
Mrs. S:owe, intimating that she Imd mailed a reply
i my second letter, tin twe Saturday ; previous.
which was the 22J." In thi letter of Mrs. Stowe,
(I mean the nnwer to my third,) she, in effect.
re-Hfijrmed the libel, and asserted that it was her
conviction, derived from facts and documents, and
living witnesses, that an issue before the nublic
would be far more unfortunate for me than fur
herself. -.' . - -. , - . . .-. ,0 i . : ,
My counsel, in the mean time, investigated the
whole case, and expressed a docided opinion that
the piragraph referred to in Mrs. Stowe' book
was clearly libelous; but, in the hope that tho mat
er might yet be amicably adjusted without the
necessity of a legal issue, he at his own instance.
hough with my consent, solicited a conference
with his friend, Mr. Barney, not as a lawyer, but
as a Christian, and as a friend of himself and also
of the Rev. H. W. Beeoher. Mr. Barney's ;kind
offices were secured. In consequence, as I sun-
-ose, of hisf interposition, Mr. H. W. Beeoher call
ed on my counsel, and soon lifter Mrs. Stowe ad
dressed to me a communication of a different and
more hopeful tone a letter containing concessions,
carefully guarded indeed, but still conoessions, with
a request thit I would call and see her. "-
I received this on the 29. h of May, and on the
same day I received, through tlie mail, the letter
referred to as having been mailed on the 221. In
my reply to Mrs.Stowe's request for an interview,
I addressed to her a note declining the interview,
and ordered it sent by mail.. ' Subsequently, and
on the same day, I changed my purpose, as think
ing it more kind to grant her request for a person
al interview, and ordered the letter stopped ; but
he letter, I am sorry to say, was afierwarda sent
hy mistake, wmch I did not learn till the everJin
after our interview. On the following Monday. 1
called on Mrs. Stowe. - She projmsed herself, and
drew up a card; conceding that injustice hud been
done me,- and offered to publish it. But she in
stated on adding to the concepsions other matter
relating to what she considered my prosition in re
spect to tle subject of slavery. " " - - '
To this I demurred, and drew a brief statement
that would be satisfactory to me, allowing her,' of
course, to say anything she chose in justification of
her motives. She did not object to my statement.
yet was unwilling to make lh.it statement Mime.
ut insisted on connecting with it a representation
of what she deemed my actual position in relatioi
to slavery, thus drawing off attention from the as
pect of a simple retraction of the wrong. Th;s I
could not accept as satisfactory. ' She withdrew
her card, but promised to write mo from New
Haven. . I have received nothing. - The letter that
Dr. Beecber thought would be satisfac.'ory, I pre
sume wus not sent me.
You are mistaken nbout the testimony which
you fancy mny be found to substantiate Mrs.
Stowe's allegation. An attempt to prove it will
only aggravate the libel. What I require is, that
without any side issue, without mixing up of this
l bl with other matters, Mrs. Stowe should simply
do me justice by retractins it. If you wieh any
further conference about it, please 'vrite tue im
mediately. Yours respectfully,
Joel Pabker.
Rev. C. E. S'owe, D. D. ' . '
To this Prof. Stowe replied as follows :

Yours of tho 5th inst. I have just taken fi on
the office. I am disappointed by it, fur 1 supposed,
fiom Mrs. Stowe's last note to me. the business
was adjusted. I am sure she thought so. I shall
immed'-ately cor-sult her father, and I hope very
soon t-i see her. I will write you again in a few
days the result of these consultations, and if need
be will come on and see you. I know sbe is a
Christian woman, and desires "only to do right
nd I trust yon are a Christian man, and have
only the same desire. It would be an everlasting
disgrace to nil parties concerned, and to the church
nf Chris: a grevious ecand !, to have any public
quarrel on this subject. It can and it must be
set'led privately. Dr. Beecher and myse'f are
both gnod friends to you. and nf course we both
hive Mr. Stowe ns our own heart's blond. Be pa
tient, then, tilt ynu bear from me again.
Truly, yours, C. E. Stowb.
Rev. Joel Parker, D-D.
Tl.ta closes Mrs. Stowe s active connection with
the negotiation, and introduces the letter which
have appeared in the Tiibune and independent,
and which Dr. Parker charges me with writing,
nnd wilh publishing without his kouwledge or con
sent. '
Before giving the history of that, I wish to make
a faw remnrks upon the h'story now gone over,
It appears, then
1. That Mrs. Siowe had bud nothing to da. with
changing Dr. Parker's language; tlmt it was a
form of limgunge that had been unoontradictedly
attributed to him since 1846, a poi iod of five years:
that it was universally believed to be a correct
presentation of his views ; thnt ibis belief wns not
dying nway, but slendily increasing; that this. Inn
guage did not belong to pnrtisBu abolition journals,
but that it appenred In the most reputable and
publicly trusted journals in America and in Eng
land; thnt it had boon received in Great Britain, In
9
--Whole -Ntiinbcr 1194
connection with the published opinions of other
men, as a fair exposition of the sentiments of A-
merican ministers on the subject pf slavery ; em
ployed as such, as the b.sis of ecclesiastical action;
and that ecclesiastical action justified in the public
papers by the citation of thi remark as evidence
of the atrocity of ministerial public opinion in A-
m erica that it hud returned to the United States
to re-appear, not only, iq newspapers, but id the
annual documents of the ; Anti-Slavery Society, as
a fact which, having pissed an ordeal of five years
growing circulation, was to be set down as received
history; that then. Mrs. Stowe inucceutly copied i
and that it tfriod for eight months before the public
in her story of Uucle Tom's Cabin, in the Natinn-
nl Era, just as it was in the book when Dr. Par
ker took it up; that it stood from the 20th of March
till the 8ih of May; in Jewett's edition of Uncle
Tom, a period of seven wetsks, before a word wa
lisped by Dr. Parker, to let any one-know that he
disowned the language and hasentimnt8 .i-.syr-
: Such an instance of literary silence we suspect
was never befire Known ; and there is noihing
which is a parallel to it, expect Dr. Parker's sub
sequent impatience to have it rectified when be
did awake." And we believe that the public will
decide, that if ever a case occurred in which nn
author might innocently fail into an error, tlpttcnse
was Mrs. Stowe's. Next will therefore come the
inquiry "But did Mrs. Stowe take all due mean
of .reparation, when the error was pointed out to
her?". She d:d. f -. .
We are prepared to notioe, now, the allega
tion that Mrs. Stowe refused to pay. any proper
attention to Dr. Parker's importunity ; that i-h-
refused to reply to his three letters; that shn treat
ed with silence his oC"-r of "documentary evidence
to prvte his innocence." - -- - ;
Fir it: Dr. Parker knew from the beinn-ng, nnd
now knows, that though Mr. Stowe did not reply
to his first letter, (being absent from homo on its
arrival at Brunswick,) that her husband, Prof.
Stowe, did reply in her behalf, at once; thnt he ex
pressed the greatest regret'that his (Dr. Parkers)
name bud been used, a ad gave the most friendly
assurance that the matter should be immediately
attended to and put right.
Dr. Parker s also knows that Mrs. Stowe knew
that her husband had thus acknowledged the re
ceipt of Dr. P. 'a first note ; for ia his second lot
ter, ubove quoted, he siys expressly, "a letter from
your husband has led me to understand that my
note to you was received several days. ago." No
word of this has ever been .whispered to the public
by Dr. Purker or the New York Observer, i
They have been to'd by the Observer; with Mr.
Parker's oonssnt, that when Dr. P. wrote his first
letter to her, "Mrs.. Stutce touk no' notice of his
letter;", (the italics are not ours, but the Obser
ver't;) "J)r. Parker wrote to her again.
Stowe deigned no reply" etc. And yet Dr. Pur
ker had in his possession, when he impregnated
the New York Observer with f .Isehuol, nnd the
Observer had in its p-sses-i'iu when it gtve forth
its untruth, this reply of Prof. Stowe to Dr. Pur
ker firBt letter : -: , -'t
. , v,.. BaunswicK, Me -, Bowoois College,
' , . . May 11, 1852. . J
My Dear Sir:' Your name was u?ed in Mrs.'
Stowe's work without niy knowledge, and . of
course without my consent. As aooo as I di -covered
it, I told her it was wrong, and she must hive
it erased. Sho agreed with me, and wrote to her
publisher to huve the name erased, and some other
corrections made..- As I have not read the issues.
I had hoped the corrections were made ; nnd m
very sorry to find, by your note oL the 8 U iustani
just received, that .they have not. been made.
Mrs. S. is now on a visit to her bt other. Rev. H.
W. Beecher, in Brooklyn, where she will be
happy to see you, and put all things on Rn ami-
e ble fo rting I regret the occurrence, and am
glad to find that you consider the statement a
"calumny " and a " serious matter.'"'' '
Very truly yours, ' : C. Ei Stowe. 7
Rev. Joel Parker, D. D. - '
Second: Dr. Parker, after Mrs. Stowe's afipa-
rent silence had been explained to him, in a man
ner tlmt no gentleman who reads the documents
in this case will have a doubt should have satisfied
an honorable mind, deliberately represents Mrs.
Stowe as maintaining an obstinate silence. - Yet
Dr. Pinker knew when such rep.esentations were
made, as our renders now have the mean-i of
knowing, that Mrs. Stowe was in Brooklyn when
he wrote to Brunswick, (Me..) nnd that she fail.-sd
for several days to receive' his letter ; that when it
came to hand she repl ed to it within ten days ;
and that in Ibis reply she offored reasons for even
so long a delay, viz : That her health was feeble.
that she was bewildered by the " multiplied en
gagements " ofthe May anniversary week, (which,
as an authoress of recent success, attracted to her
not a little company ;) Dr. Parker also knew that
after her reply wns actually written, it was delay
ed from the 22d to the 29th of May, by somo mis
carriage which prevented its reaching the pos,
office, or by some detention after it was dropped
there, of which neither sho nor I had or have any
knowledge; nnd that he was informed by Mrs.
Stowe, on the 25th, thnt such letter h id been sont.
Now, the reason of such nppment do'ny Dr.
Parker misht not have understood nt that lime; hut
he did undei-stnnd it afterwards, not only by Mrs
S'owe' letter, but by interviews with her. He
ha 1 been assured by letter and petsmnlly, by Mm.
Stowe and Prof. Stowe, that she wa not indiffer
ent tn hit request : that sho anxiously .desired to
do him justice when she could do so with a clr
conviction that she teas wrong iu ascribing to him
the language quoted in her bo-k. -
1 et, to late as wtthm two weeks fmm this date,
Dr. Parker permits the Observer, uncorrected, t
say, "Mr. Stowe. did not hesitate to avail herFelf
ofthe flouting lie of abolition newspapers to vilify
the gold name of a Gospol minister, nnd to nil bis
lemonstmnces, and even to his offers of documen
tary evidence to prove his innocence, she turns a
deaf ear, until the arm of the law is rirsed. nnd
Ihen new light break in, and the laic mukes clear
what the Gospel could nut." (Tho italics are the
Observer's.) ' - '-
-The reader ctnnot. but observe the marked con
trat hetween Dr. Pniker's five y"' indiflVvence,
to thi report, and his urgent haste and impntieucf. ,
with Mis. Stowe for the delay of a few days, and
that, too. whon he had assurances from Pmf.
Stowe and Mrs. Stowe that they were most kind
ly disposed, and that he was investigating the
matter with a much Bpeed as prostrated health
and the confusion of anniversary week would allow.
Tuird: The quotation above introduces . the
third count of Dr. PnrKor'8 disingennnusneps. in
regard to thi part of tho history. The Observer
declare, for him, that Mrs'; Siowe'lind offer frOm
Dr. Parker of " documentary evidence to prove hi
nnoooooe;" again, it says that when ''that injured
'" A- A- -' '. '" ' ' i' tt..
''-
pastor offer quietly to. give her the tvcidenei ihal,.
she is mistaken,- she does not condescend to look at.
the subject,"., (The italics are ours.) ;.
All the letters of Dr. Parker referred to by hint
and the Observer: are now befure the reader, and.
he is requested to find in them, if he can, tho
shadow of an offer of any documentary evidence,
or of any evidence whatever. ,
In hi first letter, he does not eyen deny that
the words are his. He only implies it, by com-
plaints of being aspersed, and that his ministerial
reputation was damaged. In the second letter, ten
days later, he iudeed denies the' language and the
sentiments to be hisj but makes no offer whatever
to put Mrs. Stowe in possession of evidence :d"
that point. The third loiter is equally barren.
The first offer over made to produce documentary
evidence to either Mis. Stowe or mysolf, was an
offer from Benjamin F. Butler, Esq., after he had
been retained by Dr. Parker as counsel, conveyed
to me by Mr. Barney, on the evening of the 26dl '
of May. ' " ' " - . '' -.
And then it hnd iu immediate envnt, as it would
h Y done earlier, if it had been offered by Drj .
Pai ker, or had been procurable by us. . And the '
Observer's deliberate affirm ition, made under Dn -
Pui ker's eye of an offer to plaoe in Mrs. S owe'.
hands the means of ascertaining her error, is,' by
his own letters,' shown to be void of truth;' :
3. I must ask the public" to con'rast the spirit of '
Mrs. Stowe's mind toward Dr. Parker, as reveal-
ed in her letter, with the whole style of the Ob- .
server's article toward her, 'and of Dr. Parker'' ''
letter of July 31, published in the Observer'!- - ,
September 30. A We cannot believe that it is out
mere prejudice in this frl ilter that leads us to fdp- '
pose, that the tone of the Observer is most nn- '
christian; and even malignant. It blows are dealt
wi fa an unmistakable rejoicing ia its work. ' If
Mrs. S:oe had fallen into the mistakes which
Dr. P..rker; charges, T appeal to all' good ' and '
Christian, men, whether it would not have been a
mutter, of reproach to Christianity ; and whether' '
a re igious journal, of Wide circulation, represents
the spirit of Christianity in its exultations over the ' -
the dnwnf dl of a Christian 1 '
; But, if this would be so, on the supposition that
the Observer ia rignt, how much worse is it, now
that it appears so plainly that it has been thorough,
ly in lie wrong? - What idea of Christianity will'
the world gam by reading such articles as the Ob--'
server's in wh ch it appear that One minister plots '
with another, for the'j int purpose of destroying a "' -
third minister of Christ and the reputation of- a
Ch list inn woman, without one exhibition of regret '
or soi r..w, and with Ovejy mark of malicious plaa-
-ure ? .; L i. - ' ;" - -
Thennrrative of events; which we now resume," ',
'eft Mrs Stowe at New Haven, whence she wa '
to send me what she cho-e to be the finhl form of
publication. - Accordingly on or near the 5th of
June, I received from her a letter of instructions1 '
from which I extract as follows : " . , "'

The card which was enclosed was as follows: .

cr.bed to the Rev. Joel Parker, speaking uf slave- .

This sentiment and language has been quite ex- .
tensiveiy and pubficly attributed to Mr. Parker
in the most respectttb'e public prints in thi coun
try and in England. .It wns quoted at the meeting
of.an'ec!e-i istical body there,, nnd in connect'tcti
with many. remnrks of the same chn raster from
other American .ministers, formed the basis of d.
discussion on the propriety of admitting American! .

excited at the. lime a ccnsidenible sensat on. Fl
nally, it was published smontt the historic doou
menfs of the Antt-Slavery Society for 4htS year.

of Mr. Parker; but no public denial was evef
made. - - -
The author therefore quoted it a an acknowl
