Few great men bare paid more en
thusiastic tributes to tbeir wires than
Tom Hood, and probably few wives
have better deserved such homage, says
the Chicago ' Chronicle. "You will
think." be wrote to ber in one of his
letters, "that 1 am more foolish than
any boy lover, and 1 plead guilty, for
never was a wooer so young of heart
and so steered in love as I. but it is a
love sanctified and strengthened by
lone rears of experience. Sisy God
ever bless my darling; "the sweetest.
most helpful, angel who ever stoopeu
to bless a man!" Has tncre ever, we
wonder. Uved a wife to whom a more
delicate and beautiful tribute was paid
than those verses of which tne burden

I can say?'
WI want thee much." Nathaniel uaw

after Ids long patience bad won for
him the flower "that was lent from
neavea to show the possibilities of the
haman soul." Thou art the only per
son la the world that ever was neces
sary to me, and now I am only myself
When thos art within my reach. Thou
art aa unspeakably beloved woman."

''atmosphere of love and happiness and
taspiratioa" with which his delicate
wife alwaya surrounded him.
The wedded life of Wordsworth with
bis cousin, "the phantom of delight,"

thaa any his pen ever wrote. Mrs.
Wordsworth was never fair to look
upon, but she bad that priceless and
rarer beauty of soul which msde ber
life "a ceater of sweetness" to all
around ber. "All that she baa beea ta

bad a more self sacrificing, .brave, de

daughter. Ia fact, they were more like
two happy, light hearted children than
sedate married folk, and under the
magic of their merriment tbe hard
ships and dangers of life in tbe heart
of tbe dark continent were stripped of
