HOWE.

JULIA WARD HOWE.

__________

LIKE Lady Henry Somerset in England, Julia Ward Howe has used her high social position and brilliant talents for the good of the world. She was born May 27, 1819, in a handsome home in Bowling Green, at that time the fashionable part of New York City. Her father, Samuel Ward, was a merchant and banker of New York, of the firm of Prime, Ward, & King.

He was a majestic person, says Mrs. Howe, of somewhat severe aspect and reserved manners, but with a vein of true genialty and a great benevolence of heart. His great gravity, and the absence of a mother, naturally subdued the tone of the whole household; and though a greatly cherished set of children, we were not a very merry one.

Her grandfather, Samuel Ward, a graduate of Brown University, was a lieutenant-colonel in the Revolutionary War; was at Peekskill, Valley Forge, and Red Bank, and wrote an official account of the last-named battle. He was a scholar, as well as a brave soldier, and all through his campaigns carried with him a diamond edition of the Latin classics. He was the son of Gov. Samuel Ward of Rhode Island, Mrs. Howe’s great-grandfather. The mother of Gov. Samuel Ward was a great-granddaughter of Roger Williams. Four of Mrs. Howe’s ancestors were governors of Rhode Island, two Wards and two Greens. On her mother’s side her ancestors were the Marions of South Carolina, her mother being a grand-niece of General Marion.

This mother, Julia Cutler Ward, was a woman of much beauty and intellect. She died at the early age of twenty-eight, leaving six little children, the fourth Julia, only five years of age.

The blow was a distressing one to the banker and his children. For weeks he lay prostrated on a bed of sickness. Finally his wife’s sister, Miss Eliza Cutler, came into the home to bring up the children as best she could. She was a witty and talented woman, and helped to develop them in mind as well as in body.

Mrs. Laura E. Richards, the daughter of Julia Ward Howe, in her book, When I was Your Age, published by Estes & Lauriat, says of Miss Cutler, "A very good aunt she was, and devoted to the motherless children; but sometimes she did funny things. They went out to ride every day—the children, I mean—in a great yellow chariot lined with fine blue cloth. Now, it occurred to their
