ers of the Paulist inauguration of the Apostolate of 

 the Press. His intellect was unceasingly active, 

 even under the heavy pressure of failing health, to 

 which he was often subject, and his conscientious 

 enthusiasm for any undertaking adopted by him 

 for the public good prevented a moment's real rest 

 or the enjoyment of that outdoor life which was his 

 greatest delight. He was a member of the Papyrus 

 Club, in Boston ; of the Authors and the Players' 

 Clubs, New York; of the Society of Connecticut 

 Sons of the American Revolution ; of the St. John's

 the height of his literary power, having but a short 

 time before written superlatively fine prose and 

 poetry. He married the second daughter of Na- 

 thaniel Hawthorne, whose wife, meeting him not 

 long before her death, was especially fond of him, 

 and several times uttered his name with great affec- 

 tion in her last hours. He had one child, Francis 

 Hawthorne Lathrop, whom he lost, and to whom 

 he wrote one of his most spiritual and beautiful 

 poems. There was the quality in him of a star 

 shining steadily among dark, moving clouds.
