            <text>Personal.&lt;br /&gt;At the New England Festival in Washington, on the 22d ult., our distinguished countrywoman and correspondent, Grace Greenwood, was called upon to respond to the following toast:&lt;br /&gt;"New England Women--Efficient as schoolmarm, delicious as sweethearts, unrivaled as wives, incomparable as mothers; their devotion, their energy, their love have made New England men what they are."&lt;br /&gt;Her speech was so good that we cannot resist the temptation to print it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mr. President&lt;/em&gt;:--As this is not only Forefathers', but Foremothers' day, I recognize the propriety of a woman being invited to respond to this sentiment.

[Applause.] [...]&lt;br /&gt;How many of the greatest women of our time has New England nurtured? Maria Mitchell, who nightly reads the illuminated missal of the heavens, as we read the daily papers, and with far more profit; Harriet Beecher Stowe, whom nobody can write down--not even she herself; Charlotte Cushman, who while she kept the English stage was the grandest actress on it; Harriet Hosmer, whose name is carved in marble; and Ida Lewis, whose "name is writ in water," and yet is imperishable.
