Excerpt from Agnes C. Wirt: And Other Books for Children and Youth Mr. Kennedy says of her, in his interesting Life of Wirt, From earliest childhood an object of extraordinary attraction to all who were famil iar with Mr. Wirt's household, she possessed a remarkable intelligence and aptitude of mind, which was developed in a devotion to study very unusual to her years and sex. It was not less expressed in, her face, which sparkled with physical and intellectual beauty. Her manners won all hearts by their gentleness and grace. The cast of her mind was thoughtful and de voutly religious. These qualities had so plant ed her in the affections of her family, that she seemed to lead and instruct that little domestic circle of which she was almost the youngest member.
