Excerpt from Frank Nelson, or the Runaway Boy
You'll hear him roar louder still, old girl, if you don't find me a shoestring, and that in double quick time, too.
I'm not a Zouave, Frankie what should I know of double quick,' and, do let me look in your fragment of a mirror, do you remem ber how a boy's boot, flung heedlessly against it, in a paroxysm of impatience, broke it one sunny Sabbath morning, a morning whose brightness ought to have soothed all impatient feelings.

Excerpt from From Shore to Shore, and Other Poems
Through love, will not view them with a critic's eye. They have not been wrought with patient labor, neither have they been quarried from mines of thought, but have Sprung spontaneously from seeds which sympathy planted. The manifold cares of a city parish forbid much pruning or trim ming; and hence they are given to the public in much the same form as when they first appeared in the various newspapers and magazines whose poet's corner they helped to fill. If they may only, in their present dress, gratify the many friends who have asked for them, and in some way bless human ity, and thus glorify God, the writer will be satisfied.

Phebe Ann Coffin Hanaford was an American Universalist minister and writer. She was also an important leader in the women's rights movement.
Background
Phebe Hanaford was born on May 6, 1829, in Siasconset, Massachusetts, United States, the daughter of George W. and Phoebe Ann (Barnard) Coffin; she was descended from the Folger and Coffin families, both of which, as she often observed, possessed the honor and influence due “first families. ”
Education
Phoebe's early education was obtained in the public and private schools of Nantucket; Latin and mathematics she studied with an Episcopalian clergyman.
Career
At the age of eight Phoebe took the temperance pledge; at thirteen she began writing for the newspapers; at sixteen she taught school. She became chaplain and treasurer of the Daughters of Temperance in the dedication of halls and at the burial of members. My Brother, a negligible volume of verse and prose, she published in 1852, and the following year, Lucrecia, the Quakeress, designed to illustrate the triumph of anti-slavery principles. In 1860 appeared The Best of Books and Its History, a series of lectures on the Bible which she had previously delivered to the Baptists of Nantucket.
Having preached a year at the Universalist Church in Hingham, Massachusetts, Hanaford was installed as pastor in 1868. Resigning in 1870, she was called to New Haven, Connecticut, where she remained until 1874, when she became pastor of the First, and later of the Second Universalist Church in Jersey City. She was the first woman to officiate as chaplain of the Connecticut legislature, which position she occupied several times in 1870 and 1872.
In 1865, Hanaford published three books: The Young Captain, a memorial of Capt. Richard C. Derby, killed at Antietam; Frank Nelson, or the Runaway Boy, a piece of juvenile fiction; and Abraham Lincoln: His Life and Public Services, of which a German translation was published in New York the same year. Her Life of George Peabody, the philanthropist, was issued in 1870. The popularity of her books on Lincoln and Peabody was an indication of the condition of contemporary literary standards rather than of any merits in the biographies. From Shore to Shore, and Other Poems appeared in 1871. A chronicle of the achievements of American women, Daughters of America; or, Women of the Century (1882), was the last of her literary productions.
Her active ministry ceased in 1891, and her death, at the age of ninety-two, occurred in Rochester, New York, at the house of a grand-daughter.
