which he has delineated in the Girl's own book are not so amusing as the unintentional comedy of his attempt at a Ladies' sewing circle, which illustrates American life in the History of woman. The fair laborers sit about a small round table, with a smirk of mistimed levity on their faces, and one feels an irresistible impulse to insert in their very curly hair the twisted papers employed in the game of Genteel lady, always Genteel, in the Girl's own book. The History of woman appeared in 1832, as one of a series projected by Carter & Hendee, of which Mrs. Child was to be the editor, but which was interrupted at the fifth volume by the failure of the publishers. She compiled for this the Biographies of good wives, the Memoirs of Madame De Stael and Madame Roland, those of Lady Russell and Madame Guion, and the two volumes of Woman. All these aimed at a popular, not a profound, treatment. She was, perhaps, too good a compiler, showing in such work the traits of her brother's min

ve years ago I The lifetime of but a single generation! And yet, what a different country does this diary reveal to us from the United States of to-day! What a different person, too, was the dashing, vivacious, and spoiled child of the public of 1832, from the patient, mature, and lofty character which Mrs. Kemble has since attained! Her diary was amusing when it was published, but it is today a lesson in history. She lived, during her first engagement in New York, at the American Hotel, othe Butler plantations in South Carolina. She recorded her impressions at the time in a diary, according to her custom, which diary has been recently published. What a contrast between this work, written in 1839, and her other diary written in 1832 and 1833! In the first, there is a good deal of immaturity, a little affectation, perhaps, and, occasionally, a certain lack of the refinement and dignity which belong to the well-bred woman. We see the favorite actress a little spoiled by her

never written more graphically, and as if under a genuine inspiration, than in those pages of the Mayflower, of The minister's Wooing, of The Pearl of Orr's Island, and of Norwood, where they have led their readers to and fro over its peaceful hills, and among its peculiar people of long ago. For a season Harriet was an associate teacher in the Hartford Seminary; but, on the failure of Miss Beecher's health, both she and her sister sought rest in their father's house, which, since the year 1832, had been located in the environs of Cincinnati. Here, also, after a brief respite, they opened a school, of which-and particularly of the religious influence of which, and of a Bible class in Old Testament history which Harriet Beecher conducted — we have heard one of the pupils speak in terms of high praise. Miss Beecher at length gave herself up to the organization of larger educational enterprises,--to the furtherance of which her whole life has been nobly devoted. And on the 5th day

est field in which this branch of woman:a labors can fairly exhibit its fruits. Mrs. Hannah E. Longshore, M. D. Mrs. Longshore is the daughter of Samuel and Paulian Myers, born May 30th, 1819, in Montgomery County, Maryland. Her parents were natives of Buiks County, Pennsylvania, and members of the Society of friends. When she was two years old, they moved into the District of Columbia, where she received her early education, attending a private school in Washington City. In the year 1832, unwilling to remain longer under the demoralizing influence of a slave-holding community, they again changed their residence, and settled on a farm in Columbiana County, Ohio. Here the whole household co-operated in industry and the most rigid economy, to secure for themselves a quiet and happy home. Samuel Myers was evidently a man of practical religious character, and strong individuality,--one whom unwearying diligence, careful reading, and meditation had developed into a good reasoner
