MAKING LOYE IN THE DARK.

~ “Won’t some one make my lines for me, please? My quilting looks very much like Mrs. Partington’s turpentine walks,” and Mary Norris raised a pretty, laughing face to the assembled company, which consisted of the elite of Brownsville, with some of the lower strata. . The village boasted not of its numbers as it did of its pretty girls, and Mrs. Goodwin was determined to have her quilt finished by fair means .or foul, and, being desperate, had sceraped Brownville for her quilting bee. - 'The usual gossip was at its height when it was interrupted by the appeal of Mary Norris to Mrs. Goodwin, whose interest it was to have every line perfect, and to keep the social machinery in running order. So she bustled about and soon got Mavy to work geaan.. - ‘ “I', wonder,” said Jennie Haskings, “if Mary Frazier is coming over today?” : " “Goodness knows; she is terribly fashionable and aristocratie,” returned one of the lower set. ; : - “0, she is coming,” interrupted the hostess, “she promised not to fail, and is such a quiet, undemonstrative little tliing that she will accomplish a good deal, even if she does come late.” “She wouldn’t be fashionable and like city people if she came as early as the rest,” put in another of the lower strata. “PFor my part, I wish she would stay away entirely. We can live just as well without such stuck up——-" ; v The sentence remained unfinished, for at that moment the lovely face of Mary Frazier looked in upon them with a pleasant smile. - In her silent manner she glided in at the side door, removed her hat and gloves without disturbing the hostess, and then surprised them. Mrs. Goodwin greeted her warmly, and as usual, . with fuss and bustle, she was seated at the -quilt, where her slight deft fingers began to trace line after line in ler exquisite and neat fashion, and to outdo many who had come earlier.

All the people who could be picked to pieces were, and Brownville had to pass through the social feminine mangle customary on such occasions and yet strange to say, survived. After tea the gathering of the rustic swains began. Among them came handsome Dr. Collins and his old bachelor friend, Dr. Peters. ' (Of course the entire unmarried portion of the other sex were settling their caps for the handsome young physician, and were doing all they could to inerease his vanity and spoil him generally. Upon the present occasion he joined right merrily in the country games, romped with Mary Norris, and paid more than one forfieit upon her red pouting lips. Indeed, he seemed to revel in sweets, for the most of the girls, though making a show of resentment when he kissed them, evidently sought or challenged such liberties, all but quiet little Mary Frazier.' She stole into out of-the-way corners, and more than once slipped out of the hands of those very ones who sought to drag her’ into their plays. ; It was whispered again that she - was too aristocratic to mingle with the common herd, though in truth, having been reared in tlie city, she was unprepared to permit such liberties. Her extremely delicate nature shrank from becoming public property. Her lips were reserved for him who should win her love, and were not to be desecrated. But that she also had cast longing eyes upon the handsome young physician wasnot to be denied. Yet even the most careful observer has not been able to detect the fact—a higher color or sudden bounding of the heart at the sound of his voice, when he addressed her in tones always deferential and polite, as if he was just a little frozen or awed by her manner. . - Mirth reigned fast and furious as the evening waned. Chairs were overturned in the boisterous game of blind man’s-buff, while dresses and sashes suffered sadly. The doctor seeing Mary Norris dash out of the front door, followed her, resolving (upon the spur of the moment,) to seize the time to disclose his love. Such an event had been one of the things of the future, if at all; until now he had not given mueh thought to it, but her saucy, black eyes and sweet, warm kisses had completed his enthrallment. Out under the vinecovered porch of the Goodwin cottage where 4ie could distinetly trace the soft outlines jof his love in her fleecy white: dress, he followed, and. gaining her side, he whispered: : . “Mary, I must leave now. I havea patient to visit yet to-night, but I can not tear myself away without telling you how much I'love you.” One little hand was clinging to the trellis as he spoke, and dimly tracing the coveted member,’ he forcibly possessed himself of it, while his other arm stole around her slender waist.— With an air of timid surprise all unlike the usual spontaneous demonstrativeness of Mary Norris the young girl dropped her head and slowly murmured: . . - :

“]—l—did not think—" o “You did not think I loved you? Is that it, my sweet girl? Well, I do most sincerely. But, Mary, lam no adept to love making, and I am very brusque. Yet, will you be my wife ?” . “Surely you can not mean it? You have never shown me the slightest preference! Is it possible that under my careless and light exterior you did not detect a more serious meaning ?” “But I am- awaiting my answer;” and he bent down to cateh the timid “yes.” . ) - i

- The night was moonless and dark, so much so that the doctor could not see, as he longed to do, the blushing face of his Mary. He Kkissed at random, and being determined to leave the seal of bethrothal on her lips, kissed first her ear, then her cheek, and after meandering all about, at last settled upon her sweet lips, which were turned temptingly upward. “God bless you,” he whispered. “To-morrow evening I may come and see you, I suppose, and then we carl adjust our happy future.” . Just then the shouts of some lasses who had been chased out of the back -door by their rustic admirers startled the lovers. Dr. Collins kissed his affianced again, and dashed away before he was discovered. Of course he “walked upon the air,” and it is quite likely his preseription for the invalid - was a little mixed. But after he had ,Fained the guiet of his own room, he lay awake for a long time reflecting -upon the stupendous step he had tak‘en. Somehow he had regretted that -he had been so hasty, as he communed ‘with himself. ‘ .

“I am afraid,” he thought, “that my mother will think her a-bit hoydenish. But it cannot be denied that she is beautiful and shrewd, and if transplanted into a more refined soil will improve. How she seemed to melt

when she found I loved her, and how changed were her manners.’ I confess I expécted. her to aceept my wooing with, her old time half defiant and saucy dash. But io! she became sweetly womanly, tender and gentle. I could feel her pliant form tremble and thrill in my arms, and her timid ‘yes’ was given almost with a sob. By Jove! I had no idea the child loved me .so much’; and I shall always be good to the sweet girl., She shall be the apple of my eye.” :

‘With this resolve. Dr. Collins floated into dreamland, to rehearse over again the little love passage in the rustic .poreh of Mrs. Goodwin and beneath. the twining morning glory vines. The following day passed for him with leaden feet. e longed to see Mary Norris in her charagter of his aflianced bride. - That she would be gentle and sweet’ with him, now that they 'were engaged, he did not doubt, and he felt he should like her better when a trifle toned down. So the early shadow of the evening found him at the door of the Norris mansion. Maryv was at the piano. &He could distinguish her voice in some peculiar strain. No doubt this was only a ruse to cover her natural confusion. = ‘A servant showed him in, and he instantly discovered that Mary was not alone. A masculine from a neighboring willage was devotedly Jeaning over her and turning the music. The closing of the door announced him. Mary started up from the instrument, and, without the slightest deepening of the rose color upon her cheeks, and simply and naturally as ever, eame forward, greeted him. and introducing “her friend, Mr. Cummings.” : ' The hot blood surged into the cheeks cf the doctor; and he attempted to express his disappointment and ardor with one eloguent glance, but it fell entirely short of its: mark. No answering expression came back to him. As if unconscious of their new and near relation to each other, Mary Norris rai onin merry jest and railery, until he became thoroughly out of humor, and espoused the contrary side of every question, and at an early hour took his departure. When in the hall, where the girl accompanied him, he turned upon her with words of reproach. - '

- “How could you admit that fellow to-night Wwhen you was expecting me?” : L

“I beg your pardon, Dr. Collins,” she replied, with ‘her sauey black eyes dancing, “You are very much mistaken. I did not expeect you here tonight, that fellow is one of my dearest friends.” . | . . “Mary, you aref frifling with me; have you forgotten what transpived ini the varandah only last night?” ‘ “What varandah?? | - “That of Mrs. Goodwin, to be sure.” “You must be insane, doctor, or are laboring under some hallueination. I was: not in Mrs. Goodwin’s varandah with yow for a single'moment last night; and if’ you made any engagements with any young lady at that time and place, it was not with your humble servant.” .+ | - “Not with you!” heggasped, pale to his lips. * “Who the deuee was it then, I should like to knoav ?” ‘ “I can’t say. You should not be. so careless, doctor. No doubt some fair Brownsville girl is this moment looking her eyes out while you are wasting your time with me. But I must gojback or Charley will be jealous. Yet stay. I have one trifling bit of confidence for 'you. We are engaged.” | “Cextainly. Don’t I khow it!” he exclaimed, seizing her hand, with a suddenly radiant face. - - “Know it, and had the audacity to call my Charley ‘a fellow’ and to be angry because I did not deny myself to him on account of your stupidity in thinking that under Mrs. Goodwin’s porch you had informed me of your intended visit? O, Goodness! what a ccxfiuette you must believe me tobe! . & :

His hands fell away from heprs suddenly, and his voice was husky; as he answered : : .

. “I congratulate you. Goodevening, Mary.” " Qut into the silent and dull village street he ground his teeth, and used some very intricate and harsh words against himself, the worst of which perhaps was that he might be considered “an ass.” 'IHe went directly to his office, and Dr. Peters noticed -the change in his manners, and kindly inquired what was the matter. “Any bad news, my boy?” he asked jocosely. “You look as though you had been having a case of double conniptions, and didn’t know what to do with them.’ :

“I am an unmitigated fool, that’s all. I’ve gone and engaged myself.” “To be married! Not that, hey ?” “Yes, just that, old fellow.” and he sank into a-chair with 4 moest disgusted .. ;

- Dr. Peters looked at him for a moment, and then burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. .

“Why, the deuce take it!” he said, as soon as he could get his breath, “one would think you were doomed to be hung. ' I give you my word that if I had gone as far as you say you have, I should try to look mrore cheerful.” |, “Grood heavens! howfcan I? Listen for a few moments. As Isaid before, I am engaged to .bé married, but I swear to you I don’t know to whom.” . The old physician sat.up, his face suddenly elongated, and he stared at his partner in pills with open-eyes astonished. Presently he said, as if to himself: - B : ;

“The boy is just as mad as a March hare.”

“No, I am not—wish to thunder I was.” He related minutely everything that had occurred under thé, porch and screening Vvines at Mrys. Goodwin’s and continued, “Whoever I mistook for Mary Norris evidently believes in and loves me. Shesolemnly yielded herself to my caresses as my betrothed wife, thinking that I worshipped her, and her only.” Dr. Collins groaned, and ran his finigers thro’ his hair until each particular fiber stood on end. His partner vainly attempted to control his risibles. One glance at this disconsolate visage of his friend was too much, and (to use an Hibernianism) he let off ‘a toar that shook the very foundation of Brownville, and it was a good half hour before he could sufliciently control himself to give his friend the comfort and advice he neededs - “No- doubt,” was the reply, “it is a laughable matter, and its ridiculous side exceedingly funny; bub for the life of me, Doc. I can’tseeit. Andnow, as a gentleman and a man of honor, what am I to do?” : |

~ Dr. Peters wiped his eyes, settled himself to considering for a ti}ue before replying, and then replieds | “If I werein your place,?( Should first find out to whom I am engaged, and if she proved agreeable, or rath-

er desirable, T'shoul marry her unless my heart was firmly set on Mary Norrig.”’ & : : “Fortunately that spell is broken. I see that T was merely infatuated. Besides I find that she is-already engaged. But that does not matter. Suppose I find the young lady the very I'gwf'zzrse of my-expectations and hope. What shail I dothen?” .

. “Make yourself so disagreeable and exacting that you drive her to the extremity of jilting you.” / < “That advice is very sound, no doubt, but how in the name of common sense am I to find the girl ?” “You would make a poor detective. Evidently her name .is Mary. If I understand you correctly, you called her that alone, with a few pet epithets thrown in.” | “I had not thought of that.”

“Well, think over all the girls in Brownsville by the name of Mary, and the one most likely.to be she.— Then visit her at once. There’s Mary Cartoy :

~ “It wasn’t she,” inteprupted Dr. Collins, with a gesture of disgust. “How do you know? Remember you shot in the dark.” L “Don’t you think I should know if I were hugging a sawlog: Didn’t I tell you her form was slight and delicately modeled ?”’ . SNo, if you had occular demonstrations of the fact, I yield. Might it not have been Mary Lewis?: =~ “No. She is too tall.”’ :

! “Then, clearly it is, as I had suspected, Mary Frazier, and I congratulate you, my dear boy, for having stumbled upon so happy fate in the dark. sShe is, without a doubt, the dearest little woman in the world, and a perfect lady withal.” : The ‘handsome face of the young physician cleared, and he reddened visibly, as he answered : ’ “I had not thought of her other than to admire her gentle and sweet manner and radiant intellectual face.—— Somehow she is always so reticent and retiring that I have found it rather hard to get on with her.” : “If you had been read in the ways of worfian, this at once would have convineed you that she was willing to acknowledge, even to herself.” - “A thousand thanks, Doe. I confess that you have helped me wonderfully, and if it is indeed the lovely Mary Frazier to whom I am affianced, and by whom I believe myself greatly beloved, I will try not to be wholly miserable.” o The next evening, according to the advice he had received, Dr. Collins called upon Miss Frazier. As sherose to greet him, a sudden uplifting of a pair of soft brown eyes and upsurging of the tell-tale blood convinced him that he was this time on the right track. . “Of course,” hesaid taking her hand and looking down into = her timid blushing face, “you expected me last night.” - ~ “Certainly; and presume I ought to give you a lecture for not coming.”

CARL SCHURZ AT GOSHEN. Eloquent Lecture on Educational ~ Problems, . DEFECTS IN' THE EDUCATION i OF OUR GIRLS. Valuable Hints and Suggestions to | Mankind In General. ; Senator Carl Schurz, as stated last week, delivered a most brilliant leeture on “Educational Problems,” before a large audience in the courthouse at Goshen. The lecturer was intgoduced by John W. Irwin, Esq. Senator Schurz, on coming, forward, was received with manifestations of applause. lle commenced by expressing a hope that the audience were not trained to the belief that public leeturers were amusing. Ile would not ind[ulge in rhetorie, but would spé:ak in plain terms. © In no country -was education so much diseussed as in the United States. Tliey looked upon education, f(gr‘examplé, as a purifier of public morals. A better general education was always pointed to as the remedy fov every moralill. When the question, however, arose as to what was the o

BEST FORM OF POPULAR EDUCATION, how few were prepared with any practical idea on tlie subject. Education should not only be so directed as to store up specific things in their minds, but also so as to enable them to work, and live, and bear themselves in the world. Their ancestors had been, perhaps, well enough educated for their day, but what suited them did not suit us, and consequently the education of modern times should be equal to the necessities of the generation. The man of to-day had to know very much more than his Q‘eat—grandfather knew, and yet the time for learning appeared to be as brief as in old times. ‘ ‘

ITow, then, was the time at the disposal of the new generationfto be best employed? Of course specific things had to be learned, but they should be-able to say how they were to go ahead with théir learning after they had left the school or University. The young mind should receive fire and impulse from early training. ‘

IN HIS OWN EXPERIENCE of his education in Germany, he had to say that he acquired much knowledge which had since been lost, but he did not, theréfore, consider that his time had been thrown away. e had learned the discipline of mind which was carried into the busy walks of every-day life. Ile did not wish to be understood as holding that specific points were of no use. They wera, That was not to be denied; but there was no doubt that the pupil alx{gays learned much more outside of the school-house than within it. Thpen there came up the question of

| TRAINING CHILDREN TOO YOUNG. | The question was always asked, “How are you going to teach a mere baby ?” It had been related of John Stuart Mill that his father had made him learn Gyreek at a very early age, and people held that if young Mill had not been gifted with an extraordinarily strong mind he would have been rendered an idiot by his early education. It was just as rational to held that the brain of an American baby who could speak Ger.mzm would-be destroyed. The child was apt to learn from the very earliest dawn of its reason, and could be gradually brought along without strain or ex’,cit.e‘ment to learn more and more. e

. In some the perceptive faculty was much more developed than in others. This could be seen by the excellence in detail of some. One person could look upon a tree and not be able to describe lit, because he was unacquainted with vegetable laws, while another, who had been trained, could tell all about it.© A lady could meet another lady in the street, and, afterward, would be able not only to tell wh@t she wore, but also, by a singular process of the mind, might be able to correctly estimate ‘the cost of the material. [Laughter.} It was a pity that so muech natural intelligence could not be devoted to better uses.” Fathers and mothers should cultivate the perceptiveness of their children. They should answer their childish questions in regard to all proper objects that present themselves. This method of education was mutually beneficial. Fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters, in thus training the infant, also trained their own minds.

. Haying taken the infant out of the first stage, v :

. THE SCHOOL AGE was néxt approached. How was the school education to be rationztll‘j’_carried on? The lecturer said that there were some customs in the schools whiech were inimical to intelligence. Astronomy, mental philosophy, and other text-books of ponderous names,. were placed in the hands of pupils, and, strange to say, the pupil who recited his lesson most Hteral_ly correct, never using any language of his own, was considered the best scholar. No system could be better devised to foster and cultivate human stupidity. [Laughter.] The boy or girl forgot: all about what cost so much trouble. For example, there might be a question as to what a cloud was. One boy, on the day of examination, might be able to tell all about it from the words of the text-book. Another boy might not remember a word of the text, but could ‘tell the vaporous nature of a cloud. Ask these two, a few days further, these same questions, and it ‘would be found that the specific urchin had & good chance of becoming a

first-class dunce [laughter], while the unspecific boy, although somewhat awkward at first, might develop into a very brilliant man. - This reminded him of an anecdote in 'Qné of" the works of Geethe, where he introduces a boy so full of learning that he had really forgotten who his own father was [laughter], and his sire, in wrath, sent him to a monastery, 'wi_xére it was not needful to learn anything useful: - The lecturer then proceeded to deal with other branches of specific education. TFollowing iR

.ONE PECULIAR LINE OF EDUCATION - was to be deplgredg Kno_’wlg_dfie sho'd be made as general as possible. Tortunately for the masses of tlie nineteenth century, popular books were s 0 common that all could be supplied at little cost, and the grand opportunity should not be neglected by the rising generation.” Such knowledge might be useful WhCli the Loy ~might develop, by a process ‘of - pol itical evolution, into an Aldermaui, or, perhaps, a member of Congress.. ["Applé'mse and laughter,] The lecturer advoeated the f(_)undiné of popular libraries wheneyer and wherever possible.- Nothing could be grander in the way of education, and he did not believe that there would " be any opposition to such a spread of knowledge; ..~ .

ONE OF THE GREAT OBSTACLES in the way of educational. progress was the miserable pay which teachérs received, not only in Amei’i.c’:a,_ but in every other country that he Knew of.. Heroic self-sacrifice- was not the food in which to nourish a progres:iv . education. Teachers could not be firstclass until their pi'ofession_; Wwas 'SO remunerated as to make the;'i‘n- satisfied to remain in it during theiractive file,. L o Mr. Schurz then proceeded to deal with the questionof-> . FEMALE “EDUCATION, . - - All branehes of knowledge should be open to them, and they should be encouraged to be self-reliant in'; their battle of life, not alone in teaching, but in fmedicinve,’ law; or whate\"e}‘ other profession thie lady might choose to follow. [;A‘imfiauseif e

In one thing, however, he could not ;agree with the more advanced female thinkers of the age, and, at the risk of being considered old fogy, he would say that he believed it was not good for woman to be alone. [Laughter and applause.] IHer natural destiny was tn get married and beeome a mother. Any other destiny was simply unnatural. In this he believed not. alone every young lady,/ but every joung man, in the audience would "agree -with him. [Laughter.] "But.itfl'n‘light be asked, would he have women simply educated for the purpose of being a household drudge? ‘Not.at all. He would have woman, as he had said, well educated, to fit Iler all the more for her duties as a wife and mother. Some of the. fastidious' might find fault with him for saying “our girls;” but he much preferred the fresh, unsophisticated, noble, blooming; natural girl to the painted, powdered, and be-: curled modern young lady. [Applause] One of the greatest curses of modern society was s , THE PERNICIOUS HABIY =~ of having: married coupleés board at a hotel or a boarding-hipuse. ~ It was the custom which weakened marital. and home ties, because it -removed mutual care, and left the mother not a queen, but simply a dweller; inher own household.:. Every wife ought to be the queen of her own house. Why' then was the custom so much indulged in? Because girls were not trained in youth to household duties, and they shrank from them.' This ‘was a'gredt error in the early education of the female sex. Some girls were led to be- ‘ lieve that they were most attractive: when they made themselves frames for the exhibition of silk and satin garments. In answer to the question, “Why do you not marry?—are you not able to feed a wife?” the young man of to-day would reply: = “Yes, I am able to feed a wife,r but not to clothe her.” That might be very vulgar, but it was very true, and bachelor celubs fiourished upon the- modern extravagance of women.. Until girls. learned that it was an error to'think more of the value they earried on the outside of their persons rather than in their minds and hearts, bachelors ¢ would increase, and marridges would daily grow less. The lecturer related the anecdote of the grand Roman matron, Cornelia, who, disdaining gems, was asked where she kept her jewels. She took her qnerists to aer nursery, and, pointing. to_ her. bright and happy children, “There are my jewels,” she said. [Applause.f Woman had ever been = - - THE CENTER OF LUXURY., . In this age she was more so, perhaps, than in any other, She might be very attractive to the beau, but was a terror to the husband. Girls ought to be. discouraged in extravagance, and encouraged in frugality, particularly in the line of dress. This was the great evil. When the marriage institution declined, population, and consequently the nation, declined. This was a law of nature. Girls should be taught to be useful, for the more useful a woman was, the more ornamental was she too. When Roman statesmen wished to compliment ‘some splendid matton they said: “She is at home: spinning.” Young ladies should be taught that honest work is not: degrading, but the reverse. -~ . = The lecturer next dwelt upon the EVILS OF AMERICAN COOKING,—~ hot soda-biseuits and half-done pie. There were ten dyspepties in Amevica for every one in England, Franceyor! Germany. This could be aseertained from any medical practitioner. Why was this? Because our girls were; in the higher cireles of society at least, taught to look upon housekeeping as a kind of degradation. 'They were taught to-do nothing that was practical,—unless to go shopping, which ws ; the most, flDP?SaCt'w:flil;Fbéggft%}fiy could do. {Applause and laughter.] hEm mon boast was, “I have 10 oceasion to work.” The pride of mfwaawfim ought to be to work, evenshen' not. compelled:fo doso., Sofng GAMEPIBAL, correspondent hat re@mflg‘f@;gf! his w’%@ ise at finding, on < is"* Germany, the Princess Bisuarck cirrying abunch of keys at her wais and attmmg&mm@%fimm;@% hold.

-that eminent lady more than if she - wore the same weight of diamonds. -[Applause.] Diamonds would only prove that her husbhand had money. ‘The bunch of keys proved that his ~wife had both heart and head. Oneof the greatest evils of woman in Amerlca was . o . EMPTINESS OF THOUGHT— - nothing to do,—which interferes with the happiness of most fashionable wo‘men. Napoleon had onéce asked a la-. dy -what should be done to make ‘France a greater nation than she was. The reply was, “Give the nation mothers.” That is exactly what America needed, and the end and aim of all | good people should be to educate the young generation of females so that they might be good mothers. They should be taught how noble it was to follow the path of duty rather than of pleasure,—to abandon the foppery and frippery of‘fashion, and learn to rear ‘and educate families. [Applause.] 1t would be useless to try and reform the nation in a political sense, unless - there was a higher basis of female education, which might be conveyed to the home circle. Tt was not by ma- x king a woman a General or a member of Congress that she was to be elevated. ' It was by educating her up to a . standard that would reform the nation, operating through the social - in- - fluence, in which woman has always ‘been, and ever must remain, more powerful than man. [Applause.] ' The next point touched by the lec- = turer was the -constant complaint made against the working classes that they were given to S v INTOXICATION. : Why was it? Because man would seek relaxdtion, and because the reformers, or- erusaders, did not substi- . tute something that would wean them from the old methed. DBut man must have relaxation, and if the promoters - of temperance would -advocate the ° establishment of popular places of amusement, they would do more to re-. form the morals than all their. stat- J utes, or hymns, or prayers could do.— [Sensation.] He threw this out as a well-meant hint to the advocates of temperance. Tn some European countries drinking was far more universal than -in America, but there moderation was practiced, because men and women mingled around the wine and beer tables in, concert-halls, and no German or Frenchman thought of getting drunk in the presence of his mother or his sweetheart. e said that millionaires would do more to reform ! society if they would ‘grant bequests for the establishment of gardens and concert-halls, rather than for foreign ‘missions. . 5 The lecturer then went into & dis- - sertationp on. - o EDUCATION IN GENERAL, = .and rehearsed, by . way of recapitulation, the main points of his :discourse, especially advocating the making of - home light, sunny,.and clieerful. He alsoadvocated the cultivation of the beautifwl in the wminds of the young. A German philosopher had once sajd: “ITappy is the man who has a hobby.” The expression was rather grotesque, but it was correct in fact.” Zvery man who had a pursuit, a relaxation, was happy,—happier’ than the dull rich man, who knew not what to do with. his time. Collections of butterflies and bugs were often made a means of amuséthent, even by cultivated men. IHe did not go so_far as to say that a eriminal could be reformed by making him' catch bugs and butterflies, but had thateriminal been taught when young to have a taste for some . ® innocent . recreation, he might avoid the conviet’s cell. .- =

i Ie said to the business men that they, too, should have some means of relaxation,—horticulture, agriculture, floriculture, or some other branch of industry for leisure hoyrs. He had no time to go into the great subject of moral education, which he¢ was compelled to reserve for anoth®r-tecasion. If he had been instrumental in exciting one noble, earnest thought in the minds of his audience in the interest of a reformed system, nok alone of: general, but of home -education, he would Le deeply grateful.
