His idea of the child its tendencies, its nature and what its" train ing should be happily accords with the views entertained by most of the people call saints. Ihe theory is all ed Latter-daright the difficulty lies in carrying it out practically. We think as Col. Parker does that when children are, trained, in that way the world will have entered upon a higher plane,- and the Millenunim will come.

If the people of this generation can be made to see the necessity of training, it may have a wholesome effect upon those to be born in the future, and the few who accept this higher ideal m,ay leaven the whole in due process of time.

Hand in hand with pianoforte practice, often extending over eight hours a day, Miss Edwards carried on other studies, more especially that of her own language and literature. Of both she was a patient and an ardent student, and the results were the critical acumen and purity of style which characterised the author later on. Some charming little musical stories belou sr to this period, and soon appeared her first novels, 'Mv Brother's Wife,' and 'The Ladder of Life,' followed by her great success in fiction, 'Barbara's History.'

When white men first, came to this country European goods were traded to the Indians, and these in time were buried, in the mounds made for this purpose; $n many beautiful things are found that are wrongfully termed the work of a pre- historic race.
