She was a successful teacher of girls in Bangor, Me., and afterward she was principal of the Charlestown Female Seminary, at that time a popular and widely-known school. The judicious criticism and commendation of her teacher. Prof. Abbott, first stimulated her ambition to be known as an author, but her pen was mainly inspired by her desire to assist in educating young women. For the last fifteen years Mrs. Goodwin has been intimately associated with the educational work of Wellesley College. She is an active member of its board of trustees and of its executive committee, and has also written and read to the students of Wellesley many essays on art, the studies for which were made in the great art centers of Europe, where she traveled in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Her first novel was "Madge" (New York, 1864), and was favorably received. Mrs. Goodwin regards it as the least worthy of her books, though it was written with as high an aim and as serious a purpose as any of its successors. Her second book, "Sherbrooke" (New York, 1866). is a story of New England life. The success of that story was instantaneous. Her third book, "Dr. Howell's Family" (Boston, 1869), was written during months of great physical pain, and many readers regard it as the author's strongest work. After the publication of that book Mrs. Goodwin was for several years an invalid and employed her been only in writing short stories and sketches and letters from Europe to religious newspapers. "One Among Many" (Boston. 1884) added to the well earned success of its author and gave new evidence of her ability to represent real life. Another of her well-known stories is "Christine's Fortune " (Boston), a picture of German life. "Our Party of Four" (Boston, 18871, describes a tour in Spain Perhaps to "Dorothy Gray" the highest praise is awarded by critics and literary friends. Mrs. Goodwin's extensive reading, her knowledge of art and her acquaintance with foreign cities have given her pen a rare facility. Culture, refinement and morality characterize all her work.

That was to the Postmaster-General from the then district attorney of Baltimore, and a note from Mrs Gen. Grant. The Postmaster-General turned my case over to the then Commissioner of Patents. Gen. Leggett, who gave me a place in the drafting oftice, but. upon its being made known that I was a fluent French and Spanish scholar, I was often called upon to translate, and finally they placed me at a separate desk and kept me at that during the whole Grant regime, giving me only translating to do. Indeed. I may be said to have inaugurated the desk of 'Scientific Translations' in the Patent Office. When Mr. Hayes came in, Mr. Schurz, Secretary of the Interior, put in a requisition for a 'new translator.' My salary had been $1,000, but the desk becoming a permanency, the salary was rated at $1,600, and Schurz, without ceremony, put in one of his political friends, transferring me to another place as correspondent, at $1,200. My friends were indignant, since I had done the work of organizing that desk, and. acting on their advice, I resigned, but was immediately reappointed in the agricultural department. I was the assistant of Mr. Russell, the librarian. His health soon failing, I was promoted, on his retirement, to the office of librarian " Mrs. Stevens in time past wielded a ready and facile pen.

# Women worth Emulating

Women worth Emulating.
BY
CLARA L. BALFOUR.
"Oh, let me emulate the good and wise;
Gaze on their course, and mark their way,
Until my mind and soul, like theirs, may rise—
Bathed in the light of Heavenly day!"
London: SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION, 56, OLD BAILEY.
Butler and Tanner, The Selwood Printing Works, Frome and London.
Preface.
mulation is the spirit most desirable to arouse in the young. What of personal progress and relative usefulness has been effected by others, is always a valuable and inspiriting study. That which we are constrained to approve and admire we are led to emulate, even where imitation may not be possible. The sterling qualities which made a character excellent, still more than the mental powers which made it remarkable, convey lessons for instruction and encouragement that all can apply.
It is with this purpose that the following varied selections of womanly worth and wisdom are ​presented to the young of their own sex, in the hope that studious habits, intellectual pursuits, domestic industry, and sound religious principles, may be promoted and confirmed by such examples.

# Auckland Star/1888/England and the Islands

ENGLAND AND THE ISLANDS
APPEAL FOR PROTECTORATE
Rurutu and Rimatara are two important islands lying between Rarotonga and Tahiti, which, on account of their proximity to the latter place, have entered to a large extent into trading relations with the colonists of French Oceania. They appear, however, to be in no way enamoured of French control, as may be judged from the facts just reported from Rarotonga. The King of Rurutu and the Queen of Rimatara have just paid a visit to Rarotonga, having learnt of the proclamation of a British protectorate over that and adjacent islands, and being hopeful of finding the war ship there, and persuading her commander to extend his proclamation to their territories. Being disappointed in this they drew up the following petition, which has been forwarded by Mr Exham acting British Consul at Rarotonga:—"November 27, 1888: Petition from the King of Rurutu and the Queen of Rimatara and their nobles, to Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, and to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. May you have good health. We, Teuruarii, King of Ruruta and Te Maere, Queen of Rimatara and our nobles, ask for a Prime Minister to place our islands and our ships under the protection of the British flag. These are the islands, namely, Rurutu, Rimatara, and Maria, and these are the names of the ships: Faaito and Ronui, and the masters of the same are natives. This is our word to you: Do not forsake us; we are your children; you taught us the word of God, and that has led us in the path of civilisation; therefore we know that you are a good parent to us. The thoughts of the children cling fondly to their good parent; they do not wish to be separated from their good parent. If the parent forsake the children, the children will seek the parent; so do we; we are like those children, and we ask that you will give us your flag to protect us. We have heard that you have taken Rarotonga and the neighbouring islands under your protection, but we remain without anyone to protect us. When we received the news that Rarotonga and the neighbouring islands were placed under your protection, we wept aloud because we were forsaken by you; we were afraid lest we should be adopted by another parent. The strange parent we mean is the French. They did not feed us with the milk of the gospel, but you did, O Great Britain; you fed us with that milk which has given life to us. This is our last word to you; we do not wish for French annexation or protection, not at all, but we wish you to be our parent, O Great Britain. We pray you now to accede to this our request. This letter was written in the house of Queen Pa.—Teuruarii, Te Maere Arii.
