The next topic Miss G. d"ells upon. is the
treatment of children-and as she appears TO have
spoken with most delight on that, So we confess
we have read her observations upon 1t with most
pleasure Miss Green declares herself IN favor
of the old fashioned discipline OF the birch; and
gives, if indeed any were wanted, the most de,

But we must tear ourselves away from Miss
Green In doing so, however, we cannot but
give her dear, parting words! She speaks OF the
! high and interesting task imposed on her, by the
mai tiahty of her friends and fellow citizens, IN
the following beautiful peroration:-
