completed. The poetic conception Of the subject
is the creation of her own mind, aud the en-
bodiment of it is all done by her own hands;
even the hard, rough, mechanical portions Of the
work She employed man to chop of some
large bits Of marble; but as he was unaccustomed
to assist sculptors she did not venture to have
him cut within several inches OF the surface she
intended to work. Fl
This beautiful production OF her hand and soul
Is called He.rer, Tie Eycuins star
1t has the face Of lovely maiden gently falling
asleep with the sound of distant music. Her hair
isgracefully arranged and interwned with cap
sules OF the poppy. 4 star shines on her FORE
head, and under her breast lies the crescent moon.
The hush OF evening breatles from the serene
countenance, and the heavily dro )piog eye.lids.
4 felt tranquizsd while looking at it, as do when
the rosy clouds are fading into gray twilight, and
the pale moou-sicke rises slowly over the din
woods.
The mechanical execution Of this bust seemed
TO me worthy Of its lovely end life. like expression.
The swell! of cheek and breast is like pure, young,
HEALTHY aeth, and the muscles Of the beautiful
mouth are so delicately cut it seems like a ttdcg
that u eathes.
One has no need to qualify praise by saying this
is an extraordinary production for womaa, and
very young woman, too. 1t is certainly eminontly
feminine ia its character, but the best sculptors
of our country need no. feel ashamed to have
produced such work. II Miss IIosNER's future
efforts are OF progressive excellence from this
starting p, iDt, worldwide celebrity awaits her.
Her father was not aware that he was training
his oDlJ child for such result and had he not
been unconscious what the germ woalL unfold, he
probably tould not have aided nature so well as
he has done The death Of her little sister made
him willing to sacrifice everything to insure her
health therefore he encouragtd her TO live in the
woods and OH the rivers, and was wise enough
not to insist upon conquering her aversion to the
thousand Laiputiar cords by which society binds
down the bodies and souls OF women. She inner
tied strong, coed sense, but she did not inherit
genius for AIT. Whence came the glorious en-
dowmcnt 1t was the growth of her uniettered
life, of her fres communion with rivers trees, and

to her soul Though in he full flush Of eager,
ymtt'ni aspiration, Miss IIosIER places just
value upon scientific rules. Few artists among us
have such an accurate knowledge of anatomy.
tier fathers profession was Of service to her in
this rt spect but she was not satisfied until she

however high may be the object to which they
propose to consecrate those faculties. There
10 more freedom in the West in this respect /;
therefore tie energetic Girl went TO st Louis,
where SIC devoted al enthe winIer to medical
lectures and anatomical drawings. Her constant
fttusal TO attend parties, and her unremittiDg mp
picatioa to Science as the handm I'D Of Art, of
course appeared very eccentric 70 some. The
word IS Gssuredly moving onward, but it is very
slow to learn tina. Woman also, has n right to be
an individual. The world is prone to treat genius
