GRACE GREExwooD.--This well.known
and deservedly popular authoress lectured
at Days Hall on Thursday evening last on
"The Men and Women of Twenty Years
Hence--the Children Of to-day" 1t is not
our intention TO give report Of the lecture,
but will content ourseIf with saying that it
was worthy the head end heart of the lee
turer--which, to all who know her as the
lover OF children, birds and flowers, and os
writer who has devoted much time, thought
and labor to set Alright The minds of parents
in regard 10 the true method of cult;vating
tho minds cnd forming the characters Of
"the men and women Of twenty years hence"
--is sufficiently explicit. GRACE GREEN.
WOOD is by no means "strong minded wo-
man," in the popular meaning of the phrase,
but woman possessed Of good, practical
sense, and kind and loving heart. Indeed,
If all the strong. minded women Of our day
were Grace Greenwoods, our opposition to
the appearance of the sex upon the rostrum
would be sadly shattered.

THE Fruit PRosPEcT.-Itis is rather earl
70 speculate certainly as to the prospect
Of the fruit the coming season. But th
