TIE OCTOBER QUARTERLIEs-(scotf Repubicaon.)
Tie opening article in "The London Quarterly
treats of the Brazilian Empire, arguing from itz pro
press and condition in favor Of the superiority Of
monarcbica over republican institutions In the next
paper many curious and interesting details are given

One objection still remains unnoticed, which is
plausible at first sight and which beyond doubt ought

Ourselves and by taking the heart out of those who do

chimes. We believe that these arguments have been
mged on the Continent. We frequently hear them
among ourseves. As Ia the FIST head, there il,
doubt, always danger of vicaTious charity; bEt
Ibis remark is applicable to every kind of association
for 81 aiable purposes. Ladies who live IN the midst
OF afigence very often Padty their c9rscienees by
subfOItion, when they ought themselves to do some
work among the poor But this Is far less likely TO be

Which they rec tEdt tDClf COONTa'On WOuld ne

amply demonstrated by experience to he true. The
Ri' le-women in London have brought into the field
Of active labor many ladies who had benevolent I'M
mles but who previously did not know how or
where t. begin. Such We have observed to be the
process in other large towns. And in the course Of
what have written have given illustrations of
tie same truth from the Continent. We all know
what COMMITTEES are; how frivolous the excuses for
neglect or Absence low great the hack of moral
age, how heavy the burden on the member who

some Committees probably no harm would result; but
TO many Committees she would give new heart be-

We must now leave before the public what we have
written with light serse of it, scriOus importance.
If our view is correct there is great work TO be done
in and BY the English Church, which IA vet has been
attempted only in few places and on a small scale.
Our conviction Is that, If the Gospel Is to have
stronger power over the next generation than It has
over the pretent, We must look chiefly to our women
