We have received the Ladies Repositoru'
for February. 1t contains two fine engravings
and has besides five illustrated articles. Mrs,
Gardiner completes her story 'fIow Elliner
Dane became an Invalid" "The Astrologer's
Glass is continued. "The Legend of obin
Hood, is from the pleasing pen of Prof D..
H. Wheeler. There is an excellent article on
"Goethe's Relation to Christianity and q
large number of shorter articles, both prose
and poetry. The Repository shows excellent
editorial management, but we some times
wonder if the NJ. E. Church does not contain
ladies of sufficient intelligence and culture to
conduct their own Magazine. 1t would seem
very strange TO have q gentleman maya zine
edited by ladies, but not whit more incon.
gruous than the present custom whereby the |
ladies' literature is sifted and arranged and |
parcelled out to them by gentlemen. We know |
that the Methodist Church contains ladies Of |
good education and natural refinement who |
know the wants of their own sex much better |
than they can ever be known by members of |
the other sex, however crudite they may be. !
The ladies Of that Church never presume to /
enter the minister's peculiar sphere, and it |
seems but justice to them that he should step
out of theirs. $3.50 per year. Published by
