The CHANGES OF TME.-Tbe recent
death of Mrs. Julia w. Garnet, wife Of
Rev. H. H. Garnet Of Allegheny City,
Pa, may remind some persons of the
time when she and her husband were
members of the school which was broken
up, at Canaan, n. H., by a mob, years
ago She was native of South Caro-
lima, and being driven away by mob
from a school in Canter bury, Ct, then
came to Canaan. DR.. Garnet who is
pure African, met her there where both
hoped for the privilege that had been de-
MED to them elsewhere. Being driven
from Canaan, she took refuge for .ime,
in the family of N. P. Rogers of Con-
cord, N. H. She was an intelligent
Christian woman and highly respected.
Her husband is well known in Vermont
and New Hampshire as an eloquent add
vocate Of his race. Prof Alexander
Crummell of Monrovia, Liberia, was one
of the colored sch lars that were forced
to leave Canaan.
We remember well to have listened to
a speech by Mr.. Garnet at an anti.sla-
very meeting held in Felchville in l847,
now twenty-three years ago. He was a
strong speaker, and went directly both
to the mind and heart. The same meet.
ing was addressed by Hon. Titus Hutch.
inson of Woodstock, who passed away
many years since, and by Joseph Poland
then and still resident of Montpelier
He was then the editor of the Freeman
andno publishes the Watchman & Jour
nal. AT that time the anti-slavery caus
was unpopular, and little did any O
them, or that audience assembled in tn
village church, ever expect to live to Sc
the total abolition of slavery and til
adoption of any such organic law as til
fifteenth Amendment, as announced la,
week. Such ace life's changes called t
mind by the above announcement.

THE GALAXY for April is replete with
good things. Charles Reade gives two
more chapters of Put Yourself in His

quite out of the beaten course in works
OF fiction. The succeeding article, :" Mr..

Jennings, is quite readable if not alto

ences. The time has not, perhaps, ar
rived when a correct estimate of ID. j.

nalist can be given. The Letters from
