Education and the Sexes.

The plan of educating boys and girls to-
cether is growing in favor. For long
time the great authority in support of the
system was Horace Mann, the most eminent
of American educators. Originally he had
grave doubts with regard to the desrablli-
ty of system, but in 1852 he was made
President Of Antioch College, and after
five years experience he came to the cou-
clusion that these doub,s were without
foundation. In letter to friend, which
is frequently quoted, be says:-" We have
really one Of the most orderly, sober, dill
gent and exemplary institutions in the
country. We passed through tho last
term, arc more than half through this and
| have not had occasion to make single
entry Of any misdemeanor in our record
book" Gradually the system which thus
received the sanction of Mr.. Mann has been
adopted in great many of the States.
In 1870 it was introduced into the Uni
versty OF Michigan, one of the largest and
most flourishing in the Union, and although
the period since elapsed is toe short, one
would think, to test such an experiment,
the result is spoken of in the most enthusi-
astc manner. President White, of Cor
nell University. has also satisfied himself
of the superior advantages of the co'educa-
ton of the sexes. And now a movement
has been set on foot to admit them to
Harvard also. This has not yet been
done but in published report one Of the
o7erseers of the college states that he be-
lieyes "the system is good in itself; that

An EMINENT DIvINE,-The most emil

don OF st. paul's Cathedral. Recently he

hear him fiji all the seats and all the

There is probably no preacher in England
who uniformly attracts so large audiences.

height, dark complexioned, hair jet black,
and features regular and handsome. He
reads his sernons, but rs very free from
bis manuscript, so much so that he seems
to have none. He scarcely gestures with
either hand, but throws his body back and
forward, to tie right and left, and often at
an intermediate angle, with impetuous &C.
ton. 1t seems as ii his body was in q
sling, and his head the point Of concen-
trated force from which the thoughts and
arguments are projected with immense
power. He has high, far reaching tenor
voice, very sympathetic and pleasing, and
combines in rMarkable degree culture
and intellectual iOnce.

A HUSBAND AND WIFE REsoUED.-Peter
Finn and his wife Bridget, of New York
City, never could agree. They intended
to cross the Catharine ferry to make q
visi. in Brooklyn. On the way they en-
gagged in one of their periodical wrangles.
At the foot of Oliver street they quarreled
violently. Mrs. Finn said she was tired
of life and ready to die, and so saying she
ran across South street and sprang off the
pier. Her husband ran after her, calling
her back in the most endearing terms.
Officer Frank Murphy leaped into the
water after Mrs. Finn. When Mr.. Finn
saw his wife struggling he exclaimed: :" Ii
Bridget dies, I'll die with her." With this
he also sprang off the pier, and as soon as
he came near enough to his wife he
tightly embraced her and both went
down. The officer got into boat close
by and waited for the couple to rise to the
surface. As soon as they did the officer
grabbed them. In the struggle of the
woman to rid herself of her husband, the
officer lost his hold, and they went down
again. When they rose the second time
the officer met with better Success and
managed to haul them into the boat ex'
hausted. They were taken to the police
station, and there were well cared for.

Indian Summer.

The rains that have fallen, so joyous
in their gloom to some and so desolate
to others: the grayer tone OF the skies,
the sere leaves. denuded trees, dried
grass. and whistling winds are the gate
way through which the glory OF the
American year-its Indian summer-is
entered. In spite of the mathematical
calculations of the almanac men Indian
summer is a movable feast. IL comes
with the frost and before the snow. 1t
comes when the cornfields are all
harvested, and while the boys are gather
ing the latest glories of the orchard;
when Maud with Marion are searching
for the last flowers and the most brilliant
leaves among all with which the Ameri-
can fall decorates American forests be-
fore they are surrendered to winter. 1t
comes when the furnaces are lighted IN
town and plains laid before the indoor
eniovments of coming months.
Other countries have their seasonable
superiorities. Nothing can be finer than
the lush greenery of perfect summer
day in England; when all is repose ana
the atmosphere and the r. W seem
freighted with wealth. The - den
burst of spring, garnished with flowers
and all but developed to summer at Its
very birth in Italy, is fine. A winter
day in Holland has been glorifed by
both painter and poet. But Indian
summer is more bravely and gorgeouslys
appareled here than they all; is decorat-
cd with colors they never know; leu
elimpses of sunlight make burning
enues that seem unreal on canvas;
the squirrel and partridge and duck
a deer to tempt the hunters skill and
