"a MOMENTS work on clay tells more
than an hours labor on brick. SO work on
hearts should be done before they harden.

"THE late nj. Littre had a theory that
man was not carnivorous animal, and
that light and air were far more essential
than animal food. He shared the opinion
of Darwin in regard TO the origin OF species,
and the wits observed that his puckered
and strongly marked physiogonomy war
wanted his opinions respecting his an
cestry."
"THE Times desires the privilege of pro-
testing that Octavia Bassett is not typical
American girl nevertheless, and is not SO
) to be recognized by any who love their
country, and who hope that our girl when
she grows up will live, move, and have her
being in some more useful, more elevating,
more refined, more intellectual occupation
than wearing clothes to astonish rustics and
exhibiting diamonds to dizzale simpering
fools. 0ctavia Bassett, we learn before
reading "A Fair Barbarian is frank, in
dependent, high-minded, well-bred, we'll
educated, magnifcently handsome young
woman; and she has the ex.
quisite satisfaction of breaking couple Of
spooney but aristocratc English hearts,
captivating everybody worth the winning
and snubbing, and notifying everybody
who is snubbish and suppercilious. But the
novel when read does not seem to contain
Just this sort of superbly successful girl. Il
is felt all over the world that the true type
of womanliness has certain characteristic
which are not liable to be modified by cir
cumstances Of geography. The woman who
Is to do heroic things is not the universe
becouse heroism is not universal The in
tellectual, as distinguished from the in
tensely emotional woman, is not universe
type, because intellectually, as disctinct j
marked way from susceptibility to emo
ton, is not universal. The Amazon take
her name from river; the type is locs
and rare the name Is used by coward
fellows to abuse intellectual women whe
b they suspect with reason that the intellect
ual women understand them well enoug
to despise them, as pretenders or white
Sepulchres."
