the stories OF Dickens are in perfect har-
mony. The two great reformers protested
vigorously against the interference Of inter-
meddling ADULTS with the full Geve.opment
or the individuality Of the child. They rsc-
ognized the divinity in each child 30 fully
that they objected to all stamping and
molding" processes by which it's selfhood
was dwarfed or warped. Other educators
and refOTmers had considered the problems
OF human evolution from the standpoint Of
, the adult, and had asked, What can we do
TO tit the child for its work." Froebel and
Dickens asked. How can we help the child
10 grow by its own self-activity?" They
were the great apostles of childhood They
began the struggle for the freedom of child
hood from the restrictive interference Of
acuithood.
Dickens is commonly regarded merely as
an educational critic. This is narrow and
unfair view. He was a great critic. He
aroused the Indignation of the civilized
world against those who treated childhood
inhumanly. and the hatred of adult tyranny
which he awakened developed loving smy-
pathy for children. But he could not have
so clearly exposed the wrong In education
without having a definite conception of the
right. He was the greatest destructive edu-
cational critic, but he was also most ad-
Xanced, positive. constructive educator.
There Is no great ideal of the new cduca-
ton which is not revealed by Dickens in
his novels or his miscellaneous writings.
Dickens was the first Englishman OF note
TO advocate the kindergarten. In July, 1856
he published an article of eleven columns
in Household Words which would take a
leading place If compared with the papers
read at a meeting of the International kim
dergarten Union to-day

Il need not say that soon after this Colin
Marshman became the husband of Dolly
Melody. They have a pretty house in Shep-
perton. Dolly, needless to tell, has given up
teaching London ladies how TO swim, but
Marshman and she are still afloat very
often in the "Saucy Arethusa." They go up
to London for a time, in the season, in order
that Dolly may see the theaters in which
she delights. Marshman is very happy,
and he told me the other day that he is
really going to turn to at last, and throw
his intellect, whatever it may be, he mod
estly added, into something. l think that
perhaps If / were he, / should be content
with being happy-but still, if he wants
other success as well, 1 sincerely hope that
he will turn 10 and accomplish his some
thing. Anyhow Dolly will be there, and the
sea will ebb and flow and bear on its waves

the typewriting is better paid than the lit

In a fair competition. America has got its
growth and no favOrs need be asked. The
competition Is not exactly fair as yet, how
ever, for various reasons. Surprising that
there were twenty-five really gifted Writera
in England and an equal number in Amer
lea, the former would still be in position
of advantage. In the first place, England
offers better opportunities for the produc-
ton of literature. Not only do the better
periodical offer more satisfactory market
for solid writing, but the book-reading pub
lie is larger and there is a more ready ap-
probation of new talent. Again. England
occupies the strategic center. An English
success Is a world success. while a really
marked American success may not be heard
of outside of America. Our remotenesS
from Europe must long make us In a sense
provincial. even when our development -

American authors have a certain reputation

Lord God. Thou lettest the green things start
new life every year;
Out of their sunken selves they rise,
Erect and sweet and clear;
Behold the lily's pure. white leaves
Unfolding by each mere!
Again the sap mounts in the FIR
Thro every swelling vein;
Again the clover stirs ard thrills,
Responsive to the rain
Again the tender grass makes green
The lone breast Of the plain
Hear the new. the golden flood OF song
The lark pours to the blue
Behold the strong. undaunted shoot
Pushing it's brave front through
The fallen tree. Lord God, Lord God,
Let me begin anew
Ont of my own self let me rise,
For God. IL II can be

From yon decaying tree
Surely a strong pure life may mount
Out Of this life of me.

NIAGARA'S VOICES.
They Are Not Rumbling or Rapid. bu
Plangent and Silvery.

Plangent and Silvery.
Niagara has many voices, and somt
of them are thus described by Mrs
van Rensselaer, in the Century: "Ant
the noise Of Niagara? Alarming
things have been said about it, but
they are not true. 1t is a great ant
mighty noise, but it is not, as Henne'
pin thought, an outrageous noise IL
is not a roar 1t does not drown the
voice or stun the ears. Even at the
actual foot of the falls it is not op.
pressive. 1t is much less rough than
the sound of heavy surf-steadiT,
more homogeneous, less metallic, very
deep and strong, yet mellow and soft;
soft, mean, in its quality. AS to the
noise of the rapids, there is none more
musical. 1t is neither rumbling nor
sharp. 1t is clear, plangeIt, silvery.
1t is so like the voice of steep brook
much magnified, but not made coarser
or more harsh-that, after we have
known it, each liquid call from for
est hillside will seem, like the odor Of
grapevine, greeting from Niagara. 1t
is an inspiriting, an exhilarating
sound. like freshness, GOODNESS, vitality
itself made audible. And yet it is a
lulling sound. When we have looked
out upon the American rapids for
many days, it is hard to remember con-
tented life amid motionless surround
ings and so, when we have slept be-
side them for many nights, it is hard
to think of happy sleep in an empty
silence. Still another kind of music is
audible at Niagara. 1t must be list
ened for on quiet nights, but then it
will be heard. 1t is like the voice of an
orchestra so very far away that it's
notes are attenuated to an incredible
delicacy and are internationally per-
ceived, as though waited upon varia-
BILE zephyrs. 1t is the most subtitle, the
most mysterious music in The world.
What is it's origin? Why should we
ask? Such fairy-like sounds ought not
to be explained. Their appeal is to the
imagination only. They are so faint,
so far away, that they almost escape
the ear, as the lunar bow and the fluted
tints of the American falls almost
escape the eye. And yet we need not
fear to lose them, for they are as real
as the deep bass of the cataracts."
