sing many admirable and some unpleasing qualities, and these in sufficient uniformity to cause their being liked and disliked — especially the latterin a body. Horace Mann, who was a person of rather vehement preferences, and who, as a lawyer, knew the brothers well, once said to me that if Margaret Fuller was unpopular, it was nos of the paternal race. Several of the Fuller brothers I can distinctly remember, and, to one thus recalling them, it is not difficult to comprehend just where Horace Mann's dislike came in, although to some of the brotherhood he doubtless did injustice. They were in general men of great energy, pushing, successful, of immense anockings than she had ever known in her life before. This combination of unexpected knowledge and amazing frankness in its proclamation shows what a critic like Horace Mann, himself not wanting in self-assertion, might have found to suggest antagonism in forty Fullers. Of a family thus gifted and thus opinionated, Timothy Fuller

le the improvement of the schools in 1844 was commendable, there were exceptions. Some children have a habit of always behaving as bad as they can upon every introduction of a new teacher. In some instances, one or two whole quarters have been nearly lost by this means. Parents were held by the committee as partially responsible for such rebellions, which sometimes were not quelled until the refractory had received the severest punishment or been expelled from school. Not long before, Horace Mann had reported that more than 300 schools in the State had been closed in a single year, because of the incompetency of teachers or the insubordination of pupils. Cambridge, in 1844, had not completely emerged from this mania of school insurrection, the sad product of false and strained relations between the teacher and the taught, but the good work of deliverance was well under way at that time. Scolding and fretting, angry and reproachful words, are fast giving place to milder and more

ion of woman to professional life and the higher ranks of intellectual exertion, up, and throw into her scale this omnipotent weight of your determination to be served by her, and by no other! In this matter, what you decide is law. There is one other light in which this subject is to be considered,--the freedom of ballot; and with a few words upon that, I will close these desultory remarks. As there is no use in educating a human being for nothing, so the thing is an impossibility. Horace Mann says, in the letter which has been read here, that he intends to write a lecture on Woman; and I doubt not he will take the stand which he has always done, that she should be book-taught for some dozen years, and then retire to domestic life, or the school-room. Would he give sixpence for a boy who could only say that he had been shut up for those years in a school? The unfledged youth who comes from college, -what is he? He is a man, and has been subjected to seven years tutoring; but

theirs to chain the millions to himself; and then this far-sighted statesman discovered that there were people inclined to underrate the influence of public opinion. [Laughter.] Three cheers for the man who gave the State a new motive to send Horace Mann back to Washington, lest we should be thought guilty abroad of shocking bad taste in the old imperial tongue of the Romans. [Laughter.] Three cheers for the man--(O, I like to repeat the Book of Daniel I)--three cheers for the Whig, the Massaassachusetts representative looked North; we saw only their backs. They have always looked to the Southern Cross; they never turned their eyes to the North Star. They never looked back to the Massachusetts that sent them. Charles Allen and Horace Mann, no matter how far they may be from the level of what we call antislavery, show us at least this cheering sign. While speaking, they have turned their faces toward Massachusetts. They reflect the public opinion of the State they represent.

[Hearty applause.] Antioch College staggered under $60,000 debt.
