be perfect in that preliminary requisite before they could proceed to advanced standing. It was not quite as in Marvell's satire on Holland, Invent a shovel and be a magistrate, but, Give us our dinner and then, it you please, what is called the intellectual feast. Any career you choose, let it only begin from the kitchen. As Charlotte Hawes has since written, First this steak and then that stake. So Mrs. Child published in 1829 her Frugal housewife, a book which proved so popular that in 1836 it had reached its twentieth edition, and in 1855 its thirty-third. The Frugal housewife now lies before me, after thirty years of abstinence from its appetizing pages. The words seem as familiar as when we children used to study them beside the kitchen fire, poring over them as if their very descriptions had power to allay an unquenched appetite or prolong the delights of one satiated. There were the animals in the frontispiece, sternly divided by a dissecting-knife of printer's ink, i

Fuller had left barely property enough to support his widow, and to educate the younger children, with the aid of their elder sister. Mrs. Fuller was in delicate health, and of a more yielding nature than Margaret, who became virtually head of the house. Under her strong supervision, two out of the five boys went honorably through Harvard College,--a third having previously graduated,while the young sister was sent to the best schools, where she showed the family talent. In the autumn of 1836, Margaret Fuller went to Boston, where she taught Latin and French in Mr. Alcott's school, and had classes of young ladies in French, German, and Italian. She also devoted one evening in every week to translating German authors into English, for the gratification of Dr. Channing,--their chief reading being in De Wette and Herder. The following extract will show how absorbing were her occupations:-- And now let me try to tell you what has been done. To one class I taught the German lan

environs of Cincinnati. Here, also, after a brief respite, they opened a school, of which-and particularly of the religious influence of which, and of a Bible class in Old Testament history which Harriet Beecher conducted — we have heard one of the pupils speak in terms of high praise. Miss Beecher at length gave herself up to the organization of larger educational enterprises,--to the furtherance of which her whole life has been nobly devoted. And on the 5th day of January, in the year 1836, Harriet married Professor Calvin E. Stowe, a man of learning and distinction, and, at that time, Professor of Biblical Literature in Lane Theological Seminary. For several years previous to her marriage, however, Mrs. Stowe had occasionally made her appearance, both in private circles and in the periodical literature of the day, as a writer of no little promise. Some of her productions of that period have not yet passed out of public notice. It now becomes necessary to refer to certa

he champions of woman's rights now claim. She was followed by Ernestine L. Rose, a native of Poland,--a woman of great beauty, refinement, and cultivation,--of generous impulses, liberal views, and oratorical power. She came to this country in 1836, addressed large audiences in Charleston, South Carolina, and in Detroit, Michigan, on The science of government. When it was announced in those cities, that a woman was to speak on such a theme, men made themselves merry at her presumption; but,sk alms; she proclaimed the living truths of the gospel of freedom, in public assemblies, as well as at the hearthstone,--to grave and reverend seniors in halls of legislation, as well as to her husband at home. Sarah and Angelina Grimke. In 1836 Sarah and Angelina Grimke, daughters of a wealthy planter in South Carolina, emancipated their slaves, and came North to lecture on the evils of slavery. They were high-toned, noble women, well educated, of keen moral perceptions, and deeply reli

d, and Scotland. Success, in every respect, continually attended her footsteps. She played by turns all the accepted leading parts in the legitimate drama, and her professional reputation was steadily augmented. One of her eminent successes was her personation of Clemanthe, in Talfourd's classic and beautiful tragedy, which was first acted at Covent Garden, May 26th, 1836. With Ion, too, one of the purest and brightest of all the denizens of the world of fancy, her name is identified. In 1836, she visited the United States, and made a starring tour of this country, which lasted three years. Her success here was very great, and she found the warmest favor, not merely with the general multitude of theatre-goers, but with the best educated and most refined classes in American society. Years afterwards, in 1865, when, after a long absence, she reappeared in New York, as Mrs. Charles Kean, it was remarked that many gray haired men and women appeared among her audiences, lured to unfa
