mportant a part in the great programme of Providence; but their recognition of human brotherhood is rarely of a kind to be trusted in emergencies. In most cases, it is not skin deep. Those who were Abolitionists in the teeth of popular opposition are the only ones who really made the case of the colored people their own; therefore they are the ones least likely to be hoodwinked by sophistry and false pretences now. To us the present crisis of the country seems more dangreous than that of 1861. The insidiousness of oppressors is always more to be dreaded than their open violence. There can be no reasonable doubt that a murderous feeling toward the colored people prevails extensively at the South; and we are far from feeling very sure that a large party could not be rallied at the North in favor of restoring slavery. We have ho idea that it ever can be restored; but if we would avert the horrors of another war, more dreadful than the last, we must rouse up and keep awake a public

e Safe Way, proved by Emancipation in the British West Indies and elsewhere. This shows the same systematic and thorough habit of mind with its predecessors; and this business-like way of dealing with facts is hard to reconcile with the dreamy and almost uncontrolled idealism which she elsewhere shows. In action, too, she has usually shown the same practical thoroughness, and in case of this very book, forwarded copies at her own expense to fifteen hundred persons in the slave States. In 1864 she published Looking towards sunset, --a very agreeable collection of prose and verse, by various authors, all bearing upon the aspects of old age. This was another of those new directions of literary activity with which she so often surprised her friends. The next year brought still another in the Freedmen's book, --a collection of short tales and sketches suited to the mental condition of the Southern freedmen, and published for their benefit. It was sold for that purpose at cost (sixty

n or more editions. They were followed in 1846 by a collection of Tales, mostly reprinted, entitled Fact and fiction. The book was dedicated to Anna Loring, the child of my heart, and was a series of powerful and well-told narratives, some purely ideal, but mostly based upon the sins of great cities, especially those of man against woman. She might have sought more joyous themes, but none which at that time lay so near her heart. There was more sunshine in her next literary task, for, in 1852, she collected three small volumes of her stories from the Juvenile Miscellany, and elsewhere, under the title of Flowers for children. In 1853 she published her next book, entitled Isaac T. Hopper; a true life. This gave another new sensation to the public, for her books never seemed to repeat each other, and belonged to almost as many different departments as there were volumes.

The critics complained that this memoir was a little fragmentary, a series of interesting stories without sufficient method or unity of conception. Perhaps it would have been hard to make it otherwise. Certainly, as the book stands, it seems like the de

ly 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 ver Her next book was the most arduous intellectual labor of her life, and, as often happens in such cases, the least profitable in the way of money. The progress of religious ideas through successive ages was published in three large volumes, in 1855. She had begun it long before, in New York, with the aid of the Mercantile Library and the Commercial Library, then the best in the city. It was finished in Wayland, with the aid of her brother's store of books, and with his and Theodore Parker'

minds; had it been possible to avoid this, she would have succeeded. Not only is there no irreverence, but the author is of almost too sympathetic a nature to be called even a rationalist. The candor is perfect, and if she has apparently no prejudice in favor of the Christian religion, she has certainly what is rare among polemics who tend in her direction,--no prejudice against it. She takes pains — some readers would say exaggerated pains-to point out its superiority to all others. In 1857, Mrs. Child published a volume entitled Autumnal Leaves; Tales and Sketches in Prose and Rhyme. It might seem from this title that she regarded her career of action as drawing to a close. If so, she was soon undeceived, and the attack of Captain John Brown upon Harper's Ferry aroused her, like many others, from a dream of peace. Immediately on the arrest of Captain Brown she wrote him a brief letter, asking permission to go and nurse him, as he was wounded and among enemies, and as his w
