He was the father of Mrs. Henry F. Means, of Greenville, who also spent muny years of her girlhood there: but now the place goes into the hands of a colored man, who lives in the old homestead and is happy. Mr. G. 11.

There are depths in it not yet sounded. Philosophy has not concerned itself with children to any great extent. The Galileans who were annoyed that little children should" ' be around when there was one there ready to speak ioridwDiv-fied Vc prevalent thought of tVat day and of this". In discerning and reojying to that thought there is a recognitionj of the fact that the renovation of the worklis to come through the children. Discerning tlie indifference of the adult generation, it was an intuition not uttered before thai a proper "bringing up'' of those young beings then in their mother's arms would make this world as God would have it. llut how "briug up children'.' Indeed ! Is this uot known to the human race? Did not Solomon say, "ltring up a chil l in the way he should go?" Ilut what is the way be should go? The world lias striven to do that very tiling according to its best conceptions. It litis felt there was meaning in the words of Jesus, and has interpreted tbem in various ways. Rousseau, a versatile Frenchman, in fact a genius, that ntrected his age profoundly, undertook to study fl|e child and found the field an untrodden one. Strange as it may appear, it was true that lie muruiu; e coiiocrimig me cuii'l was, lip to liis time, exceedingly niengur in extent. What there was, was mainly didactic. It fol.l./tyed 'lie trticK of ihc Jewish proverb-writer And jiojnted rut tout tie must Li; "made to ratijr yuUllt. j-'orwqrdness ntus) | minu ... ,n"rn nia k??ous and I be checked: he must .v.. " -? ?? j ask 110 questions. in fact, the lneiut.... hearing on the child is not only scanty, but what there is disp'ays a pessimistic spirit and a belief in an indwelling evil disposition that would most probably set at naught all efforts for good that might he devised The belief in an inborn tendency to evil in the child was conceived in the dusky past and handed on from generation to generation. A belief in the ctlicicncy of the rod, to meet these ev 1 tendencies, is probably quite as ancient, so that Solomon is not alone to be charged with having turned the human race aside from a thoughtful investigation of the phenomena of child liiu--.side-lrttckiug H. as it were. At till events', the human race wiih | side-tracked until the words were spoken : i Lot u>e have little children: by .My teaching i they will become such that this earth will be as (iod intended it lobe. They will cheerfully obey his laws. The philosophy of the child was not yet ready to be written. Nearly two thousand years went by. Then, in IT nice, some one was born who made the world think about the child. II is own thinking was of a very strange sort: but it resulted in selling the great Vestaloz/.i to think and to teach, lie in turn was followed by his remarkable pupil, Trocbel, who I gave his whole life to an exhaustive study ot means to develop childhood. We have imw arrived at an eta in which the study of the child is felt to he important The day of repression is over: the day id' development has collie. The belief that the Creator implanted tendencies to evil in the | child is no longer held The i|itcslion that j is asked is, what is meant by the possihili'y | asserted in the phrase, "Of such is King1 duin of Heaven.

The beneficial effect of the 1)' ckery lull heretofore referred to in my letters, is being fe t in the Sixth Auditor's officii.

The Committee on Foreign nfl'airs have reported back Mr. Hill's resolution requesting the President to transmit all information received by him on the Hawaiian question since his last message to Congress, and recommend that it be adopted.

Tito tine inwardness of the matter will be thoroughly ventilated by ilie Republicans for campaign purposes. Wlulc the Democratic party tnay not be in thorough accord witli the policy of Mr. tiresham, 1 very much mistake the temper and feeling of our Representatives if they do not bring this matter to a successful termination.
