e Fusileers, the Sweet Sappers, the Modern Miners, the Pretty Pioneers, the Side-saddle Cavalry, will not be wanted until all our men are killed. Not being a woman, and still less a she-soldier, we cannot undertake to speak with absolute accuracy; but we should be a little dubious about the female fighting after the quietus of all the men. How will Mrs. Col. Cotton be able to lead the Heavy Mothers to the charge, when her dear departed no longer animates her by his martial smile? How will Arabella, of the Light Artillery, deport herself at the guns, when Augustus sleeps in a soldier's grave? Who believes that the Maid of Saragossa would have rammed the great cannon with such astonishing virulence, if there had been no gallant gentlemen looking on? To return to our Diary. On Monday, 14th ult., we find the following discouraging entry: The war does not progress. As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, and as the thirsty soul panteth after the whiskey barrel, so does this man

olmes was constitutionally conservative, and the element of whim came in to make him even more so in appearance than he actually was. His favorite character, Little Boston, was a fanciful exaggeration of his own innocent cockneyism. In his day Beacon Street was still precisely what he called it, The sunny street that holds the sifted few, and young men and maidens in good society carried on their courtships while walking round the Common or down the long path or on the mill-dam. Whom does Arabella walk with now? was a question occasionally heard in careful circles of maiden aunts. Holmes did not really desire any larger social arena, and moreover got all the rural life he wanted through his summer visits in Pittsfield. He was conservative on the slavery question until the Civil War, hated quacks and fanatics with honest and unflinching hostility, and it was only the revolt of his kindly nature against Calvinism which threw him finally on the side of progress.

a zest which certainly comes by nature, not by instruction. You might as well say that there is no instinct in the way a kitten plays with its first mouse as to deny the instinct of humor to the child when she first makes believe that her doll Arabella is naughty. No matter how red Arabella's checks are, how flossy her hair, how blue her winking eyes, she is liable at any moment to be dethroned from power and put in the darkest of dark closets for a purely imaginary sin; while plain Jane, armArabella's checks are, how flossy her hair, how blue her winking eyes, she is liable at any moment to be dethroned from power and put in the darkest of dark closets for a purely imaginary sin; while plain Jane, armless, legless, and featureless, is enthroned in her stead. The doll really appeals to the child's whole nature, not merely to the affectional part of it; land a doll's house with no sense of humor brought to bear on it would be a blighted home. It was in the full appreciation of what she said that a little girl remarked to me, many years ago, holding up a doll of her own sex whose legs had wholly vanished, See! he's broke both his legs short off; he has to walk on his drawers. There was no
