Lydia H. Sigourney. Rev. E. B. Huntington. Were any intelligent American citizen now asked to name the American woman, who, for a quarter of a century before 1855, held a higher place in the respect and affections of the American people than any other woman of the times had secured, it can hardly be questioned that the prompt reply would be, Mrs. Lydia Huntley Sigourney. And this would be the answer, not simply on the ground of her varied and extensive learning;: nor on that of her acknowledged poetic gift|; nor o that of her voluminous contributions to our current literature, both in prose and verse; but rather, because with these gifts and this success, she had with singular kindliness of heart made her very lifework itself a constant source of blessing and joy to others. Her very goodness had made her great. Her genial goodwill had given her power. Her loving friendliness had made herself and her name everywhere a charm. So that, granted that other women could be named,

Our pioneer educators. Rev. E. B. Huntington. To woman rather than to man, and to woman in this century rather than in any former one, belongs the credit of preparing the way for the future liberal education of women. Heretofore the aids to her education have been few and defective. A really liberal education for her has hardly been possible. Collegiate and University courses have been closed against her; so that if occasionally a woman has succeeded in gaining the reputation of a scholar, it has been mainly due to her own unaided exertions,--a triumph of her personal genius and will. We have reached a state of public sentiment now, however, which, partially, at least, accords to woman the right to enter any field of literature or art, which she may choose; and, to a certain extent, we are furnishing her with such aids as for generations have been furnished for her brothers. Already we are gathering excellent fruits from this advance made in our theory and system of woman

ument about thirty thousand dollars. In the Dublin Exhibition of 1865, Miss Hosmer offered to the public the Sleeping Faun, in marble of life size, which was sold on the day it was opened for five thousand dollars. Sir Charles Eastlake said, If it had been discovered among the ruins of Rome or Pompeii, it would have been pronounced one of the best of Grecian statues. It was exhibited again in the Universal Exposition of Paris, 1867, where, with the great paintings of Church, Bierstadt, Huntington, and others, it gave to tie most aesthetic nations new apprehensions of the progress and honors of American art. Among the many pieces of marble statuary of modern artists, says the United States Commissioner, E. C. Cowdin, Esq., none was more admired than the Sleeping Faun, a figure of antique grace finely conceived and admirably executed. The Waking Faun, a companion piece, at a recent date was only clay. It is owned, with a second copy of the former, by Lady Ashburton, of England.
