Of these authors a notable instance was the late Myra Kelly, whose adaptations in story form of her experiences as a teacher to the foreign population of the "East Side" of New York will long remain as models of their kind. Journalism is a sufficient field in itself for a woman writer in which to exercise her ability, as well as a preparation for creative literary work.

He is led especially to strong antagonism against the French tragedy, and he indulges in a lengthy consideration of the passage of Virgil on Laocoon, showing the necessity of suffering and the pathetic in connection with moral adaptations to interest us deeply.

The marks of design in Nature left in his mind no room to doubt that there was a Designer. "The structure and adaptations of the horse harnessed to the buggy in which we sit, exhibit the infinite skill of a Creator." The rudest workman would not fling The fragments of his work away, If every useless bit of clay He trod on were a sentient thing.

India chintzes were printed upon white or tinted grounds of hand-spun cotton, in colors so generously full of substance as to have almost the effect of brocaded stuffs, and adaptations from their designs were suitable for embroidery.

Then James, in the same strain, refers to the way in which God had visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name; and concludes by two quotations or adaptations from the Old Testament, which fitly sum up the whole matter: "The Lord who doeth all these things." "Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world."

Frequently, these verses, called "stornelli" and "rispetti," are composed by the peasants themselves, women as well as men; the language is the purest and most classical Italian, such as is spoken at the present day in the provinces of Siena, Pistoja, &c., very much less corrupted by foreign idioms or adaptations than what is spoken, even by cultivated persons, in Florence itself.
