FEMALE EDUCATION.

Let your first care be to give your little girls a good
" physical" education. Let their early years be passed,
if posSible, in the country, gathering flowers in the fields,
and partaking of all the free exercises in which they de-
light. When they grow older, do not condemn them to
sit eight listless hours a day over their books, their work,
their maps, and their music. Be assured, half the num-
ber of hours passed in real attention to well-ordered stu-
dies will make them more accomplished and more agree-
able companions than those commonly are who have been
most elaborately ". finished," in the modern acceptation
of the term. The systems, by which young ladies are
taught to move their limbs according to the rtiles.of art,
to come into a room with studied diffidence, and to step
into a carriacre with measured action and premeditated
grace, are only calculated to keep the degrading idea per-
petually present, that they are preparing for the great
market of the world. Real elegance of demeanour springs
from the mind; fashionable schools do bUt teach its imi-
tation, whilst their rules forbid to be ingenuous. Philo-
sophers never conceived the idea of so perfect a vacuum
as is found to exist in the minds of young women who are
supposed to have finished their education in such esta-
blishments.

If they marry husbands as uninformed, as themselves,
they fall into habits of indolent insignificance without
much pain; if they marry persons more accomplished,
they can retain no hold of their affections. Hence many
matrimonial miseries, in the midst of which the wife
finds it a consolation to be always complaining of her
health and ruined nerves. In the education of young
women, we would say let them be secured from all the
trappings and manacles of such a system ; let them par-
take of .every active exercise not absolutely unfeminine,
and trust to their being able'to get in or out of a car-
riage with a light and graceful step which no drilling
can accomplish. Let them rise early and retire early to
rest, and trust that their beady. will not need to be
coined into artificial smiles in order to insure a welcome,
whatever room_they enter. Let them ride, walk, run,
dance, in the open air. Encourage the merry and in-
nocent diversions in which the young delight ; let them,
under proper guidance, explore. every hill and valley ;
let them plant and cultivate the garden, and make hay
when the summer sun shines, and surmount all dread of
a shoWer of rain or the boisterous wind; and, above all,
let them take no medicine, except when the doctor or-
ders it. The demons of hysteria and melancholy might
hover over a group of young ladies so brought up, but
they would not find one of them upon whom they could
exercise any power.—Poreign. Quarterly Review.

THE DEMAGOGUE.—BehoId the branded liar and coward, to
whom sedition is the breath of life ; his plebeian features are
marked with a certain malignant intelligence; nature has given
him an exterior irreparably rude and gross, and be affects a
brutality of manner, which he teaches the rabble to call honest
English bluntness. He prides himself on outraging every sen-
timent and prejudice dear to the feelings of a gentleman. 'There
is a sort of savage vigour in his speech, though much- of its
force is owing to its being clothed in the coarsest language that
the English tongue can tarnish_ If it were possible to conceive
the idea of a wild beast endowed with intelligence, which di-
rected but did not subdue his savage and treacherous nature, it
would be the nearest illustration of this political Caliban : his
business is to corrupt society at the foundation, but he succeeds
in endangering the fabric only when it is under the care of neg-
ligent or unskilful guardians.—Gleanings from the Scrap Book.

THE MASTER MANUFACTURERS AND THE TRADES' UNION._
In our last paper we stated that the master manufacturers in
this district had determined, before taking any decisive steps in
resistance of the Trades' Unions, to memorialize the government
on the subject of the spread of these unions and their interfer-
ence with trade. and to beg for their counsel and advice. Since
that time the memorial has been prepared, and sets forth the
existence of combinations, called Trades' Unions, including
many thousand workmen, bound by secret laws and regulations,
taking (as is confidently believed) secret oaths, and subscribing
weekly for the accomplishment of their objects. It states that
the committee of the union have extensive powers vested in them
by their constituents, and that that' take upon them to dictate
tg, individual masters the rate of wages to be given, as well as to
interfere with the masters in the management of their business
and the controul of their servants, in the most vexatious and
harrassing manner. It further alleges that many workmen are
induced to join the union from a fear of the consequences of
refusal—that the committee order strikes of the men at their
pleasure, and that the turn-outs annoy and often
,personally at-
tack and injure men who are willing to work. l'he memorial
alleges that these interferences between masters and men are not
guided by enlightened views, but are often as ignorant and ca-
pricious as they are arbitrary. and that they have had the effect
of inthicing some manufacturers altogether to withdraw from
trade, and others to contract their operations. The memorial
then declares that this state of things is calculated greatly to
impede trade, to damp enterprise, and to injure all parties. he
masters mention the objections and difficulties there are in the
way of a combination arnonz them, to turn off all the workmen
connected with the '1 fades' Union ; . and in conclusion, they de-
mand the protection of government for the free exercise of in-
dustry and employment of capital, and request the counsel of
ministers as to the course they ought to pursue. We hear that
all the principal manufacturers in the woollen line, in the towns
and neighbourhood of Leeds, Huddersfield, and Halifax, have
signed the memorial, and that it will be despatched to London
without delay.—Leeds Afereury.
