it is to principles and acts they look. They

DEBATES FOR THE LADIES.

Query--Ehich IS placed i7fhe mast IN
pleasant situation--1he man wh0 mayries q
second zcsfe au;th the children Of the first
grozun up-the 7u0mau married under such
circatmstances--or the children 7cho are Mus
subpAanted in their fathers affection ?
Mr.. MEANWELL.
In discussing this interesting question, j,
IS necessary, in the first place, to fix a de-
ter inmate age for the parties concerned, es
pecially the children, who must be more or
less affected, according to that circumstance; !.
it they are ofsvery tender years, it is pro-
babe that a fathers second choice may
prove advantageous to them, as woman OF.
a good disposition ndrefned manners may,
have. the, power TO act by them with a de-,
gree of steady and iodicious conduct, in a
manner more to their benefit, than the par
tial indulgence Of their natural parent might:
Periait, In this case, it is sen to one, but
the mother in-law has the most unpleasant
situation. Blind to the 70 i5les of his own
offspring, and perhaps tendJyly attached to
the memory Of his former wife, the hus-
band thinks her correction Of their little fol-
bles too severe, and mixed with a certain
indehnable sensation ofiealousy-the chill.
dren too, perceiving the bent of their ia
thers's idea, repay her solicitous cares with
discomfort or obstinacy they conceive that
she exercises her prerogative unjustly, and
from the Liberal opinions generally enter
tanned against seep-moshers, suspect her Of
g greater portion Of malice and ill-wl! to-
wards them than her conduct merits. 1t isl
these mistaken notions which create the un- |
happy divisions i'll families, and render the I
situation ola mother-in-law the inset irk- :
