En- our lorncr numbers We at.
tempted to shcw that the time
spent in reading novels, and such
OTHER works as have tendency to
stimulate the passions, infame the
imagination, and lead the fancy'a-
stray in regions far above the sober
realities of life, isnot merely thrown
away, but worse than wasted. 1t
Is miss-emp.oyed in sowing the
seeds OF dePravity III the youthful
mind, which IN due time cannot
fail to produce the rank harvest Of
in,quity, and consequently misery.
We shall ow proceed to enquire,
what are the arts and sciences III
which women should be instructed
and what ought to be their ordina,
~ employment.
To these enquiries, it will be i'm.
possible to direct answers, which
shall be applicable in all points, to
al classes III society; and the ge-
MUS, disposition, personal and
mental advantages o different pu-
pills, even III similar stations, may
render it necessary to vary the
modes Of education in youth, and
indicate d Herent methods of en-
ploying time IN the more advanced
periods of life We shall however,
give some general rule on this sub.
]ect which will apply TO the middle
ranks OF society, and the most nu-
merous portion of American wo-
men.
The archbishop Of Cambray,
was OF opinion that women should
from their infancy be accustomed
TO have the direction Of some de
parlment in their fathers house ;
they should keep the accounts,
learn to purchase the various arti
cles used in house keeping, and
know how each may be employed
to most advantage meanwhile,
care must be taken that economy
degenerate not into avaricc. EX-
plain the folly of this passion, re-
mind them that it increases with
age, that it is very disgraccrul, ard
that prudent women should ONLY
endeayour by a frugal and diligent
life to avoid the shame attached to
prodlgality and extravaganza.
1t is necessary to curtaiI all use
less eXpenccs III order to be more
liberal i'll acts of bencvolence, cha
rity, and fricndohip. Frequently
that which costs most is ultimately
cheapest, and it is a general good
management, not a mean parsimo.
