FEMALE LITERATURE.

There is no subject of greater interest than the
education Of females. 50 much of the pleasure,
elegance, and happiness, of life, depends upon it,
that it should be AN object Of primary consideration
in every family. The increase Of female sennaries
IN this country cannot but he contemplated with
the highest qualification and We rejoice whenever
an opportunity is afforded US Of presenting inter
