FEMALE EDUCATION.


Iapprehend that the modern mode of educating
young ladies' is not calculated to render them so
useful as that of their matrons. Many men, if they
obtain bare suffciency to support themselves and
theirs, in genteel style, anxious that their daugh
tiers may receive as polished educatons as those of
their richer neighbors, without considering, for
moment, their capacity to learn, or the limited pari-
mony they will inherit. have known many children,
whom their parents thought possessed of uncommon
genius; whose paintings as fiat as the paper
they colored, and whose music rivalIed that of

amusements and extravaganza that she enjoyed in
a virgin state, but finding by sad experience, that
he could not support his heavy rents and extrava-
giant parties, together with horse and chaise, he
"screwed his courage to the sticking place. and
suggested to his wife the expedency of reuench

high notions ofthe lady, compor as she thought,

beloved until his creditors turned him out of house
