FOR TIE LADIES.
FEMALE OBLIGATION.

From the last number of the Boston Spec
tator and Ladies' Album, we extract the fol-
lowing on this subject.
Every female should be so educated,
that she will make good wife, an Affection
ate and kind mother, capable Of giving 70
her children correctly the first lesson of
moral and religious duties, and be a living
example to her offspring Of social and do
mestic virtues. This qualification is indis-
pensable, and includes no more than is at
tanned by the ordinary means now in possess.

added, so far as the mind is enlightened
and the heart made better, viii more com
plctely finish an education, and teach self.
government, a complete control over all the
actions, and in great measure, the opera
tions of the mind and affections of the heart
The duty Of female does not require
that she should address the public, or speak
in the halls of legislation, or enter the lists
of eiectioneering; but these subjects should
be well understood by every one. The la
Dor generally is not great to become well
acquainted substantially acquainted, with
the true merits of each case, aud be able,
without entering inte the rancor of party,
to give fair and plain statement, and to
impress upon the infant minds around her,

"Woman is spectator upon political
transactions, and has means to discover the
motives and views of the actors, better per-
haps, than those actually engaged in the
heart, and collision of parties. She can i'm
part to her offspring much valuable instruc-
tion upon this subject But in the incipent
stages Of thought in moral and religious du-
ty, the mother has the sole command of her
children. Ii she be pious, rational and well
informed, the force of her example and
teaching viii descend to future generations.
Indeed, we have the declarations of Richard
Cumberland, and many distinguished litera-
ny and valuable men, that their taste for
science and moral excellence was laid, excit-
ed and encouraged by their mothers. These
men in tender years were not surrendered
to the women i'll the nursery to hear every
bugbear and lullaby that could excite curios-
ity and assuage the pcevishness Of childhood
No! they were enveiopcd in maternal af-
fectjon, chastened by sound reason.

saying, that the minds and habits of chill

attachment of children is generally strong

tachment lasts till death. For what man can

indeed
"Now since all young females intend to be
wives, the great Importance of their being
well educated, will not be denied; neither
will deny that the present mode of female
education is not sufficiently expensive; but,
at the same time, declare it grossly defect

The procession halted again on the top of
the Mount of Olives, endeared by so many
sacred and glorious remembrances, and pass
ing By the ruins of Bethphage,a lat last arrived
at the rock, in which is hewn out the tomb
of Lazarus. Every one descended into it,
and the excavation was scarcely able to- con
tain the whole number. The narrow flight
of steps leading down to it., allows very
partial light, even in the daytime, but now
the sacred spot was wildly illuminated by
the number of torches held beneath. The
fame that waved in he open air as they
marched along, now burnt clear and steady.
On the fnor of the sepulchre stood all the
priests, while the pilgrims hung round and
bent over them with the utmost eagerness
and interest, to catch a glimpse Of the tomb
where the body of Lazarus had lain. 1t is
about the size of the human form, and is
followed out in the middle Of the rocky floor.
The chant was here of the most solemn and
impressive kidd, of the victory gained over
death and the grave by the power of the
cross, and of the resurrection to life eternal.
Save the voices ofthe priests all without,
in the village of Bethany, was hushed in the
deep silence of the night. When the party
left the sepulchre, the daylight was already
breaking, and returning slowly by the same
route, the gate of St. Stephen admitted them
again, as the rising sun began to crimson the
East.

she is old, unmannerly, ugly and avaricious.

From "Letters from The East"
VISIT TO THE TOMB OF LAZARUS.

One morning we paid visit to Prccopius,
Greek bishop, who received us with great
politeness. The convent is remark ably clean
and neat, though the number of monks is
not very large; it contains numerous apart
ments for the accommodation of the Greek
pilgrims. The jealousy between these peo-
pie and the Catholics is very great; the lat
ter, however, possess the ,nonasteries At
Bethlehem and Nazareth, which must bring
them in pretty considerable income; but
thelformer have lately made the most alarm
ing encroachments in the Holy Church of
the Sepulchre, where the Pope's empire,
like that of the Sultan, is Fastening to decay.
The chapel, erected on the tomb of the Vir-
gin Mary, in the valley, they divide between
them. A procession of the Catholic priests,
accompanied by several pilgrims, took place
at one in the morning; and we we're engaged
the evening before to be of the party. There
was no moonlight, and as the path was rath-
er narrow and devious, number of torches
were carried. The object of this procession
was to visit the tomb of Lazarus; but as ma
ny other sacred places were comprised in
the tour, several hours were necessary for
its accomplishment. 1t was quite dark, and
about an hour past midnight, when the pro
cession issued out of the gate of St. Stephen,
and decended the side of Mount Zion in good
order. The pilgrims were barcfooted, and
marched slowly and solemnly after the
priests, who chanted as they went along.
The party stopped at the Garden of Geth-
semane, with signs of much grief and trou-
BILE, and sung and prayed, and then ascend
ed Mount Olive, over the beautiful side OF
which the torches cast a doubtful and glimme
ring light. The pilgrims were men of diff
ferent ages and countries, but all discover
ed marks of the deepest reverence and I'M

The showers descend as softly there
As on the loveliest Aow'r,
Nor does the moonlight seem mnc fair
