AMERICAN LADIES.

Perhaps there Is no country In the world
where the women are more completely do
nestle than they are in our country ; and
none where female influence Is more ge-
nerally felt 4 his Is the most happy cr-
cumstance !; and 1t affords most pow eriui
argument in favor of female education
1t is trlte know, but very important to
remark, that when ladies are distinguished
for domestic habits and virtues, their mu-
tua influence is very great.
They mould the hearts, and to a great
degree, form the understanding of the fu-
ture fathers and mothers in our country
Now they who have in their hands so great
a part of early education, certainly ought
to receive that cultivation Of heart and
mind which would fit them for the discharge
of the very important duties of their sta
ton This is no easy WORK. 1t demands
skill and Judgment as well as attention.
Surely preparation ought II be made for it,
that it may be done well Look at the
majority of girls of eighteen, in the coun-
try, and see what are their qualifications
for place at the head Of household.
But female influence is felt not only in
domestic life ; it reaches to every part OF
sociey Every where it ought to be in-
tellectual as well as sensitive intelligent
as well as affable; good as well as pretty.
No where indeed are they more pure and
delicate, than among ourselves but if to
those graccs Of the female character were
added suitable mental Improvement, the
effect on the whole community would be
most happy. higher spirit of literature
would peivade our states and young men
would spend that time in study, which they
now waste in dissipation A lofier tone of
moral feeling would be awakened, and we
might hove to witness the purity without
the extravagances of chivalry.
