The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1827-09-22

The following extract is taken from mas
terly Grafton, pronounced by Samuel l.. Knapp,
Esq at Dartmouth College, before the society
Of Phi Beta Kappa. August 10, 1924
Sour rational blessings and honours have a
moral security at the present time, which was
hardly known to former ages. The sun Of sci
ence, which in earlier days, only Illuminated
the visions Of seer and sage, now beams etful-
gently On the female mind, and lights the buoy
ant and youthful steps of the rising generation
OF females to an elevation with man. There
was once doubt Of equality in intellectual pow
crs: this doubt has been removed and now,
those who once were the sturdy adherents to
the doctrine Of masculine superiority are ready
to lend their and to the advancement of female
instruction. The revolution of wisdom, which
now ponrs IFS rays upon US, has changed the
laws OF Eden by the consent of its Creator
The woman may now partake of the tree Of
knowledge, and give it to her husband and hill
dren to eat, and it viii prove to them the fruit
OF the tree of life. When the infant is we'll IN
structed, the full grown man cannot be ignorant:
what a mother knows. she easily communicates
to her child nature and affection make teach
ers beyond all that the schools can boast Never
then, oh, never let US grow rcmss in our exer
tons to cultivate the principles Of learning in
the female mind. The harvest will repay the
toll thousand fold. The philosophy Of the
head and heart in union, WILL in all future time,
hail Jenlale education AS the bow set in our he
mlsphere of knowledge, as the token of a cove
nant, that God will never suffer the torrent of
ignorance to dcluge the human mind. nor The
dark ages OF superstition to return upon man"

picturesque scenery, state Of society, morals and

winch may, or may not, correspond with the actual

the most fascinating and beautiful descriptions is
the following, from the pen of one of our own po-
cts, Perciva;
Deep in the wave is a coral grove,
Where the purple muliet, and goldfish rove,
here the sea flower spreads its leaves OF blue,
That never are wet with falling dew,
Bot in bright and changeiul beauty shine,
Far down in the green and CLASSY brine.
The floor is Of sand, like the mountain drift.
And the pearl shells spargle the tnty snow;
From coral rocks the plants lift
Their boughs, where the tides and pillows flow;
The water is calm and still below,
For the winds and waves are absent there,
And the sands are bright the stars that glow
In the motlonless fields of upper air:
There with its waving blade of green,
The sea-hag streams through the silent water
And the crimson leaf of the dulse is seen
TO blush, Ikea banner bathed in Slaughter:
There with light and easy notion
The tan-coral sweep, through the clear deep sea;
And the yellow and scarlet tufts Of ocean,
Are bending like corn the upland lea:
And life in rare and beautiful forms,
Is sporting amid those bowers of stone,
And IS safe, when the wrathu spirit OF storms,
Has made the top OF the his own:
And when the ship from his fury flies,
here the myriad voices of ocean roar,
Wien the wind god frowns in the murkv skies,
