of Eden by the consent of its creator, The woman may now partake of the treeof know ledge, and give of it to her husband and chil- dren to eat. and 1t will prove to them the fruit of the tree of life. When the infant is well instructed, the full grown man cannot be ig- nOrant; what mother knows, she easily com municates to her child: Nature and affection make teachers beyond all that the schools can boast! Never! then, oh, never! let us grow amiss in our exertions to cultivate the principles oflearning in the female minda The harvest will repay the toll thousand fold.- The philosophy of the head and heart in un- ion. will, in all future time hal female education as the bow-set in our hemisphere of knowl- edge, as the token of covenant, that God will never suffer the torrent of ignorance to deluge the human mind, nor the dark ages of superstition to return upon man."

 "Air ! air !'' cry room full of compa- ny,when lady faints, the window is thrown open, and the glad breath of the universe enters and restores her.
 1t is astonishing that we should recog- nize thus instinctive, the vital principle by which "we live and move and have a be- ing ;" and on almost every occasion oflife, neglect, as if we could do without it. Af- ter the fainting, for instance, the window is shut again, ,and the spirit of existence sent about it's business, like village apotheca- Try. We get up without air; we break fast, dine, and sup, without air we write, read, and perform every avocation possible without it: and then beauties lament their roses, and the manifest wonder that they become" nervous" Neither beauty nor manliness can do without the hsl lp of nature. The reason 1 why the richer classes are handsomer than the others, is not that they have nothing to do, or that 'gentle blood' is bit better, or gentler than other blood. Their having nothing to do is bad for them and their 'gentle blood" if left to itself, would soon get ferocious with high living. The rea- son is, that they take more exercise, spend great deal more time in the country, and arc gifted by their education with supe- rior turn for grace and enjoyment. We doubt whether they have fewer cares than the middling classes, though their cares may be of different sort but they car ry them off better by dint of their horse- back and country air, and their opinions partake of the liberality of their move- ments. They do not turn domesticity into vice or mere habit, and then take the carking importance for virtue. Ladies on horseback are apt to be thought mascu- | hUrx HA is rNskx our opinion, that all women cannot afford to ride on horseback we are sorry that some are so rich as to possess more horses than they want, and others too poor to have any. But there are few women so poor as not to be able to take more air, and exer- else moro than they do and if they did this, they would get wiser, ,and criticise one another with good temper more becom- ing to their sex. A female jocky is nuis- ance, and no woman. The best thing we can hope of her is, that her father was an ostler. But Sophia Western on horseback is another matter. A rile before dinner about the Regents Park, or towards the western Harrow, is only dance that be- comes the loveliest. It sends bloom into their cheeks and brightness into their eyes, and being natural and healthy, serves to re- tain them there. The famous Diana de Poitiers who at an advanced age excited the astonishment of BraDtome, and preserv- ed the love of king many years younger than herself, used to ride out for two hours every morning {; after which she lay down and read. Her books perhaps taught her this wisdom and her exercise enabled her to enjoy them. There is notion that air spells the complexion. Itis possible that an expos ure to all weathers might do so though fl gipsy beauty is to be said to have bad complexion, it is one We are very much in- clincd to be in love with. A russeton ap- pie has its beauty as well as peach. At all events, a spoilt complexion of this sort is accompanied with none of the melancholy attending the bad complications that arise from late hours, and spleen and plodding, and iadolence, and indigestion. Fresh air puts wine in the blood that lasts from morning to night. and not merely for an
