FEMALE PREACHING.

FEMALE PREACHING.
 The editor of the Camden s. c. Jour nal, IS on most occasions an honest fellow and chivalrous, so far as the ladies are concerned-he even brides himself upon his special gallantry-he would have the world, or at least all the fair creatures who inhabit it, look upon him as a very knight errant-anOther Amadis de Gaul-and yet he had the temerity to pen the para graph, which we quote below. Why in the name of consistency, brother Daniels, should not women be heard-in the church as well as in the parlour2 Why should not the meek invitations to virtue and holi- ness De listened to from the lips of the pu- rest and most beautiful of Earth-as well as from the rude, the stern, the unforgiyinp and the forbidding? We all know that the loveliness of virtue is never more ap- parent than when we hear it's praises som the impassioned heart and lip of wo- man. The ladies already are beginning to monoPelize business-thanks to the kind creatores,-Nhey are taking upon their own Pre'ty serves "-s burthens hitherto borne by the lords of N<eation."

 Female Preaching.-Thc Viscountess Powerscourt, a beautiful and young Irish widow, is preaching and expounding the Scriptures at public assemblies in Brussels, with great eloquence and -fervor. She O. pens the services with hymn of which af. ter touching Piano Forte, she gives ou the melody and first stanza. We should like very much to attend the young widow services" provided when she set dowI to the Piano, she continued there til " meeting ended," but as to the preachinI portion of the concern, Good Lord de liver us.'' The woman who preache ought always to ride into the pulpit boote' and spurred, upon Virginia Race Horse and commence services by boxing mattel with an Irish bully. We would as soon SCI this /" fascinating" Viscountess pitchin quoits with a Yorkshireman, for a mug Q two-penny ale, as hear her preach. Hea a woman preach-faugh
 
 Dress the Mind.-On the Sunday morning before going to church, what { dressing there is among all classes, ,and wha a stir to appear gay and pleasing ! Is quite sufficient for the great purposes Q our existence to wash the outside of th' platter? Curls may be arranged, fine tor toise shell combs fixed, sparkling ear-ring hung, splendid garments placed, and ye perhaps the gay fair one's mind may b poisoned with conceit, troubled with rival ry, and kept on the torture by ignoranc and vanity. Windsor soap does not was out the stain of the heart. Cologne wate cannot throw fragrance over an impur mind nor will all the rubies of Golcond dazzle the recording angel into forgetful ness of filling up the leaves Of the book retribution.-N0t. AdyocGte.
