Looking at these lectures of Mrs. Cove apart from
prejudice, and with every desire to do ample justice
to the sincerity and enthusiasm of her lovely listen

they give rise to. Here is female Of whom the fair
inhabitants Of this city know but little and for whom
few short weeks since they cared less proposes to
exround to them every mysterious movement in the
complicated machinery of the human frame; to tell
them in "good set terms" Of things that they have
before been taught to think of with dread fnot with
fear and trembling and show them parts and parcels

their redundancy, and clothed in the garb of modest
language. But here is Ariers last report-let it
speak for itself.
Dear interchangeable to your bidding Iattend
ed the two last lectures of Mrs. Cove on Monday
and Wednesday, and here is the substance OF them.
The room on both occasions contained more beauti-
full ladies than have any where except at the
Ladies' Fair at the Lyceum. As soon as Mrs. Cove
commenced speaking, several sweet girls took out
their pencils and tablets, and took notes. nestled

demanded Her subject cannot name III plain Ian
of lady from Is to so; she described its effects in
very poetic language, and in plain prose told them
they must not drink tea or coffee when 50 circum-
stanced, or they would never get over it. At this,
there a general whisper amongst the ladies, and
CONSERVATION painted on their faces. eff you will
drink strong tea" said Mrs. g., ''yoa as bad
the topper that will take his glass; although he die for
it, She then said something about vice in solitude,
which / could not understand, rs i have always
thought that ladies could do wrong, unless gen.
tleman with them either to tempt or be tempted,
as Adam was with beautiful Eve in the garden Of
Paradise.
She then told them they must not do this any more,
and those that had done il might perhaps be benefit
ted by temperance and abstinence, but il was like
shutting the stable door after the robbers had broken
into it. Mrs Cove told them that she disked TO
anatomical terms and proper for such delicate
matters, but that if she made words of her they
would not understand them. and in the arti-
fetal and corrupt state OF society and morals in this
magnificent metropolis, lady could lose anything
by having things called by their right names
At this, there was general rustling of silks and
moving Of hands, which almost threw out Of my
which am sure she would not have done had she
known she wore me
Like her heart upon her sleeve"
Mrs Cove then proceeded to expatate upon the
mysteries and niseries Of what she called dodging"
and said there was reason why females o. culd

s" A nd you easily prevent this" said she, "by
putting your house Of flesh in order and make every
tenant, including your husband, keep within strict
limits; indulsen not in any thng-be tenperate-make

Dear master, 1 cannot tell you what she said ladies
were to saw and i'll told you, you could tell your
fair readers. AT any rate this may tell you, that
she said they should act like the drawer ola note due
in Wall street, get few days grace from the holder
when hard pushed for money, or the consequences
might be serious At this there was general litter
round the amongst the single ladies, and much
serious whispering amongst the married. She told
us also that Dr. Francis said that and cutane

Here there was general expression Of wonder and
delight, as Mrs. Cove proceeded to unfold and de-
veope the beauty and mystery Of the internal struc
ture Of the female form; in glowing terms she painted
the superb springs Of life, action, pleasure and pain
how each spring worked-how much tension
each would bear-what oil Ito speak mechanically

achinery and how the strained springs might be
braced and rcnov ated-how far we might go and no
farther. Ga, had you seen the Frightening Of the
