HINTS TO YOUNG LADIES'.

fyOung women waste their time in trivial amusement, the prime season for improve. mcnt, which is between the ages of sixteen and twenty, they will thereafter regret bitter. ly the loss, when they come to feel them. selves inferior in knowledge to almost every one they converse with and, above all. if they should be mothers, when they feel their inability to direct and assist the pursuits of their children, they will then find ignorance a severe modification and a real evil. Lee this animate their industry; and let not a modest opinion of their capacities be dis couragcmcnt to their endeavors after knowl- edge. A moderate understanding, with dili- gent and well directed application. will go much farther than a more lively genius. if attended with that impatience and inatten- ton which too often accompany quick parts. It is not for want of capacity that so many women are such trifiing nsipid companions, so Unqualified for the friendship and con- ycrsation of n sensible man, or for the task Of lnstrucling or governing a family it is oiiener the neglect ofexercising the talents they really have. and from emitting to cul- tivate a taste for intellectual improvement i; by this neglect, they lose tho sincerest pleas ures, which would remain when almost eve- " other forsook them, of which psither for- tune nor age could deprive them, and which would be n comfort and resource in almost every possible situation in life.
