THE HOME EDUCATION OF GIRLS


We are not bachelor, but have attained
TO the State of double bic ssedness; and NJ {
only so, but honofs Of this respectable posi-
ton have been since advanced bienniaIly
LII regular seometricaI progression. We
may, therefore presume upon right to
speak of the Home Education of young girls
and young ladies. Now it is our deliberate
belief that the course of female education at
the present cay, is radically defective; the
great end, being, not to make intelligent,
useful, and agreeable members of society,
but fine ladies'. From the time the child
leaves the nurses arms till it blossoms into
womanhood, all efforts, in far too many ca
ses, are directed solely to this result. The
cultivation of the affections the discipline
Of the mental powers; and practical and
thorough preparation for actual duties, are
too generally esteemed of secondary impor-
tance, compared with the external graces
which are to make figure in society,"
And weak, fond mothers, never feel so gra-
tilted as when their daughters are able to
exhibitthe airs and flaunt in the plumage
of fashionable fine ladies. lfthe world in
which young ladies' are afterwards to move,
were an ideal world, as mauy Of them seem
TO toimagine,--if womanhood brought with it
no cares; if friends were always to smile,
and fatter, and caress, and life had no stern
realities, ,-thenall this might be well enough
But il is not so. And to many one the
spell. which at this blissfuI period promised
but golden blessings in the future. has been
abruptly broken, only to reveal to them, in
the bitterness ofgrief, how poorly the ideal
qualified them to enforce the actual.
~ The siIliest of all notions that ever entered
Mthe minds of young ladies and Of their
snammas, is, that it is disreputable to be ac-
quainted with any habits of useful industry.
in this country: at least, whore few parents
can bequeath to their daughters, large for
tunes and where few husbands can cup

e5the most ridiculous t.phantasy. There is
certainly no reason in the nature ofthings.

ry length ofthe hair Of the head, rs deduced
from its measurement in woman ranges b.
tween twenty inches and yard, the latter
being considered usually long. Bat in
some instances the length is much greater;
as in case ola lady in whom am informed,
it measures :wo yards, :.nI tr!s on the
ground when she stands erect When,
however, hair is kept closely shaved, it ap-
pears to become persistent, and at the same
times increases in strength and bulk 1t
has been calculated by curious invcstiga-
tor, (Withof,) that the HAIR of the beard
grows at the rate Of one line and half in
the Week this will give length ofsix inch.
es and half in the course of year, and
for man eighty years Of age, twenty seven
feet which have fallen before The edge of
the razor. Such an amount Of growth an.
pcarsin no wise remarkable, when we learn
from Eb!e that in the princes court at Ell
dam there isa full length painting Of car
pen:er whose beard was nine feet long, so
that, when engaged at work, he was obliged
to carry it in a bag; and that the bnrgomei-
