EDUCATION OF FEMALES,
BY REV. E.. H.. MlNSLoW.

The greatest danger to females, at
the present time, is the neglect of Co
nestle education. Not only to ,hem-
sevles, but to husbands, families, and
the community at large, does this dam
ger impend. BY far the greatest am
cunt of Happiness in civilised life is
found in the domestic relations, and
most Of this depends on the domestic
culture and habits of the wife and mo-
ther. Let her be intellectually educa-
ted as highly as possible let her moral
and social nature receive the highes,
gnaees of vigor and refinement; but
long with these, let the domestic viz
tues find ample place.
We cannot say much to our daugh-
tiers about their being hereafter wives
and mothers, but we ought to think
much of it, and to give the thought
prominence in all our plans for their
education. Good wives they cannot
be, at leas; for men of intelligence,
wi,hou, mental culture; good mothers
they certainly cannot be without it ;
and more than this, they cannot be such
wives as men need, unless they are
good housekeepers; and they cannot
be good housekeepers without a thor
ough and practical teaching to that end.
Our daughters should be practically
taught to bake, wash, sweep, cook. set
table, make up beds, sew, knit, darn
stockings, take care of children, nurse,
and do every thing pertaining 20 the
order, neatness, economy and happi-
ness of the household. All this they
can learn as we'll as not, and better
than not. 1t need not interfere in the
least with their intellectual education,
nor with the highest style ofre6nement.
On the contrary, it shall greatly con-
tribute thereto. Only let that time, or
a portion of it, which is worse than
spent in idleness, sauntering, gossip,
frivolous reading, and the various mo-
dern female dissipations which kill
time and health, be devoted to domes-
tic duties and domestic education, and
our daughters would soon be all that
can be desired. A benign, regenera-
ting influence would go forth through
all the families Of the land. Health
and JOY would sparkle in many now
lustreless eye; the bloom would return
to grace many faded cheek and doc
tors bills would soon give way bills of
wholesome fare.

1t takes long time for the world TO
grow wise. Men have been busying
themselves these six thousand years,
nearly, to improve society. They have
framed systems ofphiIosopby and gov
eminent, and conferred on their own
sex all the advantages which power,
wealth and knowledge could bestow.
They have founded colleges and insti-
tutions Of learning without number,
and provided themselves teachers of ev-
cry science; and, after all, the mass of
mankind are very ignorant and very
wicked. Because the mother, whom
God constituted the frt teacher of eve
ny human being, has been degraded by
men from her high Office; or, what is
the same thing, been denied those pri-
vi!eges of education which only can
enable her to discharge her duty to her
children with discretion and effect
God created the women as help meet
for man in every situation; and while
he, in his pride, rejects her assistance
in his intellectual and moral career, he
never will succeed to improve his ma
ture and reach that perfection in know
ledge, virtue and happiness, which his
faculties are constituted to attain.
If half the effort and expense had
beensdirected to enlighten and improve
the minds of females, which have been
iavished on the other sex, we should
now have very different state of So
ciety. Wherever a woman is found
excelling in judgment and knowledge,
either from natural genius or from bet
ter opportunities, do we not see her
children also excel' Search the re-
cords of history, and see if it car be
found that a great and wise man ever
descended from a ,ceak and foolish mo-
Their? So sure and apparent is this
maternal influence, that it has passed
into an axiom Of philosophy, it is ac-
knowledged by the greatest and xisesl
Of men; and yet, strange to say, the

that in attempting to improve society,
