out those? Woman's place in domestic lite
is peculiarly adapted to the development of
her higher nature, those loliier human pow
ers. Surrounded as she is by objects of her
love, and engaged daily and hourly in the
delightful employ of administering to their
wants, promoting their pleasure, and tender

Hence the stamp of her character. The evil
lies in this, that her powers are made to ter
inmate too much in domestic life, where
they have their rise, and are centered. This

The very fact that woman's mind differ

why she should have a larger sphere for be
