Duties of Young Women,

MUCH gOCu auVlCe mas Oeen addressed
to young women of late years, and it will
moi be the fault Of our ethical writer's, if
the present generation of females is not
nearer perfection than any preceding one.
But little volume, just published by G.
w. Briggs, 403 Washington street, is real.
ly the best on the subject, that has yet fal.
len under our notice. 1t is from the pen
of the Rev. E. H. Chaplin, and consists Of
q series of discourses delivered within the
last three or four months in this city. Mr..
Chaplin is the master of pure, vigorous
and elegant English style, and his senti-
ments are of a character that will NEE,
with ready response in oil enlightened
minds and liberal hearts. We have but
room for the following extract from one Of
these discourses /:
'In saying That woman's peculiar infu-
ence springs from the affections, | mean
that these are the secret of her influence,
its central and essential life, whether she
speaks or writes, whether she teaches or
advises, whether she acts or suffers. In
this way her power,if not always acknowl.
edged, has always been perceptible. Man
has confessed il in sensual love, or domes.
tic attachment; in chivalfic admiration, Of
sentimental gallantry; in the degrading
polygamy of heathenism, or the holy unC
beautiful offices, the equal respect, the pure
and enlightened companionship, of Chris
tim marriage. This power SO vital in the
closest relations, modiies every circum'
stance, and controls the world. While she
is reflected in the most silent expressions
of home, while her presence makes its at
mosphere, and she is the very life Of oil it
order, the influence Of her nature is seel
in the amenities OF civilization, the refine
ments of speech, custom and manner, ant
oil the giaces Of society. 1t is felt ai
deeply as the domestic sanctities are fel
lit is as prominent as the mouldings o
maternal love.
We can best illustrate the true elemen
fwoman's influence by considering wha
would be the consequence il she shoull
abandon her present attitude, and take
more forward position. If, for instance
she should become absorbed in political life
in speculation, or debate, we might wonde
ut her tact, admire her eloquence, and con
fess her genius. But all her peculiar sway
over us would be lost. Homage wou,
give awoy to rivalry. The mutual office
Of dependence and ministration would b
exchanged for q selfish antagonism. Tn
fluent charities of home would become pei
ri6ed to an intellectual post.work. An
everywhere would it be felt that there q
q loss and void, a dying out of nature,
dropping why Of that mysterious. inexpres
sible love, that unseen magnetism, wbicl
refnes the elements Of social life and bind
them together, and which holds the individ
ual heart true TO the plane Of its ecliptic
when conscience IS perurbed and reasoI
has wandered from its orbit. Yesl wo
mans true power is the power Of the alfec
tions; by them does she hold more thai
queenly rule over q dominion as wide a
that of thought, and for results as incalcu
liable as human destiny.
