A FEW WORDS TO A YOUNG WOMAN.
LECTURE H....BY HON. HORACE MANN.
The second and last Lecture to Women,
by the Hon. Representative from Massachusetts, was
delivered on Friday night at the Tabernacle before an
immense audience, though hardly so large as on the
occasion of the first lecture on the topic. We
give the chief points in the discourse Of the Hon
gentleman.
He said that he had endeavored to establish the
fact that God had created the two sexes on the prin
cipe of the division of labor there Is woman's
sphere, or mans sphere, but each had hemisphere
and it took both to complete the circle He had
also shown that woman had never been treated as
she should have been that she ought to have hal
an education equal to the best that man had guar.
anteed to himself As mortals are created male
and female, so labors and pursuits partake Of cha
Tacter quite similar lie would point out some OF
the callngs in which woman was peculiarly fitted
TO excel. First, in the arts OF design. Is Il not
ridiculous that man should originate the designs
which decorate a woman's dress, or boudoir, or par
terrel Let woman have the whole control OF orna-
mental cesgn, and we shall soon a vast I'M
provement IN arts. He said that copying tpenman'

peculiarly adapted 10 femaes. But one calling ne

upon the importance of the arder and It's eectupon

proceeded to examine, in an amusing manner, the
superintendence OF the wardrobe. But her highest
duty is the education OF children this is calling

can ever aspire. Here woman has the very exist

Upon this, his fayOre topic, Mr. lam dwelt at con-
siderable length, and with most convincing argument
and illustration Let woman then be educated to the
highest point not only for her own sake but for the
FAKE OF the world, of humanity But there are pur-
