1t was prettily said by some author, that he
should as soon expect bullet from rosebud as
an oath from the mouth Of woman. An un-
truth from the same source, strikes us as not less
shocking.
The whole system of fashionable female
education is SO thoroughly at war with nature
and truth, that we are less surprised at the want
OF integrity among those who are educated at
fashionable boarding school, than we should be
to find one who had escaped the communicating
influence of such teaching. True education
does not consist wholly in intellectual advance
ment. The heart needs gnide and directing
power as well as the head and the great defect
in the system of education to which we have
alluded is, that the former is for the most part
wholly neglected. The fashionable graces of
life are all cultivated with the utmost care.

and foul, possess it merely.
