Let Mothers Reflect upon it.

DR.. Coale, of the Boston Medical and ,Sugi.
cal Journal, makes some observations upon the
health of American women, which seem to US
as just as they are forcible. The Doctor OBJ
serves: = The fact that an English woman lives
half "a centuary before she begins to wane, while
our females reach their prime mostly a little
over half that age, and that another lustrum
finds them on the decline, ought strongly to
arrest our attention, aud induce as to examine
whether we are right in attrbuting all This DIFF
ference TO climate, and whether we might not
find in some error of habits OF early life, at least
a partial explanation of the disparity. To be
bret then, after this preface-to state broadly
our convictions think that it is radical
error to make difference between the physical
training Of man, child and OF woman-child
before nature has made a difference in their
physical being So long as there are the same
muscles to deveope, the same organs of diges-
ton and assimilation to be stimulated, the same
apparatus Of respiration be streng'hened--so
OUn btDulu lUc uHdHS VI uulhS tIto uC tHc sdinc
in each sex. A system of physical training so
planned should, we also hold, only be varied as
new functions come into play, whtsh. in The
further development of the being, may require
special care, and then we allow that this train
ing may be modi6ed-but then only so far and
at such times as the demands of the last may be
paramount-no longer and no further. We can
not but believe that, were the physical female
under twelve years Of age looked upon in the
light in which we have placed her, and that
were The course we have sketched out pursued
in bringing her forward to the uses of woman
hood, these uses would be more properly per-
formed, and with far less wear and tear to the
general system, than that which 1t Is now the
daily pain of almost every physician to witness,
and winch, indeed, often makes her wreck
long before she has served her ultimate physi-
cal use-her crowning Office as mother. We
would go farther, and say that the same error in
her moral tanning also-and with the close con-
nection in view between the moral and physical
being, this caunot be unimportant. Her moral
training should be such, that while i made her
not less woman, it should enable her to rise
above the hundreds Of arbitrary conyentionali-
ties that now in every way fetter ner-that mould
every Thought aud control every judgment-that,
under the nanes Of propriety,' refinement
CUSTOM" fashion, exert an absolute tyranny
over her. from the cradle to the coffin. This
tyranny is broken through only in a few indi
vdual cases, and then by rebellion which, for
want of the very moral training that originally
permitted the oppression, is often so onsre in its
aspect as to expose her 10 the charge of unsex.
ing herself and to render her, if not repulsive,
