Now tell me if ] have told you

cousin Alice, "you are entirely
right in every respect l assure you,
for l know all you have said other
to be true, and / knew you would
read her directly" And as time
passed on, Anna Freeborn had
much reason TO know that this dis
position was making a complete
tool of her friend, for if there was 10
be a pleasure party or an evenings
excursion upon the river Dulsenah
would always want 10 know if there
was to be many gentlemen among
the company, and if some new one
was not to be there, she had very
little regard for having a good time,
for unless she could be making some
new conquest it was all nothing 10
her. It almost seemed sometimes
that she only lived for The batteries
of men. And it was often remark
ed by her cousins that Dulsenah
was living a mere cypher, a mere
toy with all her good qualities and
capabilities Of doing good, and of
cheering and charming her own sex
she would only choose those OF them
that were lovers Of mems batteries,
and Of all the worlds vanities and
follies. Those that loved the ball
room and card party, or theater were
her most admired companions. But
although Anna Freeborn was OF a
very cheerful and enthusiastic dispo.
sition, these things were nothing TO
her. She professedt to be a cheerful
christian, free souled from all Sec
tarian.bigotry. She called herselfa a
methodist, and as her sympatnles
flowed out for her own sex most
freely-she was always trying to
cheer and do some good unto them.
And she was original in another
respect for she had always been a.
detector Of mans love Of power over
her own sex, to make slaves OF them
and as she possessed a disposition
10 live free from all bondage,she had
always conceived an aversion to be-
ing married, from child. This in
,clination had grown stronger as she
had mingled much with society at
home and abroad, and she had seen
and known SO many Of her sex be-
ing held in bondage TO the will and
f,atteries Of men. Of all persons,
perbaps, Anna was the very ons to
inform Dulsenah of the depravity OF
the nature of men. Especially of
the prevailing dispositions Of liber-.
tines. Thse she had seen, wave the
very bane of society. f"'These are

things have their sympathies, and all

or not-they are either in favor Of
all the vanities and follies Of the
world or not, they are either in fa-
vor of all kinds of wickedness or not
they are either on the side Of all

er know a licentious man TO like an
honest female reformer? One that
would come out frankly and honest
ly, and dare TO reprove him for his
shamelessness and meanness. You
perceive at once that his vanity is
touched-that his pride and self con-
ceit cannot bear to be reproved by a
woman, and thus he who vainly
pretends 10 think that all women
are alike, now finds himself defeat
ed. And from that hour, he makes
up his mind that if she will not be
his accomplice in guilt and shame,
he will never be her friend, but al.
ways prelends to the name, and this
man only wants woman for a tool,
he feels SO exceedingly angry and
debased in his eyes, to think that
there are some women that are en-

Now, dear Dulsenah, just look at
the picture of RIGHTEOUSNESS when
ever you please and it is the same
old monster, full of all manner OF
lies and deceit, of hatred and re-
venge. Only look at a man who is
entirely governed by his passions,
see what wretch he makes of HIM
self. See, him foam out his own
shame, even like the raging pillows.
He cannot bear to see two friends
innocently happy. No, it is too
much for him. See him pretending
