AGhapter on Females.
By wN J. BLACK.

We like to look upon healthy woman
she is prodigy in the nineteenth cen.
tnry., Wherever you go you see scores
and hundreds Of spleenly, sickly, feeble
girls, who can hardly muster courage to
make their beds, wash their faces, or drive
an lntruding cow from the yard. Tell
them about early rising, fresh air, and
healthy exercise, and they heavc sigh as
long rs the moral law, and are ready to
faint away. You expect them 10 get up
before day, TO work in the kitchen, to
breathe the fresh air of morning! Pre-
posterous and absurd! They have never
seen the sun rise, and would hardly know
but the sun continues to shine forever, if
it were not for the almanacs and their
grand-mothers. No wonder that evcrv
year sweeps % the grave so many Young
women who have been sickly and etfemi,
nate, ever since they were born into the
world and death will continue to select
them as his victims till they learn their
duty, and pursue that course which insures
health, strength and long life. Our great
grand parents lived to great age, and
never thought of lying down to die till
they had, at least, reached the meridian
OF ilte. They were stout, strong, happy.
and hearty. Why! They rose early.
worked like beavers. and never spent the
midnight hours in dancing. Instead of
being frightened at mouse at their feet.
beetle on their neck, a f1y's foot on their
arms, in the absence of their fathers and
husbands, they would load their guns, and
shoot bears and catamounts, and keep at
bay party of savages. How have their
daughters degeneratedl What female is
there nowadays who wouldn't run from
a gun, even if it had no lock. The ladies
OF olden times out lived their husbands
years and years. How is it now! NYld.
ows are few and far between. 1t was no
singular thing for our grand-motlers to
have three or four husbands in the course
OF their lives. Now it is The reverse. Men
have about as many wives, diseases of ate
have been so fatal among the fe male sex.
% yoa know the causel 1t is found in
lls,less idieness, inactivity, late hours, thin
shoes, muslin dresses, horror of fresh
morning airmand in that detestaLle stuff
stitched in pink aud yellow covers, which
is flooding our country. If they will do
nothing else, young ladies will sit and read
from morning till night that sickly, sen,i
mental, impure, and we will say licentious
trash that is thrown in such abundance
from the press. This shrivels the mind.
warps the affections, chills the better feel
ings, and makes the life wretched beyond
description. Let females look into this
subject and act Ike reasonable beings.
and we should see quite different state
OF things. We SHOULD hear Of on faintino
away, no sick constitutions, no affection Of
lungs, no elopcments, and no suicides.-

In protane history, we have an. account

IN the same manner. -
With the period of Abraham, a period
when history seems first to be established
on more Ger ain grounds, we find mention
OF duration Of life which can be still at
