Young Women.

AN eminent writer says that very few
young ladies can be said TO have any
conversation. Experience, knowledge
Of society, requirements gradually and
impercep,ibly accumulated, are requisite
before person can be- properly said to
converse. The female character, is from
its attributes, peculiarly under tho con.
troll Of circumstances, and the influence
Of other and stronger natures. There
cannot be a more momentous condition
than that Of a young woman under TWEEN.
,y. A fool may win her admiration, and
her character becomes Tor time, frivo.
lous. Many a noble spirit in woman
has been checked by an ill'placed first
affection but if she be fortunate enough
to place an early dependence upon a
worthy object, the tenor o. her life is de
termined. It's observable that in youth
women cannot understand friendship to-
ward men. Girls never stop at that point
There is always tinge OF love in thei
sentiments towards intimate associates o
tho other sex. Hence the dangerous as
tendency acquired by their male ins,ruc
tors. and by the less attractive and less
meritorious individuals,over women whit
have been even delica,ely nurtured.
