The Female Mind.

The influence ofthe female mind
over the stronger mind of man, il
greater, perhaps than they are vii
ling to acknowledge. Interpretations
are various, and some men struggle
learlully TO disengage themselves
frosh it. But thisEwe believe, that
more or less, all men have felt its
power; and those, perhaps, have ex-
periehced It to the greatest extent
who would have it supposed they de-
>spised it most. A woman loses
many Of her charms, and conse-
quehtly, much Of her power in the
opinion2of many, when she ranges
herself on the side Of that which ia
~wro ing, while it il impossible to cal
culate the influence Of a virtuous wo-
man, when that influence is excrcis-
ed with tenderness ana modcsty.
The ruin produced by 4 bad woman
may be sudden anHyiolcnt and com
paAd TO- the bursting Of a.yolcano,
or the overflowings Of the ocean; but
tile influences of a virtuous woman
are like the gentle dew and morning
showers, which descend silently and
softly, and are unknown only bylheir
effects in the smiling aspect Of the
valleys and the weights of the au,
tutnnal branches.

ADDRESS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - have been
:. requested to deliver an address upon the
subject of education, but knowing my
utter inability to do Justice TO that subject,
l cannot make the attempt, but will offer
n few practical remarks to the scholors
and to their, parents. -tI4 ....ts+ e.
. Scholars, you, or most of you, are
blest with kind parents, (when | say most
Of You, do not understand me to say that
any of your parents are unkind, for l
cannot think SD. You must leave these
parents-this happy home OF your child
hood-to mingle with the world. You
will find that fife is not what you now
think, but that il is realtS-a fact; and
YOU are as sailors. There are but two
ports, one Of which you should be exer.
ling every nerve to gain, and the other
as zealousfy to avoid, Your banks are
now ION the sea of lileI;. but, happily for
YOU. you are not at the helna-your parents
are there and guiding your course. The
storm of life will soon bear them away,
and YOU must take the wheel in your own
hands aud steerto the port ofyour ehocie.
Begin the voyage properly, for much de-
i. ponds ION the commencement--you can
make life a delightful or q miserable yoy-
age. j. Fl.
Listen to the dictates Of your conscience
at all times; If you do not, she will cease
Is speak cease to raise her warning
: voice, in the hour ofetemptation, and you
sink to rise no more, ere you reach the
