DELIVERED AT THE CLOSE OF THE FIFTH
QUARTER OF HIS SCHOOL, OLYMPIA, MAY
S0rH, 1855, ON THE SUBJECT OF
The Education Of Woman.
Woman, in all countries and in oil ages,
prior to the christian era, was treated as
slave by her, so called lord and master
man. 7 Perhaps no single class Of the worlds
citizens has received such peculiar benefit
in a temporal sense, from the dissepination
of the doctrines of christianity, as woman.
1t was, doubtless, an iuestimablo boon,
WHEN the curse of that slavery, which
formed en- integral element in the domestic
organization Of the most powerful nations
Of ftbe ancient world, was destroyed when
the mild and cquahsing spirit Of the gospel
shedaits benign inaueOcc alike on bond and
free, the uncourteous. restraint and social
degradation to which woman, from the Pc
snliar conditions Of herexistence was COM
pelled TO submit. received its death-bloE
from the same source.sO alirom 1si9ai
"a But the traces Of the barbarism and in
Justice Of ancieutTtimes were still TO be de-
tected IN ths0piniOns Of many who prided
themselves in belonging ton more refined
and enlightened age. .ua1 faet 9W
saIn chivalrous times, when the guiding
spiritof the noble, brave and generous Of
ehFistehdom, was the protection of the
weak and perseeuted woman and when
the influence shO exercised was, prObably,
more powerfully felt thOp at any previous
period Of her existence, twas still merely
affecting Of compassion for her weakness
that suggested the ardent championship Of
shitaifJ mot sympathy withan intelligent
being Of similar faculties and iequal cidow-
Aaents with themselves. 1t remained for
tie last few centaries to eifaee the memory
Of her past eondaioa-toiplace herinn less
anonioious position-ito consider her in the
light ofiatreaturc ofaiutellgehce, and on
Rdt ground 10 treat her with consideration
and respect. Even now7 perhaps, the old
associations ere not entirely destroyed in
some Countries, the prestige of her ancient
bondage egradation and assumed inca
pacity, is stilf lingering in the minds Of
many, and acting frejudieiaIly, in spite Of
the many'foid proofs rising hourly around
them, to compel the conviction Of the, in
justice she has suffered SO long.

q A young Irish student at the veterinary
college being asked, "If broken winded
horse were brought to him to cure, what would
he advise :" replied, 4" Sell him as soon as pos
sible." This reminds US of the reply OF a
gentleman Of this city, when examined for
admission to the bar. The first question pro.
pounded TO him was, What is the first thin4
you would DO in commencing a suit !n He
replied, Charge id big fee."
UA Lad ran in great haste into a drug store
the other morning, and half out Of breath ex-
claimed: "Mother sent me down to the shoth-
ecsry pop to get a thimblefull Of pallagolIic
BUDS as thick a. dickenth, not expected TO
live from one end to tother."
Dys The young lady who walked all over
the city in the vain pursuit Of n pint of the
milk of human kindness, has been more sue
cessful in getting a little jam out Of the Jar Of
door. She got the jam on her fingers.
