Mans Duty to Woman.

Let him learn to be grateful to woman
for this undoubted achievement Of her sex,
that it is she-she far more than he, and
she too often in despite Of him-who has
kept Christendom from lapsing back into
barbarism, kept mercy and truth from be-
ing utterly overborne by those two greedy
monsters,-money and war. Let him be
grateful for this, that almost every great
soul that has led forward or lifted up the
race, has been furnished for each nobel
deed, and inspired with each patriotic and
holy aspiration, by the retiring fortitude of
some Spartan, or more than spartan-some
Christian mother. Moses. the deliver of
nis people, drawn out of the Nile by the
Kings daughter, some one has hinted, is
only symbol Of the way that woman's
better instincts always outwit the tyranni-
cal diplomacy Of man. Let him cheer
fully remember, that, though the sinewy
sex achieves enterprises on public thea
tres, it is the nerve and sensibility of the
other, that arms the mind and inflames the
soul in secret. aA man discovered Amer
ica, but woman EQUIPPED the voyage. y
So everywhere man executes the per-
formance, but woman trains the man. Ev-
cry effectual person, leaving his mark on
the world, is but another Columbus, for
whose furnishing some Isabella, in the
form Of his mother, lays down her jewell
r., her vanities, her comfort.
Above all, let no men practice on wo-
man the perpetual and shameful falsehood
Of pretending admiration and acting con-
tempt. Let them not exhaust their kind
ness in adoring her person, and ask in re-
turn the humiliation Of her soul. Let them
not assent to her every opinion, as if she
were not strong enough to maintain it
against opposition NOR yet manufacture
opinion for her, and force it on her lips by
dictation. Let them not cruelty her emo
tons, nor ridicule her fiailty, nor crush
her individuality, nor insult her dePen-
dsnce, nor play off mean jests upon her
honor in consivial companies, nor handy
unclean doubts Of her, IS wretched SUBJ
stitute for wit; nor whisper vulgar susPi-
cioas Of her purity, which, rs compared
with their own, is like the imaculate
whi,sness of angels. Let them remem-
ber that, for ghastly spectacle Of her blast
ed chastity, they are answerable. Let
them multiply her social advantages, en-
hance her dignity, minister to her intelli-
gence, and by manly gentleness, be the
champions Of her genius, the friends Of hel
fortunes, and the equals, if they can, Of hel
heart.-Rcu. +. D. Huntingtos.
