The season has again come when ice

Education OF Woman,

Our people at large take too little
thought about the infinite importance of
education, especially right one, for their
children; and this is more eminently true
ii regard to their precious daughters. the
women of a soon coming age! Neglect
woman--and ruin men!
What use in educating woman? What
use?--Let barbarism in Madagascar, or
profigacy in Utah, or all manner of pollu-
lion in the dark realms of heathendom, be
left to ask; what all civilization, and all
Christian philosophy answers with rational
and conscientious triumph. Womanis the
criterion of society. To improve and ele-
vate the sex. is to advance and meliorate the
species. What great and good man can
you ordinarily show us, who had not q
great and good mother? Is the influence
of mother, that IS mother, less poten-
tial when excellent, because bores and fops
and fashionable simpletons, never think of
it? Because infidels, who believe in Four
ierism and communism, in polygamy and
seraglios, in Turkish and Circassian slave
marts, and Oriental sensualism, utterly
forget or discredit it?
Should we not educate the greatest edu-
Gators in the world? A mother first influ-
ences mana son or a daughter, born
into the world, For tire infantie and for
native years of life, she develops; nurtures,
forms, impresses, dlsciplines and blesses-
or curses, poor human stranger. What
ifevery mother wa. Eunice, Lois, a Han
nah, an Elizabeth. or, had almost said, a
Mary; what, in the constitution of God,
might we expect, with his own added bless
ing, on their duties and services and pieties
in educating our successive generations of
mankind7-Rev. DR.. Coz.
