They are satisfied with marriage; con-
sidcrng it the enforcement of love, the
coronation Of woman, the gentle solace
and moral safeguard of man. They
cherish the family; convinced that it is
the sole nurture Of true manhood and
womanhood, the school Of the hero and
the inspiration of the patriot, the pillar
Of society and the foundation of the State.
Their women arc womanly; having no
pruricnt longing for male combinations,
no mad ambition to be more than women,
well content to be only ladies. They
are indisposed to repudiate Christianity,
inasmuch as no higher morality has yet
been taught than was preached from the
Mount and attested on the Cross At
least, they have no religious rcformers
among them, always bullying Heaven and
mstructing the Almighty what he should
do. They are willing that the Millcnnial
Iion shall come, in Gods own time, all
silently and softly, like the dew of the
/ night or the breath of the morning.
But this love Of social repose, this
hatred of domestic agitation, is precisely
what is most calculated to make the
