American Women as Conversation
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin has
these remarks in a recent number:
Napoleon the First is said to have
made the remark that France needed
mothers. A friend Of ours after travelling
in Europe gave US as the result of his
observations, that no man who had not
travelled had seen a woman. We asked
one Of the most intelligent ladies of our
acquaintance, who has visited Europe
more than once, and who, indeed, resided
there for some time, whether the remark
of our friend were true, and she replied
in the affirmative. The same persons
thought that the American women are
prettier AMI naturally more attractive
than those abroad. 5,a 3 trs'5-. s.s 4.
The difficulty is two-fold. The first
belongs to young ladies, and the second
TO matrons Both are symptoms of the
same disease. The young are frivolous,
and the mature are commonplace. With
all the readers enthusiasm and chiyaIry
for women, let us ask him how many
ladies can converse intelligently and
interestingly in comparison with the men
Of his acquaintance If he will make an
honest investigation he will be surprised
The bearing of these remarks is espe
cially upon the tendency in our young
men to rowdyism and blackguardism. a
powerful safeguard is in female society
and great difficulty is that it is intel
lectually so very deficient. Ayoung mar
ofany force Of character, and there arc
many such, tires ofgossip, the weather
the last fashion and the last concert
How many young women go beyond these
topics2 He tires, too, Of mere household
details and the outside ofreligious matters
Of which the more mature talk, and seek
something more exciting
The penny press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1859-1860, 1860-02-08

If we would save the manners and
morals of the country, our women must
have higher tone. They are pretty,
graceful, virtuous, industrious, but they
do not converse. They do not understand
literature and art they are not able TO 60
with men into the reason of things their
minds do not act, as they should, as the
soft reflection in the water Of earth and
sky. Home ought to be most attractive;
but in order that it may be so, women
must cultivate intelligence. Men are
made intelligent in America by politics,
religion, business and generally by the
grand scale on which things must be
done. The collisions of the time make
them emphatically men. They are grad
ually growing away from their wives,
daughters and cousins, and the effect is
most deleterious. 1t is seen especially in
young men of all classes.
So far was this carried in Greece, that
the few women--not of the best char
aoter-who cultivated their minds to an
extraordinary degree, while the mass
were content with triAes, have sent their
names down through history as the COM
panions of the great men who illustrated
that golden age. Like the Greek women,
ours are by no means wanting in talent.
They are characteristically very quick.
But there is some wrong kind Of public
sentiment among them which greatly
needs correction.
The reaction is seen-for there must
necessarily be reaction from SO unnat-
ural a condition-in female preaching
and lecturing, in the overstepping Of the
modesty and natural sphere Of woman.
1t is a thousand pities. But it is inevita.
Bile. The stream must have its way. If
we have no intelligent drawing-rooms, we
will have women on rostrums, just as
Aspasias were the reaction from the
monotony of female Greek life.

SEVERE UPON HER OWN SEx.-Lola
Montez ironically remarks to young
gentlemen: "You ought to know that
there are four things which always more
or less interest a lady-a parrot, pea
cock, q monkey, and man; and the
nearer you can come in uniting these
about equally in your character the
more you will be loved. This is cheap
aud excellent recipe for making a dandy,
creature which is always an object of
admiration to the ladies'"
