Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more women than toll
and sorrow. Obedience to fashion is
o greater transgression of the laws of
woman's nature, greater injury to her
physical and mental constitution than
the hardships of poverty and neglect.
The slave women at their task will live
and grow old, and see two or three gen.
erations of their mistresses pass away.
The washerwoman, with scarce ray
of hope to cheer her in her tolls, will
live to see fashionable sisters die all
around her. The kitchen. maid is hear
ty and strong, when her lady has got
to be nursed like sick baby. 1t
is sad truth that fashion. pampered
women. are almost useless for all the
good ends Of human life. They have
but little force of character; they have
still less power of moral will, and quite
as little physical energy.s They live
for no purpose in life; they accomplish
no worthy ends. They are. only dull
forms in the hands of milliners and
servants, to be dressed to order. They
dress nobody; they instruct nobody :
bless nobody and save nobody. They
write no books, they set no rich exam
Piles of virtue and womanly life. Il
they rear children servants and nurses
do ali, save to conceive and give them
birth. And when reared what are
they? What do they ever amount to-
but weaker scions of the old stock
Who ever heard of q fashionable
woman's child exhibiting any virtue
aud power of mind for which it be-
came e'ninent2 Read the biographies
of great men and women. Not one Of
them had fashionable mother. They
nesrly all spring from strong minded
women who had as little to do with
fashion as with changing clouds.
