UNEDUCATED WOMEN There is no sight
so truly ptiabIe as that afforded by rising
family Of children under the guardianship
of an ignorant mother. We would be
understood by the use of the term ignorant
as wishing to convey the picture of a mother
whose maiden days were devoted to the ac-
quiremeut of fashionable accomplishments,
to the exclusion of solid mental culture and
requirements. The woman who reigns queen
of the ballroom is very seldom found capa.
bic of being the governness of her own chill
dren; and the time spent at soiree and route
will be bitterly regretted when age brings
experience and consequent remorse for the
evil she has inflicted, and left incapacity to
discharge properly the interesting and i'm
portant duties of her station, when it was
her natural duty to be at once an instructor
and an example The maiden who casts
aside her book for the cotilion, will never
win the love and esteem of sensible man !;
and should she select partner for life
among her partners in the dance, she will
find, when it is too late, that her choice has
been unfortunate as the place where she first
attracted his notice was injudicious. We
look with pain upon that wife who enters
upon her second era with fashionable ideas
Of society. Her first era has been devoted
to the attainment of certain rules and sys,
TENS pardonable in the girl, certainly cen
surabie in the wife, and criminal in the
mother

"TO THE BEAUTIFUL OWNER"
When the soul is overshadow d. the wing Of despair,
As the death -damps sleep over HOPES bier;
We look towards her heavn, should a ray linger
there,
IT'S enough to gladden-to cheer
This sweet beaming orb has arisen at last,
The starlight now wakes into day;
And shades from the heart are vanishing fast,
As night from its sky fades away.
The "swcet star of Friendship" in her heav'n
still set
As the pole star, it never may move;
'Ts brightest, It's purest, It's truest, and yet,
'Tis dimm'd by the warm star of Love-
