o great mistake, in female education, to keep
a young lady time and attention devoted to
only the fashionable literature of the day. If
you would qualify her for conversation, you
must give her something to talk about--give
her education with this actual world and its
transpiring events, Urge her to read the
newspapers, and become familiar with the
present character and Improvement Of our
race. History is of some Importance but
the past world is dead, and we have nothing
to do with it Our thoughts and our concerns
shou be for the present world. to know
what it is, and improve the condition of it
Let her have an Intelligent opinion, and be
able to sustain an intelligent conversation
concerning the mental, moral political and
religious Improvement of our times. Let the
silded ANIMALS andpoems on the comfortable
be kept part OF the time covered with week
