a greater injury to her physical and mental
constitution than the hardships of poverty
and neglect. The slave woman at her tasks
will live and grow old, and see two or three
generations Of her mistresses fade and pass
away. The washerwomah, with scarce
ray of hope to cheer her in her tolls, will
live to see her fashionable sisters all die
around her. The kitchen maid is hearty
and strong, when her lady has to be nursed
like a sick baby.
It is a sad truth that fashion-pampered
women are almost worthless 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. They live for no great
purpose in life-they accomplish no wor-
thy ends. They are only doll-forms in The
hands of milliners and servants, to be dress
ed and fed to order. They dress nobody;
they feed nobody; they instruct nobody;
they bless nobody, and save nobody. They
write no books; they set no good examples
of virtue and woman life. If they have
children, they are given to servants and
nurses to rear And when reared, what
are they? What do they ever amount to,
but weaker scions of the old stock2 Who
ever heard of fashionable woman's child
exhibiting any virtue and power of mind
for which it Became eminent?
Read the biographies of our great and
good men and women. Not one Of them
had fashiouable mother, They nearly all
sprung from stror g-minded women, who
had about as little TO do with fashion as with
charming the clouds.
