Concerning Fashionable Women.

Bishop Coke, of Western New York ha.
been moved to issue pastoral letter upon
the folly and extravaganza of women. We
do not suppose, Of course, that it applies to
the women of this region, but they may like
to read what is said about their sisters in
other states. The Bishop says -
When | see the tawdry fashions, the costly
yulgarity and the wicked extravaganza of the
times, feel sure that thousands Of American
women are strangers to the first laws of re-
inement, simplicity in manners and attire.
When | see that thousands of American
women read the most shameful romances, and
the most degrading newspapers, frequent the
yilest dramatic entertainments, aud Join in
dances too shocking too be named among
Christians, feel that Christian matrons are
becoming too few, and that civilized heathen-
ism is returning to the fields we have wrestcd
from the Indians.
When ! read, daily, Of the most ngodly
divorces, and Of crimes against social purity
and against human life itself, which are too
gross to be mentioned more particularly,
feel that too many of our country are
without God in the world, and that radical
reforms are necessary in the system of edu-
cation ON which the young women of Ameri-
ca are dependent for their training.
When | see thousands of households in
which young girls are reared for a life Of
pleasure, without reference to duty, | cannot
wonder at these results, nor at the misery in
which they involve families and communities.
Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind!
As Christian Bishop therefore, make
my appeal to YOU Christian women, and |
ask you to begin the reformation by faithful
ly bearing your testimony against all that
tends to the degradation of your sex; and
the more so when each crime Is not only
winked at but receives countenance in cir
cles which ought to be exemplary.
