powerful, at the same time an almost
imperceptible influence over man. "The
Lords Of creation, men we call, they
think they rule the world, but they are
much mistaken after all, for they, I'M
der woman's control, &c This influence
commences in the cradle, and ends but in
the grave.
On the domestic education depends the
fate OF individuals communities, and ma
tions. The higher the domestic education
and the intellectual, Of woman, the greater
will be her influence, not only at home
but in general society
How many great men have ncknow-
ledged their success in life, due to their
mothers. Had these mothers zone hand
i'll hand with men through the sterner
walks Of life, where would have been the
time, for the almost constant care her off
spring required Would after generations
have encircled their brows with that halo
OF undying beauty which will never fade?
In heather countries it is well known
that men look upon woman as something
little better than Il dog, a little dearer
than horse" The higher the standard
Of education in community the greater
the respect for females, and the greater
her influence. Among the Auglo Saxons
are found the most perfect types of man
and womanhood, Upon this race it would

trouble and sickness befall him. it Is then
her true womanhood is called forth. Then
man most feels the need of her gentle
ministration,and how is it possible for her
to follow masculine enployments. or those
that have been deemed such. and meet
those minlstratlons or wants She cannot

crossing, and never so rapidly a. at the
present time. Onward and upward is
the motto. Our government is vet in it,
