Influence of Women. .

The cultivation of the sentiments and
of the social virtues, is solely depe udent
upon women. AS the mother of man, she
is then the source of all human power and
dignity. If she is weak, one who will yet
be strong is nurtured in her lap. II she is
prescribed to the possession of noble SEN
timents, and a sphere of household action
she can yet transfuse her sentiments into
one who will hear them abroad to the
world. Whist is the man of action but the
delegate of thoughtful woman ? Where is
barbarity most inveterate and debasing but
where woman is most debased One
trembles to contemplate the situation into
which society has been wrested through
the illegitimate assumption of man, as the
representative of brute force. He has de-
nuded woman of her responsibility as an
agent of progress, and has destroyed her
moral grandeur, with her liberty and equal
ity. Sent TO be companion and guide,
she has been made nonentitY. Constitut-
ed with mind equal to mans in every
respect, perhaps, superior in the gentler at
tributes, she has hitherto been treated as
if the doctrine of tile Musselman were
true. Young men seldom attempt to en-
gage in serious and instructive conversa-
ton in promiscuous assemblies 4; they seem
to have studied insane twaddle and frivo-
ous, disgusting repartee, that they might
insult the intellect and Perpetuate the sub
iugalion of women.

.Tis Not the Use But the Abuse.

How often do we hear these words, and
yet how seldom do we thoughtfully weigh
them. The abuse may be the objectiona-
BILE point, but that the use too often leads
to the abuse, is frightfully apparent. We
see among the victims of the intoxicating
Legislators, our merchants. We see talent
prostrated, and our young men nipped in
the prime Of life, by this worse than cpl
demic. We see fresides desolated, the
grave. broken hearted we see the child
that should love, tremble at their fathers
approach. Woe, distress, poverty, public
and domestic brawls, larceny, murder, all
centre in one small word, "rum." Warn
your schoolmate of the danger of this once
in-a-while system , tell your brother work
man that he is robbing his family, and
their friendship is lost. ''Tis not the use, -
says the mother, as she sees her son drink;
but s'the abuse" adds the father. Could
we but trace back many a drunkard's ca
reer, we find that the germs of dissipation
were planted at the freside. Thousands
who would this day extenuate by quoting
the above. are surely, yet impereeptibly
verging to that maelstrom which has en-
quilted myriads. Could truth but publish
the cause of death. or trace the epitaph
upon our tombstones, what living moralists
would they prove.
