A Few words to Parents.

You have provided for the benefit of vonr
chlldrens education, facilities unsurpassed In
the world. 4sr ef'1,1--r N0N ~
You have the opportunity of giving them an
education that will be worth more to them than
gold and silver .
1t is the duty of the parent to give the child
as good an education as can possibly be attained
with their means ,'.-.f -.
How foolish, how short-sighted then is the
spirit shown by some parents in refusing to nro1
vide their children with the needful books. at
the expense OF few dollars, that they often ex-.
pend tor that which is worse than useless. The
following case came under our observation a
short time since: ts@9
Two children, brother and sister, both intelH-
gent, rather above the average, willing and
anxious to learn, were forced to leave the class
OF English grammar, because their parents re-
fused to provide them with the proper text
book, at an expense of one dollar and twenty .
five cents for both. lt
Will peopleever the.learn value ofeducatiopal
privileges?
Be assured that if your children are denied an
education, theirs will be a life of sorrow and
toll ; a lifelong struggle for bare existence a
life without hope or enjoyment : .
Educated labor will always take the lead in
the world. 1t will always command the hest
positions and the ignorant plodder will be oblig-
ed to take what is left. Fearful will be the ac.
count ct the parent who denies his child the
means OF acquiring knowledge
You cannot place too high value upon the
educatlona! facilities at your command Do not
think that because they cost little they are worth
little.
You may leave your children wealth. but this
may take wings and fly away; learning will
abide with them forever. Remember ''knowl-
edge is power" s7.--. 90.

From ''St. Elmo by Augusta J. Evans.
A Woman's View of Woman.

| think, sir, that the noble and true women
OF this continent earnestly believe that the day
which invests them with the elective franchise
would be the blackest in the annals of human
lty, would ring the death-knell of modern civ
iization of national prosperity, social morality,
and domestic happiness; and would cousign
the race to night of degradation and horror
infinitely more appalling than return to
primeval barbarism. Then every exciting po-
lltical canvass would witness the revolving
deeds of the Furies who assisted In storming
the Tuieries, and repetitions OF scenes enacted
during the French Revolution, which mourn
fully attest how terrible indeed are female ma
lures when once perverted. God, the Maker,
tenderly anchored womanhood in the peaceful,
blessed haven of home and if man is ever in
sane enough to mar the Divine economy, by
setting women afoat on the turbulent, roaring
sea of politics, they will speedily become pitia-
BILE wrecks. Sooner than such an inversion Of
social order, would welcome even Turkish
bondage; for surely utter ignorance is Infinite
ly preferable to erudte unwomanliness
+ ~ Neither do | claim nor admit the equal
ity Of the sexes, whom God created with dis
tinctive intellectual characteristics, which can
never be merged or destroyed without outra-
glng the DEGREES of nature and sapping the
foundations of all domestic harmony
Erudition and effrontery have no inherent
connection, and a woman has an unquestiona-
BILE right to improve her mind ad injfnituns,
provided she does not barter womanly delicacy
and refinement for mere knowledge; and in
her anxiety to parade what she has cleaned,
forget.the decorum and modesty without which
she is monstrous and repulsive. e-o~r4 fs.
Does it not appear reasonable that truly
refined woman, whose heart is properly gov
erned should increase her usefulness to her
family and her race by increasing her know
edge? A female pedant who is coarse and
boisterous, or ambitious of going to Congress-
or making stump-speeches, would be quite as
unwomanly and unlovely in character if she
were utterly illiferate. am afraid it is not
their superior learning or ability which aflicts
the nineteenth ceLtury with those unfortunate
abnormal developments familiarly known as
'strong-minded women; bat that it is the
of their energies, the one-sided
nature of their education. g..
A woman who cannot be contented and hap
py in the bosom of her home, busted with or
dinary womanly work, but fancies it is her mis-
sion to practise law or medicine, or 60 out lee
turing. would be troublesome, dsagreeable
under all circumstances and would
probably stir up quite as much mischief while
using ungrammatical language as if she were a
perfect philologist
