EDUCATION OF WOMEN.

For if it be true, as a careful

glish authors three-fOurths have
been college bred men, the denial to
women, until very recent years, OF
that thorough education which has
proved so essential to the develop
ment ofmascnline genius would suf-
ficiently explain why her supreme
excellence in literary work has been
limited TO imaginative creations,
based upon a nice observation of so.
cial life. Even poetry demands a
technical knowledge OF metrical
structure which only advanced clas-
steal instruction now cOnfers. And
in science, philosophy and broad
historical investigation, some pre-
vious rigid discipline of the mental
faculties is an indisputable condi-
tion of marked success. When, by
abundant scholarships, college doors
shall be opened to the poor girl as
well as the rich, so that the best
minds among women may possibly
receive q systematic and liberal
training, there will doubtless be
found in the mass Of wOman'S intel
lectual work a few such signal
achievements as the great number
of educated men nov supply. And
even to that small proportion among
eminent writer's who derived no aid
from the highest schools there were
vOuchsafed an opportunity and
stimulus that could never, in earlier
centuries than our own, belong to
woman'S life.

THE BEAUTY OF SIMPLICITY

Next to suitability, / say, let
there be simplicity. John Newton,
giving advice to lady, said: mad
am, so dress and so conduct your
self that persons who have been in
company shall not recOllect what
YOU had on" That counsel, il fol
lowed. would lead to quite differ
emit style of dress from that which is
far too prevalent now. Simplicity
seems banished, and we are fOrcibly
reminded of the description given
bv Isaiah. of the attire OF women IN
Jerusalem in his days. The dc
scription is given in the third chap
ter of his prophecies. There is a
pretty fable of the angel and the
rosebud which conveys the very les
son that am seeking TO enforce. 1t
is said that "the angel who takes
care of the flowers and sprinkles
upon them with dew in the still
night, slumbered on a spring day in
the shade of roSebush. When he
awoke, he said, Most beautiful Of
my children, ! thank thee for thy
refreshing odor and cooling shade.
Could you now ask any favor, how
willingly would l grant it D.! 'Adorn
me, then, with a new charm, said
the spirit of the rosebud in a be-
seeching tone So the angel adorn-
ed the loveliest of flowers with sim
pie moss. Sweetly it stood there IN
the modest attire, the mess rose, the
most beautiful of its kind. So the
costliest ornaments are often the
simplest;" and it will be generally
found that simplicity characteristics
the highest refinement. Hence, new
er allow fashion to triumph over
your common sense or your good
taste. Do not comply with the
reigning modes at the expense OF
simplicity and suitability.
