a terrible Offset 70 all her attrac-
tiveness. We are not surprised When
we fad men and women naturally vul.
gar going INTO transgrcssion. We cx-
pect that people who live in the ditch
s!a.. have the manners Of the ditch;
but hos shocking when We find sin APP
pended " superior education and &c
the refncmcnts Of social life. The &C.
comp!ishmcnts Of Mary Queen OF Scots
make her patronage OF Darn!ey, the
prohi2ate, the more appalling. The
genius oi Catherine II. Of Russia only
sets forth in more powerful contrast
her indispensable ambition. The
translations from the Greek and the
Latin by Elizabeth, and her wonderful
qualifications for a queen, make the
more disgusting her capriciousness Of
affection and her holiness Of temper.
The greatness Of Byron's mind makes
the more alarming ByrOn's scnsuality.
My subject also impresscs me with
the regal influence OF woman. When
see Eve with this powerful influence
over Adam and OYER the generations
that have followed, it suggests 70 me
the great power all women have for
good or evil. have no sympathy.
nor have you, with the hollow
batteries hhowered upon woman
from the platform and the
stage. They mean nothing; they
are accepted as nothing. Woman's no
biIity consists in the exercise of
Christian influence; and when ! see
her husband and upon the whole hui
man race ! make up my mind that the
frail arm Of woman can strike a blow
which will resound through all eterni-
ty dorm among the dungeons or up
among the thrones.
OF course, ! am not speaking of rep
resent ative women>@-of Eve, who ruined
the race by one fruitApicking; of Jaek,-
who drove Il spikc>thYough the head Of
Siscra the warrior; of Esther, who over
came royalty; Of Abigail, who stopped
IL host by her own beautiful proves;
Of Mary, who nursed the worlds Saw
iour;. of Grandmother Lois, immor.
talized in her grandson Timothy; Of
Charlotte Corday, who drove the dagger
through the heart OF the assassin of her
lover, or OF Marie Antoinctte, who, by
one look from the balcony Of her castle,
quoted mob, her own scaffold the
throne OF forgiveness and womanly
courage. speak not of these extra.
ordinary persons, but of those who,
unambitious for political power, as
wives and mothers and sisters and
daughters, attend TO the thousand sweet
Offices OF home.
When ut last we come TO calculate
the forces that decided the destiny of
nations IL will be be found that the
Inightiest and grandest influence came
from home, where the wife cheered up
dependency and fatigue and sorrow
by her own sympathy, and the mother
trained her child for Heaven, starting
the little feet on the path to the Celestial
City; and the sisters by their gentle
ness refined the manners of the broth
CIR; and the daughters were diligent in
