oeAmed upon 1t, giving Il new hope when
thia world should have passed away for
ever Such 10 the power and influence Of
true, pure and good woman over man. A.
irresistibly az the moon sways the ocean
TIDE, bidding It ebb and flow, 20 can the
iteut o. woman's amile compel the current
Of mans heart and mans affections to
flow on. until they cover the barren rocks
Of eelfishncss, the desert spots Of vice.
making the glad soil rejoice and blossom.
And 40 the good and true woman works
miracles upon man. 20 has she without
soul and Christianity, her Influence. The
female upon whose cheek the sweet blush
q modesty never comes: whose brow.
though 1t may be beautiful. yet wears the
frown OF malice and discomfort; whose
cherry lips are defilcd with words OF RI
Daidry, whose heart Is crowded with
tiercest passions. who WOES but to enslaye
who wins but to destroy. Who can esti-
mate the terrible Influence for evil which
such nature will exert upon all whom
fate may cast near her. Tue cloud OF a
woman's frown--one who has a beautiful
form and lovely face and yet a heart With
out Christianity--can drive back from man
all the noblcr principles until his heart and
directions will be as sterile as the rocks OF
Petra, as arid as the Sahara sands oh,
woman, think OF the mighty power in thy
hands! Stop the frivolous tempter In its
youth and be what was intended--God's
best gift to man. My male readers may
deny that | write, but | beg Of them not.
II Is no shame that we are the subjects OF
30 gentle scepter. AS we'll might the
cold earth deny that the genial influences
OF the springtide or the blessings OF the
rain or Of the dew compelled 1t to bring
forth the blooming flower or the useful
plant. but neither spring nor rain nor
dew ever brought a greater blessing upon
earth than the sweet influences of mans
fair companion has bestowed upon his
sterner mould. 1t is mans best earthly
guide, his purest earthly counselor. and
| may 1t be the mirror to reflect his own
moral features. softened and made more
beautiful By the medium through which
they are beheld and my advice is TO be-
ware, as you value your honor. your hap
piness, your quiet upon earth, your repose
in your grave, your safety In the far off
world-beware That you do nothing to
| sully the purity Of this moral fountain,
| else shall you drink in life and in death
| from the poisonous and polluted stream
which your own vile and reckless act has
caused to gush forth, Let 1t be man s
earnest desire, his anxious care, SO to
watch over protect and preserve this hal
| lowed gift that 1t may be @hat II was in
| tended to be--a blessing. Let It not be
| turned by his desires, inattention and
| selfishness or viciousness into curse
| which, like the tabled bird brought forth
| by your own act, shall pursue you through
| life with its hoarse threatenings and its
| wild upbraidings and shall come to nestle
| In your bosom Just when that heart Is &c
| give back TO Its Maker the life that beats
within it. II. l.. Allen.
