She is often treated as a menia and not as q


companion, by vicious and unprincipled men,


who are given over to hardness of heart She
has often been drawn into ambush by thestra


gem of flatterers who delight, and even take it


as sweet morsel, to destroy her happiness and
bring her to wretchedness; and she dies of grief


and fills an early grave, and leaves her unworthy
and murderous consort to exut-rather than


weep over her early fall Woe unto such men.


for many there are who exist who will not meet


with justice, until they are arraigned before the


courts of heaven, where all men are judged ac-
cording to their deeds.


/ Think not that | include all men, when speak
of those who enslave women; no, clear of it. for


there are thousands that are kind and affection


ate to their wives. But do they deserve ap-


plause for performing their duties and treating


their companions as they ought to be treated?


No, verify; but they ought and will be reward
ed by the God of justice for doing their requir-
i ed duty. What reward does man expect to


receive who leaves the harmless society of his
family night after night and day after day, to
revel in the society of drunken and degraded


men, sharing her inheritance among gamblers
and grogshop keepers. He can expect none


other than a Station among the wicked Wq-


man has been the object of the blessing of Provi-

! nearly every instance she i blessed first with
the sweet boon of religion and is used as an in

. of religion, and to guard it from the defed


hands of wicked men, who are always ready to
e extinguish it and wrap the world in heathenism
e and darkness, "for man prefers darkness rather


than light" 1t is her smiles and soothing
. words that calm the troubled and sometimes
: angry brow; and it is her true and gentle coun-
d sci that quelIs the storm of adyerSity and re-
It duces it to gentle breeze of prosperity. Oh,

Be wise, fair lady, and be not hasty in making
q your choice, for you have time enough; never

days in the noseless country, avoid a man who

ton; for if he hates the sun, he bids fair to be

the sluggard sleeps while the wise man plows."
