Female IMiicalinu.
Tho education of woman is a theme fruit
ful of thought. It has awakened the inter
est of many gifted minds. Wc have vol
umes upon this interesting subject. And
yet it shouldbe constantly held up before tho
public mind, and urged upon consideration,
in order that woman may understand anil bo
prepared fur her true position.
Alladmitthatshcshotilil bo well educated;
but to the question what constitutes a good
education, various and conllicting answers
havo been given.
The lady who can sing well, play well,
daiieo well, has, in tho estimation of a cer
tain class, "already attained," and reached
tho acme of fcmalo accomplishments: though
sho has not tlio slightest idea of how a loaf of
bread is made ; or whether a ten-pound roast
should remain in tho oven fifteen minutes,
or as many hours; or if tho temperature of
said oven should bo sixty degrees or six
hundred. Others err in tho opposite ex
treme; nnd supposo that to bo a good cook,
iml know how- to keep houso well ; to read
and write; to know enough of geography to
tell north from south, or to bound your
own .Statc,cnough of grammar to distinguish
a noun from an adverb enough of mathe
matics to purchase a new dress, and not get
heated in tho change is entirely Millicient
lor a woman. Well, this last is better than
the first, stilldoes it not lack symmetry and,
consequently, strength and grandeur ?
Education, to bo perfect, must regard
woman as having a body, an intellect, and n
soul.
1 1 am glad tho day has dawned, and is
fast approachinj its meridian, when sho
dares to say that her "soul is her own," or,
ut lca-t, not tho property of tho husband.)
Let each of theso reecivo a duo proportion
of caro and culture, let eaeli be properly
educated, then woman will occupy her trim
and exalted sphere sho will bo what God
designed her to lie, tho ornament, tho com-
anion, tho glory (not tho slave) of man,
liy the education of tho body, wo would
bo understood to mean nn acquaintance with
Its structure, its laws, its economy, and its
use, and tlio application of this knowledge
tn physical training. Tlio body is fear
fully and wonderfully made. ; and, if well
tieatcd and taken euro of, is eminently ad
apted to bo tho companion of tho soul mid
intellect (luring their brief stay upon this
earth. It is not tho jewel, but tho casket,
tho I'Csidcnt'o of tho Inner and immortal self;
and, as such, demands tho utmost care. A
largo proportion of tho happiness of this
life Is made dependent upon tho body. Tho
mind's resources, its knowlcdge,its acquaint
unco with tho external world, havo to bo ac
quired thiotigh various bodily avenues. Tho
eyo has been given (beautiful in its struct
tiro I) among its many indispensable uses,
to take In tho looks of loving friends, uud
tiio bright scenes of our over-changing eartli
utidol'tho bending heavens; tho car to drink
In tlio tones of loved ones, and tho many
voices of this living world, Superadded is
a system of appetites, which, when rightly
understood and wisely regulated and gratl'
lied, aro made to support tho structure and
eiiilrlbuto to its happiness,
lly no means would I havo tho proper caro
of tho body overlooked, in tlio great pro
cow and privilege of education,
I would havo this branch taught in all
our schools. I would havo it taught early
uud thoroughly, I would havo our teachers
understand, and bo ublo to teach, tho laws
that regulate its movements, mid tend to
develop its health, btrciigth, imd beauty,
would havo theso laws thoroughly studied
and scrupulously obeyed. 1 would havo
girls taught, also, that whatever Is calculated
to weaken tho body's energies, or cripplo
any of its powers, 'should bo just as
scrupulously avoided, 1 would have the girls
of five years and upwards taught tho ab
surdity of going to school or elsewhere, in
com weather, and niton through snow
several inchcudccp, with thin cotton stock
lugs and (not Fcldom) c7o7i yaitcrs, while.
their hardy brothers must have warm wool
en socks, and stout leather boots. In short,
I would have coming generations unllko tho
present generation of invalids.
That cruel tyrant fashion will meet tho
young lady, as sho leaves Iho school or home
circle, and steps out into tlio world. fchu
will read to her homilies upon female
cliouclle and politeness. Sho will bid llcr
walk thus .tint so, uso this or that cosmetic,
attend tli.it or the other midnight assembly.
Yea, she may bo despotic enough not simply
to indicate, but to dictalo tho length of the
skirt, and has been known so far to exceed
the bounds of reason, as to contradict that
better but moro old-fashioned dame.common
sense, and insist that if you do not wish to
bo considered countrified, and behind the
times, and if you wish to bo considered
"stoylish," or if you expect the fashionable
Miss A. or tiio elegant Miss 1!. to call upon
you, you must have, among other glaring
absurdities, tho skirt of your dress drwj
from thrco inches to llucc-qtiartcrsof a yard,
no matter how muddy or wet tho walks, or
how costly tho material of which tho dress
is made, no matter, even, if what tho worso
than Useless extra length cost would havo
bought some poor cold littlo girl a warm
llanncl suit.
This tyrant fashion not unfreqttciitly
enters tho social circle, whero all is purity
and peace, and, deaf to all remonstrances of
the enlightened judgment, works ruin to her
votaries, like some evil spirit, who knows no
pity, and feels no relenting.
I would havo our daughters so educated as
lo bo proof against her wiles, to bo true to
their own best interests, to riso above the
edicts of llimsy fashion, and obey tho laws
of their higher nature, treating their bodies
as tlio shrines of their iinmoitai spirits.
lint, to be complete, woman's education
should bo intellectual, such as relates to tlio
better part of our nature, which survives
tho burden and bondage of its lower life.
A few brief years, nnd the living tide sweep
ing along these streets, chafed and vexed,
shall bo but as a spent wave along the bhorcs
of tho everlasting future. Dut tlio in
tellectual life is not thus transient, passing
and perishable, and it is this that demands
especial culture. How much more noblo
to strivo afler intellectual attainments than
to fritter away tho blcs-ed spring-timo of
life in attentions confined to outward ad-
dornments of the body ! It is much more
important that tho immortal dweller within
should bo noble, majestic, polished, and re
fined, fitted to becomo tho companion of the
heavenly hosts.than that the dwelling should
bo decorated with pearls from tho ocean, or
gems from tho mine. It need not be said
heru that youth is tlio proper timo to dis
cipline and elovato the powers of the mind,
to correct tho judgment, to invigorate the
memory, to rein in tlio discttrsivo fancy ; so
that beauty and strength, ease and energy,
may become tho real characteristics of the
inner life.
Our whole life is a school, if wo aro
taught to be hearne.ss; every object and
event may bo made a teacher, Earth with
its teeming wonders ; the heavens with their
shining orbs, silent, sublime, and sweeping
through tho vast abyss of space; tho ocean,
deep-sounding and awe-inspiring in calm or
storm ; tho varied scenes of joy and sorrow,
of trial and tran-port ; all theso havo a
voice and a meaning, and all are life's stern
teachers. Nor is this, all: tlio accumulated
stores of ancient sages, tho miracles of
modern science, tho philosophy of tho hu
man mind, its constant workings among tlio
materials of thought carried in through tho
medium of tho senses ; theso all speak from
their high seals ; and, when heard and
heeded, tlio mind is developed thereby, and
fitted for right action and a right life.
Tho means of improvement and high
mental culture aro accc.--iblo to all. Xono
aro frowned away from tho temple of science,
from tlio great temple of open nature. Tlio
path to fcmalo eminence, may bo trodden by
nearly every plebeian foot. Hannah Moro
enjoyed in early llfo no extraordinary ad
vantages of birth, education, or fortune;
but industry and application gave her an
intellectual elevation and grandeur, which
havo secured to her an honorable and
enviable immortality.
Hut lemalo education, to bo perfect, must
lie moral and spiritual. Tho mind, tlio
intellect, creates a stimulus for its own cul
ture. Iho body has a tougtto to plead its
own cause; and any violation of its laws is
Usually followed by iinniediato punishment.
JSut tho moral nature is perverted and
deaf to its truest interests. It is tlio culture
of tho moral nature that demands tho mo-t
iiiislumbering vigilance ; for it is this which
gives to woman her godliko sublimity, and
allies her to all that is beautiful, trutlitul,
and unchanging, in this or any other world.
It is this that renders her an object ot in
terest to all tho puro on earth or in heaven.
This, too, is tho nature that can bo per
manently perverted or abused. Injuries in-
llictcd on tho body are confined to tho body's
narrow sphere. Hut nil) nbiiso of tho
moral nature is followed witli pains nnd
penalties of tho most permanent character.
Tho thoughts, passions, allcctioiis, and
emotions, make up tho moral or spiritual
nature, tho mysterious and chequered web
wlileh every pulso of life is weaving. .Such
is tho nature of tlio moral constitution, that
every thought, feeling, and emotion is re
flected on tho soul as by an luvisiblo mirror,
and that too forever. Of how much impor
tance is it, then, that tho thoughts, feelings,
nnd emotions should bo right, sincere and
proper; and,abovo all, that tho affections, in
all their warmth and frcdlmcss, should be
trained lo tlio lovo of truth and virtue.
Is not that education liuidamcutally do
fcctlvo which overlooks tho spiritual and
immortal nature? A woman's beauty may
throw a magical .tiiann over many
princes and conquerors may bow with ad"
oration at tho shilno of her wealth, tho sous
of science and poetry may embalm her
memory In history and song; yet If her heart
has never been bionght under tho iullucuce
of sacred leaching, if bho havo not n cheer
ful nnd hopeful belief in God and immor
tality, bho is liablo to becomo tho victim of
passion, and a prey to envy and remorse,
llciiuty is ii. fleeting as tho bloom of tho ex
otic llowcr under thoclillllng Influence of
tho northern breeze ; riches aro as uncertain
ns tho llectiiig wind; every external ac
complishment will wither and fade ; but,
with her soul-nature, fully developed nnd
cultivated, in connection with the physical
and intellectual, woman h prepared for
overy duty and every trial of life.
No 1 1 will correct that: fciho may havo
all I havo mentioned, and yet bo lacking
in ono essential particular; tho means of ob
taining a livelihood by her own personal ex
ertions. . Hut, you say, she could teach, True, she
is capable, hut there aro times when no
more teachers aro wanted.
Let mo relale, as proof of my position, n
circumstance that came within my knowl
edge, and which is but ono of many daily
occurring. A young lady, an intimate
friend of mine, who attended the same high
school, and who was fully qualified to teach,
and who supposed her education completed,
went home. Her father, himself an educat
ed man, alter a thorough examination of her
school attalnmcnts.said to her,"JIy daughter,
ono thing thou lackest, (by tho way, ho was
a practical old Quaker.) licfore 1 shall con
sider thy education complete, thou must
havo a trade.soinething by which thou canst
a trade earn thy bread, if need be."
"Hut," sho expostulated, "what do I want
of n trado? you aro well off; I shall not
need a trade vvhilo I stay at homo; and, if I
should ever need to support myself, lean
teach or even do housework, as thanks to
my mother, I know how." Hut tho father
was form : nothing would do, but somo trade
must bo learned, and so ho left the choico to
her. Sho choso to bo a tailoress: Her
father's parting injunction to her was, "Do
not think of coming homo to stay, until
thou canst mako a complcto suit of men's
clothes, afler which thou shalt mako a suit
for mo on trial, and then wo will see."
Tho young lady, after working a year, was
able to niiikou suit of clothes to satisfy even
the old Quaker, and ho expressed himself
satisfied.
Time went on: tho young lady married a
merchant worth a hundred thousand dolluis.
Sho smiled as she thought of her trade, and
said to her father: "Littlo Drobabilitv of
my having to work at my trade.'' Ills quiet
reply was, "r0 shall sec, thy trado will do
thee no harm."
Ten years pa-s happily and prosperously
away with the young wife, then come re
verses, lvvo short yeais aro fciiflicient to
take fortune, husband, father, and mother ;
ind, as there was nut just then any opening
for a teacher, and a living must bo had, wo
find the young widow glad to obtain work of
tho now grey-haired tailor of whom sho
earned the trade. So we say, no woman,
whatever her accomplishments may be,
should consider her education complete, un
til she posse-scs tho practical accomplish
ment of being able alone and unaided to
provide for herself if need be.
he will then be prepared for the duties
and trials of life. She may then bo a bless
ing to her race; and, when tho evening
shadows of life drop around her, soft and
noiseless as the foot-fall of angel bands, she
will have a solace and support that will
illustrate tho power and preciousiiess of
education. Mrs. M. (J. Walkph,

What People Should Head.
Hookslire very good in their way, but a
person whoso mind and time aro wholly oc
cupied with books is generally of very little
account outside of the pulpit or college. A
book, afler all, is only tho expressions of tlio
opinions of ono person generally upon one
main subject, and therefore is likely to be
wrong as right. There are books tho Hible
for in-taiice which aro recognized as good
in their iiilluenco even by unbelievers; but
tho other books against which no just objec
tions can be urged by some one aro rare in
deed. Had books have dono and aro doing
more liana that all the missionaries that
ever lived can repair. Hut it has been truly
:iid that "everybody should read tho Hible,
ancient and modern history and newspa
per'." Tho first contains words of truth and
wisdom which all would do well to consider
and observe. I ii-tory teaches tho peoplo of
all nations to avoid those errors in govern
ment which have caused war, oppression and
misery. Hut tho newspaper should bo read
by all. It is a compendium of tho history of
sho present time which no person of avcrago
intelligence should bo without, and ho who
refuses to avail hinisclfof its advantages, but
confines himself to tho musty tomes of the
past or tiio windy wordings of merely orna
mental writers, will always bo behind his
more enterprising fellow men of tho prc.-eut
day, and consequently will bo a clog upon
tho wheels of progress and civilization. It
is urged that readers of newspapers will bo
unduly inlluenccd by the opinions of tho ed
itors. This objection will not hold, for tho
reader will generally form his own opinion.
If ho does not llko tho views of tho editor
ho may reject them, but tho news of tho day,
homo and domestic, will teach him moro of
tho objects and actions of his fellow men
than all the volumes of the world, it is a
peculiar age in which wo livo an ago of
more progress than that which has preceded
it and no man who is willing to do his part
in tlio sphere to which God has assigned him
can alford to do without tlio newspaper.
Woman's Lot.
At best, life goes ill with woman in tho
main, AU'ectioHateiicss is her sttong weak
side, and man unremittingly attacks it, Sho
has a haunting apprehension, that in somo
prevailing love, thrilling her blood and
brain, her nerves and heart, lies her safety
and peac. Hut sho can never anticipate it,
nor measure its force. It may not come.
To many it does not ; to others it comes too
Into; whenco agonizing repression, or brok
en vows tragedies without end, sometimes
without namo. Nevertheless, woman's orig
inal stock of hope, elasticity, and cheerful
ness is so greatly in excess of ours that in
tho third, fourth and fifth act of the tragic
comedy, hers is the ampler residue. Nature,
who allotted her tho larger share of sull'er
iug, In meicy granted her superior endur
ance. It is particularly hard that shobhoiild
bo beset in her youth by the hunger of her
heart, and prosecuted through man by tho
hunger of tho senses. As respects her, no
sin bo sinless as her fall, and none so inhu
manly punished. On him who betrays her
through her deepest trust and holiest feeling,
tho world yet refrains from placing the re
sponslbility- So foul an injustice cannot
withstand much longer tho advancing wave
of progress.
Tho woriit wheel makes tho mostnolso.

"Ho Cheerful."
This is the ntlvico contained in one of our
exchanges, and what a good thing it would
bo If nil would follow It. Hut the hnrd
times, tho scarcity of money, tho dtbts we
aro called on to pay when wo haven't the
stamps, nnd provisions to buy, all tend to
mako in feel anything but checiful. How
ever, it does not make matters nny better to
feel bad about theso things, so wo hope our
readers will comply with what tho article
referred to says :
It is now the time to show what kind of
metal you are made of. Never was there a
pciiod within our recollection where there
was io loud a call for the display of a cheer
ful spirit. Times nro dull and there's a de
pressed feeling in tlio community, which, like
certain appetites, "grows witli that it feeds
upon. Ihu stronger tho manifestation of
this spirit of croaking, the farther off will be
the (lay of recuperation. Wo havo had a
long season of dullness, but it cannot last
foicvcr. In the opinion of many whose
opinions are of value, the bottom must be
nearly readied, and then will come more
prosperous seasons. Tlio long protracted
strikes, that have so seriously damaged tho
business interests of tlio country, must soon
end. Tliey aro beginning lo show tininis
takablo signs of yielding, and as soon ns la
bor and capital tuo once moro in harmony,
tho idle millions lying in banks and other
places of safety will bo brought into active
play, the cheerful hum of busy and profita
ble industry will supersede tho discouraging
silenco that for nearly two years has prevail
ed in our factories and workshops, and we
shall start afresh on our career of prosperity-
"Then wear a cheerful countenance, even
though your hearts aro not in keeping witli
tho expression of your faces. Curtail ex
penses hero and there ; lop oil a useless and
perhaps a costly expenditure in this direc
tion, and by retrenchment and economy
strive to make up for tlio deficits in your in
comes, consequent upon hard times. If
everybody could be prevailed upon to look
cheerful and contented, everybody would
soon como to the conclusion that although
thcte is not much profit in business just now,
tho clay cannot bo far distant when this gen
eral buoyant feeling will override all difficul
ties, and bright sunshine will supersede tlio
gloom of tho hour.
Smiggiiis' Pants.
Last OctoHcr, young Smiggins went with
some young ladies chestnuttiiig. X'ow Smig
giiis is polite and bashful and a great admi
rer of the ladies and his own personal ap
pearance, and even on such an expedition
as chestnuttiiig ho could not forbear dress
ing as though ho was going to attend a wed
ding or ball, With his thrco lemalo com
panions he wandered through the woods for
an hour or two. They met witli indillerent
success in finding chestnuts. There were
plenty of them on the trees, but nono on tho
ground. Finally one of the fair ones, who
is to Smiggiiis as tho "apple ofhis eye," sug
gested he could climb a tree which was load
ed with burs and knock some of them off.
This was an ordeal which our friend had not
anticipated, but he would do anything to
please her. He accordingly divested himself
of his coat, and hugging the trunk of the
tree, lie began to work his way up. It was
a tough job. His pants were not made for
such work, and their close fit brought an
awful strain upon that part which was most
prominent during tho ascent. Hut Smiggiiis
must go up, and ho got along very well for
about fifteen feet and then lio heard a rip, and
felt a relaxation of the strain upon his pants.
That sound nearly caused him to lose his
balance. He knew that three pairs of eyes
were centeied on him and he worked his
way around on tho opposite of the tree but
they followed. Hero was a dilemma, lie
didn't like to come down, and ho feared to
go up, His arms ached, and perspiration
broke out all over him. lie could not long
remain in his then position, o he gave a
determined push, and r-r-r-rip went those
pants, separating in an awful manner. The
ladies immediately averted their gaze and
stuffed their handkerchiefs in their mouths,
and had ourhero given them time they would
havo been out of tho way, but ho was so
startled by the situation, that ho lost his
strength and slid down tho tree at a fearful
speed, so fast that tho already rent pants
wero almost torn from his body. As soon
as lie struck the ground ho darted oil' into
tho woods with flying tatters of intermingled
lines. The ladies camo homo alone, and if
any ono finds a coat in tlio woods in this vi
cinity, that coat belongs to Smiggiiis.
His lici'omiiicitilatious,
A gentleman advertised for a boy to assist
him in his office, and nearly fifty applicants
presented themselves to him. Out of the
wholo number ho in a short timo selected
one, and dismissed tlio re.-t.
I should liko to know,' said a friend, 'on
what ground you selected that boy, who had
not a single recommendation.'
You aro mistaken,' said tho gentleman,
'ho had a great many. Ho wiped his feet
when he camo in, nnd closed tlio door after
him, showing that ho was careful, lie took
off his cap when ho eamo in, and answered
my questions promptly and respectfully,
showing ho was polite and gentlemanly.
Ho picked up tho book which I had pur
posely laid upon tlio floor, and replaced it
upon tho table, whilo tho rest stepped over
it or shoved it aside ; and ho waited quietly
for his turn, instead of pushing and crowd
ing.sliovving that he was honest and orderly.
When I talked with him, I noticed that his
clothes wero carefully brushed, his hair in
nice order, and his teeth as white as milk ;
and when ho wroto his name, I noticed that
his linger nails wero clean, instead of being
tipped with jet liko tho haiidsomo littlo fel
low's in tho blue jacket. Don't you call
these letters of recommendation ' 1 do, and
would give more for what I can tell about a
boy by using my eyes ten minutes, than all
tho lino letters ho can bring me.'
