ODtItOSIVIV.i)`SIQ FOR TUE GETTYSBURG STAR AND BANNER On Female Education. Montior PIOLOSOPIIERS express their adoption of the opinion so long sanctioned by PLATO, and nutintnined among the enlightened and judicious of all ages: "That there is no natural Ml:nonce between the Sexes, but in point of strength; and when the entire sexes are compared together, the female is doubtless the mformr—but in individ uals, the Woman has often the advantage of the Man." There cannot be the least doubt, that if Pluto was wrong in this opinion, plenty of argu ments would havo been found to contradict it by the learned mon who havo succeeded him. And therefore we must look to all the differences be. tweon the sexes, w hother intellectual or otherwise, us being nothing more nor loss than the result of EDUCATION—taking that word in its widest sense comprehending not merely the scholastic in structions received in youth,but the habits of mind resulting from situation, or being the ellimt of the physical organization of the system. The strong form of the maid is fitted for bodily exposure and capable of enduring fatigue; whilst the less mus. color female requires not the same measure of ex. orcise for the preservation of animal health.— I fence aro the retired habits which they acquired so young, derived from their want of familiarity with the dangers to which man is constantly ex posed; and though woman wants the opportuni ties of exhibiting strength and courage, she has, at the sometime, abundant moans of showing her patience and resignation in this particular. In deed, I hope all will admit that the mental consti tutions of the sexes are most happily adapted to the different situations they occupy on tho earth. The male being throughout animal creation generally the protector of the female in momenta of insult or attack; whilst his softer companion is destined to a Iford him comfort and consolation in the season of unhetion. Thus, by the acquaintance of (b. males with distress not their own, is that sympa thy exhibited so characteristic of the softer part of creation. For the proof of this. I could give nu merous instances were it necessary; but I trust I am borne out by the evoty day occurrences °filth. Therefbre to the different process of their Educa tion is imputed the inferiority of the fair sox to the stronger in a capacity for deliberate thought & the different pursuits winch require systematic mantel attention, turd to the lively and sensible imaginations which females aro so peculiarly pos. sussed of—as well as to the easy influence which casual associations obtain over their acknowledg. ad superiority in Epistolary and othor modes of writing: The time was, but has happily passed away, when the Literary acquirements ofthe female sex wore treated as "starched pedantry of vain proton. siom;" calculated to unfit them fbr thaw domes tic affections constituting the chiof charms of so ciety. Mai did the satirists intend who under valued human nature so much as thus to level their shafts against its chief support? Let those who quote the hackneyed sayings, that "every woman is at heart a rake;" and that "most wo men have no character at eV—with other charg es equally unjust- 7 -recollect how Port: and SWIFT repaid two beautiful females who sacrificed every thing to their promotion and happiness. Oh, wicked, ungrateful man! Cowardly ingratitude to their confiding hearts `as not enough for you; but you must endeavor to traduce the whole sox, by publishing Enure, heartless libels against them! But innocence is never without persecution.— Look at our satirists of the present day. 'rho meritioU of names is unnecessary, as well as corn •meitt, upon their motives. They had 'Ater con sultiytkfable of the "Fox and the Grapes," instead of rijilicking their imaginations for means to pervert Religion, and thus violate the laws of hu manity. Tho time for such satire is passing a way; and what remains of prejudices dishonora ble to the sex, is fast yielding before the light of truth. Education is rapidly extending itself through all classes of society. There is now no longer any dread that the culture of Science among females should wear the front of masculine boldness. It is now becoming an evident truth, that knowledge is favorable to female industry, female affection, and female virtue; and that literary refinement -wives a brilliant lustre to devotional piety, whorth or moving through the silent vale of domestic hap piness, or gaily ranging amid the crowded haunts of fashionable society. A new, bright and glo rious path is now opened for female talent. Now she can lighten the burden of misfortune without any sacrifice of MODESTY, that brightest ornament of her nature—that gem which, in a young fe male, is as the flower of the tender plant, promis ing excellent fruit in duo season. To destroy modesty, would be to destroy the germ of every virtue that binds society together, and preserves inviolate the sweet bud of Innocence from tho blasting breath of an envious world. Rob society of VIRTUE, and you give power to the heartless vil lain to walk abroad through the earth and blast at once each precious flower, whether blooming in the rural shades of country simplicity, or grac ing the lively and gay festivals of thronged cities. If Education is important to man, why then is it not equally so to woman? Aro not their minds capable of the most elegant, as well as the most delicate impressions? Nothing short of Education can give grace and dignity to the female charac ter; nothing else can so well qualify them for par ticiplting in the pleasures of social and polished life. Learned men onions° will undoubtedly seek for educated females to be their companions, that they may possess correspondent qualifications; and thus by concentrating the mutual influences of their minds, lighten the cares and anxieties inci dent to a married state. In a good wife, is con centrated all a husband's earthly happiness; the pomp, magnificence and pride of wealth sink into nothing when compared with the really solid pleasures to be enjoyed in the society of an amia ble and educated wife, whose sincere purity of heart imparts a moral influence to every one around her. What constitutes the centre of every home?— Whither turns the husband's thoughts when his foot aro weary with wandering, and his heart sick with disappointment? Or, if a truant thought over (bend a resting place within his breast, whore shall ho go to look for sympathy unalloyed and heartfelt, but to her who is over ready to share alike his prosperity or adversity? Sho is to him every thing— 1) "Tim treasures of the doop aro not so precious, As tim concealed comforts of a men Looted up in woman's love." Behold tho husband guilty of any orror or crime, whore is the source this side of Heaven to which ho can look for pardon and forgiveness, but the partner of his bosom, tho mother of his childron? Tns MoTtiv:n! Oh, what throbbings of reveren tial recollections seize the heart at the mention of that sweet name! If any being on earth holds a greater degree of influence than anotherover so ciety, that being is the mother of infancy and ris ing youth. Consequently, if there bo a class of persons who should be educated and possessed of every literary and mental qualification, thut class ought to be the Mothers of future generations.— On the mother, devolves the care of the first stages of that course of discipline which is to form n be. ing for becomirt, perhaps, this future ruler of no tions, or the devout adorer of his Creator. A mother's tenderness calls into exorcise the first spark ofuffection that springs up in the heart; her constant attention nourishes and causes to ex pand the important germs of her offspring's intel lect. She first teaches the little hands to raise to Heaven, and the infantino tongue to lisp in pray er—she herself watching over them, their guar dian angel, breathing among them the pure spirit of devotion. Then why is the subject of Female Education slighted or satirized? Can they be charged with possessing a shade of churlish disposition that might, in any way, become injurious? On the contrary, the sympathy of their generous nature has mado them bettor calculated for giving than enjoying. Can Man bo joalmni, lest woman may deprive him of exclusive dominion in authorship? No; the enlightened will rejoice that he can find allies among the softer part of tho human family, whose talents, uprightness and clearance of life, will bo able to complete the good work that his greatest efforts must have loft unfinished. Education must triumph when the world once becomes aware that it is the chief prop of every angel-like attribute of the female. Whore can wo look for the vices that reigned within the breasts of a Sheridan, a Byron or n Burns, with w number of other splendid victims? (as I must call them.) Whore, I ask, can Wo look for similar vices among the talented writers of the other sex?

The following letter from the lion. GEORGE CHAMBERS, Member of Congress from this Dis trict, to the former Secretary of the Apprentices' Temperance Society, was read to the Society at a late meeting and its publication requested. We cheerfully comply with the request, and hope those addressed may profit by the wholesome advice and kind wishes of the distinguished writer. WASHINGTON CITY, April 29, 1836. DEAR Sin—Your letter has been received :wham ledging the receipt of the Temperance Intelligences, which under my frank I addressed to you, from ob serving that you were Secretary to the Apprentices' Temperance Society of Gettysburg. Having a very favorable opinion of the influence of Temperance associations in promoting the cause of Temperance, and good morals in our country, I am always pleased to be informed of their increase and extension. My gratification is increased when I dis cover the young men of my country embarking with spirit on this great moral enterprize, whose effects will not only have the most happy influence in pre!' serving their own habits temperate, but be hiseruinen tal in promoting the like good habits in others. The association of Apprentices who are yet in their minority, by which they pledge themselves to ab stain from the use of intoxicating liquors, and give their united influence to sustain one another in this good resolution,whilst by their example and opinion, they influence the opinions and actions of others, is an institution highly creditable to its members, ns well us their preceptors, and will no doubt receive as it deserves, the approbation and patronage of the friends of moral and intellectual improvement. Every Apprentice should look forward to the day when he will become a master mechanic, and be the proprietor of an establishment that will give employ ment to his skill and labor, and that of others depen dent on him, whilst it affords him the means of sup port and usefulness; and whatever can best qualify him to perform his part in that station with most ad vantage and credit to himself, calls for his attention, whether it he in the exercise of his skill and indus try, or of those steady and moral habits which are essential to his prosperity, as well as to obtain for him the respect and confidence of society. If youths in their apprenticeship give their atten tion to their moral and intellectual, as well as their mechanical improvement, they not only raise the character of their station, obtain the regard, esteem and kind instruction of their masters, but lay the form , dalion of character and qualifications that will make them proficient and successful in their nrt or trade, as as well as enable them to discharge with ability and usefulness, such public trusts and stations as the con fidence of their fellow-citizens may require them to discharge. The habits, perseverance and success of BEN.TA mut FRANKLIN should encourage the most humble apprentice to imitate the example of that illustrious man, as far ns he is able to accomplish it—with the hope, that if such high honors and distinction should not be attained by him, though accessible to all, yet that he is to remember, that ho is on a road, which if it does not lead him to so glorions a termination, will at least, with proper care and attention, lead him to mechanical usefulness and public estimation. The purpose of your society is so laudable,that if con ducted, as I trust it will be, with subordination and propriety, it must commend itself to your employers, —as well as every good member of society,—l hope it may flourish, and embrace every Apprentice in the Borough of Gettysburg who can be induced to ap preciate the value of character to the youthful ap prentice, and givo his aid to raise its standard by a studious regard to their morals and habits. With my beet wishes for the success of your sock ty, and the prosperity of its individual members, I remain, very respectfully, yours, &c GEORGE CHAMBERS. E. S. RILEY, Secretary Apprentices' Temperance Society of Gettysburg. tCPIID3 12a4)E'JaVc-DI2Wo FEOM THE CINCINNATI Dii44014. The Compromise, A r ALE FOR "TRUE LOVERS." The course of true love never did run smooth. [Midsummer Night's Dream Wriux persons have arrived at a certain period in life, it is astonishing with what grasp habits clin,/ to them. You may rectify a crook in a sap ling, but you can never untwist a knot on a grown up-tree. Cross grained it is, and do what you may, cross grained it will remain. Speaking of knots and cross grained things, puts me in mind of a knotty friend I once had. People aro very much mistaken by the way, when they say old bachelors are crusty. They aro not crusty— that is, Wynn have a cruet of bread or a crust of ice in your mind—for they aro of a hardness or iconoss from rib to back.bone, and thorofore no crust about them. That they aro knotty, I admit; and if you have ingenuity to untie ohs who has been in the habit of consulting his own will, you may as well not despair of finding the philosopher's stone yet, as your sagacity is fully up to the die. covory of any thing. Well, I had a knotty friend, named Will Tomp. kins, who never perpetrated but one pun in his life, and that was when a certain lady told him once that lie was the most knotty fellow she ever saw. Will, with a leer in his left eye, replied that she was more notly by half,as he had been beseech mg her to got ready for tho altar and bridal for the last six months, and every time ho asked her if she was ready, she replied sho was not—not— not. And that, continued Will, is evidence enough that there are moro riots about you than there are about me. "You want me to get ready:for the bridal and the altar, do you, Mr. Will Tompkins," ropliodthe fair :$110; "I will lot you know that M neither a horse nor a culprit, and thotoforo I will not have a bridle in my mouth, nor a haltar about my I forgot to describe this couple, and I therefore have get for to do it, as the old ballads phrase it. ‘Vill was three-and.thirty; corn-fed and corpulent —with tell.talo marks of rod on tho oxtromo and of his nose—fond of the sex, and, consequontly,of good living—and a lover of jokes and his own way of doing things. Will had a streak of wag. gishness in his flesh—his natural lymph was all turned to good humor—and ho was altogether uno• qualled for the heartiness of his laugh, which emotion would cause his cheeks to bo lifted up to the almost total eclipse of that bright little gray luminary, his eye, which would twinkle in the shadow cast upon it, in a manner provocative of the most ludicrous gloo. How did Will manago to preserve his celibacy? Ah! thereby hangs a tale, which, if you'll give me limo, I'll toll you.— But I must. describe Miss Susan Hauthorn first. Sho was twenty five—single.lichntinevor got into the second quarter of a century—she had a black eye, which Will told her looked like Venus, be cause it was bright and cold; and he used to wor ship it every evening, as they do the evening star in Poisia. Miss Ilauthorn's chook was like ono of those roses which aro always in bloom—her brow was white like a lilly—her lip was rod like a honey suckle; and thus much for the botany of her face, which, like an eglantine blossom, was fair and delicate, and wholesome to look upon. There was an attachment subsisting between Will and Miss Hnuthorn, - of some years' standing. Tho people wondered why matrimony, or a squab. blo, or some such interesting issue, was not forth coming. In vain did they attack either of the parties—there rvas a crotchet some whore, but what it was, was the question which no ono could answer. All the girls thought it must.he Miss Hawthorn's fault, and all the mon suspected Will. Thus were the sexes by the ear.. Many were the ingenious speculations as to the cause, which wore sot afloat, as month after month rolled away, and Will visited Miss Hauthorn and she did not change her name. Nobody suspected them of a Platonic attachment, as neither of them wore poetical enough for any thing of that nature. Might it not be romance? Is there no room for romance about an old bachelor's head,or an old maid's heart? The truth is, people aro not aware that tomanco plays around a brow that has a wrinkle in it, al. though some of the most romantic beings in the world are thoro who have survived the "equinoctial lino of life," thirty years, and have prosorvod their single, blessedness without a flaw. Did you nevor see an old bachelor, with a few gray hairs lightly sprinkled over a silver crown, talking about moon shine and Moore's melodies, sentiments and son nets, to a lady with a withering blossom on her clieek,w bile she sighed,and fidgottod,and blushed, as his words stole unconsciously to her heart?— Did you cover see any thing of this kind? Then, I can toll you that you have never witnessed the most Interesting exhibition ofromance, which is indicated in human actions. Will and Miss Hauthorn took their own time to arrange their affairs, and tho world wondered on. Public curiosity does not act like aoput on those ancient folks. They aro deliberate on the serious business of matrimony, and thoy aro not to bo forced into it precipitately by any amount of scandal and small talk that a generous public can bring to bear upon thorn. Among those who wondered most at the dila toriness of our hero and heroine, was a lady by the name of Mary Worland. It was her opinion, that if they meant to marry for the happiness which was to result from tho connexion, it was high time they wore about it. Miss Worland was a faded beauty of thirty--that is to say, twenty. five. Ruttier, which never lies, asserted that about ton years previously, Will had offered him. solf to, and was rejected by Miss Worland, who at that time had en eye on a naval officer, who was flourishing like a moth' about the brilliancy of her beauty, and getting singed at every turn.-- The lieutenant was suddenly called away to the service, and Miss Worland, after sobbing and languishing for a week, turned her oyo with a mollified expression upon Will. But Will, like a philosopher, had already begun to besiege another lady's afFoctions; and Miss found out, too lato,that she had committed a sad blunder when her hopes of an officer induced her to consign Will to all tho pains and penalties of unrequited love Judgo of Miss Warland's surprise, then, when Will, ton years after, again returned to hor, with visits most flattering for their frequency. She fancied she saw in his attentions, indications of a genuine passion in itaincipiency. She forthwith made up her mind that she was wiser than she had been before, and that if Will, like tho prodigal son, after years of wandering abroad,should return to hor house, she would extend both her ar►ns,and give him the embrace of a hearty welcome. Hor heart had expelled its love for military glory, and renewed the palpitations of its younger days,when. ever Will favored her with his presence. Our hero visited hor frequently, and attended to all hor pleasures with wonderful assiduity for several months, and the town began to think that the affair between Miss Hautborn and himself was out—that is to say; that he had got his walking. papers—and that Miss Warlund would,, after all, bo the chosen object of W►il's heart, and the depositary of his most sacked affections. Suddonly,W►ll deserted Miss Wayland, *heeled right about, and resumed his attentions towards Miss Hauthorn, who had evidently pined away as long as NVill made his devoi►s at the shrine of her rival. There was a mystery in all this which people could not solve, and which you, fair reader, cannot solve. Shall I do myself the pleasure of solving the affair for you? Bearing Miss Hauthorii's age in mind, it will , not'appear singular if sho was a little, just n little, squeamish, and quite fastidious. Sho had - a few projudicea. which seemed to her to possess uncon querable force. Fur instance, she would Inilto died, rather than havo dwelt under the same roof whore a kitten inhaled the breath of life, Next to her hatred of kittens, was her hatred of tobacco I—particularly of negate. Sho protested it would I kill hor to look upon the mouth of her husband , smoking like a foul chimney of a damp day.— Now, Will, of all things, loved a fragrant segar, and next to it ho loved Miss Hauthorn, and ho loved his own will better than the will of any body olso. A dilemma is now easily imaginable. Miss frauthorn had engaged horsolfto Will, before she was aware of his failing, and one night, as ho was about to saluto her in a most affectionate manlier, oho shrunk back from his embrace, and—faint. ed: Sho came to, and assured Will that it was the odor of his breath, tainted with pestilential segar smoke, which had caused hor syncopo.— Sho besought him to forsako the filthy practice, and ho promised hor that ho—would not! She was vexed, and hastily declared eho would novor marry him, or suffer him to take any liberty with hor, until ho had desisted from the practice of smoking. More, then, Choy woro at issuo! Alas! Rays the "Alas! how slight a canna mny morn Dinsention botwiat hearts that love." They exhausted their powers of eloquenee and argument, on the question of smoking. Noithor party flinched from their original position. :Thus they conrtod and quarrelled, - for two years: - Ono night, Will,whoso patience was well nigh exhaus ted, wont to see Miss Hauthorn as usual. The lady riicoived him, as sho' always did, with hind; noes. For an hour, they talked over the affairs of the neighborhood, and then Will told her that ho had mode his mind up to ono thing. While the lady listened with groat attention, Will deliber- ately drew from his pocket a match and paper, placed a sogar in his mouth, made fire and lit it. "Now—Miss—Susan—l—want—you,"said ho with a puff at every word—"to givo me a final an swor. Will you accept me, as I am?" "I will not, so long as you are so filthy as to smoke." "Is—that—final?" said Will, puffing. "Yoe—and your impudence is most unexam plod." "Farewell," said Will, and off he started, with a volume of smoke wreathing about his head. Several nights wont and came, but Will came not. Miss Hauthorn scarcely know whether to laugh or cry at what aho formed his obstinacy. She was not a little alarmed, when tidings moiled hor, that Will, instead of shooting a bullet through hiti heart, was engaged in the very silly business of shooting darts at Miss Warland's heart. Grad ually the flower faded from Miss Hauthorn's chock, tho Indio forsook her eye, and a pain gathered in hor breast. She thought she would have the consumption, and become the victim of a broken heart. Novor was maiden in so sad a plight. Should she givo' way? No: the more thought of smoke was insufferable. Sho would discard Will, she thought phi; would; and then aho shod a flood of tears to moisten and keep alive her resolution. One day, as she was lamenting her disconsolato condition, Will came upon her —segarless! He told her his affections woio all hor's—with the ex ception of a moiety, which belonged to sogars— and if she was willing to take him with his infirm ities, he was at her disposal; if not, ho would take her rival, Miss Wetland. She told him her mind .was fixed, irrevocably, and then burst Into tears. Will could bravo the battery of her vocal eloquence, but there was a pathos in hor tears which unmanned him, and ho left her. In an hour after, she received a pink billet. "boar Susan: I will moot you half way. I will compromise our difficulty. I now smoke six per day—l will come down to three—one after each meal. I will die, or' what is worse, marry —if you do not egreo to this proposition. Yours, ever, Will." This proposition wrought a miracle, and the quarrel ended in smoke. Tho chasm between the lovers was abridged. Miss Hauthorn's visage a mended hourly. Miss Warland was left in the lurch, and Will puffed away, end fancied the form of his Inamo rata, in the smoke which wreathed above For fear of further difficulties, they proceeded to the issue with commendable expedition, and in a fortnight Will led the blushing damsel to the altar. Wives- and Sisters. By a correspondent of the Now York Mirror. A deal of mischief and misery is not unfroquont ly occasioned in families, by the intorforonce of relations between man and wife; and, in many in stancos, th unhappiness of a Married couple's ex istence is owing to the weakness of the wifo, and the malignity or mistaken kindness of herfriends. A woman should look upon her husband as her only friond, and, in all cases, wherever he differs with any branch of hor family, she should assume it as a fact, that ho is in the right,and govern her self accordingly. Whenever any one whispers a tale to her, derogatory to her husband, she should look upon tho tale-bearer as the enemy of her hap. piness in the first place; and, in the second piano, as a despicable and importinont person,as all tale. bearers aro. In short, as Miss Pardon says, in the subjoined extract,whon a woman marries, she should give up her heart, feelings, fancies and opinions to her husband, and never allow a sister's influence to be superior to his. For the joy,tran quillity and comfort of hor existence is dependant upon her husband; and,if they cannot live in amity together, they will look in vain for comfort or ro speetability in any of the other relations of life.
