WOMAN: ffirer Influence on the moral condition of the Community. Tho intimate relation and mutual dependence of man and woman, is fully declared In their cm. Lion. Woman being declared "hono of the bone and flesh of tho flesh" of man, plainly establishes the determination of Deity, that they are destined to be intimately assaciated, and to exert a mutual influence over each other, either for weal or woe. This point, .I suppose, none at the present day are disposed to gainsay. Tho fact that woman's in. titmice is much greeter, and more efficient than man's, is I think beyond dispute. To establish this, we have to refer merely to facts In sacred and profane' history. Eve's influence over our com mon father in inducing him to eat of the forbidden fruit, "whose taste brought death into the 'World and all our woo," is an early Instance of woman's power. The man "beloved of God end approved," David even, the "man after God's own heart," ex . porienced woman's powerful influence; but why multiply instances? facts speak for.themselves,and substantially maintain the point. The natural formation of woman, the delicacy, feebleness, and weakness of her physical construe. Lion, obviously manifest, her dependence, declare man, the protector and woman the protege, as is so beautifully represented by the delightful atithoreas:' Al font, pour quo la nature et fordo social se mon trent Jane touts leur beanie, quo l'homnie soil pro tedeur, et la femme protegee, mais quo ce protec. tour adore la foiblease qu'il defend, et respects la divinite sans pouvoir, qui, comma sea dierix Pen tacle, ports bonheur aea maieon. Ici l'on (Breit oresque quo los femme. sent le sultan, et les horn mos to serail." It, the original fiat of the Creator madposses ses greater power of body and mind, and the weaker sex naturally regards her more reboil companions as her protectors and support. The simple fact that she is the "weaker 131 s el," ea- tittiKßV/DoCtUt cTittUl►24KMP(to QMP67 4 42lizrarim 94, aaaaa sures to hor that right of protection which her feebleness demands. She forms en important part of the integer of society, and what a wise Provi dence has seen fit to deny on the one part, is am ply supplied on another. He has granted to wo man an influence which man can never exert. The relation she bears to her children as a moth er, that innate sense of dependence which the in fant of the earliest days manifests, the constant hourly intercourse of mother and child, ell,affurd her opportunities fur securing en influence which the father can never posiess. It is in the early state of society ur in unehristianixed lands only, that wo see woman deprived of that influence which sire possess'es naturally, and emu there, it is felt to a greater or less degree. But, whom ever the benign and happyiiiiluences of Christi anity exist, woman inaintaimi, a powerful. irre. sistiLle control over the intermits of society and destinies ()loathing. The inherent possession of grace, softness, and delicacy of person; wit, sprightliness, and vivacity of mind; devotedness, ardour, and strength of attachments : of decision, promptness, and dignity of character ; oll,easily govern and direct wan in the moral and social compact. I intend no insipid ccmpliment, no senseless fluttery to woman, when I accord to hor the im. portanco rind dignity of the situation she emu. pies in' society. As a mother she forms in the same mould of her own character, that of her ten. dor baba, "when prattling at the knee," she in stils those principles which modify and form their slier characters and habits. She has in her own hands, as far as human .agency dares presume, the immortal destiny of her ofrapring. Oh! how truly awful the respostbility of it mother! Is there one who can think of it, without constantly seeking guidance from that power who overrules all? As her ofThpring increase, in years her in fluence is strengthening; in maturer years it is felt, in social intercourse, cuinmunities feel it. Nations and national characters are funned, by the influence which the mother exerted over her "prattling babe." It is of the influence of woman on the mural condition of the community. particularly, that I design to speak. As a daughter and a enact, she may maintain the happiest control over those who como in her circle, by her amiability, grace. and dignity of deportment; as a mother, she modifies the nature and disposition of her children; as a wife, she unconsciously moves and sways the pursuits and character of her husband ; and as a member of society, she encourages by her smiles, and firrbide by her frown whatever is virtuous or vicious. Such is woman as she should be, and as heaven destined her to be; but alas ! very differ ent from what she universally is. This is true and cannot be denied. When faults are as.evi. dent as the noon day sun, we should nil t - cloak or wink at thorn, for filar f wounding inhere it is our duty to correct. Vice. are no less so in the sight of 'Him, "who trieth the reins, and knoweth the heart of children of mon," whether they be committed by the moat noble, or the most in. significant. With Him there are no respectable faults, no royal prerogatives of vice. The latter consideration naturally leads mete that portion of my subject, to which I attach much importance, and to which I am anxious to direct the attention of those who honor those remarks with a perusal. It is this. The influence co' wo-. man as It exists in the higher el f society, over the moral condition of men who aro comps. nente of this society. It is well known, that how. ever topublican and equal any people are, there must and will be different circles among that peo ple—and it is another flat equally obvious, that whatever is patronized, end encouraged by the higher class, will be imitated and adopted in the lower; the sanction which they give to vice, will find ready adoption in the more humble grade. lip ce it le our design to attack vice in its high estate, to strike at the evil at its root. When we look abroad and obeerve the awfully .devastating and destructive effect which respectable trice is producing, and when we see the servile depend ence on popular favor, the miserable want of in. dependence to condemn, whatever we way disap prove as immoral and vicious—when wo see those of known, notorious immorality.courted, respect ad, and complimented—we tremble to think of what may be the effect on the community. Who are the men to whom society looks for its comforts end pleasures? Who are the recherches, the dia. Lingoes? Who are they to whom woman, lovely woman, extends her patronizing smile? Who aro the companions which mothers eook and court for their daughters? I soy, who are they ? Ale they not mon of notoriously dissipated, vicious habits? Are they less respectable and courted on account of their habits? . Let the fashionable gentleman, who can speak fluently of "Bulwer'e last," of Bo; ofMadam—'s singing, of Mr. or Mrs—'s playing, let him be of a fashionable coterie, either by right or by sufferance, either by virtue of his own right, or a mote parvenu attache—any thing that is fashionable, and does not she, to whom he is the deadliest enemy, readily, cheerfully, re ceive, acknowledge—aye and boast of his anon. lions? On the other ha nd. in what esteem Is that man hold, who acquaints himself with the Histo ry of Nations, instead of Bulwor, reads the Bible, instead of oz, attends tho ordinances of the Sanctuary, instead of the Theatre? He is voted a bore, low, vulgar, ignorant; ah this "ignorance is bliss, and 'twine truly folly to be wise." There aro many, yea, 1 rejoice to say very many, who would court his society and be proud of his inter. course. Is it not time that virtuous women, whose approbation mon love to merit, should be aroused to the respenribilities of her station ? Is it not time that she should throw dither shackles with which fashionable despotism has enthralled hor, and rise superior to the mandato, of* depra. ved society When can we expect that rico will cease to be respectable ? When will immorality I and profanity cease to be connived at by fashion able patronage ? When women in' her powerful influence, will assume the noble independence to dare "the frowns of outrageous" . fashion—when she will refuie her company to, and debar from her association, the vicious—when she shall as. sume the noble dating to disown him who is on. worthy of her—then, nor Ulf then, shall we have the satisfaction of seeing our young mon, (who might be ornaments to society, but whose habits have debased them) such ac they were diatined to be. Instead of being the distingues, for their personal adornments, and fashionable slang, they would be the , distingues for their noble virtues and merits. It is woman, "fairest of creation! last and best" gift of heaven to man, aided by divine grace, who can effect thts consummation most de• voutly to bo wished. It is to her we torn, as the sheet anchor of, the safety , of our young mon. Let her determination be to produce a reformation in these matters, and the time will soon arrive, when it will be done; or no exception to the rule will be established, which has never yet happen ed, viz. that woman has failed in the accomplish. :neat of her determination.. Were this the case, would woman hut arouse to a sense of the danger which is threatening her son—would mothers bo more - careful in the seiection of companions, and associates for their daughters --Would the young lady despise him, who holds ber virtuous sox in contempt, and receive him who entertains a just I appreciation of hei worth, that, would be seen a radical, permanent reform commencinin then would bo left two alternatives to our youth—virtu. ous association, or misery with vicious compan ions. Would woman do thia,then "would follow as doth the night the day," that men would cease to be what they now aro. I deem it entirely superfluous to enter into an argument to sustain the-truth of these positions. It is well nigh an axiom that "woman rules, that man obeys.".

But Os some of Pat's habits were of the worst order, the girl would not my " , yes" exactly, but "kinder ailed off." As be was engaged on the public works some miles from the village, another lover of the girl cut in upon Pat at a great rate, and pressed hir suit with so ranch vehemece, that in a short time he gamed the axnent of the girl to marry him. Now it so hap pened that on Saturday, a week ago, Pat got discharged in good season from the pub. tic works, and thought that, like Sampson, he would visit his cruel lair oas; whether BY ROBERT WHITE MIDDLETON. with a kid or whiskey, the Daily news aa►th not.

Slinging these over h►a shoulder; ho starts at full speed for the place where the auptiels were to be consummated. Panting like .a race horse, covered with sweat and dust, he ar rived at the door just as the betrothed pair drove up. Pat determined at all hazards to cur out his rival, and hand the doubly be. loved from the buggy. A violent altercation took place between the two claimants of the lass.
