Wo would bo , under stood by the use of tho term-ignorant,- as wishing to convey the picture of a mother whose maiden days were devo ted to the ‘ acquirement of fashionable accomplishments, to the exclusion of- solid mental culture and acquirements. The woman who reigns the queen of the bail-room is. very seldom found ca pable of being the governess of her Own children ; and the time spent At soiree and route will be bitterly regretted wizen age brings experience and conse quent remorse for the evil she has inflic ted, and her incapacity to disoharge properly the interesting and important' duties of lior station, when it was her natural duty to be at once an instructor und an example. The maiden who casts aside her book for the cotillion, will never win the love and esteem of a sensible man; and should she select a partner for life among her partners in the dance, she will find, when it is too late, that her choice has been as unfor tunate as tho place where she first at tracted his notice was injudicious.
