Respectfully yours, &c. Chapter on Females. We like to look upon a healthy woman— she is a prodigy ia the nineteenth century. Wherever you go you see scores and hund reds of spleeny, feeble girls, who run heardiy muster courage to make their beds wash their laces, and drive an intruding cow from the yard. Tell them about early rising, fresh air and healthy exercise,and they heaven sigh as long as the moral law and rnox-e away. You expect them to get up before day—to work in | the kitchen to breathe the fresh air of morn- i ing! Preposterous and absurd. They have I never seen tiie sun rise and would hardly know ; hut the sun continued to shine forever, if it I were not tor the almanacs and tht-ir grand- ! mothers. No wonder tiiat every year sweeps i to tfie grave so many young women, who have | been sickly and otleminate ever since they Were born into the world ; and death will con- I than- to select theqj as his victims till they learn their duty and pursue that course which insures health, strength, and long life. Our great grand mothers liveij to a great age and never thought ol'complaining or lying down to die, till they had at least reached the me ridianot life. Fhoy were-tout strong happy and hearty. Why ? They rose early’— work ed like heavers and never ‘spent the midnight hours in dancing. Instead ol being frightened lat a mouse nibbling at tl.eir feet a beetle on their necks a fly’s foot on their arms in tin nb -cncc of their lathers and husbands, they would ■ -hoot bears and catamounts, and keep at buy a party ol savages.

Now it is the reverse.— j Men have about as many wives- -diseu-i i of! late have been so fatal among the female sex. , Do you know the cause ? It is found in listless idleness—inactivity —lute hours— thin shoes— | muslin dresses—a horror of the fresh, morning J air—-and in that detestable stuff, miscalled literature, stitched in pink and yellow covers, which is flooding our country. -If they will do nothiug else, young ladies will sit and rend ‘ from morning till night, that sickly, sentiment- | al. impure, nnd we will say licentious trash, that is thrown nut in such abundance from the - press.

If you tori’t p’lieve dat isli cool jusht smell of te mug. Religion.—There is a rcli-tion in exery thing around us—calm aud holy religion in the (inbreathing things of nature, which man would do well to imitate. It is a meek and blessed influence, stealing as it xvere, upon ’ the heart. It comes quietly and without ex citement. It has no terror—no gloom in its ■ approaches. It rouses not the passions, and is untrammelled by the creeds and unshad owed by the superstitions of men. It is from the hands of the author, and growing from the immediate presence of the great spir it which pervades and quickens it. It is writ ten in the arched skies. It is oil the sailing clouds and invisible winds. It is amongst the hills and valleys of the earth where the shrub l;-ss mountain pierces the atmosphere of the eternal winter, or where the mighty forest fluc tuates before the strong wind, xvith its dark waves of green foliage. It spreads out like a legible language upon the broad face of the unsleeping o -ean. It is that which lifts the spirit within us until it is tall enough to over look the shadow of our place of probation— which breaks link after link, the chain which binds to materiality, and opens to our imagi nation ,-t world of spiritual beauty. Keeping Horse.—A young married woman who has not had the opportunity of profiting by the advice and example of a good mother, will find .some difficulty ut first in spending her money to the best adx'aritage ; lor there is re ally an art ia spending money, though not in getting rid ol it. Some women will keep house respectably and plentifully oil one-third less money than will he required by others, and without either meanness or illiberal deal ing- But, to do this, judgment, forethought, and experience are necessary. One woman will he able to tell you how much her house keepi ig costs to a shilling, while another can not even guess within ten. The former has method, rule, regularity, and a certain sum j assigned to her; while the latt -r it is all hap j hazard it comes and it goes, she neither knows hoxv nor cares. And this is almost sure to be the case i! the money is doled out by her hus band in a few shillings at a time.
