He will look through the ce- j r- monies which men may act from* deference to their company, and , bv which indeed* they recognize and bow obedience to the send- I ment above expressed ; he will 'oolc through these blinds ol state, 1 into the liosoui of the private fam- , ily* and watch the manners df the j husband and the father when eve |rv restraint is removed. It will be by .the discoveries which he lhrill make here, that he will direct hs admonitions; and on this ground, I lear the moralist, not ot Virginia only, hut of all those states wh’th boast of their refine ment, will find tod much rOum lor censure and admonition. What is true of nations; in this case, it., I presunit, is equally true ol individuals ; or in other words the civilization of the nv.ih, like that of the nation, may be fairly estimated by the degree of respect which he pays to the fair; When I speak ol civiliz-uion, I do not mean science ; since we have some times seen a very highly il luminated mind, connected with the cold, a malignant, or a faro cious heart; but by civilization I mean, that change which is wroug.it upon the sav.sge man by the humanizing, softening, re fin ing power of vocul virtue. Nei thei by rtsptct to the fair do 1 mean the bows and grimace oi J a /'CUt maitre , which a monkey I might learn ; nor the sti4l more imposing exterior ol eleganee and sensibility which a Z«hico could .t«s.ime ; bin, by, respect to the fair y 1 mean a genuine and tender deference, which has not merely glanc'd upon the surface, but pen cil ated arid pervaded every por tion of the heart ; [ mean not an occasional shew, but a sincere, a perennial an habitual respect and affection, which render* a man involuntarily assiduous ;o the wants and sympathetic with the minutest sufferings of the softer and gentler sex. With these ex planations, I resume my position, and l beg mv male reader to as. sure himselfthut v?hatever fi.g ire he may make in other respects ; however brilliantly he may shine as a man of erudi ion, gcniils, wit, tor humour, lie is, nevertheless, civliz.d or not In proportion as he has learned to rc-pect ihe fair ; and more particularly that portion ul them whose pt Otection he may have assumed. It is a mournful truth that the j life of the finest girl among us, is too often a series of suffering St of sorrow. iuo many of t"h« m pass on to death, without having once found the “ sunny slope ” ol tran quillity, on which they could re pose and tleclarc themselves, for * moment, at Their suffer ings begin often with tile. The restraint ol iheir childhood even when they are salutary, are sour ct t ol u ouble ; because their mo tive is not yet preceived bv the young and inexperienced m nd. But not unatqutndy the restraints ol childhood instead d being prompted by parental wisdom and tenderness, aie the momentary dictates ol headlong passion and brutal cruthy. I his tyranny com menced in their ».hildhood, is ex tended even to then maturer years, and it becomes the more severe as it is thi n iuflicted ou a mind capa ble of estimating its wrongs, and often exerted on those sensibilities of the heart which can least brook the curb ami lash- ot authority. Marriage ilscll is, too tAquendy, I'ttie more than a change of ty tants ; :ukl the idol .of the sighing and adoring lover dwindle-, down into the neglected, oppressed, in. suited drudge of an unprincipled and pi oil gate husband.

My heart bleeds at the recollection of her. lint let me try to command my self while I tell this tale of joy turned into sorrow ; of the fairest hopes reversed and blasted—of tile brightest lustre and beauty extinguished forever, i '? Her parents were noti ich ; hut thev were jjktod. Alth>nph they had lived nfuch in the wrfrfii, they retained a »in*jdicity of character which ivndw rarely encountered except in the description of poet?..
