FEMALE EDUCATION.
This important subject is not often better dis-
coursed upon than in the following-reuiarks

Arnongrthe public institutions of Troy,
there is not one‘, which, on the whole and
considered iti all its'b'e'arings, is more iui'p‘ort-
ant to its, general iirflu'e‘n'ce, or which does
more honour to the place. When the influ-
ence which women exercise over tlrelgeueral
charac't‘er of" society, over manners and the
general tone of'seutimeut, is duly weighed, it
is scarcely po‘ssibl'e to attach to-J tiiuch value
to those institutions, by whiclt the female ruind
is lortued and its pe'ruran'eiit bias isgiveu.
It is when we look upon the subject inihis

This is the true cou'r'se beyond all contro-
versy. It is often said that the time bestowed
on theniore abstruse __and severe stpdies, by
young females, is wasted ; that iftliey can ‘cy-
pher t6 the rule of three, ibis enough for
them ;‘ that they are not to be military or even
civil engineers; that they are not to be called
on‘ to explain the heavens and measure the
courses ofthe stars ; and that algebra, and
conic sections, and fluxions are, therefore, sli-
perfluotis to them ; that the plllIOS()pIly.C_I‘ the
mind is for them a v*.'ri'ir study, for they are
not to settle the disputes of the Noniinallsts
and Realists, nor to decide whether creation
is nothing but an idea, or whether there is such
a thing as an idea iti creation ; that they are
only to manage the house affairs, that their
field of action is the donrcstic circle,’and that
tlie-y are only wanted to be meek and gentle,
to love and cherish their husbands and take
care of their children, and ‘cook and uiend and
keep the liiriise in order. _
But all this pl‘0ceeds‘fro_ a miserably poor,
narrow, ignorant vietv '0 the -subject. Not
one niaii in a hundred, evenoftliose who have
received at-liberal education, is called on to
apply in practice and in the pursuit of his cal-
ling in life, muclrof the particular science he
uiay have acspiiretl in his youth. But he is
put upon his course ofliberal studies, for the
sake of the discipline they give his faculties,
for the sake ofthe general illutnination with
which they fill his mind.
If tnen are beriefiltctl by this mental disci-
pline, and walk liiore ‘safely and pleasantly in
this light ofthe,_soul, so do woioen. The
great object of erlticzilioii is to enable tneii to
uiake the bestuse ofthe good gifts which God
has bestowed upon his rational offspring ; to
develope all the factillies with which he has
furnished tlietri, so as to enjoy that higher and
more lasting. liappiness, \_'-'lllCl] depetids not so
much on the accidents of tirrie, as on the per-
manent qualitics ofthe sotil ; and the studies
which are best adapted to protuote these ends,
are the most proper to be ptirsuetl. _
To put a young female upon such a course
ofstiidy as will give her the use of her tnind,
is the best way, not only to promote her sepa-
rate, individual happiness, but to strengthen
the safeguards rifher respectability and honor;
and is by far the sur'est, if not the only way, to
reriderher permanently interesting to others,
as well as usi.-fur‘ to society, wliatcver station
she may be called on to fill: it does in fact
confer upon her, not only her most enduring,
bttt her brightest cliarm, wlictht.-r she is SL".’ll
in the general intercourse ofsocicl_v, or in the
tiiore itrtiriiate conipaniousliip ofthe dourcstie
circle. Music is well; painting is well ; ev-
ery thing that is orditiarily st} lcd accoinplisli-
iiienl is well ; btit after all, there is no accom-
plishuient, considered merely as a means of
pleasure, to be compared to mental activity,
to the ability to think variously, and to cour-
municate easily, accurately, and with vivacity
and force. No lady can always be at her pi-
ano, or at her pencil. Such things nuist of
necessity be occasional. But a cultivated
mind, stored with fzicts, and teeming with
idcas, is forever available, wlietherin solitude
or society ;‘ whether it be employed in silence
and self-comtnuniou, or in imparting to oili-
ers instruction and delight. It is in the soci-
ety of women that the social principle finds its
highest and finest excitement; and there is
no mode of sustaining and prolonging the
pleasure of that exciteiuent, which can be
cotnpared with the ability to converse, to ex-
change ideas, to say souretliing that is worth
saying and receive an equal value in rettiru.
Extract from an Oration dcliveredat Concord
Mass. on the l9lh'.dprif last, by Edward
Everett, Esq.
“ There are those who object to such a cel-
ebration as this, as tending to keep up or to
awaken a‘ hostile sentiment towards England.
Brit I do not feel the force ofthis scruple. Iti
the first place, it was not England, but the
English ministerial party ofthe day,and a
small circle in that party, whit-.li projected the
measures that resulted in our l{cvolutirm.——
The rivhts ol'An.~crica found steady and pow-
erftrl‘as‘serters in England. Lord Chatliam
declared to the House of Peers that he was
glad America bad resisted, and alluding to
the fact that he had a son in the British army.
he added, “that none of his blood should
serve in this detested cattsc.” Nay, even the
ministers that imposed the stamp duty, the
rrrcasure which hastened the spirit ofAinerica
to a crisis, which it might not liaye reached
in a century, Lord Méitisfield, the Duke of
Grafton, the Earl of Slielburue, Lord Catn-
« den, rose, one after another, and asserted in
the House ofLord's, that they had no share in
the meastires-wliich were proposed by the vc
iy cabinet, of which they were leading mem
But I must go farther. Did faithful
history compel us to cast on all England unit-
ed the reproach of those measures, which
drove otir fathers to arms; and were it, in
consequence, the unavoidable effect of these
celebrations to revive the feelings of revolu--
tiouary times in the bosoiirs ofthe aged ; to
kindle those feelings anew, in the susceptible
lieatts ofthe young ; it would still be otir duty
-‘on every becoming occasion, in the strongest
‘colours, and in the boldest litres we can cotii
inarid, to retrace the picture of the time that
trietl ‘tneu’s sou-ls. We owe it to our fathers,
we owe it to our children. A pacific and
friendly feeling towards England, is the duty
vofthis nation, but it is not our-only ditty, it is
not ottr first duty. A-urerica owes an earlier
and a higher duty to the greataud good men;
who caused her to be a nation ;: who at an ex-
i reuse oftrcasitre, a contempt-of'peril, a,prod-
igality ofblood-—rhe purest and noblest that
‘ever flowed--of which we can nuiv hardly
conceive, vindicated to this cotitiirerrt a‘ place
among. the nattorrs ofthe earth. I- cannot
‘_cousent,,out of tenderness to the memory of
the Gages," the Hulclllllsolls,-' the Grctivilles
and Nullllfi,-'_l.Il8 Dartttiouths and Htllsbeé
roughs, to cast a veil over the Ir'lI)0l'll‘S and spac-
ritices ofthe Q_Jui.rc_vs', the Adarnses, the Han-
cock: aridtlie Warrens. I am not willing~to
give up to the ploughsliarej the‘ soil wet with

olive ol peace in the furrow.

uieiits of the disasters of France ; does she
tear dowir from the rafters of her chapels,
where they have for ages waved in triumph,
consecrated to the God ofBattle_s, the banners

wiser, ‘did Isay? she is _t'ruer, juster to ;lie
riietriory of her l'atliers;aiid the spiritqof lier
clilldreli. The national cliaractei', in some
ofits important eleriierils, must be formed-, el-
evated, aud strengthened frotn the materials
which history presents. The great objection
which has been urged-, and urged at the point
ofthe bayonet and the mouth of the catitidri,
by the persons of arbitrary power in Europe,
against revolutionary and popular govern-
ments, is, thatthey want a h_istori‘c_al basis
which alone, they say, cati itiipart stability
and legality to public institutions. , But cer-
tainly the historical basis is of t_i_iuch greater
moment to the spirit, than to, the institutions
ofa people ; and for the reason, that the spirit
itself of a nation is far more iinportant titan
it be sound and true, and it will sooner or la-
ter find or make a remedy for defective insti-
tutions. But though the institutions sliorild
surpass, in theoretic beauty, the fabled per-
fection of Utopia or Atlantis, iiiiliorit :1 free
spirit, the people will be slaves; they will be
slaves ofthe most despicable kirid,—pretend-
ed frcetncn.
“ And lrc'wis the spirit of a people to be
formed, and animated, and cheered, but out
ofthe store house ofits historic recollections?
Are we to be eternally ringing thciclianges
upon Marathon and Therniopylre; and going
back to read in obscure- texts ofGre-elt and
Latin ofilie great examplars of patriotic vir-
tue? I thank God, that we can find them
nearer borne, in ottr own country, on otir own
soil ;—that strains of the noblest sentiment,
that ever swelled iii the breast of uiau, are
breathing to us out of every page ofour coun-
try’s history, in the native eloquence of our
mother tongue ;—that the colonial and the
provincial councils ofAnierica, exhibit to us
models oftlie spirit and character, which gave
Greece and Rome their narrie and their praise
among the nations. Here we ought to gofor

old age. Men will drink tiiore than is neces-
sary, notwithstanding the destruction it makes
with their constitutions, and women cannot
be fashionable without being skewered up in
whaleboue. This business ofquenching thirst
makes shocking destruction in the world’;-
still it is very uugenteel not to conform to the
fashion-—so some thousands of new drunkards
are tnauufactured yearly, who might other-.
wise be the first rate of useful cilizr.-r-is. A
medical gentleman has been prophesying a
great mortality, not long licuce, which will be
exclusively confined to young ladies. The
first approach of this alarming iiralady may
be known by stentorious breathing, after the
slightest exercise ; ‘sudden fainting fits at
church; a pale face; and notliiogr at all like
an appetite. The satiative measures now to
be adopted by those who may now be suffer-
ing frorri the like etnbarrassmeuts, consists
altogether in giving freedoui to the respirato-
ry organs; and this can only be dotie by wear-
ing loose flowing dresses, at the’ satire time
their stourrclrers are used for heating a bath
by five o’clock in the morning.
How the lllllt-‘S have changed within a few
years! There is uotliiug now more pleasant,
nor tiiore in vogue, than to be in ill health-—
because it sounds well,_aud makes peopletalk;
go away they go to the springs, 8:. put their ari-
cles out ofjoint in wallziug, when in fact, at
home, it required a servant to draw their
stockings on. Health and happiness have
been at war ever since the revolution ; ifoiie
is sick, why then there is leisure to enjoy
friends, visit Saratoga, Niagara, Mount Hol-
yoke, and forty other places. Red cheeks, a
sound stomach, and industry, are poor recom-
urendat ions in a wife--they are so masculine;
andipray what is more vulgar, in any thing
like a man, than to hear him positively de-
clare, in the very face and eyes ofwell bred
people, that he never had the dyspepsia,wlreu
it is all the go! In this age of refinement, if
persons desire to rise, they must lie in bed ;
turn noon itrto miduiglit; sigh without pain ;
take advice, and neither follow nor pay forit;
take a footman; take awcold every time the
wind blows east ; take ' ‘aunt and~j.-rm, some
where, to wear titne away ; take a few com-
pliinents; take tea--and that is taking titire
by the fore-lock in I825.
It is all nonsense to talk about turning such
people froui their bad habits ; they will just
‘as soon submit to the operation ofbeing turn- _

It consisted of the Providence, 32 guns, corn

About eleven o’clock the fog began to clear
off, when the crew or the Queen ofFrance, to

of I50 sail, under convoy ofa 74, aml several

factory,liad the riiisfortune of being corirpletely
scalped. Her hair caught in some ofthe ura-
cliinery, by which she was raised suddenly
from the door to the height oftwo or three
feet, when the skin on the back of her neck
was instantly rent, and stripped over her head
quite to her forehead, taking olfall her hair,
and leaving her skull entirely exposed and
bare. The operation was so quick, that she
did not realize any pain till some time after
the accident happened ; nor has the pain at
anyititne siticc been so excruciating asmiglrt
have been expected. She isiu a fair way of
recovery, and will probably be soon restored
to her usual state of healtli.--.7V'ew Bedjbrtlpa.

AI\'D CONSUMPTIONS.
THE high reputation that A1vnEttso.~t’s
Covert DROPS and Pi-:c'romr1. Pow-
_,Dl-IRS have gained for Coughs and other af-
consutription, renders it unnecessary to say,
tiiiicb in recommending them to the public,
The Commodore at first dis -
veotion, and the debates wcre'auimti'tcd and -
as no stronger proof of their possessing un-»
common virzues could be given than will be
louud by reading the certificates accornpatiy—
itrg each bottle, given by those of the first re-
spectabi lily, who have used them in cases of
long standing ;and some ofthem, where their
physicians had given them up as past; rcc'ove‘.__
ry, have been entirely restored by the use of
this rrretlicioe, The fact that they have now
beeti in use six‘ yea rs,and that the demand the
present season has been much‘ greater than at.
any foi’mer period is also a strong argtttti'eiit_
in their favour. Thousands have shortened
their days by neglected Coughs when first at-‘
tacked, which have soon terrriiiiated in a seat-
ed Consumption, and proved fatal. Scarcely
aca_se of Colds, Coughs, Pain intlie side,
rlifiiculty of br'eat‘-hing, want of sleep arisiugi
from debility, or even Consurnptiorrs but may
be relieved by a tiuiely use of this Healiugf
Balsam. Each Dollar Bottle ofthis medicine!
contains about 40 doses, which proves theuz’
.to be a cheap medicine.

letit pain in my breast which terminated in 8
or to days in an ulcer or abcess which dis}
charged a vast quantity of matter attended
with a violent cough and spitting blood,lhii
‘continued until some time in November fol’
lowing. In the°interirn new ulcers gatlicred
and dischmged ; which tetlucedme very fast.-
I made application to the physicians but to
no effect : by the above mentioned time, No’-'.
vcmber, I was reduced to the last stageof
earthly existence, when I heard of‘ Atider-‘
soti’s Cough Drops,’ I accordingly purchased
and made use of them, which soon gave me‘
relief,and‘ after taking them regularly about
