MECHANICS WIvEs.-Speaking Of the mid
de ranks of life, a good writer observes: There
we behold woman in her glory; not doll to
carry silks and jewels; not poppet to be
fiattered by profane alteration; reverenced to-
day, discarded tomorrow; always jostled out
of the place which nature and society would
assign her, by sensuality or contempt; admired,
but not respected; desired, but not esteemed; /;
ruling by passion, not affection; imparting her
weakness, not her constancy, to the sex she
could exalt; the source and mirror of vanity; /;
we see her wife, partaking the cares and
cheering the anxiety of husband, dividing
his tolls by her domestic diligence, spreading
cheerfulness around her; for his sake sharing
the decent reinements of the world, without
being vain of them, placing all her JOY and
happiness in the man she loves. AS mother,
we find her the affectionale, the ardent in
structress of the children whom she has tended
from their infancy; training them up tothought
and benevolence: addressing them as rational
beings, preparing them to become men and
women in their turn. Mechanics daughters
make the best wives in the world.
