the females. Either mothers or
daughters must resort to some
thing else by which to contribute
a share in the support of the fam
ilv. 1t is too commonly the case
that the daughters resort to some
occupation that is not sufficient
y active and Inyigorating. The
needle is taxing the bloom from
many OF their cheeks and vigor
from their frames. The evil is
augmented by that mode of dress
(E ought to use a harsher tdrm)
which obstructs the natural aud
healthy developments of lungs
and chests; also by avoiding ex-
posure to the weather; and too
effeminate reliance upon the
horse for services for which hca-
ven intended should be rendered
by their own limbs! The lamen-
table consequences will not be
confined to them, Nchildren will
inherit the feeblen1ss of their
mothers, and a sickIy race will
come after us.

daughters daily and thorough
training in the cares and labor Of
the dairy and all household af-
fairs. It were WeII-well for
them and a future race, that they
should revive he acquaintances
which their mothers had with the
milking stool, the garden, and to
some extent the ficld-for then

through all their veins, they
would acquire vigor Of body and
