taste which ought TO be discoverable in a
lady's person ought to be seen in her family,
her residence, her furniture, and that, wheth-
er it be ample and rich, or scanty and poor.
There is a degree of these, virtues which
ought to pervade woman's entire sphere,
and without which, society would degener-
ate into the barbarism and violence of the
dark ages. And hence this elevation of char
acter is always one of the effects of Christi
anity upon barbarous nations. 1t is sad mis-
conception that the law of God excludes ev-
cry thing that is refined or ornamental, and
restricts human enjoyments merely to what
is necessary to human substance. Coarse
and depraved indeed, would be that society
in which there is nothing for the ease and
conveniences. So long as mankind have a
social as we'll as a moral nature, the culti-
vation of an elevated and refined spirit III
the female sex, deserves place among her
obvious exceliencies.
