The False Education Of Our Daughters

The Knglish nobleman wlio sends to Paris for bis daughter's dresses, is reasonably eortain that he, and bis son-in-law, can continue sending, and tbat in tbe training of his cbild he is fostcring no habit which can not be rightfully indulged in. The American knows, if he knows anything, that the habits of luxury in which his child is reared unfit her for the duties of the lifo to which she will in all likelihood be called ; that he caiinot hopo that his family wealth can long survive him, any moro than that his daughter will lovo a man to whom that wealth will bo unimportant. Experionce and obsorvation alike teil him that wealth, in this country, rarely continuos in a family three generations and that at any time he may find himsolf a poor man again. Yet he regulatcs his life and that of his childron as if hfs wealth and theirs were assured forever, and as though his habits of a life timo were to be broken like wisps of straw. His daughters are not fit to niarry any but the riuh men thoy experience so muoh difficulty in finding, and a man moderate meaus is careful to avoid asking moderate means is careful to avoid asking them to chango their habits of life. Thore are fow sadder pictures'han the one we seo when such a woman of braver heart than most of her sex chooses the portion of a poor man's love and vainly seeks to adapt herself to a lifn of wliich she has hitherto known nothing. The habits of her girlhood bind her liko strong fetters, herignonmee of domestic duties weighs lier to the very earth, the loss of social position or the fevered efforts she makes to support it wear out her lifè in bitter repinings, until her health gives way and sho. dies, loaving her faults to vex the world in her nbildren, and virtues undiscovered save by her husband, wlio hides from hiiuself all else of her incmory. - JApinucoU's Magazine.
