 from ht^r still and quiet retreat, fiom her commu 

 nion with the innocent spirits of her nursery, from 



husband in nothing. In all things, she i.< citlicr 

 his superii>r or inferior. In physical Etrciyilh, in- 

 ferior ; in symmetry and beauty, superior. In in- 

 tellect, she has more imagiiintiun, vivacity, and 

 brilliancy ; less power of reasoning and acutcness | ^^^j. closet of prayer, which opens to heaven, let her 



in argiiuioiit. In moral sensibility she is greatly 

 the superior; in power of persuasion, if not argu- j 

 meni, she holds a controling influence. Slie can 

 most readily find the way to the heart and easily 

 subdues it. But when she leaves the moral and 

 gcnile means of exercising control, and assumes 

 to command, she must always ex|»e«l to find a mas- 

 ter. By courtesy, every thing she asks will bo 

 granted, her wants will be anticipated. But when 

 ■he as.-;uines to be a man, or to lake the place of 

 a man, she transcends her sphere, ami resembles a 

 star thrown from its orbit, its laws of motion sub- 

 verted, and its position doubtful.. Let her, in the 

 retired position assigned her by the Gospel; be sat- 

 isfied with her legitimate nnd proper influence, and 

 Bhe may appear the superior in everything praise- 

 worthy, without exciting jealousy, and without dis- 

 pute. 



"The man is the head of the woman," nnd she 

 is required to be "in subjection to her husband," 

 and ytt she rules him. " Submission" is unques- 

 lionahly her duly, where he chooses to command, 

 and he has power to enforce it. Yet from her very 

 weakness, from her purity and tenderness, from her 

 great freedom from the causes of irritation, he 

 learns to respect her decisions in morals and reli- 

 gion, and his conscience comes in aid of the in- 

 fluence she seeks to exert over him. He rules as 

 her natural lord ; she influences him ng an angel 

 of light and love. He may, in the pride of his 

 heart, hate the Gospel, and despise the cause of 

 the poor, but ho will go to church with her, and 

 freely put his hand in liis pocket to supply her 

 charities. 



She is the weaker vessel, and yet she ie strong- 

 est. He may rage in giant strenglh, against the 

 objects of his hatred, and yet let her interpose, 

 and she holds his arm nerveless, like the arm of a 

 child. While she is gentle, kind, aficctioiiale, de- 

 voted, true, the mother of his children and their 

 guardian angel, she holds him by a silken cord, 

 which is stronger than a cable, stronger than the 

 chains of the slave, because it entwines his heart, 

 it binds the aflcctions, which are the seat and mo- 

 tive power of the will. While, therefore, in the 

 pride of his power, lie opposes force by force, 

 toward her he is all kindness and condescention. 

 But let her assume the tone of a dictator, and of 

 masculine command ; let her prate of " woman's 

 rights," and write a code of laws to define them 

 anywhere Imt in the heart, the common law of the 

 Boul, and she appears shorn of her locks, which 

 ■re "her ornaments;" she abjures her woman- 

 hood, she hag cut out her breast to rest the javelin 

 there, she afiects the man, and must contend with 

 men. 



No — the proper sphere of woman is home. Her 

 great otlice in the social system is to make that 

 home a happy one to her husband, that his affec- 

 tions may centre there — that he may have no temp- 



meet him like a ministering angel, and he will lie 

 at her feet lilse a tamed lion ; he will imbibe from 

 hor something of her own spirit, and his spirit will 

 be chastened under such a ministry. 



Here lies the great strength of the wife : here 

 is her high, honorable and honored sphere of ac- 

 tion — where men are made, moulded, controlled — 

 not whero they contend, and cherish the angry 

 passions. Does she seek for honor ? It lies in 

 the honor she renders to her husband, "calling 

 him lord ;" in her children, educated, and led to 

 paths of usefulness and heaven ; in the domestic 

 arrangenieiils, the admiration of all. Docs she 

 seek for happiness ? Where can she find it but in 

 a peaceful home? The wife was appointed to 

 make a home for man, to form a centre for his af- 

 fections, and bind tliein llicro ; to act constantly as 

 oil upon the troubled waters of life. 



I lately saw a scene for a painter, exemplifying 

 most clearly the position of the wife. Two men 

 had become violently enraged, and sought each 

 other with deadly weapons. I trembled for the 

 issue. But as they came near, their arms fell pow. 

 erless, and their voices of anger softened. I press- 

 ed through the crowu, and saw a female figure, 

 like the presence-angel, standing between them. 

 She was the wife of tlic one and the sister of the 

 other, ijhe spake nut — but she had power. She 

 led her husband home, and in the morning he went 

 with a brother's heart and sought a reconciliaton.
