Female Influence.
Besides the undoubted general in
fluence of a gentle character naturally
I exerted by the tender over the rough
er sex, there is a special ascendancy
gained by some superior minds, which
may pr may not be beneficent, accord
ing to the genius, principles and char
acter of the individual. From the na
tural vanity of the sex, great intellect
ual power becomes dangerous, as not
being under sufficient training and reg
ulation. Ordinarily, women are not
expected to step out of that domestic
sphere in which they are most fitted to
shine, but sometimes they are tormen
; ted with another sort ot ambition
! such as to become authors or reform
; ers. As such they are almost sure to
, adopt a tone of exaggeration and fic
tional representation, because in them
the faculty of the imagination is so
much more strongly developed than
that of the judgment. We kndw"tit
why that misnomer "strong minded"
women has become so popular, un
less indeed it be used as ironical ; but
we regret to see such terms used, even
in jest, towards that sex. for whose
dignity and delicacy we should" ever
hold them in respectful regard. There
have, in reality been strong-minded
women in this age, which threatens
now. to be so weak and fussy, so full
of pretensions and so barren of results.
Among these we would name Hannah
Moore, whose-nigh character and ex
i ri n . ,i
ample are in danger of being forgotten
amid the ambitious reformers of these
times. Of the state of religious' know
ledge, even among the. higher classes,
in the days of Hannah Moote, some
idea may be formed from this fact:
When Sir Joshua Reynolds had finish-
i ed his celebrated painting, 'Samuel,'
I numerous visitors flocked to his studio
j to see it, and among them several pro
j posed the question, 'Who was Samu
i el ?' The manners and morality of the
. 1 period were said to he in keeping with
j such discreditable ignorance. In short,
it was the fas non to be irreligious and
immoral. Then arose this excellent
lady, not so much to denounce as to
instruct. She called no public conven
tions to reform the manners of the age,
but modestly grasped the weapons of
truth, and skillfully used them for her
great object. Taken at a young age
from lie quiet coteries of Bristol, and
. j 5 . .1 1 , -c T

don society, she was caressed, by the
witty, the great, and the learned, but
her j.een gense of r; jt an(j propriety
ijtoA VU t L wnvld
the mendmcr of people s hearts, she
sought the augmentation of their hap
piness, and her efforts were crowned
with distinguished success. There was
no decree of lowliness in the condition
of humanity to which she would not
patiently stoop for the sake of instruct
ing the ignorant and elevating the
degraded. She did not deal in ficti
tious pictures.of woe, nor inflict on the
public any history of private, mental
or doctrinal aberrations, but address
ed herself directly to the 'business and
bosoms of men. What we want a
monp: our American women who would
aim at the publicity or really: seek to
do goodj is a more finely balanced
character. Not only should the intel
lectual and imaginative be better pro
portioned, but the efforts of the mind
should be directed in another channel
of real philanthropy. Our revolution
ary women were true heroines, not in
deed on the bloody battle fields, nor
in high council, but amid the sancti
ties and calamities of home," its solitude
and frequent destitution. . They gird
ed their husbands and brothers for the
arena, and sent them many a token of
encouragement in their long and wear
isome absences from hearthstones they
loved. If the women of our country
would rise in the meekness and majes
ty "of their nature, and resolve that
thU Union shall be perpetual, the cer
tainty of what we Tegard as a great
probability would at once be sealed
and ratified, to the joy of all our
friends and the disappointment of our

The Land of Ruins. .... :

It is not that the particular ruins are
