Isn ’t it time defi nitely to admit that a woman has a ligh t to study that which she wishes to study, the honest wish being ac cepted as evidence of the propriety of the pursuit? Yet is there no end of cheap dialectics upon this point. Here we have, iu fifty journals, com plaints of the severe course of study pursued at the l ’acker Institue ( r at Rutger’s School, at Yassar or other colleges for girls—of toojmuch Latin and Greek, or of too much attention to philosophy aud sciences. On tl|e other hand, if a girl gives her golden youth to the delicacies and elegancies of acquisition— to music, drawing, dancing, the modern lan guages— she is denounced us frivo lous, or laughed at as light-headed. So she hesitates whether to be a Muse o ra Grace, and frequently the doubt disastrously results in her being neither. Another trouble of the young ladies is that they can never clothe themselves to suit all sorts of philosophers. I f they neglect dress they arc dowdy. I f they make an elaborate and brilliant toilet, studied to conform to their own personal style, and they are too fond of display; so that between old- fashioned notions of what becomes a young woman and and new-fashioned notions of what does not become her, they arc left at a loss whether to he strong-minded or frivolous, forget ting sometimes that they need only to be earnest and honest and natural. A good knowledge of the Greek and Latin literature may be valuable to a woman just as to a man; this we say without stopping to fix its pre cise value to either. One would think from the pother made about them that learned ladies were abso lute novelties, whereas they have been common enough ever since the revival of learning. There are a few stock students of the feminine kind, celebrated as immensely classical in their pursuits; and are not these al ways paraded in tho Commencement speeches at ladies’ Colleges? The list, even iu English history, is a long one, from Queen Catharine of Aragon to Mrs. Browning— from Margaret Roper, Sir Thomas More’s daughter, down to the sweet girl- graduates of the present season. Have’nt w’c been told often enough that poor Lady Jane Grey was well versed in Latin, Greek, Hebrew’ , Chaldee, Arabic, French, and Ita l ian? Indeed, these English ladies of Classical acquirements were very numerous in the sixteenth century, even before Queen Elizabeth set the fashion which, perhaps she did not so much set as follow. Damsels who wish to read Homer or Horace in the original need not lack for a prec edent. Only when a girl 1ms gone resolutely to work, and has proved the ability of her sex to acquire Greek, it must be rather discourag ing to her to read in the newspapers that she has wasted her time and has been crammed to little purpose. AVby do they not say these things about pale-faced boys who have fed themselves upon Greek roots into a dyspepsia? W e are for all manner of experiments. After such a pother, we trust that all these problems are not to left unsolted and uncer The Creed A'JinUer mine in Colo ing; which has a literature with an the face <>f all about him, and from tain. rado was recently sold to a Holland alphabet, and a language without tht-nee rebounding upon himself.— Soutc. grammar.
