If so they can, you into their belief,—

So draw the curtain! Hold! when I am off,

DIALOGUE SPOKEN DURING TABLEAU NO. III.

The Bloomer. We women are the boys! (To the boy holding baby.) Husband, take care of that child, or I'll show you that one of the "Rights" of my sex is to handle a broomstick for the correction of fractious husbands.

Justice, Purity, Beauty, Plenty, Liberty.

PROLOGUE TO TABLEAU NO. IV.

Believing that the great object of education is to invest us with a love of the traits personified in the characters we are about to present to you, let me, for your assistance in understanding their excellencies, as I am delegated for that purpose, make a few remarks.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever," wrote the poet. There is no less of truth than poetry in the sentence; for whatever presents to the mind an image calculated to act upon, to arouse its finer impulses, must aid in strengthening and refining them.

We are easily impelled to admire, when the object preBented is one upon which the eye is enabled to dwell with pleasure; and though but indicated when personified, who who does not feel that Purity should be loved, Beauty ad mired, and Liberty and Justice worshipped!

The traits which distinguish him who, honoring Liberty, will defend her cause; being a votary of Justice, will see that her scales are ever equally poised; a lover of Purity, that her maxims are extended, studied, and followed; an admirer of Beauty, that no plague spot be allowed to mar the exquisiteness of her fair exterior, are such as inake the honesthearted, free-thoughted man, whom all should be delighted to honor.

To some has been given an intuitive longing for the reign of Right. The Maker of all things has blessed the fair portion of his creation, to whom 'tis given

"To soothe our griefs, our woes allay,"

with so exquisite an appreciation of all that refines, that only by the long continuance of debasing influences, can they be brought to forget how high was their intended destiny, how lovable the surroundings, amongst which they were created to exist. Be it theirs, then, to remember that, as all most worthy of admiration has been personified in the female form, the world has been taught to look upon them as the possessors and lovers of the most amiable qualities. May their reputation, as such, continue for aye! and the sisters, wives, and mothers of our land, be ever adored for their purity, venerated for their love of justice and liberty, honored for their wisdom, and loved for their beauty;-and let their brothers, husbands, and sons, remember that where Justice and Liberty are recognized as worthy worship, there will Plenty and Purity be found: there will bloom the domain of Beauty.
