been presented by the Officers of aur Navy,\u2018 and by Catholics of the Eastern world.\u2014 it has also many rich speciments of art\u2014 the contributions of wealthy and powerful cling; exéept the drudgery, At the end of MONTREAL, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 16, 1829 every week by rotation, and placed in the parlour kitchen, where, under the instruction of one of the sisterhood, they perform all the:operations of houscwifery, for the week.- They make the bread and buke it \u2014the - puddings, tarts; pies, cakes, &c.hey roast the beef and fowls, and in short, perforin the whole Jabour of house-keep- a vast deal more consequence, for though a gentleman may salisfy his own conscience by bowing to a judy after he has passed her and had time to recollect who she is, 1 have generally observed that ladies prefer being cye witnesses to all such civilities shown them by the other sex.\u2014I have frequently © passed tnheeding by\u201d a, lady of my acquaintance, who had \u201caltered her rig\u201d since I'last had the felicity of sec- ing her, and whom, of course, it was impossible to recognize in her new dress, except after a more strict and persevering stare than [| am impudent or fashionable enough to inflict, Walking out on one of the few fine days that we have had this season, I saw.at a little distance, what I supposed to be two quarter casks painted lead colour, a supposition in which 1 was confirmed by their being \u201clocated\u201d near a grocer'sshop door.I was aghast however on passing them, to hear two silvery, musical voices, of a mast dulcet treble, bidding me good morning.So fur from being ** fixtures\u201d to contain \u2018 blue ruin,\u201d they were two lively young ladies with whom I was intimately acquainted, and who were dressed in slate coloured French cloaks, which being stuffed and padded, hung without fold or wrinkle about the fair wearers, and being slightly inflated by a gentle breeze, gave thew the rum puncheon appearance above alluded to.But it is the bonnet that makes the woman, or rather that disguises her so often and so efiectually.Well might Horace say \u2018ithe.week they return to \u2018their study, and two others take their places.This is as it should be.Domestic education is almost wholly overlooked with us.Young ladies are trained up as if to charm and !please and grace the drawing room were tobe the sole business of their lives.\u2014 \u2018They are taught to sing, dance, to play the pling and guitar, to read bad French and write worse English, to trifle gracefully, (all of which I acknowledge 1 like vey well, if backed by solid attainments,) now and then one, to think profoundly: but not one in ten, on arrving at a reper age for taking charge of a family mows how to make u pudding or a pie shit would be eatable, unless she were to make it \u201c by book,\u201d The Chapel in this convent will not vie inwealth with those of the older Convents in Catholic countries.Its architecture and furfiture are not splendid, It is supplied, of course, with the usual furniture of va.scy altars, candlesticke, images, statucs, and pictures.Every thing is ordered for efect.The imposing forms of worship, heghtened by the numerous visible objects of sacred or superstitious regard, are well suited to captivate the imaginations of young and giddy school girls.Oftheir Seminary, their plan, their broad, rigid and thorough system of education, Think well ; but at the same time, I can- caanot think it safe or at all consistent for true protestants.to send their daughters \u2018there\u2014as many do.| -The number of nuns in this Convent at \u201c Quis desiderio sit pudor, aut 76 fus Twin cari capitis.\u201d What bounds are there to a fine lady's taste or to the modes in which she adorns her dear head, (dear to our heart, but dearer\u201d &c.)
