Mr. Phillips watches public affairs a s a moral censor, without any personal or party interest n t stake. Such servlco Is g reatly needed and vory rarely obtained in this Republic, whore nearly all mon of ability aro drawn Into tho political vortex, and in tim es of excite- modt are prone to sell, or give up, more or less of thoir freedom, In order to advance tlio Interests of a party. It may bo said that a man who fights on his own hook can nccompllsh but little; but it Is n o t so, oven with a man of common abilities, If ho utters w ithout fear or favor what lie conscientiously bolioves to bo vital truths. And whon a man of romarkablo natural ondowinonts and high culture devotes himself to such servico, his in fluence is immeasurable. Mr. Phillips lms always beon unpopular, a s a bold, impartial censor m ust necessarily Ids adherents, though e arnest and devoted, have a l ways imon fow; yet ho lms become a mighty power in the land. Tlio tricky, tlio time-serving, and tlio waver ing know th a t his eye is npou them, and tlm t he will never fail to proclaim their misdemeanors and short comings, in words of such scorching eloquence that they cannot hut burn their way into tho public mind, cannot bo bought by offices, for lie asks for n one; and he cannot be silenced with baskets of champagne, or boxes of cigars, for lie drinks cold water and keeps ids mouth clean of the filthy weed. Tho only way to es cape ids criticism is to fulfil their duties to the public in such a m anner th a t they lmvo no reason to fear his searching investigations, his fearless fidelity to princi ples of justice and freedom, and his powerful eloquence, which never fail? to command attention, even from those who like him least. How mucli politicians need a censorship, untramoled by party, no ono can doubt who has observed tho continual proclivity of political par ties toward corruption. Tho passage of the Fifteenth Amendment will givo a legal finish to tlio Anti-Slavery w o rk; but if tho soldiers of Freedom disband and lay U3ide their uniform, they should be careful to turn thoir telescopes very fre quently toward the country of the old enemy, to see and proclaim w h at is g oing on there. In some States, tho adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment may he merely a wily trick of the old slaveholding oligarchy, who havo always shown themselves cunning in keeping the word of promise to the ear, while thoy had the premeditated intention of breaking it to tho hope. Some of the Southern States, especially Virginia and Texas, mani fest as rancorous hatred toward tho doctrine of “ equal ity before the law ,” a s they ever did. Force and Fraud havo always been tlie F. F .’s of the plantation; and thus they will continue to bo till “ plantation manners ” have become obsolete. “ The Ethiopian c annot change his skin,” and the leopard cannot c h ange his teeth and his claw s; and he has so long beon accustomed to fasten teetli and claws upon the prostrate Ethiopian, th a t it will take years to overcome the habit. The Fifteenth Amendment may be nominally ratified, as a mere stroke of policy, a nd yet bo so evaded, by some contrivance, that the colored p opulation will in reality havo no civil rights allowed them. No trick of this sort would be su prising on the p a rt of Virginians. They h ave formed Legislature in open defiance of the laws of the United States, and they now manifest their g ratitude for having done it with impunity by paying Gen. G rant the doubt ful compliment of praising his administration, thougli they havo scornfully trodden undor foot the law requiring th a t no mau shall bo olected to office till he has taken the test-oath o f loyalty to the U n ion; though they always have manifested, nnd still continue to mani fest unmitigated hatred of tho test-oath; yot it would be very much in keeping with thoir former doings if they should accept the F ifteenth Amendment a s the necessary means of getting back into the Union, and having ac complished tlieir object, should then say: “ The Legis lature which ratified that Amendment w as composed of members who had not taken the test-oath, and who could not have takou i t w ithout perjury; therefore, it was an unconstitutional Legislature, and all its doings are consequently null and void.” Tho experience of many years shows the necessity of distrusting the professions of Southerners, and of watch ing their policy very closely; not because they are worse than other mon would bo under sim ilar circum stances, but simply b ecause tlio effects of a system so despotic and so falso aa Slavery c annot bo wiped away by legal enactments from the souls of a generation that havo grown up under its malign influence.

It Is assumed that m arriage *is -the natural destiny of young women; yet even theFhnowledge Indis pensable lo a prudent a nd hopeful m a rriage, the a r t of conducting or Intelligently superintending domestic economy, is learned by but few; ond this obvious inca pacity is one of the reasons which deter young men from marriage. Those whom they would naturally choose aa wives are either intellectually unsuited to impanlonshlp with them, or incompetent to take charge a family, or both. There was need, Dr. Batchelder said, for intelligent and judicious provision for tho necessities of young wo men, not less than for those of young men. The form er needed to think os well aa to learn, and to have due pro vision for the cultivation of the social element, not Ie38 than the latter. .Much labor and time and money were expended for tlie latter by the Young Men’s Christian Association, and sho wished to have something d one for the former class, a class equally im portant in the struc ture of society. But Hie necessities of the case m ust be recognized beforo any efficient a ction could be taken. The lecture being finished, there was some discussion of the.thoughts suggestod. Hon. Josiah Quincy expressed his approval of the ideas of Dr. Batchelder. Many years ago, when he was Mayor of the city, he had taken great satisfaction in tho abolition of the medal system aa far as the girl’s schools were concerned, and lie thought that system should be abolished in a ll tho schools, because he believed it Injurious to tbe pupils both morally and intel lectually. Mr. Emerson also, tbe President, spoke in favor of tbe suggestions made by the lecturer. He hoped, however, that any association that might be formed for tho benefit of girls and young women would avoid the narrow, un just and unreasonable policy of the managers of the Young Men’s Christian Association. lie was genuinely interested in the efforts of all young people for self-im provement, and would be glad to cooperate in them, and give his experience and knowledge a s well a s his money in aid of them. But the managers of the Y. M. C. A. would not allow or accept his cooperation. They had voted that be was n o t a Christian, and therefore th a t he should not join them in labors to increase the public wel fare through the improvement of the yonng men of the city. Others joined in the discussion of the general subject, and it was said that the Women's Club of tbis city b ad in hand a plan to provide rooms where young women could meet in tlie evening for recreation and instruction, and that a large number of ladies had agreed to take, in turn, tlie care of supervising this arrangement. Before ad journment, it was agreed that measures should b e taken to bave this fine discourse repeated before a larger au dience.

NO. CCLVI. Boston, December 19th, 1869. M rs . D r . B a tc h e ld e r has for soveral years boon a zoulous a nd e arnest laborer hero in behalf of improved methods of education for tho children of the poorer classes. L a s t evening a meeting of the Boston Social Science Association was called in Chickering's lloll, to hoar from hor a lecture on “ Tlio Neglected Industrial Element in the Boston Schools.” A coutinuauco of tlie rain which had poured all day made tho audience a small ono; but thoso wlio did attend were woll repaid by the lecture and the interesting debate that followed. As a spocimoti of tlio improved methods desired, and for three years practised in her own school by Dr. Batchelder, I may mention that, in the department of needle-work, she teaches little girls not merely to sew, but to c u t o u t aud fit tho simple g a rm e n ts they mako. The meeting was opened by tin: reading of a paper by Mr. Goorgo B. Emerson, tho President, ou tho false principlo of omulation cultivated by the prlze-medal system in our schools; after which ho Introduced Hie lecturer to tlio audionco. Dr. Batcholder said that, sinco our Republic cousid- orod tho peoplo as tho State, tlie right education of tlmt peoplo was of tho highest importance, for national os woll a s individual welfare. The founders of our system made largo provision for tlio instruction of children, but thoir arrangem e n ts wero too exclusively for tho commu nication of facts, and failed to c u ltivate tho equally Im po r tant power of thinking. Our school methods make little a ttem p t to associate thinking with know ing; nnd tlio industrial olomont is left entirely uncultivated. Thoro is especially need that useful activity with tho bauds should be developed in school-glrls, since the self- supporting occupations of womon nro far fewer than thoso of mon. Tho skilled labor of women is always in demand, but it oxists in vory insufficient quantity, while tlio niarkot is flooded witli unskilled labor. To supply tills deficiency, tbe system of early instruction should bo muterlQlly modified. Dr. Batchelder pointed out how the habit of looking on more book-knowledgo ns education tonds lo mislead nnd demoralize the child. Tho p resent style of school Instruction loads the pupils to regard knowing tlio spe cified objects of instruction as the only business of their school life, aud the memory is cultivated, with littlo a t tem pt a t developing the powor of thought. Tlio ouly sq^jgfepf their application, have notliing to do with the question, and m u st be ruled out of the discussion for ir relevancy. I make the a ttem p t to show this n o t merely in the in terest of woman suffrage, but of the Bible aa well. The enemy of all good could not do a greater service to the cause o f evil than by leading Christian men blindly to interpose the Bible a3 a barrier against every great social reform, so that when the reform triumphs, it shall seem to the unreflecting mass of men to be, not merely tlie defeat of the opposers of the reform, but the over throw of tlie Bilile also. This book is too precious, and a recognition of its a uthority too im portant to the world, for its friends and the friends of truth to expose it so un necessarily to discredit. The Bible can be put to a better use, it caunot be put to a worse, than to be thrown into the street to help form a barricade against every attem p t to overthrow old dynasties of wrong.\ The ideas of this last paragraph have also an impor tant bearing, it seems to me, upon the now pending question o f the Bible in the schools. Long ago, when I also thoroughly believed in the in fallible inspiration of the Bible. I came to the conclu sion that the formal daily reading of that book in schools is undesirable, being injurious iu its tendency. If the children read it in turn, thoy make blunders, often of ludicrous character, which a re sure to fasten themselves upon the impressible youthful mind, and to be better re membered than any o ther part of the exercise. If the teacher reads it, i t is to the pupils in tho great majority of cases a mere formality, and its associations will be far more with feelings o f weariness and restraint, than with tho useful lessons of either Testament. Now, however, when tho question is whether the im mense benefits of onr common school system shall be re tained for the children of Catholics a s well a s of Protes tants, nnd whether we shall insist ou a m a tter of detail which, undesirable oven on its own merits, affords the ground ou which priests can mako a plausible plea of tho attem p t of a Protestant nation to interfere with their religion—now, when the agreement of the community in common school education is a t stake, the case is clear. There a re other provisions for religious instruction. Let Catholics and Protestants arrange, as each may choose,\ for the administration of this elsewhere, aud let the pub lic school lie, as it should be, common ground where botli can meet freely.
