AS has been observed before, except in the matter of dress, ^ remarkablj flree flpom those ultra notions which prevail so extena^ in France. At present. Miss Weber is engaged in preparing a b( on "Agriculture as an Employment for Women."

We have given the foregoing sketch as communicated by ah who visited and admired Miss Weber ; nor do we doabt her clsi to admiration. She has a good degree of prudence united w talents of a brilliant order ; but we do question the utiiity of I theories and the truth of her reasoning. That she seems to adiH to the Christian religion, and expresses her belief in the Bible, mat what is repugnant to the spirit of its holy doctrines more mi chievous than would be her avowed infidelity ; therefore we cann send forth the record of her opinions and doings without a fc words of warning to our young countrywomen.

One of Miss Weber's strongest arguments in favour of male co tume is, that nature has made sufficient differences in the persoc appearance of the sexes ; therefore they should dress alike. Bm this true philosophy? If nature has made differences, ought c( art to follow the intimation of nature or Providence, and make ifc mode of dress appropriate to these differences?

But more fallacious are her ideas respecting employments. 1 women devote themselves to agriculture, who shall manage th household and train the children? Miss Weber has inherited i fortune. She does not labour with her hands, nor does she empluj female labourers to any extent. If women earn their own suppon men will have more time and money to spend on their own sclM gratifications. It is the necessity of doing what the Apostle cont mands every Christian man to do — "provide for his own householii' — which keeps many A'om sin and ruin. This doctrine, which u inciting women to compete with men in industrial arts, and become independent of the care and protection of the stronger sex, is mos dangerous in its influence, and would, if it were acted out, (which it will never be,) destroy all hope of Christian progress.

Born 1773, at Coblenz, was the daughter of the play-actor, GrQn- berg. Before she was twelve years old, she became, encouraged by her step-father, Teichman, the director of a little troup, the members of which were her brothers and sisters, and cousins, and with it she performed, at a private theatre, a number of piece expressly written for children. In 1787, an engagement was offered to her at the Munich theatre ; in 1789, she exchanged this for one that was offered to her by her step- brother, the director of the theatre at Baden; in 1790, she was called to the Imperial Coiut Theatre, at Vienna. Here she married, in 1791, Von Weisserthnm. Shortly after her marriage, she published a few plays, which were so well received, that, encouraged by it, she continued to wriie for the stage, and became quite a prolific author. In 1817, she lost her husband; and in 1841, she withdrew from the stage, and died m 1845.
