COMMENDED FOR DOING RIGHT.
By S. W. H.
Not long since, in the village of M., a series of lectures were given on the subject of physiology; and, at the close, one especially for the benefit of females. Mrs. H. felt somewhat delicate about displaying her reform dress among the fashionables; but reason got the better of pride, and she wore it. How many minds were turned from the subject of the lecture to the short dress is unknown; but it did not escape the eyes of the doctor; for he took occasion to remark to the audience that he was glad to find one among them that dared, despite of fashion, to wear a sensible dress. Mrs. H. felt richly rewarded for the sacrifice she had made, and who would not? Do what is right; for the day dawn is breaking,
Hailing a future of freedom and light.
Angels above us are silent notes taking,
Let this be our motto then, Do what is right.
