dress. How si-ldoin is that the case amongst the 

 flatterers of the age ! I wish wc could say 

 amongst them only. For young ladies of more 

 sobriety to be found so ofieu slovenly, I might 

 have said downright squalid and nasty, when no 

 visitors ore expected, is most particularly shame- 

 ful. 



Were a young woman now-a-days, from a pe- 

 culiar sense of the sacrcdncss and refinement of 

 female virtue, to appear with any very singular se- 

 verity in ln:r dress, she would hardly, I four, es- 

 cape the charge of afl'ectation ; o charge which 

 every prudent woman will avoid as much as pos- 

 sible. 



But let the license of the age be what it will, I 

 must neeils think that, according to every rule of 

 duty and decorum, there ought ever to be a mani- 

 fest dilTerence bulwecn the attire of a virtuous 

 woman and that of one who has renounced every 

 title to that honorable name. It were indehcatc, 

 it is unnecessary to explain this diflerence. In 

 some respects it is sufficiently discerned by the 

 eye of the public, though I am sorry to say not 

 sufficiently attended to by the generality of women 



themselves. If in other respects it be not seen or I colunin comprises, at least, as much as five nic 

 do not strike, the cause I apprehend must be that erate pages of a volume. Here you have eigl 

 declension from tlie strictness of morals, which pages per week, and 4160 i)er year, sufficient

 There's some music too, in the bargain. The fir

 then, perhaps, a young amateur seizes the lyr 

 out of fun, or mere obstinate self conceit, an 

 gives a few twangs, like the sound of inin dro|

 vanity is amusing ; and he may possibly iinprov

purest state of ancient manners, when women of 

 a certain description were compelled to wear a 

 particular garb, by which they were distinguished 

 from women of virtue. — Fordyce. 



Dress — I freely acknowledge that I lovo to see 

 a woman genteelly habited, if her situation admit 

 of it ; Iwit splendor without gentility, as well in 

 this as in every other arlido where ornament is 

 conccriii'd, will ever seem poor and insipid to all 

 but untaught and vulgar spirits ! whereas on the 

 other side it is certain, that the latter may very 

 well subsi.st without the former ; nor is its eflect 

 ever felt more strongly or more happily, than 

 when it receives no assistance from the other, but 

 results solely from our perceptions of elegant sim- 

 plicity, an object which appears to me deserving 

 of more attention than is commonly paid to it. 



In the article of dress young women should let 

 their judgment be seen, by joining frugality and 

 simplicity together, in being never fond of finiTy, 

 in ciircfnlly diitinguishing between what is glaring 

 and what is genteel, in ]irescrving elegance with 

 the plainest liiibil, in wearing cosily array but sel- 

 dom, and always with ea.se ; a point that may be 

 atlainrd by her, who ha.s learned not to tliink 

 more highly of herself for lUr. richest raiment she 

 can put on. He assured it is thus you will cap- 

 livnti- most and please longest. By pursuing this 

 plan you will prrwcrve an eijuality in that groat 

 indispensable article of neatness. You will be 

 clean, and you will be easy ; nor will you be in 

 daiiL'cr of appenring bullerdies one day, and slat- 

 terns till- next. Vein will be always ready to re- 

 ceive your friends without .seeming to be caught, 

 or being at all disconcerted on account of your 



A mechanic once located himself in a village 

 where his neighbors (as is usually the case in vil- 

 lages) were tormented with hens : — in a tew days 

 he was waited upon and informed that unless he 

 shut up his hens they would be killed ! In the 

 kindest manner imaginable he replied, "all I have 

 to Say to your message is, that, vvhen you kill one 

 of my hens you would bring it to nic that I may 

 cook it." — The next day a hen was brought, which 

 was received by the family and served up for din- 

 ner. The same process was gone through with 

 day after day, for several weeks, when il was ac- 

 cidentally discovered that the mechanic aforesaid 

 did not then, or ever before own any such animals. 

 Upon being rcnionstintcd with by the man who 

 killed them, for thus eating up the property of 

 others, he drily replied, " you said they were mine, 

 sir, and I make it a point never to contradict a 

 stranger !" — Jlmerican Advocate. 



No two things diffi;r much more than hurrv 

 and despatch. Hurry is the mark of a weak 

 mind, despatch of a strong one. A weak man 

 in office, like a S(niirrcl in a cage, is laboring eter- 

 nally, but to no purpcsc, and in constant motion, 

 without getting on a jot ; like a turnstile, he is in 

 every body's way, but stops nobody ; he talks a 

 great deal, but says very little ; looks into cverv- 

 ihing, but sees into nothing ; and has a himdred 

 irons in the fire, but very lew of them are hot, 

 and with those few that are, he openly burns his 

 lingers. 



JVewspaper Readiiifr. — Wlio woiilil not take a 

 newspaper ? Why il is worth more than all the 

 travelling from Cape Cod to the Slony Mountains, 

 and from the Lake of the Woods to Terra del 

 Fiiego. .Seateil in your old fashioned arm chair, 

 you can look out upon the world as a mirror, and 

 observe the busy scene, passing in every changing 

 review before your mind's eye. A newspaper, 



ttle library, and all for a mere trifle of two d 

 lars. And then, only think of the vast fund 

 entertainment which you and your family deri 

 from it, how it adds to your consequence amo 

 your neighbors. Friend A. is a very intclligi 

 man, (they will say,) and his children are all cli 

 of the old block ; who knows but some of th< 

 may be fit to send to Congress at some time 

 other ? Think of this once, and who would i 

 take a paper, which costs no more than one pa| 

 of tobacco, or a glass of grog per week ? — A 

 Brunsufick THmes.
