The she a pile of ribband, straw, and lea ther ; Her back a pillion all above and on it? A church bell ? cradle ? lower ??No, faith, a bonnet! Aye, and an actual woman in it?-able, House but her tongue, to make that tower a babel. . Now for the he the fellow nondescript? Whence has that mockery of man been shipt ? Have Ross or Buchan brought him to con? sole The quidnunc for the passage to the pole? While on her iceberg, howls some Green land squ >w, Robbed of her pretty monster till next thaw ; No ; Paris has the honor, 44 Ah que ouit% " Voila"?the air, grace, shrug?smell of Paris ! France .gave his step its trip, his tongue its phrase, His head its peruke, pnd his waist its stays! The thin^ is conircband. Let's crush the trade ; Ladies, insist on'i?all is best home made. AU Mrittsi?, fiom your shoe-lyc to your fan, Down iu that necessary brute-?calPd man! Now for the compound creature?first the wig, With every frizzle striving to look big ; On the rough'd check the fresh dyed whis ker spread, The thousandth way of dressing a calf' head. ? The neckcloth next, where starch and whalebone vie To make the slave a walking pillory. The bolster'd bosom, ah ! ye envying fair, How little dream you of the stuff that's there 1 What traps, ropes, steel, the aching rib^ compress, To make the Dandy beautifully less ! Thus, fools, their final stake of folly casi, By instinct, to straight waistcoats come at last. Misjudging Snak^peare?thisescap'd thint eye? For tho* the brains arc out?the thing won't die ! Short account of the Harmonists, A PECULIAR PEOPLE The Dutch society formed by Frederick Rap, a minister of the ftospel, settled some years ago in the y/wtern part of Pennsylvania, made extensive improvements on lands - they purchased at a reduced price, built a town with a number of good brick houses, which they callled Harmony. They also plant ed a viney.ird, made *ine, &c. es tablished almost all kinds of mechan ism, and cultivated the lands very extensively, as their society increas ed. Many of their Dutch friends joined them in a few years^ and placed all their property in the hand* of Frederick Rap, their spiritna teacher and protector. They wil lingly submitted to his governraen and laws, which they delighted in. All of their property, like that of the Shakers, was one common stock, to feed the hungry and clothe the naked of such as joined them in a destitute situation Their discipline was strict, prohibiting them from keeping bad company, drinking ar dent spirits, or marrying, all of which they considered sinful. Their society l>ecoming large, and the climate not suiting for vineyards, they made extensive purchases of land on the Wabash, in the State of Indiana, where they are making ra I?id improvements. They have late y sold property in the western part of Pennsylvania, to the amount of one hundred thousainl dollar*, ex clusively of which it is said they have upwards of two millions of dollars in gold and silver and they hat"?" purchased upwards of one hundred thousand acr^s of lain! on the Wabash, at two dollars per acre, which, from their industry and neat ness of improvements, will no doubt in a few years be worth from twenty to fifty dollars j>er acre. Their town is callled NEW-HARMONY.? The climate is well suited to the vineyards, and they will doubtless sifc>n be able to supply that country with the best of wines, malt liquor, &c. All kinds of mechanical busi ness w ill be earned on as before.? This will , greatly improve that part of the State, and of course render the adjoining lands more valua ble. Pe s >ns, therefore, w ho \> ish remove to that State, will do v\ell to make their purchases soon, as the numerous emigrants to that country will soon take up all the unoccupied land, or at least greatly raise its va lue. From exploring the western country and hearing the different opinions of the people, 1 am induced to believe, that Indiana is the most desirable State west of the Alleghany. Its climate is healthy, its soil is pro ductive, and its laws salutary. [Is'bg. Press. - MORAL & RELIGIOUS.
