By John Howard Payn*.
But bless me?what two nondescripts to
gether !
The she a pile of ribband, straw, and lea

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

With every frizzle striving to look big ;
On the rough'd check the fresh dyed whis

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

What traps, ropes, steel, the aching rib^

To make the Dandy beautifully less !
Thus, fools, their final stake of folly casi,
By instinct, to straight waistcoats come at

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.
