Dame Fortune has been generally represented as blind and fickle ; but I bave often thought that Fashion should also be* personified, anil if we called her a dame, she must be more fickle and eccentric than ever For* I tune was. The variety of changes to tvhich the world has been subjected by Fashion, and the inordinate extrava gance which has resulted from these useless changes, has produced incal culable evils in laying a foundation for waste and profusion, the ill ef? fects of which are now felt. In for mer times, a house itras furnished with the utmost : prudence ; no use less article was ever purchased $ and the high backed mahogany chairs, the heavy carved mirrors, the bed and durable curtain*, and all the ornaments of the mansion, were se lected Tor their lasting and useful qualities. After an absence of tw en* ty years a friend returned to his coun try, and his eyes were greeted with the same old-fashioned, ?yet nonder ous furniture, which time had fami linrized, nay, even rendered dear to him. He saw and recognised the old China jars, the sprigged tea cups and ilowet plates, the old chased sugar dish and tea toot, the . highly polished wardrobe, in which were deposited the brocade dresses of his grandam, and the embroidered waist coats of his grandfated ; all hese objects revived the recollect n of earlier davs, of happy moments, at?? served to increase that attach ment to home, iu which are centred so many joys, and so many enjoy ments. r But now the scene is altered j apd the furniture of a house iu changed *as frequently aa a coat or waktcoat instead of the useful and durable, we have the light, costly, aud the timsy ornaments of the tlrawipg : room 5 pit vases, cut glass chan* defers, grand upright pianos, ailk curtains, and all the paraphernalia of a fairy's palace} and immense fortunes are thus thrown aw#j on .these fickle, thoughtless changes, and, as Peter Trott says, ? the up holsterer has scarce done knocking v up, when in conies the aucliouer l|ra knocks down." ?' s 7 Thus fash ion may be called fickle, expensive, and sometimes impera tive : it ought t j be remitted with firmness and decision* 1 would bjp no means be so much out of fashun as to be peculiarly bt range and ab surd ; but to follow all its eccentri* cities, to be a slave to its**aprk*es, and ruined by its change*, is to be at once deaf to prudence, to discretion, and apod sense. It is not alone over the domestic organisation that fash* km exercises a powerful influence ; it extends to the person? and is equally as fickle and costly in mat* tors of dress and persona! ornament. Look in the bureau* and trunks of modern men of fashion, and see the number of coots, waistcoats, panta loons, hats, ahu boots. W by this unnecessary accumulation qf ex pense? Why purchase more 'than is absolutely necessary to make a respectable appears* ru e ? Think yon it adds to the appearand^ of a man to wear a bluejpat at breakfast, a pea-greeu at dinner, and a Hack in the evening? Thett the ladies, though they have s^ut as many adjM i fluiljr s ,uf tftu^gentlemen, still they have ;uany to spate; there are mai^ ex* ?enses which they - could curia.
