The importance of this, both as it respects yourself and others, you can scarcely estimate loo highly. On one j hand, it has much to do in forming your ! own character; and need not say that any lack of prudence in this respect even lor a single hour, may expose you to evils which no subsequent caution could enable you effectually to repair. !

Ketneniber that every j expression of civility, to bo of any value, ! must bo perfectly voluntary; ami any wish on your part, whether directly or indirectly expressed, to make yourself a favorite, will be certain to awaken the disgust of all who know it. I would not recommend to you any thing like a prudish or affected reserve, but even this is not so unfortunate an extreme, as an excessive forwardness. While you modestly accept any attentions which propriety warrants, let thero be no attempt at artful insinuation on one hand, or at taking a mans heart by storm on the other. He not ambitious to be considered a bello. Indeed, I had rather you would be almost any thing els?', which does not involve gross moral obliquity, than this. It is the fate of most belles that they be coino loolisiily vain, think oi nothing, j and care for nothing, beyond personal j display, and nut unfrerjuently sacrifice ! themselves in a mad bargain, which involves their destinies lor life. The more of solid and enduring esteem you enjoy, the better ; and you ought to gain whatever of this you can by honorable means ; but to be admired, caressed and flattered, for mere accidental qualities, which involve nothing of intellectual or moral worth, ought, to render any girl, who is the subject of it. an object of pity. You are at liberty to desire the good opinion oi every gentleman ot your acquaintance; but it would bo worse than folly in you to be ambitious of a blind admiration. I will only add, you ought to be on ! your guard against the influence oi llattcry. Relv on ii, the man who fl itters you, whatever he may profess, is not your friend. It were a much kinder office, and a real mark of friendship, to admonish you tenderly, yet honestly, of your faults, li you yield a little to flattery, you have placed yourself on dangerous ground : if you continue to yield,you are not improbably undone. Important JJiscovkky.?Professor Auckland read a paper before the Royal society of Great Bri ain, upon an experiment he made with the common blackbird. He procured several when very young, and fed them on various flower seeds, and each bird had the nlu mage of the flower that would have grown from the seed it planted. New York Sun. This paragraph has, for some days past, been going the rounds of our exchange papers. We were ; first inclined, like most sensible people, to consider it nothing less than a vile hoax, but mature refh ction lias led us to subscribe to its truth, and even to frame a very re:?Itlf llii'nrir tinnn flip fur'l ('lii.m -r "j "J" " ; ists very well know that the. mingling ot j all th<- prismatic colors to?j?*tlier constitutes black, <iii'I thus the cau$f ot the rafale color ol the bird in it*.; wil I st .itr. is . that it eats the Is ol (low'-rs of rvrry ...i . . . nur, which commtiing loifi'iiicr in ns alimentary c ri:il, yiveit tlx: plumage, from which it derivrs its name.

Cur is ion i Ivimornor.iA.?A writer in the National Intelligencer says that spirit of hartshorn is a certain remedy for the bite of a mad dog. The wounds, he acids, should he constantly bathed with it, and throe or four doses, diluted, taken inwardly during the day. The hartshorn decomposes rhemically the virus insinuated into the wound, and immediately alters and destroys its deleteriousness. The writer, who resided in Brazil lor some time, first tried it i'or tlie 1 ite of a scorpion, and found that it removed pain and inflammation almost instantly. Subsequently he tried it for the bite of the rattlesnake with similar success. At the suggestion of the writer an old trie ml and physician in England tried it in cases of hydrophobia., and always with success.
