Tho Romans frequently moke use of a pro verb, tho Bound senile of which cannot be suffici ently admired \ ex vede Ilereulem Hercules, is known by his foot. The Greeks (what infinite resources does An extensive reading give one,) the Greeks say X Imntion aner\ The habit is the man. Indeed it is io little things, and par ticularly in the choice of dress, that the charac ter of men is shown without disguise; When \vc ire employed in afftirs of consequence, we make use of great discretion, and the interest we commonly have in the concealment, gives it sue cess t but in matters which appear almost indif ferent, like dress, we leave the imagination to it self, and it is then we frequently betray what we Vould wish to have most carefully concealed.? Prom thin there undoubtedly arises the most dreadful conscquences. To prevent these, let us endeavor to establish such clear maxims, that every one will in future know on what to de pend, and let us leave as few doubts on this im portant point, as the act of Edward Third on the crimes of High Treason. Dress should have the same relation to the person, as style to the subject. We derive from this principle all the rules of the art which we propose to teach. It is clear for example that tho luxury of dress should be in proportion to rank and fortune ; whilst this proportion is fol lowed, it is a useful pomp which supports the in dustry of the poor zi the expense of tho rich, and every thins is in Its proper place. A woman of rank arrayed like the wile of my Farmer, or Hie wife of my Farmer like a woman of rank, would be til Hdleulouii as a sublime thought in rhyme, btr the burden of a ballad in Alexandrine*. We recommend to women who maintain the first rank by their birth and beauty, the taste of an elegant simplicity. A subject width is suffi cient of itself, hat no need of foreign ornament* Art may disfigure the form?it cannot' to improve it. Rut a beautiful woman br*~ most beautiful object of beautiful nature. adopt a stylo of ureas entirely Epick, but E_ like the muse of Virgil ? pure, modest and with out tho slightest mixture of tinsel. We forbid her therefore, (and it is under the penalties that* belong to it) every species of trinket, in a word every thing which mny resemble the*eoneoltP of modern literature. Wo exhort her to remem ber, that it i| with dress as with expression, the most simple is that alone which takes nothing from the sublimity of the idea | the mostJiappy is that which being com founded with the idea cannot be perceived. It is never necessary to speak of a beautiful woman's toilet, if we con ceive it impossible she should be ever any thing but beautiful. And we must here render justice to the most celebrated beauties of England and Francrf we have met with, that their dress* of their wholo sex, has beeft the farthest removed from ridicule and stud v. The tood sense of He. lin is shown oven in her garmenFs*?8he does not unpenr cither too negligent, or too care All. but simple and decent, in tiiat just medium Which it equal distant ft on tho exageratlons of fashion, from that singularity which seek* observation, or that scornful npaligencewhich announcesa beau ty too proud of ner powers. Our precepts will lie less severe to those Wo men who are only prtftjf, to those whose charm* arise rather from a certain air, spread over their whole person, than fr<<n the regularity of their features or the dignity of their figure, V/c ft. batnlon to them nil the resource! of toe art, we will even pardon them the inconsistencies which arise from a lively and playful imagination.-*. These are subjects of fancy susceptible ot all the charms, which the nunic of style, the Variety ol1 tones can give. Let thorn imitate in their it* tire sometimes the taste of the tonitfL sometimes that of the madrigal or HoHdrtiut'fim the lesfcer, S races. I/Ot the young Flavia be (heir model, it- care of her toilet is not indeed her most im? porta lit business, but it is the sweetest of Iter a muscment*. However brilliant her atUre, we never see in it any thing unnecessary| the cha racter of Iter face supports all the pomp with which sho fa surrounded. If she owes to her jewels any ItMre which she would not have had without them, it may also bo said, that she gives them id return a grace which they would have nought in vtin elsewhere. There U a third order of women whom I shell beg leave to distinguish t>y the name of neuter face* i these wopken ere neither beautiftil nor ugly, end their only merit consists in a little de* lice'te figure, with lively, sparkling eyes?All that I Cau do for them ft to permit tjbem to imi tate in their drees that brief, lively iind natural turn whioh should characterise the JSftgnm nothing more. . v After having thus determined what belong! to the three classes of my own c(tontry women who are permitted $o make use of ornaments, viz. those who ate beautiful, those who are pretty & those who hold a certain medium between ugli 11ens and beauty, 1 add that this priv}lege is li mited by common sense to r certain number of yeare, after which term it must be regarded as void. Arrived at that degree of latitude where there are no more favorable winds, it is time to gain the first port and lower the sallfV I have now reached the most melancholy di vision of my subject, and I tremble at this dis pleasure which the freedom of my remarks may bring on me. Can 1 however, avoid speaking-? and Hpeaking without regard to the consequen ces which may arise from it ? My subjects leads me, and I must not dissemble. There is a class of women, who aro (the truth must como out,) ngfy j a class, I grieve to say it, so numerous that I am forced to treat it with a sort of rigor, to spare it not only the scorn of the public, out its indignation, and what is still more dreadful, ridicule without measure. Let it then bo for* bidden every ugly woman to denart from the humble characters of anu that too the most simple. Kvcry effort she can make of any other kind will only enrry her to the Burletqut? to a clumsy and laughable parody. An ugly woman should avoid every thing which and may draw on her the eves of those who will only regard her with ill will. If from her draw slw has forced the public to support her deformi* tv, let her expect that it will Jo her justice, and (hut like another Medusa, while she makes her sernents hiss to jietrify those who behold her, she will find another Perseus who will take the head and all which belong to it. Ugly women, whom it would be wiser to regard as a third sex than as a part of the fair, should make a solemn re* nunciation of nil (lie labors which it in imposui ble for them to ei\joy ; they should turn their eyes to another quarter* endeavor to become good country M|iiires, amuse themselves with hunting, anu Ringing catches, & drinking songs > they might even obtain a seat in Parliament.? For myself I see no objection. Perna|>s I may be asked, how shall a woman know that she is ugly* that she may take her measures accordingly. 1 reply the must believe her ear* rather than Her eyes. lie assured, ma dam, if your year f$ not accustomed to the lan guage of gallantry, or passion, it la notjfmikltUjf which haa saved you from ?o dangerous ? autre. There ia yet another order ofwomen who me rit the aharpest censure, their conduct being a perpetual insult to common sense. They mly bo considered a? hardened offender** There n? o women passed the age of 6Q, i is whetlter tliey were beautiful or.),, age, to maintain a graceful deportment We see them at all die spectacles displi ry thing that art and nature can farnitl genious, to render themselves nave known somu of these grcat-g who thinking to shine in all the rainbow, resemble only the silk the middle of his threads.

William Cobbett, the author of the Weekly Register, published in London, has written lifi opinion* on the emigrations of British subjects to our parts of North America* On the departuro of the physicians of Great?Ilritain to the united States* he writes thust?M For medical men there is Always room, and always wilt be as long as people continue to die. The truth, is that, or the three profe??ton?, this is the best. 1 mean, It contain* the best men, and the wheat and cle verest men. The prieat and the lawyer may thrive by subserviency.

Thia writer lived during the mMt flourishing period of the Spanish monar chy t and he is supposed to have given iu this work, under 4 fictitious name and title, a detail of the principal events of his own adventurous and variegated life. The work does not possess (hat interest which strongly rivets the attention of the reader f but it containsabundance of utea? Mnt, prudential and humorous observation*, characteristic of the old Spanish romance, with many curious anecdotes illustrative of the man ned of the age in which it was written. The following extract is a favorable specimen, and ma/ enable our readers in some measure to judge for themselves*?* Young girls are joyous of heartland merrv of society) they run about friikiug like liinus, while their old husbands are creeping along with their gouty feet. A hare is not so much persecuted by greyhounds, as the Soung wife or an old man by other men. Kel ler is there a young man in the place, but what alls her const*, nor an old tale*bearing woman that is not of her acquaintance. 8he goes to all the churched round about, either to get away from her husband, or, as a pretence for visiting one or other of her gossip*. If the husband is poor, she complains of his stinginess | if rich, she soon takes care to leave him nothing but what grows upon his forehead. Ood preserve my understanding! I am very well a simile man ?nu knuw how to manage myself in a state of solitude. I do not therefore wish to disturb the remainder of my life with new carea or vain counsels." The doctor was ready to burst with laughter at all this* while his wife was thinking of the reply she had to make. At last ahe said with grcht ingenuity and good humor?" One learns something new every day f it is a good thing to live, in order to study different charac ters. You are the first old man I ever saw or heard of, that refused to marry a young fgirl.? They are fond of now blood to warm their old. We make old trees young by grafting* them.? That plants may not be front-bitten, we cover them up. The pal in-tree will not bear fruit un less her companion grows near her. Mtlancho Iv and desperation arc the friends of solitude. All rational animals, andevenbrutei,arefrlend8 to society. I hope you are not like that brutal philosopher, who on being asked what WAS the proper age to marry, answered t When a man is young, it is too early | when old, too late."
