people who proceed in this marker complain
of the clothier, because theifdoth does not

'the art of dreffin^ cloth without cockling it, :
has declared (most probably for the mean!

The following French Character, is. translated

portrait may appear it is not without a living
original.—
" Itis her happiness to be ignorant ,of all that
the world calls pleafores ; her glory is to live in

crates her days id the practice of social virtues.
Occupied in the govermrieAt.of.her family, Ilie
reigns over her husband by complaisance ; over
her children by niildmefs ; aver her domell,ics by
goodness. Her hottie is the residence of religious
sentiments, filial piety, of conjugal love, of mater
nal tenderness, of order, peace, tweet deep, and
good health. Ecornoracal and studious, fe
prevents want,and dissipates the evil passions.; the
indigent who present themfe+ves at her door are
never repulsed ; the licentious avoid her . prefenct.
Sty has a character of reserve and dignity, that
urikes her refpefted ; of indulgence and feptibib

Many of our farmers will fell their wool,
and buy foreign cipth ,6r common wear.
T,his,>wool is exported to Europe, jferc
tnanhfaaured, brought back, and fold here
at an extravagant price. Thus for want
of good economy, Yheir clothing costs double

and take care that the yarn be equally
wrought : the filling Ihould be spun with
the wheel cross banded. Let the wool be
kept dean from lint or dirt in spinning ;,
and clean the yarn before it is wove. A
void old harnesses in weaving, for their lint
&c. essentially injure the cloth—be careful
to beat equally, tor if one part of a fink be
beat closer than the other, the cloth will
cockle : to avoid this it would be well allo
to weave each skein by itfelf, make a good
selvage and trim as you weave. If all knots
are not cut off with fheares before the cloth;
is fulled, they are picked out with tweazeis!
by the clothiers, leaving holes in the cloth;
which injure it.

these direaions, there is no danger of it's
