FROM THE CLUB.
Richmond, Sept. 22, 1810.
THE Lrgis’a*ure of this common
wealth is as enl ghtened, perhaps, as
that oi any other upon earth ; and u-t
have witnessed the mteliigt nee tha:
__-_:i. _ r-__ i » i.

heart-fdt pleasure. At a late session
of that brdy, for example, a very ex
cellent law was enai ted to suppress du
elling, -nd the authors cf it, if it he
properly enforced, will be HLssed no
only by the prsent but by lu ure g nr
rations. Where so much . ood sense
exists, we have been at a l ss to dis
cover the cause of the notorious inat
tention which has icigoed among the
members of the legislature in re la ioi.
to another s bsect; a subject, vvh cli,
b>r warit of hgi lative patronage, is
r. nning irio decay, and must, u.dts
some grea exert-on he made si .on to
revive the si »r>: of it, have the rrspec
ablc state of Virginia far behind its
more vigilant sisters m the a ts that
re uselul and necessu y 10 civil.Zeo
society.
The sagacious reader v ill doubtless
by this tittle h ye formed a coi.j<;c.tur
as o tin tepic alluded to. It j8 the
a. dent and meritorious practice of
Cafd-Pla\i>>g; a practice that has ex
is td 50 long among us, that the me
mory of man runneth not to the contra
fy* it has hnally become the com
mon law .f the land. The negle<ted
state of this art howevrr, upon the in
du; t. ions cultivation of u hich our fore,
bi hers so much and so justly valu d
themselv s, casts us back a century at
least, in t.;e anna's of honorable im.
provemtnt, tends to rank us with Goths
and Vandals, lenders us unamiable as
wi'ches and wizards, and degrades us
in ihe eyes of our fellow-ckizei s of the
Union. I am, therefore, of opinion
that a m< morial ought to he drafted,
signed, and presented to the next Ge.
neral Assembly of Virginia, praying
the adoption of proper meatus to rt vi
vify this branch ol the fine arts, thai
we may be again raised to a par m
that respect with our neighbors of the
eauern and western states.
It is conceived that the best way of
advancing the practice of Caul-Plav
ing, will be to ordain a Professorship
m the chief stmii ary of learning in
Vi.ginia ; and, in order to give vigor
to it in the first instance, let ten thou
•and dollars per annum be allowed to
the professor for five years, and three
thousand per annum altei wards, 'i hia
salary will comn and a veteran of tin
abilities in the art, who will initi
ate our young men in the most pro
found secrets of the practice. Ihe
only objection to this mode is, that the
young ladies cannot so properly enjoy
tht advantages of tuition ; but this "de
fect may in a great degree he remedi
ed by the inotiiu ion of female Acade*
n ie<, aided by »he influence of example
which will be numerous as soon as tht
firs: shoal of graduates break out in:<
j society from William and Mary, v/hert
’ they will be well qualified to instruc
' the y >ung Misses in all the royttcrici
of 44 shuffle and cut
| if it weic at a 1 reqnit.te to cnlofct
the necesity and iff!po»-tacce of ad< rt
ing a proposition, the bent-fi s ol which
are 80 self-evident, it might be remark •
cd that Card Plat ing t-ncln to prevent
that serenity of 'emjtcr anti equal i ni
tv of mind, which are so very tiispica*
ble in both women atad men 5 aod u»
promote that agreeable flurry of the
spirits, that encht.ming lurblleuce of
the passions, out of which spring v;tri«
ous personal conflict* tending to the
exaltation of virtuous sentiments and
the improvement of our native valor 5
as well as to he perfection of that tn
ti rainingamu^mtnt which tie ladies
call putLcap and squabble-squeak. It
tends, also to imrouucca more u.an v
way of swearing, by » xplor'ing your
insignificant sn akiug “ demme” and
substituting fer it your IV. nk, noble,
a d dign'lied, God damn ijour infer*
nal soul! * ** H< il blast ijourdamivd e
ternal ey* s ! and similar exc amari
ons, *huh are vastly edifying and
strictly religious. And to conclude,
nothing can be jmore conducive to h*
training women tor the enjoyment of
domestic .elicity, by leading o la e
hours, t » a gambling propensity, to a
spirit oi elegant sha.p ng, to the m-g
h et of the vulg-r arid odious rules of
economy in housck epieg, all which
will render < ur belles inroir.parably
tht most delicious companions imagin
able in the married state, and inus at
tract from adjoining commonwealths
the n:o t approved young gentleuvea
for husband*. If our lcgiala.ure should
be so fortunate as iuily to succeed iu
rhis glorious scheme, they will de
serve IO lie iminnri:ili7^d • In ..kc.u
case I trust that it w ill not be forgot
ten that the Literary Club of Richmond
first made the motion.

“ Long credit is offered me.”
Very well; it shews that vou have
credit now ; and the way to Ice p j:, is
o u-e it rot too freely. Htfore ou
ci nch t]ie bargain, look about you, ; i.d
o: stder a few points :
1. Is the price t ousideraMv high r
t> an l r ready cash ; »nd,tOv eth< rwi h
th s enhanced [rice, have you also to
pay interest ? If so, you are sure to
make a losing ir d> .
y. li ihe thing be an article cf
cloathing, or furniture, or food, or
'drink, which you c^n well enough do
without; then tuke it rot on cred t.
; Ha her wait till you have ready money
to spare forii. It is better to turn the
old roar rlion mn '•« .1.. u. t__ ... ...
one. Old n?d furniture is more
com‘or;al>le in the end, than articles of
taste, unpaid for.
3. If the article or articles, be a
house, or land, or goods for sale, it al
ters the case some, but siviu d not .u
| bate your caution. 1. Ke p a sharp
I look out, lest tiic credit price u.o much
Jexceed the ready money price. 2.
Consider whether there be a mo: al
certainty that you can meet yoi?r piy»
nntnt? punctually, without distressing
\ ourself. 3. Whether the thing or
things you b jy, would at any time bring
you about as much money as you pro
mise lor them, should other resources
'ail. If so, th re is little or no dan
ger. Otherwise beware.'
Multitudes aie undone by taking, pi
wrll as by givi.g too much credit.
u In the r.fT irsof this world,7* as some
body has observed before m-, “men
a*e not saved by laith, bd: by the want
of it.” We are apt (the voung and en
terprising especially) to be too conn
deut of success. Give them but cre
idit, long credit, and the see no dan
I gtr or diflictihy ; nothing but pms
ptets of iiicreas . Untoward inci
. .dents happen, which were qcite lr.fr
. out of tlicir calculation. Their plea
sing dream is dissolved ; and they a
wake out of it in cons'enuttion.
