May their tender iim5s
Float in the l00se simplicity Of dress"

FE0Gt W tfe E00SC SzHtPHGlSy u 0feSS. - -
Sc Why are women, in their dress, so fond
of art, when nature has done so much Tor
them Isitnot kind of Insult to the par
tial and benevolent hand that has been, for
them so lavishly profuse of every genuine
charm and native grace Woman is the
complement OF the human creation 1.-THE last
and finishing stroke given 10 that sublime
picture. When woman was created, nature
shone with greater lustre, and man with
brighter glory /; and the divine power itself,
as it were, conscious of not being able to
shape matter in nobler or more elegant
form, rested then from his wafks, Blessed
them, and declared them good. Why then
should women be SO little sensible OF their
dignity in the scale of created beings? or
why should they SO little appreciate mems
feelings, as to think, that in swaying his af-
fections, they should be more indebted to,
the paltry efforts of a useless ART than to the
irresistible and divine influence of unadorn-
! ed and unaffected beauty, united to moral
perfection
Woman, it is true, is not created to 90
yern and rule the world her lot is, perhaps,
still more glorious she is created to make
1t happy. Woman sits not on the legislators
benches she weighs not in her feeble hand
the destinits of nations ;but il is On her soft
and generous bosom, on that sweet throne
OF an ever adorable and bounteous nature.
that the little infant, in the raptured embrac-
es OF maternal love and filial gratitude "opens
his heart to the first emotions of human vir-
tue and receives the first rudimrnts of his
social education. Formed for the kind Of
hoes OF gentle charity and love, woman leads
not armies to destruction and carnage but
1t is by the mild beams of her lovely ewes
that the breast OF man is fred with patrio-
NC ardor 1t Is the winning softness of her
1n endearing voice that, even in the noise of

TO THE FLYING FISH.

IL lHE FIXING FISH
When have seen thy snowy wing
Ger the blue wave at evening spring,
And giee those scales Of silver While,
So gaily to the eye of light
As If thy fraae were form'd to rise,
And live amid the glorious skies;
Oh, 1t has made me proudly feel,
How Ike thy wings impatient zeal,
Is the pure soul that scorns to rest
Upon the worlds ignoble breast,
But take the plume that Cod hath given,
And rises inio hight and heaven
But when see that wing, SO bright,
Grow ianguid with moments light,
Attempt the paths OF AIR IN vain,
And sink into the waves again:
Alas! the hattering pride is Ger;
Like thee, awhile, the soul may soar,
But crring man must blush TO think,
Like thee, again, tho soul may sink.
Oh, Virtue. when thy cline seek,
Let not my spirits fight be weak:
Let me not, like this feeble thing, w
With brine still dropping from lis wing
Just sparkle in the solar glow,
And plunge again to depths below;
But when leave the grosscr throng,
With whom my soul hath dwslt SO long,
Let me, in that aspiring day,
Cast every lingering stain away,
And painting for thy purer air,
Fly up at once, and fix ne there,
