CURIOUS ADVERTISEMENTS.

.uatrtnIonY.--A lady tremblingly alive
to the impropriety of this address, is ne
vertheless compelled from the family dis
comforts she now endures, to adopt this
method OF obtaining friend and portec-
tor and she is quite certain, that can
did explanation of her situation, will ex-
cuse, with liberal mind, this apparently
INDIGENOUS appeal. The advertiser has
been married, is middle aged, of pleasing
appearance, highly educated and accom-
Piisheds but she flatters herself the regula-
tons other heart and mind exceed ali out
ward recommendation her income is very
small, and only Just sufficient to enable
her to make the appearance of a gentle
woman. The being she is desir0us of
looking up to for happiness, must be by
birth far above the middling class of socie-
ty; and all professions except the church,
the army, OF nav, will be objected to !;
about 40, but not under, that AGE, very tall.
of gentleman like appearance, and posses
sing that polish and those habits, that is
only TO be acquired in good company OF
an uuimpeached, moral, respectable and
honorable character, fond of retirement
and domestic life--fortune not beng the
object OF TIE advertiser, she requires his in
come only to be equal to his own wants.
and She viii never lessen it as the most
serious and painful causes have occasioned
this address, it is earnestly solicited that
no one win reply to it from curiosity or
amusement, and persons who seek fortune,
connections, or any otler worldly adyan-
tage, will only be disappointed by MOTTO
ing it, but should it meet the eye Of be-
ing whose mind in sufficiently cultivated
to considera well born, elegant and accom-
plished companion, and sincere friend, the
first treasure in life, from snch she will be
glad to hear, and real names and address
will be considered pledge of sincerity
that will not be abused. Letters must be
