Young women of fortune who are above

part, brought up among US in America, win
an utter ignorance aud disregard 10 every

sne parent can administer to their eS;rava-

ants on some brother, or married sister tor
the rest of their lives or in failure OF that,
retire to board in some cheap country VII
lage, become exceedingly pious, and withal

mankind. There are but few young men
in our country that can afford to support an
extravagant wife, who does not bring the
means ofsupplying her own fictitious wants,
and this is the true reason why there are
such swams Of our blooming damsels wilh'

an alarming crop of old maids By 6rsOef,
who are preparing themselves for what is
to come, by studying the balance OF COM
fort, and deriving consolation from the SIN
Gle blessedness OF good Mrs. Charleton, aud
little Miss Amy Finch. As staunch friends
TO the gentle sex, we would advise them
forthwith to begin the study and the prac-
tice of well regulated ecouony--to think
sometimes ofsaving as well as spending
and, above all, to dress according TO their
means and situation. They will attract the
regard Of prudent and rejecting young men
who seek the choicest gem of life in gen.
tie, modest, economical wife-they will
bring and rec Give blessings in that state TO
which reason and nature have assigned the
performance of woman's duties, and the en-
joyment ofherhappiness-4the country will
be enriched by new citizens educated by
such mo,hers-and the dan1ies and corset
traemmIled beaux may exhibit their thin
waists and thick legs, at tea parties in vain.

STEAM GOAT RACE.


We understand trial of speed took place
on Friday morning last, between the Vir-
ginia. Captain Ferguson "a boat running
between Norfolk and Baltmore) and the
new boat Richmond, Captain Young, be-
longing TO this river. The challenge we
learn, came from the Virginia, hitherto con-
sidered one Of the swiftest boats in the
Union-the points at first agreed upon were
Norfolk and Newport News-the boats
started at | ! o'clock, ran together about Q
or nine miles without either appearing 10
have the advantage-until at length the
Richmond putting forth all het power, ran
ahead, and the Virginia was no more able
afterwards to come up with her. The dis
lance run is said to be about 10 miles and
when the Virginia gave Up the contest, her
opponent was about half of a mile ahead
The time occupied in the race is stated to
have been one hour, and ten minutes
The Richmond was much heavier laden in
wood and passengers than her opponent.
We have the above information from re-
spectacle gentlemen passengers on board
the Richmond and give it merely as mat
ter of public curiosity-not from any in
vidious motive.
