DR.. PACKARD, Rev. Mr.. ELLxGwooD, and
NATHANIEL COFFIN, Esq. committee with full

g desirable that all the associations be formed

:" cording to the present division of school dis
: tricts to appoint committee OF two or three

Looking at me with supercilious grin,
TwiddIing her locks, and propping up her

In Turkish petticoats, all spick and span !?
Can. Oh cat old Lady is young Gentle

Why you've forgot the meaning OF the word.
Put ON your glasses-look again and see,
Is that strange animal bit like me?
Are my legs muffied up, as if grown handy ?
Can. Mi Lor. dat Gentleman is called

You make the creature weep

BEAUTY.

Beauty depends greatly on the condi-
ton and qualities Of the mind. A well
informed and we'll regulated mind is ever
accompanied with serenity, and discern
ment 10 the countenance, which are in
gradients in the composition of perfect
beauty. Let those ladies who pride them
selves upon the elegant symmetry Of their
features, or those who wish to improve
the pleasing tints of their compilations, re-
member, that all their hopes will end in
disappointment, unless they lay up good
stock of information, aud regulate their
passions by a course Of rigid discipline.
In this way the greatest beauties will
shine with increased spendour, aud ordi,
nary faces viii be viewed with more COM
placency, than the wild and vacant stare
of the best formed couhtenance, adorned
with all the roses and lilies of nature.

The only favour ii entreats is, that men
