FASHION,,

We are all republicans in this happy
country, and it would be considered little
short Of high treason to say that we are
not as free as the air we breathe; new
ertheless, we are all under the the do
minion of one of the most absolute tt-
rants that ever existed-the tyrant Fash
ion. It is in vain. that we moralize upon
the subject, or let fly the arrows of sat-
ire. Fashion will exert IFS lnagck pow
er, and the grave and the gay, with few
exceptions. bow in painful submission,
and quietly kiss the rod. Here and
there solitary Editor raises his voice
against an occasional innovation, which
threatens TO throw his own clothes out
of the mode, before, as is too often the
case, his subscribers enable him to ex-
change athreadbare coat for new one
and there are some wouid-be wits, who
lose no opportunity to crack their stale
Jokes on the ever-varying dresses of the
fair. If their hats are large, they look
like Cupids in corn-basket; and if small,
they are at once accused of exposing
their pretty features to attract admira-
ton. lftheir attire be loose and COM
Portable, they are careless and slovenly /;
and if their delicate frames and slender
waists are shown off to advantage. all
the little artillery of these merry fault
finders is at once hurled at their corsets.
Thus, do what they will, they arc either
rldlculed or censured, and, perhaps on
the whole, it is we'll for them 10 .sfolIow
the fashion," and take their chance. But
whatever mutations may take place,
they should all study neatness and econ
omy, and be careful to avoid every thing
that savours Of extravaganza and above
all, pay more attention to the cultivation
OF the mind, than to the decoration of
the person. True, it is frequently nee
essary for lady to display her taste,
and show her ability TO please by the ar
rapgement of her dress; but at the same
fine, she should avoid a lavish use of CAV
and costly apparel--reaecting that. in

LONELINESS
Needs not the foreign aid of ornament /.
But is, when unadorn'd, adorn'd the most.

EDUCATyON.

The evil effects of bad system of family
government are pointedly illustrated in the
following extract from juvenile tale:-
James had been to school, however,
hut few weeks before he had many
powerful rivals; among whom was
boy somewhat older than himself, who,
with disposition naturally good, discov-
cred even at this early age the effects of
bal management. For his parents were
regular in one thing only, and that was a
never-failing opposition; what one con-
dcmned the other as certainly commend
ed; if the father reproved, the mother
was sure to caress, and the tears that the
mothers rebukes oCcasioned, were COM
monty dried by some token of particular
favour from the father. So that the
child was never sure that he had done
wrong, and his sorrow for fault lasted
no longer than the pain of the whipping,
or the smart of the angry slap; the sever
ity of which were usually proportioned
to the degree of the parents petulance,
rather than to the extent Of poor Ste
phen's transgression.-You as he was,
he had learned that many things might
be done on good-humoured day, which
it would be rash to attempt at other
times, and it was painful to see the little
fellow watch the turns of countenance,
to discover, not so much whether the
thing might be done, as whether it might
DC done openly; for having no rule Of
right or wrong, but the humour of his
parents, when that did not agree with his
wishes, he sought for secret opportunities
of gratifying them. Thus habit of de-
ceiving was formed, which betrayed him
continually into little arts and tricks, e.
ven at school, where he had nothing TO
fear from pettish humour or iIl-goyern-
ed temper"

[SELzcTEp FOR THE SrY.T

If ever there are moments, which
one would wish 10 live over again,
which leave 70 stain upon the spirit,
and no wounds to tester in the bosom,
and are to US as gay islands in the cold
and stormy ocean we are sailing over
it is when the pure nature within us has
thrown OFF the shackles of chilling
want and. besetting appetite, and has
entered into communion with its better
feelings, and hoEer aspirations when
it has forgotten itself in its minglings
with kindred spirits, and has found abb
sorbing ecstasies in the communication
of mutual blessings when it h1s given
to another new pleasure of taste or
tenderness, and has taken back in re-
turn the kind look and delighted accent !;
when it has felt, us the blended feel
ings partook deeper and deeper of
tie same enjoyment, a linking togeth-
er of two existences till every thought
and glance and motion seemed in unison,
and one could not he joyous and the
other unhappy, and the tear could not
rise on one eyelid and the others heart
not overflow in sympathetic sorrow.
And who would wish to rob the feel
ing mind of his ideal happiness, and
call down his imagination now revealing
in bowers of Eden, and rejoicing with
angels and blessed spirits in the unds-
covered mansions of long-wishcd-for
hereafter; when he has pictured his
companions in all the perfectness OF
form and charm of feature that ever
poet conceived or painter embodied,
and has taken the flowers and the
birds when the sweetest and the farest.
and the thinking and feeling beings of
his paradise when youngest and gayest,
in the glad season of life's spring, when
taste is natnre and sensibility the I'M
taught movings of a stainless bosom.
