DECENCY IN DRESS.

Women should not confne their at,en-
ton to dress to their public appearance
They should accustom themselves to an
hahitual neatness, 50 that in the most caro-
less undress, in their most unguarded hours,
they may have ne reason to he ashamed OF
their appearance. They will not easily
believe how much men consider ,hclF
dress az expressive of their characters
vanity, levity, slonvcniness, folly, appear
through it. An elegant simplicity is al
equal proof of taste and of delicacy.

ANSWER.

DFAR SIR--The bet just decided was
made under circumstances of excitement,
which might, in some measure, apologize
for its rashncss, but would scarcely Justify
it as an example; ard trust the part
took in it, will not be considered as a proof
of my intention To become professional
patron of sporting on so extensive Il scale
for myself, then, must decline your of
fer. For the gentlemen, who with me,
backed Eclipse, their confidence in his
superiority, may safely say, is not the
least impaired but even they do not hest
tate to believe tlrat old age and hard ser
vice, may one day accomplish, what
strength and feetness, directed by CONSUME
mate skill, has hitherto failed TO accom-
phsh. For Mr. Van Ranst, answer, that
he owes it to the association who have 50
confidently supported him, To the state al
large, who felt and expressed SO much in
terest in his success, and to him as man,
not totally Invested of feeling, never, or
any consideration, to risk the life or repu-
tation Of the noble animal, whose generous
and almost incredible exertions, have gain
ed for the NoRTu SO signal a victory, and
for himself, such wcll-earned aud never
fading renown.
