From, the Saranneh Times.

A London paper speaking of ladies'
dresses, says; eve have Of ourselves
still greater fault to find with the revival
of the system of "high pressure" as an
engineer would call it, we mean the o.
'dious screwing in of the waist, now
springiug up. Ifwomen fancy it grace
full, they are wofulIy deceived, and il
they do not find it prejudicial to their
health, why, we are deceived, and moi
they.
We believe tits owing entirely to the
ease and freedom of female dress for the
last few years, that our young girls are
all so healthy, so we'll formed, and so
forward in their growth. All this will
be checked by this most unnatural
screwing and torturing the body.
To talk about health to girl, in op-
position to fashion, we fancy is useless
and therefore we will take the screening
system upon its effect, which is TO make
fat elderly ladies look like oil jars, and
young ones like hour glasses. Four or
five years since, we had fools among our
men, SO spremely fools, as to squeeze in
their waists, and this, during the time
the ladies had Abandoned the torture,
as il they were wearing out The corsets
oftheir female relations, and TO strength.
en- this supposition, as soon as these
persons have abandoned the folly, our
fair country women adopt it-a folly
which has not the merit of being either
pleasant or becoming.
We are quite of Moore's opinion, who
cries out in one of his melodies
"Och! my Norah's gown forme,
That floats as wild as mountain breezes, *,
Leaving every beauty free,
To sink or swell, as nature pleases.''
Simplicity in dress, is its greatest beau

spectability, who have used them in cases Of
long standing, and some of them, where their
physicians had given them up as past recovery,
have been entirely restored by the use of this
medicine. The fact that they have now been

any former period is also strong argument ia
their favor. Thousands have shortened their
days by neglecting Coughs ', hen first attack

A MARE WITHOUT A FAULT.


"Who'l buy Mare, fellow cries,
Without single fault2
Not given to start (she never shie:) ....
To stumble or to halt''
A Cockney bought her for his bride,
And soon was vex'd to find
Twas true indeed she never SHE'D,
Poor Creature she was blind.
The man he found, and thus cried he,
(He much with anger burn'd,)
. You roguish knave! you've cheated me,
The cash must be return'd.
None in your mare fault could spy,
You said with mighty pother;
Why, rogue, she's blind i th' dexter eye,
And cannot see with t'other.'
{" Sir, (said the man, like you scorn
A falsehood to be caught in,
That she's been blind since she's been born
3 no fault, but her nsisfOrtin.''

I love to muse, when none are nigh
Where yew-tree branches wave,
And hear the winds, with softest sigh,
Sweep DER the grassy grave.
1t seems mournful music, meet
To soothe lonely hour
Sad though it be, il is more sweet
Than that from pleasures bower.

Or seem mournful tone,
Unless by man the spot be clad
With terrors not its own.
To nature it seems just as dear,
As earth's most cheerful settle;
The DEVELOPS glitter there as clear,
The sun-beams shine as bright.
The showers descend as softly there,
As on the loveliest flowers;
Nor does the moonlight seem more fair
On beauty's sweetest bowers.
Ay! but within-within there sleeps
One, DER whose mouldering clay,
The loathscme earth worm winds and creeps
And wastes that form away.n
And what Of that The frame that feeds
The reptile tribe below,
AS little of the banquet heeds,
As of the winds that blow.
