MISCELLANEOUS.

From the Independent Press
Among the prevailing follcs of the age
perhaps none is more prominent and alb
surd than ridiculous display Of dress
This whimsical propensity to decorate
the outside has become so fashionable Of
late, especially among the female sex
and handles, that the cultivation of the
mind is put out of the question, as being
matter totally undescrving the care and
attention OF great and mighty beings, and
only fit for the employment of such vain
and unwise persons as cannot discern in
what true happiness consists. If a fe-
male can now days procure by "hook
or crook" FIAT Leghorn bonnet, and
lace ruffle of FIVE or six thicknesses, she
has arrived at the very tip toe of her de-
.ires, and considers herself provided with
all the necessaries of this world, even

HONEST LABOR is HONORABLE.

Among the encouraging prospects,

of liberty and Independence, is the in
creasins honor attached 10 domestic in

ashamed to be found occupied in any
necessary labor and he is rather an OBJ
ject of scorn who is seen disdainfully di.

his labors, than he, whose hands are en-
ployed in it.
That imaginary exaltation, which
scorns honest industry, has reduced ma

are calculated to undermine the basis of
our government, and spread discord and
misery in every neighborhood, and eve.
ry family.
He who ieels above honest labor,
ought to be considered 6elozv an honora-
bic station in society; nor ought his mis-
fortunes to bring him within the circle
Of effectual commisseration, until they
have brought him to honest and persever.
ing industry. No man has right, or
title to comfort and respectability, with
out the sweat of his brow nor ought 1
to lift finger for raising man from the
troubles of an overwhelming poverty,
while he is afraid of staining his fingers
with honest labor.
When see lady exul,ing in her
