wrote and published a history of her captivity.
She was esteemed person of excellent judg
ment and disinterestedness of mind The fol-
lowing anecdote concerning her, had from Col
tsaph White, of Heath. Mass who also was
descendant of Peregrine White
There were two towns which had long
dispute and controversy concerning the boun-
Diary line between them and after many fruit
less attempts to settle the line, they agreed TO
submit the case to the umpirage of Madam Row
LANpsoN. She met the parties, went on the
ground, and heard their several pleas and ale
cations; and, after mature deliberations she
delineated the line, which she adjudged should
forever thereafter be the boundary divisional
line between them. The parties cheerfully ac-
guessed IN the Judgment Of so respectable, dis
interested, and judicious person. and it CON
TIMES to be the boundary line between them to

The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1824-05-15

Of beauty should be reserved to bless the
arms OF the happy man to whom you give
your heart, bu, who, if he has the least
delicacy, will despise them if he knows
that they have been pros,ituted to fifty
men before him. The sentiment that a
woman may allow all innocent freedoms,
provided her virtue is secure, is both
grossly indeica,e and dangerous, and has
proved fatal to many of your sex.
Let me now recommend to your atten-
ton that elegance which is not SO much
quality itself as the high polish Of every
other. 1t is what diffuses an ineffable
grace over every look, every motion, eve
ny sentence you utter; it gives that charm
to beauty, without which it generally fails
to please. 1t is partly personal quality
Ct the mind. In a word, it is the perfec-
zion of taste in life and manners-eyery
virtue and every excellency in their most
graceful and amiable forms.
You may perhaps think that want to
throw every spark of nature out of your
composition, and to make you entirely
artificial. Far from it. l wish you to
possess the most perfect simplicity of
heart and manners. think you may pos
sess dignity without pride, atfability with
out meanness, and simple elegance with
out affectation. Milton had my idea ,wheu
he says Of Eve,
Grace was in all her steps, heayn in her eye,
In ev'ry gesture dignity and love.

DESULTORY SELECTIONS.
THE CONSCRIPT.

In Graham's British Georges there is the fol
lowing description Of a French Conscript, bas-
ket maker by trade, who had been made cap
five by the British arms, and was held pr-
soner long time in Scotland;
"Once beheld captive, whom these
wars had made an inmate of the prison
house, cheering with wicker-work, Chat
almost seemed to him sort Of p!ay,) his
dreary hours. l asked his story. In my
native tongue, Oong use had made it easy

from my boyish days, had been my play

busy choosing out the prettiest twigs to

heard the tidings that the Conserrt lot
had fallen on me. 1t came like death
knell. The mother persisted, but the babe
survived: and e'er my parting day, his
rocking couch l made complete, and saw
him sleeping smile-the smile that played
upon the cheek Of her who lay clay cold.
Alas. the hour soon came that forced my
fettered arms to quit my child; and whe-

THE PRECEPTOR.
FROM DIR. GREGORY's LEGACY

TO HIS DAUGHTERS.
A fine woman, like other fine things in
nature, has her proper points of vie w, from
which she may be seen to most advantage.
10 fix this point requires great judgment,
and an intimate knowledge Of the human
heart. BY the present mode of female
manners, the ladies seem to expect that.
they shall regain their ascendancy over
us-by the fullest display of their perso
nal charms-by being always in our eye
at public pIaoes-by converslng with US
with the same unreserved freedom as we
40 with one another-in short, by resem-
bling US as nearly as they possibly can
but little time and experience will show
the folly of this expectation and conduct.
The power Of fine woman over the
hearts of men, of men of the finest parts,
is even beyond what she conceives. They
are sensible of the pleasing illusion but
they cannot, nor do they wish to, dissolve
it. But if she is determined to dispcl the
charm, it is certainly il her power; she
may soon reduce the angel to very ordi-
nary girl,
There is native dignity in ingenious
modesty to be expected from your sex,
which i your natural protection from the
famiharities Of the men, and which you
SHOULD feel, previous to the reAec ton that
it IS your interest to keep yourselves sa-
cred from all personal freedoms. The

JULIA D'ANGENNES.

JULIA D'ANGENNES.
When this celebrated beauty was in the
zenith of her fame aud youth, the renown-
ed Gustavus, king of Sweden, was max
ing war in Germany with the most bril-
liant success. Julia was accustomed, in
the most energetic manner, to express
her warm admiration of this hero and
she had his portrait placed constantly be-
fore her on her toilette, declaring she
would have no lover but Gustavus. The
Duke de Montausier was, however, her
most ardent and protested admirer and
this constant attachment on the part OF
the Duke gave rise to that famous poetic
garland which he sent to the lovely Julia
1t was sent 10 her as new-year's gift,
and the description Of it cannot fail Of
being interesting to every reader of taste
and refinement. 1he most beautiful flow
ers were painted in miniature by an emf
nent artist, on pieces of vellum, all Of an
equal size. Under every flower a suffi-
Gent space was left for madrigal on the
subject Of such flower. The Duke was
aided in this by all the wits Of the time
Under every flower madrigal was then
written by finished master in the art OF
penmanship. These poetical effusions,
with their beautiful paintings, were then
agniticently bound together. This gift,
when Julia awaked on New-Year's Day,
she found lying on her toilette. Amongst
the most elegant madrigals, was the fol
lowing on the Pioiet:
Modest my colour, modest is my place,
"Pleas'd in the grass my lowly form to hide;
i" But mid your tresses might wind with grace,
"The humblest Howr would feel the loftiest pride
We are assured by an eminent modern
writer, that the poetic garland Of Julia
d Angennes is still in existence; and that
this literary curiosity appeared a: the sale
Of the library of the Duke de la VALERIE.
II was sold for the exorbitant sum of
l4,5lo livres it is embelllshed by from
