1t is possible these thoughts may of1end.-But
am !, they present no cause of offence to the
most selfdenying mind There is a spirit in some
of our most excellent females in relation to the art

For myself, do not believe there is any thing
praseworthy in that spirit of female curiosity which
nterferes with the dress of her fellow christians
and would reduce the taste of the community to
any standard-And have always found that those
are, with few exceptions, the very persons who
would lead the fashion, if it were in their power

THE. MxRR OR.

From DR.. Springs Discourse ON the Excellence and
Influence ofMe Female Character.
Nor is there any why Christian females
should be inattentive to their apparel "Let it be
remembered that we live under dispensation
which grants considerable liberty, in respect to ma
ny external circumstances; that an excessive strict
ness about tres leads to the neglect of substantial
things and that the kingdom of God is not
meat and drink so neither does it consist in any
peculiarities of apparel, but in righteousness and
peace, and JOY, in the Holy Ghost" am by no
means prepared to subscribe to the sentiment that
a woman should mark her Christian principles by
any sngularity in her dress. There are few things
more preposterous anti christian, or that have led
to more censurable results. A Christian woman
ought to be distingushable by her simplicity, her
neatness, her economy, her healthful and becoming
attire, but never by her stiffness and precision. Nor
does the gospel prescribe all ornament in the arti
Gle of clothing 1t does, indeed, prohibit that pro-
fusion of ornament which consists in a studied dis
play of personal decorations and costly array But
where does it interdict that decent regard to
ternal appearance, which gives responsibility to the
female character? A woman without responsibility,
is without influence and without influence, she is
without power Of doing good. Nor do l hesitate to
say that it part of the religion of the Gospel
for female to be very scrupuous in avoiding the
common modes ofapparel. believe there is much
more anxiety, and much more attention to dress,
and much more sin in studiously avoiding them,
than in naturally falling in with them. Fashions.

would she appear to disregard the spirit of the age,
and cleave to the habiiment her ancestors, while
the prevalent modes of dress among persons OF her
own Glass; are not inconsistent with modesty and
decorum. And let it not be forgotten, that there
is no intrinsic evil in mere dress Of any kind. So
long as the heart is not corrupted nor the best in
terest Of men injured by the garments we wear,

pervade woman's entire sphere, and with
which, society would degenerate into the barbarism
and violence of the dark ages. And hence this ele-
walton of character is always one of the effects of
Christianity upon barbarous nations. 1t is sad
msconception that the law of God excludes every
thing that is refined or ornamental and restricts hui
man enjoyments merely to what is necessary to hui
man subsistence Coarse and depraved indeed,
would be that society in which there is nothing for
the ease and convenience of life. So long as man.
kind have social as we'll as moral nature, the cul-
tivaton Of elevated and refined spirit in the fe-
male sex, deserves place among her obvious ex-
cellencies. But will add,
OF all others, Personal Piety forms the distin-
guished excellence of the female character.
"Favour is deceitfu1, and beauty is vain but the
woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised"
The virtues to which we have alluded are the glory
of woman, but piety constitutes the of her
glory speak not of that pety which exists only
in name, but of that which has its seat in the heart;
which subdues the native alienation of the mind to
God and holiness which transforms and new Gre
ates the soul; and which concentrates them for
ever upon the living God as its portion. Religion
in woman, as we'll in man, is not only &C of the
operation of Cod" but the result of reflection COM
parison, and choice. and consists in cheerful and
happy remuneration of all the heart holds DEAR for
Jesus Christ, and of every opposing interest for his
kingdom and glory. And this is her distinguished
excellence. Let the fear of God and the love Of
Jesus Christ control her domestic virtues; let the
humility, patience, faith, hope, charity and resigna
ton of the Gospel become interviewer with her per-
sonal accomplishments, and sweeten and govern
her conduct and how lovely is such woman
How infinitely superior are her charms to all the
destinations of beauty, all the spendor of external
accomplishment, and all sdelirious joys of gddy
dissipation!" How invaluable does such woman
appear, adorned and dgni6ed, not only by all that
earth can give but decked in the robes of that pety
and loneliness which earth neither give nor take
away

TO A FAIR YOUNG LADY.

WHEN Love away had fash'd aud fed
To leave life clouded, cold, and cherries,
And Fancy not halo shed
Around one form to make il peerless;
When quench'd Youths glowing lamp Of mirtl,
BY cares oppressed, by ease forsaken,
deem'd no power again on earth
The smother'd fame could more awaken.
UNTOUCHED my heart hath lain through years.
A weary weight, dreary number,
Till now thy heavenly face appears
Like sunshine calling it from slumber;
Thy voice is music from the skies
TO melt the hearts of men, and win them,
Young Peri, and thy gancing eyes
Have Heavens own radiant light within them.
oh could once more kind Time restore
To me the glow of boyhood's brightness,
And, clambering all their shadows DER,
NV thoughts regain their VANISHED lghtness;
oh could be as have been,
My heart would melt to thee in duty,
And Hope lume life's future scene
With the bright sunbow ofthy beauty.
1t cannot be--too late-ioo late
For me thy opening glory shineth;
Past hath the nuontide OF my fate;
Down western skies my sun declineth:
And, when the twilight hues of Time
Around me lower in Ages sadness,
Thou, in thy cloudless summer prime,
Wilt tread the sunny earth in gladness.
Most lovely sar-gem may no cloud
of sorrows ever gloom before thee;
And mayst thou walk amid Ear,h's crowd,
With Purity's white mantle DER thee;
From spot, from blemish ever free,
NAV Virtues guardian arm protect thee,
And Vice itself, admiring thee,
Blush for ler frailties, and respect thee.
Before thee may its opening flowers
Spring proffer in unbounded measure,
Bright be thy lot, may all Life's hours
Be cam'd to peace, or charm'd to pleasure
Late be the day that calls thee hence,
Brilliant thine years as eastern story,
And may thy pure souls recompense,
Be change of earth for endless glory!
