execution. They have not done so.-In these
latter times therefore, certain womez. haze been
seen to change the tone of decency and honour for

not feared to wear embroidered teredges, and con-
demnable colours, and go to the public walks with
extraordinary wells, which suffer their faces to be
seen.
"Such conduct is equally contrary to the divine
law, and to my supreme will 1t is evident that the
Government must put stop to such Irregular

to take care that their wives do not 60 out in a
dress which, being irreconcileable to decency and
honour, cannot be suitable to Musselmen women.
I" Henceforward therefore, the women shall not
wear embroidered feredges, condemnable colors,
nor wells artfully contrived to show their faces !;

answerable, and punished for the conduct of their
women.

ADVANTAGES OF EDUCATION.

love of learning and study of Nature % said Ceon
to Aristppus, as they were walking one day under
the portico of Minerals Temple, at Athens; will
they furnish us with splendid equipages will they
fill our portcos with attendants or will they
bic us to give rich banquets to our friends p "Not
one of all these" replied Arstippus. "Will
they protect us from legal outrage will they hull
the poisoned tongue of calumny; or will they rem
der sacred, that misfortune cannot reach us :"
g Far from it. >" What then will they do for us ?'
inquired Cleon, with some degree of exultation-
If there were no other advantages arising from
them than this" returned Aristippus cit were suf-
fcient they enable us to chastise the mean by our
contempt, the envious by our smiles, the malicious
by our silence, and the sordid by our scorn /" E.

The education of men is intended to answer |

one it is intended to improve the qualities with
which they were born it is intended to prevent
modesty from dwindling into an unbecoming awk-
wartness, simplicity from becoming prey to the
ensnarer, and mind unemployed in business from
being absorbed by ignorance. She who is adorned
with education that these purposes, may,
without effort, secure to herself that respect in the
eyes of men. which refinement pursues, and affec-
tation signs for in vain Nor will these ornaments
be thought of little value, when it is remembered,
that in each of them beauty finds an instrument of
authority nor can she part with of them with
out proportonably diminishing her prerogative.

kingdom, at the commencement of the
shooting season, and, in order to avoid
the imputation Of being a downright ig-
noramus, he was under the necessity Of
taking gun, and at the dawn of day set
ting forth in pursuit Of game. Unwill-
ing to expose his want Of skill, he took
an opposite course to that Of his friend,
and was accompanied by game keeper,
provided with bag to receive the birds
which might fall victims to his attacks,
and pair of excellent pointers. The
game-keeper was true Pat, and possess
ed all those arts Of blarney which are
known to belong to bis countrymen and
thinking it imperative on him to be par
ticularly attentive to his masters friend
he lost no opportunity of praising his
proves. The first covey (and the birds
were abundant) rose within few yards
OF the statesman's nose, but the noise
they made was so unexpected, that be
waited till they were "out of harms
way" before he fired. Pat, who was on
the lookout, expressed his surprise, and
Immediately observed, Faith, Sir, see
you know what gun is-its well you
wasn't nearer, or them chaps would be
sorry you ever came into the country"-
Sheridan reloaded, and went on, but bis
second shot was not more successful
'Oh! J cried Pat, swhat an escape; I'll
be bound you rumpled some of their fea-
TIERS The gun was loaded again, and
on went our Senator; but the third shot
was as little effective as the two former.
'Hah = exclaimed, Pat, although aston

again. Master was too near TO be plea
SAINT SO he went on, shot after shot, and
always had something to say to console
poor Sheridan. who was not a little a.
unused at his ingenuity.
At last, on their return home, without
bird in the bag, Sheridan perceived
covey quietly feeding on the other side
of the hedge, and unwilling to give them
chance of flight, be resolved to have a
slap at them on the ground. He did so;
bu! to his mortific alton, they all flew
away untouched. Pat, whose excuses
were now almost exhausted, still had
something to say, and he joyfully ex-
claimed, looking at Sheridan, very signi-
ficantly, you made them lave that, any
way! and with this compliment to bis
sportsmanlike qualities, Sheridan closed
his mornings amusement, laughing hear
tily at his companion, and rewarding him
with half crown for his patience and
encouragement.

GENOESE CUSTOMS.

Marriage at Genoa is a m after of call
culation, perhaps more SO than any where
else; it is generally settled between the
relations, who often draw up the contract
before the parties have seen one another,
and it is only when every thing else is
arranged and few days previous to the
marriage ceremony, that the future hus-
band is introduced to his intended part
ner for life. Should he find fault with
her figure or manners, he might break off
the match, on condition of defraying the
expenses incurred But this is seldom
the case; the principal object, that Of in
terest, being once settled, the bride fol-
lows the portion as matter of course,
and is often scarcely minded There are
in this city marriage brokers, who have
pocket books filled with the names of
manageable girls Of different classes,
with notes descriptive of their figures and
their fortunes: these people go about en-
deavoring to arrange connexions if they
succeed, they get a commission of two
or three per cent. upon the portion. The
contents Of their memorandums are often
very curious.
Foresight.-The overthrow of some
persons fortunes, and the sudden rise Of
those OF others, are worthy subjects of
reflection; consequently, says French
observer, | never give aims to beggar
without saying to him" Friend, think

Purified Pyrolig Acid,


TIME use ofthis article appears 20 be per.
L feet substitute for the common process of
smoking meat Very numerous experiments
have established the fact, that the favour of
meat prepared in this manner, is fully equal,
if not superior to that given in the common
mode of smoking. For safety, convenience,
economy, cleanliness and dispatch, this mode
seems to possess advantages over the common
one.
There are two modes in which this acid is
used, with perhaps equal success. One is,
to mix It with the pickle which is put to the
meat, in the proportion Of "nc quartto $50 to
200 pounds Of meat. It not material whe.
ther this be done when the meat is first sailed
or not. 1t should be suffered to remain three
or four weeks and then taken out and hung
up in any convenient place to dry.
The other mode, is simply to battle over
a piece of meat with the acid, once, twice,
three or four times, according to its size. In
either mode, the quantity Of acid necessary
will be about the same.
The proportion Of one quart to 200 pounds
of meat will be found enough to suit the taste
of some-others will be better pleased with
more.
Experiments are easily made. For salo by

Extract from . letter, dated

"Ne,v- Orleans, 10th Dec. ls25.-The
business of this place continues very
backward, and the arrivals of Cotton
fall considerably short of what has
been usually received at this period OF
the season. Sales up to this time have
been extremely limited, and confined
mostly to fine qualities, at l6 l7!c.

Factories. Very little, however, as
high as la III. The demand for
low and inferior qualities is still more
heavy-,he last sales of this descrip-
ton were at Is, IA and l5c. Prices
must decline before there will be any
thing Of consequence done for the Bri-
fish markets and as the Northern fac
tories and French orders are now in
great measure supplied, it is supposed
rates here will become subordinate to
the Liverpool currency. What have
before observed regarding the quality
and quantity of the crop is fully con-
hrmed
1t is row pretty well ascertained
that the crop Of Sugar will be short Of
that of last year-the quality is, how
ever, unusually good. Sales have been
made at &c. and some planters are
holding at 7c. which rate they are
likely 10 obtain, in the course Of a month
or six weeks. The supply of Molas'

order to save one hundred dollars, the office
had been abolished, much to the inconveni.
ence Of that section of the country. The
petition was signed by upwards of two hun
dred respectable persons, most OF whom
were owners of vessels or otherwise concern
ed in navigation, and was referred to the
Committee on Commerce.
