"While we thus walk among the ruins of
over us, and that feeling is by no means di-
minished when we arrive at home. If we
turn to our friends, we can hardly speak to
them before they bid US farewell We see
| them for little while, and in few mo-
ments they are sent away from US. 1t mat
ters not how near and dear they are. The
ties that bind us to them are never too close
to be parted or too strong to be broken.
Tears are never known to move the king of
terrors, nor is it enough that we are compell-
ed to surrender one or two or more of those
we love; for though the price is so great, we
buy no favor with it, and our hold upon those
who remain is as slight as ever.
"When few more friends have left, a
few more hopes deceived, and few more
changes Knocked us. I'VE shall be brought to
the grave, and the clods of the valley shall
be sweet unto us, and as many shall follow
us, as they were innumerable before us"
All power will have forsaken the strongest,
and the loftiest will be laid low; and every
heart will have ceased its beating and when
we have gone ourselves, even our memories
will not stay behind u.s. A few Of the more
near and dear will bear our likeness in their
bosoms, till they too have arrived at the end
Of their pilgrimage, and entered, the dark
dwelling Of forgetfullness. In the thoughts
of others, we shall live only till the last
sound of the bell, which informs them of our
departure, shall cease to vibrate in their
ears"

belonging to friend. or more generally to

by the civil authorities, and the child be-
comes heir-at-law to the property of its new
parents, and cannot be disinherited by any

en- advertising match-makers in Paris; and
every day in the year we find, in the hetiteS
1Hichcs, advertisements OF maids and
widows, with from $500 to csc, 900 fortune
The most celebrated of these match-makers
is a M. Nilliaume, man decidedly born
with the organ of conjunction, wherever it
may lie; and he has proved that great wit
to madness is nearly allied: the providing
for SO many damsels turned his brain, and
poor Nilliaume was sent to Charenton (Bed-
lam;) but his ruling passion was strong in
madaess; and one Of his projects on arriving
there was to mary all the iunatics to each
other.--fIis plan wta never to make ill-as-

inquired OF each crazy inmate what was his
ranl: in society and the state of his fortune;
and " was delighted to find that he was in
the ,ers cream of society. There were
couple Of enperors, five kings, princes,
dukes, marquises, counts, barons, and gem
erals in abundance. They all possessed
splendid fortunes. Villiaume catered every
item in book, and each signed the docu-
ment that concerned him nc Uarietnr; and
in another book they signed an engagement
to Villiaume to pay him a handsome per
centage on the fortunes of the ladies they
might marry. In the mean time, he found
means to get message sent to the female
ward. requesting the ladies to state their
ranks, ages, fortunes, &c. Answers came
from them all in the same style as that OF
the men; and Nilliaume anticipated gold
en- harvest. in the firm persuasion that all
the accounts furnished were accurate and un-
questionable. Unfortunately, few ice poul
tices on Nj. Villaune's head dssipated the
splendid dream, and he found the surest ne
gociations would be at his old establishment
in the Rue Neuve st. Eustache.

TIE LADIES' FRIEND.
YOUNG LADIES.

Next to mothers, the young ladies have
the greatest agency in forming the charac-
ters of the other sex. Their influence COM
mences at period when it is most needed
Young men, although their characters are
in great measure formed, require some
powerful restraints, just at the time when
they are becoming acquainted with the
world, and are beginning to move beyond
mothers eye. The young females, with
whom they associate, are the guardians of
their virtues, and accountable for most o.
the evil practices into which they fall. 1t
requires but little observation to be convinc.
ed that multitudes of young men, who are
destitute of religious principles, pursue that
line of conduct which is most likely to meet
the views of the young ladies with whom
they associate, and whose appreciation they
desire to obtain. There is not a vice prev
alcnt among them that would not be reln-
pushed, were it reprobated, and the perpe-
traitors Of it avoided by the young, the fash
,onable, and the intelligent of the sex. None
but the most hardened and impudent BIAS
phemer will even now utter an oath in the
presence of any respectable female IF the
omission to do good or to prevent evil, when
IN ones power, be crime, what tremcn-
aous account we shall have to render on the
score of profaneness. intemperance, gam
bling, and duellingl These practices which
disturb the peace of society, mar the happi-
ness of families, hurry multitudes to death,
perdition, and must ultimately call down the
Indignation of Heaven on our country, might
be greatly, if not entirely, exterminated, by
avlgorous and judicious effort on the part of
our sex. Let the practices themselves be
uniformly mentioned in terms of reprobation,
ana let us avoid those who pursue them as
we would the midnight assassin, or the
great adversary of God and man.
The Wilmingtonian, and Delaware advertiser., 1826-11-16

their better judgment to their fathers, or
husbands, but let them support the cause of
reason with all the graces of female gentle
ness.
A man in furious passion is terrible to
his enemies; but zoomQn, in a hassion is
disgusting 70 her friends; she loses all the
respect due 70 her sex, and she has not mas
culine strength and courage to enforce any
other kind Of respect. These crcumstan-
ces should be considered by those who adj
wise that no difference should be made in
the education of the two sexes.
The happiness and influence of women,
both as wives and mothers, and indeed, in
every relation, so much depends on their
temper, that it ought to be most carefully
cultivated We should not suffer girls to
imagine that they can balance ill humour by
some good quality or accomplishment, be-
cause, in fact, there are none that can sup
ply the want Of temper in the female sex.

1t is extremely rare to see French fam

PLEASURE.

Pleasure is to women what the sun is to
the flower; il moderately enjoyed, it beauti
fes, it refreshens, and it improves; if immo
derately enjoyed, it withers, violates, and
destroys But the duties of domestic life, ex-
ercised as they must be in retirement, and
calling forth all the sensibilties OF the fe-
male, are, perhaps, as necessary to the full
developing of her charms as the shade and
the shower are to the rose, con!inins its beau
ty and increasing its fragrance.
Without virtue, good sense and sweetness
OF disposition, the finest set Of features will,
ere long, cease to please-but, where these
with the graccs are united. it must afford an
agreeable and pleasing contemplation

I THE MINDS THE STANDARD OF THE MAN.
Ua!t.
Carlos is handsome, lively, gay,
And quite polite, the ladies say;
lie bears noble, manly port,
Is not too tall nor yet too short,
His dress is buckish, SNOWY, iine--
To sum up all, che cuts shine!"
His inind-you must excuse him there,
of other things he has his share, q
And, haply, more-but, as for wit,
Poor soul he has not got bit,
Yet still he moves with perfect ease,
And never fails the danes to please,
For dazzled by his bright exterior,
Carlos with them has no superior.
But he can chatter fast enough,
IF you will listen to his stuff;
And sometimes, too, this beau, so pretty,
Will strive to be most wondrous witty.
Once, passing down certain street,
A scavenger he CHANGED to meet
SO thinking he would smoke the clown,
And add somewhat to his renown,
He strutted up with brszen phiz,
Hoping the plebian to quiz.
"You take all rubbish here" he cried,
"Oh! yes-.jump in" the man replied.
A peal of laughter, long and loud,
Now burst from the surrounding crowd
Poor Carlos sneaked off, all forlorn,
His laurels tarnished, soied and torn
External SHOW and specious grace,
Are nought but ribbons, cambric, lacei
"A rustic garb, and artless mien,
Conjon'd with worth is often seen
Deny this axiom, who can,
