PRIDE.

Pride commences with our life, grows
with our growth, and spreads through
all our conversation and conduct. She
accompanies us through every stage,
condition aud circumstance Of our ter
%restrial course. She intermingles with
almost every action We perform, and
every pursuit in which we engage.
She attends US to the grave, in all the
pomp, %solemnity, and expense Of fune-
raj. She engraves her ostentatious in
scriptions on the o that covers the
Wondering body, and when that body
is incorporated with its original dust,
and these words Of vanity are no longer
legible, she attempts by escutcheons and
pedigrees, and genealogical legends, to
perpetuate the name which wisdom had,
perhaps consigned to oblivion. This is,
more or less, the foiblc, this the defor-
nifty, this the deep rooted vice Of all
mankind. Pride appears in the cottage
as we'll as in the palace. She sits Oh
the workman's bench as we'll as on the
monarch's throne. She struts driving a
flock of sheep, as well as marching at the
head Of a victorious army. One great
cause of wrath and contention and ran
cor among men, is, whose pride has a
right to indulgence; who is entitled to
hat pre-eminence, Of which both par
ties are, perhaps, equally unworthy; and
who is authorised to vindicate that SUI
periority at which all aspire, but which
the generality refuse to every one but
themselves.

TIGHT DRESSING.

One of Inc most striking follies of man
kind, in the present day, is the stupid no
mage they pay to fashion. In one part of
the world, a ~bandage is bound about the
feet of small children, to preserve their
delicacy by stopping their growth; in an
other, two boards are placed on the head
in infancy, one behind and another before,
and tied together, to ~flatten, clongate and
beautify the Uranium. La our own coun-
try, the " human form divine," is distorted
by application Of splints and bandages, as
though the form of the body could be i'm
proved by being confined in the surgeons
apparatus for dressing broken bones.
Stomach boards stiffen the body and de-
stroy the easy and graceful motion for
which it is by nature SO admirably fitted;
they moreover tend much to the displace-
ment of parts which in their natural situa-
ton and form add greatly to female beau
ty. Tight lacing, with or without stomach
boards, prevents the free motion of the ribs
necessary to easy breathing, confines the

He died, as born, a Catholic in faith,
Like most in the belief in which they're bred,
And first a little crucifx he kiss'd,
And then held out his jugular and wrist.
The sailors ate him, all save three or four,
Who were not quite so fond of animal food;
To these was added Juan, who, before
Refusing his own spaniel, hardly could
Feel now his appetite increased much more;
Twas not to be expected that he should,
Even in extremity OF their disaster,
Dine with them on his pastor and his master.
Twas better that he did not for, in fact;
The consequence was awful in the extreme:
For they, who were mot ravenous in the act,
Went raging mad-Lord! how they did bias.

And foam and roll, with strange convulsions rack'd
Drinking salt water like a mountain stream;
Tearing, and grinuipg, bowling, screechins. swear.
And, with hyana laughter, died Departing.
Their numbers were much thinn'd by this infection,
And all the rest were thin enough, heaven knows;
Add some Of them had lost their recollection,
Happier than they who still perceived their woes;
But others ~pondered on a new dissection,
As if not warned sufficiently by those
Who had already pcri,h'd suffering madly,
For having used their appetite so sadly.
And next they thought upon the masters mate,
As latest but he saved himself, because,
Besides being much averse from such a fate,
There were SOM other reasons the first was,
lie had been rather indisposed oflate.
And that which chiefly proved his saving clause,
Was a small present made to him - Cadiz,
BY general subscription Of the ladies.
Of poor Pedrillo something still remand,
But was used sparingly-some were afraid,
And others still their appetite CONSTRAINED,
Or but at times a little supper made
All except Juan, who throughout abstain'd,
Chewing a piece OF bamboo, and some lead
AT length they caught two boobies, and a noddy,
And then they lett off eating the dead body.
And if Pedrillo's fate should shocking be,
Remember Ugolino condescends
To eat the head OF his arch-eneny,
The moment after he politely ends

When shipwreck's short allowancc grows too scan.

lungs, and diminishes the chamber in
which the heart beats as it fills with blood,
and frequently interrupts its action and
produces fainting. From this practice
arises difficult breathing, palpitation, acute
or low infiammatory actions which are ia
BILE to result in adhesions OF contiguous
parts, pain in the side, cough and c'nsump-
ton. This practice ha, its %ei:octs, too,
upon the organs, in the upper rart OF the
body, particularly the tom!acn and Nv
er. Comp %ession, here exertcd, impedes
the delicate processes going on in these
organs, the natural and easy condition Of
which is essential to health. In this way
foundation is laid for dyspepsia, with its
train of attendants.
When tight lacing is adopted, as it Of
ten is, at the age Of II, II or 10, lis mis-
chievous effects are in a great measure ir-
remediable. The capacity OF the chest is
permanently diminished, SO that during the
natural growth Of those parts which are
confined, the lungs are prevented from en-
volving to their natural and necessary ex-
tent, thus establishing n permanent dis
proportion between the breathing and cir
CuldtiilR SyStcm, OF between Tue greater ana
lesser circulations. This ~disproportion ge-
nerates arrangement Of functions in vital
organs, which tends TO produce a diseased
structure that medicine cannot remove.
The principal object in employing the
tight dressing apparatus, is to bring about
such an Iteration in the form ofthe body
as to throw it out ofall natural p%roporti on.
This alteration, however satisfactory it
may be to the individual, is a violation of
acknowledged principles of beauty. An
inspection of the exquisite models of Gre
clan sculpture which have come down 70
us, and which, because true to nature,
have stood the test Of criticism for tpenty
centuries, and still command the homage Of
genius, as combining all that delights in
native symmetry or elegant proportion,
clearly shows the absurdty of that stan
dard which distorts the finest forE,s, changes
them into a resemblance of certain insect
tribes, and revolts and sickens at the rich
est and fairest proportions with which the
God Of nature has blessed the world.

1t is a fault to speak any thing unne-
cessarily to the disadvantage of others.
We have only to put ourselves in their
places to feel how we should like such
liberties to be taken with our own char
acter; that consideration would set the
matter always in a just light.

The Howard packet ship from Havre has ar

but the commercial and financial intelligence
brought by this ship, is Of imneasurably deep
er interest than the life or death Of any king or
potentate A panic seems to have seized upon
tile public mind to an alarming extent, and IS,
indeed, according to Mr.. Baring's resolution,
the chief cause Of the existing distress.
The Greeks too, are we fear, in great jeopar-
DIV. The Turkish feet, with their transports
