CIRCUMSTANCES,

Being sometime since in the town OF
W--d, my conversation was interrupted
by some children, who ran into the room and
exclaimed, "Father, Father, Sister E.,
has bought Circumstance, what is it Fa-
theri" "Surely nv son you have got wrong
name for the article she has purchased" /"
mo sir, / have not, you may go and ask SIS
ter F. if it isn't a Circumstance, and she
says she bot it at Mr. BIS shop, and she
told sister l. it would last longer than a
thousand wooden ones" Alter business
with my friend was over, had the curiosi-
ty to go to Mr.. BIS shop, and inquire
what this new article was-and was inform
ed it was piece of steel from s to Is inches
in length and from an to inches in
breadth, highly polished and flexible, worn
by the fashionable and the fair sex, to i'm
prove their shape, where nature had been
amiss in duty. Egad thought I, this is a
happy invention; how is it, said l to the shop
man, that you who work entirely in wood,
should be applied to, TO make them? Why,
| said he, they are made of Old Saw plates
which are wore out at my shop, and the de-
mand for Circumstances, ha ha ha u! has
got to be so great that we are obliged to draw
upon our neighbors for Old Sa7vS, Shovel
| Plates, &c. an Old Saw or Shovel, with a
very little filing will make ten or dozen,
so that we make profitable business in sell
ing them for one or two shillings piece, ha!
ha ha Egad thought again, we knights
of the Pill Cart shall henceforth reap great
er crops of the consumption, dyspepsia, &c
than usual; our pockets will be better lined

ways prevail Let neatness, order, judg-

ments. Unite liberality with a just frugali-
ty; always reserve something for the hand

well fed, well clothed, nursed in sickness,
and never unjustly treated.
could as easily write volume upon this
interesting subject, as the short letter which
you now receive. But am persuaded, it is
of more Importance to lead you "to reflect in
time upon the essential means of securing
matrimonial happiness" than to enter into
more minute detail Without such refcc-
tons, you would expect an effect, when the
sufficient cause was removed. In short
there are two or three ways Of gaining wis
dom. If we are to be taught by our own ex-
perience, the cost is too often immense. II
by experience of all those who have gone be-
fore us, the cost to us is nothing; we set out
Alright, and the path we have entered upon
will every day become more pleasant.
That you may enjoy mutual happiness
is the fervent prayer OF your atfeotlonate ia
