sfWe are aware that our enemies. taking advan-
tage of that regulation which excludes females from
our lodges have endeavored to pre- iudice you
against US and We are aware that, in less civilized
period, they have but too well succeeded. But
VIC trust, We believe, that our fair country-women
are too enlightened too tolerant, to be actuated by
motives which governed the naughty and tyrannl-
cal Elizabeth of England, or which influenced the
corrupt and essolutc females of Vienna, when they

sincere and particularly to extend towards the
widows and orphans OF brother nasAns, the same
Teat and affection that we would have gwen to
their husbands and fathers in their lfetlmes. lie
reasons why females are excluded from our lodges,
are sufficiently obvious Masonry was originally,
as we have seen, operative actually engaged il

gard and respect-not contempt or su -picon-and
when, in process of time, masonry ceased to be
operative, and became speculative, the fraternity
preserved the ancient land marks and regulations,

in SO doing for though man, tated to engage ~
all the tolls and turmolls Of this world, BY nature
turbulent and violent, may need all the aids and

and oblgations--to woman, lovely woman born
to bloom and flourish best in calm domestic quiet,
whose avocations rarely lead her beyond the Intel

True female beauty does not consist III
any particular form, or external appearance
alone; but in symmetry and elegance, to-
gether with the asscmb!age OF those interest
inc qualities which adorn and render their
persons permanently pleasing. A mere ex-
ternal beauty may attract momentarily, but
something else is requisite to secure the af-
fections; the first impressions produced by
mere external beauty soon wear away : but
it is the internal worth and beauty which
give daily increasing pcrmanence to the So
clal affections. Hence one reason why men
are often reproached with Inconsistency of
love; their feelings are interested and their
affection excited by a display Of external
beauty; but a more intimate acquaintance
convinces us that they arc destitute of the
@raccs and charms which render those feel
ngs strong and lasting.
Let the female then who is DESTROYS to
shine as beauty, attend to intellectual I'M
provemeut a, OF first concern; let her che
rish health. which itself is beauty: let her lay
aside those foolish and prejudicial fashions.
which have so much power over persons of
disordered minds; who conceive that beau
ty is best displayed in artificial, pale, and
sickly forms; let her use frequent and ac-
tive exercise, which gives health and vigour;
let her indulge and cultivate every virtue );
tor every virtue sits with peculiar grace on

ADVENT OF THE. MARTINS.

These harbingers of spring, after having
without any outfit, performed the duties OF
their mission to South America, have sent

1MPROMPTU,
To young Lady on presenting me cake IN form
Of a heart.
And Rachel will you give your heart
To sad misfortune's wayward child
And with boon so precious part,
For one by sad a0liction spoiPdf
Say, shall take in my fond care,
The dearest pledge to mortals given,
And with affection place il near
Thy hapless friends, by sorrow riven'
Then give it hcre-yes, give it here,
And will ever fondly cherish,
With warm affection, one so dear,
Till every pulse of life shall perish.
And then thought how flecting time,
Would sudden pa its sceptre Ger,
And doom me to distant cline,
Where may never see thee more:
but yet, something told my heart,
'Twould cherish thee tho far apart.

the severe and dangerous situation OF Lord

a severe attack Of the palsy and apoplexy,
from which he was not expected to recover.
Mr.. Canning continued i'll at the last advices
from London.-The illness Of those distin-
guished and leading men, had caused great
panic in the Stock Market, and the funds
had fallen two per cent. One of the let
ters says, "You know the great corn question
was to be brought forward on the 26th,-
what will be done now we cannot say; but
the subject will most probably be further
postponed until some change takes place in
the situation of Lord Liverpool and Mr..

Destruction of Insects.-As the season OF
vegetation approaches, remark upon the
application of tobacco water in the destruc-
tion OF insects may not be amiss. In the pro-
cess Of preparing tobacco for use, liquid is
finally expressed from it, which is very
cheap, and highly destructive to animal life
This mixed with three to five parts water,
is found to be an eilectual remedy, for the
aphies, caterpillars, and similar insects
which infcst fruit trees.

Snare for taking The Red Deer IL the He
brides.--A wall or rampant OF stone was e
rec.ed along the side of a mountain, thanking
a considerable part near its basis; at either
extremity pit was formed concealed by a
circumference Of the same stones which
formed the rampant. In this pit the hunter
stationed himself with his gun. A number
of people were then employed to alarm the
deer, who instantly taking to the mountain
and meeting with the wall, ran along the
side of it till they came TO the pit in which
the sentinels were posted, who easily level
led them with their muskets. They are
now extinct in some of the islands, having
been extirpatsd by eagles. One would
think it Incredible than All eagle should ven
ture to attack so large an animal as the stag
of the great red deer The mode in which
the natives account for it is, that the eagles
plunge upon his head and fasten themselves
between the horns. The stag thus driven
to madness, rushes headiong over some pre-,
.cipce, when the eagle disengagcs himself
from his disabled victim, and devours hlm at
leisure. -Clarke's Life.
