M people can generate the emphatic and character
lstlc sneer OF pride quicker, more strongly, on
their countenances. 1t is their pride that induces
them to affect this Indifference for that it is affect
ed we had numberless opportunities to discover. 1t
is with them not only pride, but calculation, to hold
In seeming contempt things which they are aware
they cannot obtain and possess.
As regards their vanity, and that part of the
species upon which it is supposed to operate with

such character constantly occupied with his paints
and his pocket glass full three hours, ying on his
colours, and arranging his tresses, and contemplate

progress of his growing attractions. When he has
finished, the proud triumph of irresistible charms

dress, have one, two, or three broad clasps OF
silver abUnt their arms generally jewels in their
ears, and often in their nose, and nothing is more
common than to see thin circular piece of silver,
the size of dollar, depending from their noses, IA
little below their upper lip. Thi- ornament, so
painfully nconyenent, as it is evidently to them.
