fruit, without any previous decay All this was
mystery that could not unriddle, till, on be

proved the hue Of my lips at the expense of
far one, who unthlnkingy had turned her
cheek and found that my kisses were given (as
is observed in the epigram) like those of Pyra-
mus, through wall. | then discovered, that
this surprising youth and beauty was all coun-
terielt; and that Gas Hamlet says) "God had

off half lady's face by salute, that yo,E

ly make its way into the country. as this vamp-
ed complexion would not stand against the rays
of the sun, and would inevitably melt away in
country dance The ladies have, indeed been
always the greatest enemies to their own beau
ty, and seem to have design against their own
faces. At one time the whole countenancc was
cclpsed in black velvet mask; at another it
was blotted with patches and al present it is
crusted over with plaster Of Paris In those
battered bellies who still aim at conquest, this
practlcels IN some sort excusable but it is surely
as ridiculous in young lady to give up beauty
for paint as it would be to draw good set of
teeth merely to fill their places with row Of
ivory.
Indeed so common is the fashion among the
young as we'll as the old, that when am in
group of beauties, | consider them as so many
pretty pictures, looking about me with as little
emotion as do at Hudson's: and if any thing
fills me with admiration, it is the judicious ar

and fancyo And how many streams Of charity
do they fill, which, without them, would be dry ?
II should be loath to have these suggestions
misunderstood or perverted plead not for ex-
cess and profusion Of apparel Extravaganza
and fnery in dress | would censure and con
denim A fop, or belle I would hold in steady
contempt All attention to personal appearance,
which excludes higher and more important OBJ
jects from the mind is inconsistent with pure
religion. Against the splendour galety, and
tickleness of fashions, the pure and unassuming
influence Of christian plety is natvely arrayed
And vanity, splendour, and extravaganza in
clothing, are the result of vitiated taste and
never become the person half so we'll as beau
tiful simplicity and neatness But while say
this, | cannot believe that the religion of the
gospel requires that we should have no regard
to the feelings and opinions of human society
or that we should divest ourselves of that self
respect, which renders US respected and useful
in the world,
It's possible these thoughts may offend. But
sure am |, they present no cause Of offence TO
in some of our most excellent females in rela-
ton to the article of dress, that requires more
prayerful determination than it has received
For myself, do not believe there is any thing
praise worthy in that spirit of female curiosity,
which interferes with the dress Of her fellow
citizens, and would reduce the taste of the com
muni'y TO one standard And | have always
found that those females who are the most Off
cious in these matters, are, with few EXCEPTIONS
the very persons who would lead the fashion, if |
it were in their power. To such persons would
say, the spirit of God aiiirms of yrtuous wo-
man, that all her household are clothed IN scar
let that she maketh herself COVERINGS of lanes
try; and that her clothing is silk and pwple."

SKETCHES IN VERSE.

There are few of our readers who have not read
some of the Fugitive Poems which have appeared
in the public prints over the signature of "Roy"-
In point of exquisite imagery, refined sentiment,
and beautiful metaphor they have no parallels
among the periodical poetry of our country, and
we have frequently amened the circumstance Of
these brilliant eflusons receiving no better fate
than the transient existence assigned them through
the medium of newspapers. The talented Young
gentleman. their author is student in Yale Col
lege, and at the last commencement of that nstitu
ton composed and delivered poem Of high clas
steal merit, from which we gave elegant extract
a few weeks since He is engaged in prepar
ing small volume to be entitled "Sketcbes, in
Verse;" which will appear in the course of short
time from the press of Mr.. Goodrich of Boston. Il
would be work of supererogation to recommend
the attention of readers to the perusal Of this
book on its appearance, for confident that all
who have read the productions of MIR. Willis will
become the possessors OF his " Sketches in Verse;"
not only to derive pleasure from the perusa but to
evlnce their refined taste Phil album.
