MISS FRANCES WRIGHT.

This lady delivered her second lecture last

TRANsPLANTING EvEReREENs The unfading
verdure Of the resinous trees forms a pleasant
relief 10 the eye, amid the desolate fields and
snow-crowned hills Of winter. These beauti-
fu inmates Of the northern forests, are peculi.
arly intrac able to the skill Of cultivation. The
spruce and the fir, when removed from the cold
and bleak solitudes where they best love TO fix
their roots and send up their tall pyramids Of
green to more genial situation, wiiher and
perish. These beautiful and stately plants are
desirable as the ornaments of the garden or the
groves of cultivated scenery. The English
books recommend That they be removed in the
depth of winter with frozen masses of earth a.
round their roots, I" holes dug for their reeep-
ton during the preceding autumn. By this
simple process, it is said, they may be trans
planted without injury, and flourish in their
freshness as If still clinging to the rock or ris.
ing in the waste. Mass. Egis.

fcoNnUNIcATED.1.

Mr.. Editor: The opinions aud wishes Of the
fairer part Of creation, have always treated
with becoming difference; bu, in one instance.
which am about to cite, beg an excuse
The ladies have the granted preroga,ive of re-
gula,ing their "innoeent amusemtn rs," as your
fair correspondent, Miss Touch wood, has been
pleased to call them; hu, when these are carri-
ed beyond the verge of proprety, think it but
just that the men, TO whose happiness or mise
~ every &C, Of the other sex in some measure
tends, should have word in the business.
Messrs. Beu,ham and Bankhead have fully
shown the disagreeableness Of morning visits,
and proposed plans for their remedy, which it
Is not my intention to do; bu, meielv to make a
few remarks concerning Miss Touchwood, who
has been SO bitter upon my friend Bankhead.
OF the innoeen, amusement Of walking about
town, a single word. II in nothias else, the
ladies might be better employed in reading, or
in huusewifery; for / have myself seen some
half dozen Of the fair butterflies fiuirg abou'
from store to stole yexing The merchan 5, by
making them pull down half their goods-and
for what! TO satisfy female curiosity, or to sell
yauze handkerchief! This is no, all: they
become worse, as TO ideness, than set of o.
ner ne ~smongers, or bevy Of King-street po-
lilicians.
To Miss Is. very grave quesiion-Who
would not give up the mere sensual grs'i6ca.
ton Of eating, to the intellectual pleasures Of
CONVERSATIONAL make answer, that will not.
There is time for all things, saws the pro-
yerb-a time for conversation and a time for
eating, and &c Mi.- 7 -; and

like the Peris of the eastern poets, who subsis,

no spicure, Mr.. Editor, but take it that hot
dinner is better than cold one, and cold one
better than none at all. Of the "ersrcise" la
dies derive from visiting, and the pleasure to be
CLEANED from empty tattle and busy interior ence
in other peoples matters, (for Miss T. seems
to think them her especial province) leave ii
70, your readers TO Judge. That The practice
Of ceremonial visiting should be encouraged
because a death, an arrival, Sc. can be known
half an hour sooner than in the ortling
course Of things, think suits Miss rs. dispo
sition exactly; who, il conjecture righ', is one
Of ,ha. unfortunate class Of persons y'cleped

own, either fall IN love with the character oil
Pau PRIV, oil become idle retailers Of tea-table
gossip. She talks very boldly ahour the whims
and csprices Of husbands, but this will not maxi
mt rr,ract my ecnjre'ars; for it is not that she

will do so ,chsn she gets husband. God help
