FIRST STORY.


EDWARD DUNCoMB and ADELIA WooDyIILE were
attached in very early lfe they pursued their studies
under the same roof and therefore had many opport-
mites of seeing and conversng with each other; and
many of the faulty Latin exercises of Edward could
have been traced to the overwhelming influence of the
captivating Adelia for instead of exerting his talents
linguist he spent the most of his time in writing
poetry and billet-doux to his beloved fair one At
length of these unfortunate notes fell into the hands
of his preceptor, who deemed his duty not only to
punish the enamored boy, but to lay the case before
his GUARDIAN stern old uncle and the parents of AIDE
liza this creatsd quite excitement in both families,
and the conse hence was the removal of Adelia from
the seminary, in wing of which these offending CON-
munications were manufactured. She was most posi-
lively forbidden to hold any intercourse, directly or in
directly, with the young student, whose family and for

walking party and both too much occupied with their
own concerns to pay any particular attention to the
other. Edward was affectionate and eloquent; the
young heart of Adelia yielded to his pleadngs and

ister' who was to unite them in the bonds of marimo
ny; when the strong mind Of Adelia exerted its ac
cusomed vgor, and she absolutely refused to proceed;
every argument that love could devise was lost up
on her, for the last struggle ended and her decis
ion was made. She begged to be taken Immediately
home; carriage was procured and Edward lifting
her in, seated himself beside her. He addressed her
in these memorable words "Adelia your cruel and
wavering behaviour has ruined ME forever; my warm
cherished hopes are bighted, and am lost yes! lost

feelings were far beyond the power of rtterance and
the vehicle drew up at the of the street,

Edward silently escorted her, and his cold parting bow
was not forgotten And although part of that
night spent in tears, she comfored under the

1t is as gratifying to the lovers of hu-
manity, as it is to the admirers of female
beauty, to see the strong hold which the
public mind is beginning to take of this e.
vii. 1t is easier, however, to trace the
monster by his evil doings, the delormed
shapes, withered vitals, dislocated frames,
broken constitutions, premature graves,
sorrowful hearts Of parents, lovers, hus-
bands, friends, which he has produced,
than to point out the means of his effectu-
al destruction.
Fashion we cannot destroy, nor deth,on
nor hold in check. Fashions mag change,
as those of us who have lived long enough
have seen them change, in regard to the
practice now under consideration. But
whatever he the modification, fashion is
fashion still and let idle moraIists speak
as they will its sway is no more despotic
in the polished city than in the country
village, the remote hamlet, or among the
lodges Of the wilderness.
1t seems to me that some recent reyolu.
tons in the habits and sentiments of soci-
ETY. point out to Us the secret Of reaching
the evil now in question. When the cur
rent Of usage or Of feeling sets too forcibly
IN given course, the only efficient means
OF checking its excess is to give it a DOW
eriul impulse in the contrary direction.
Barriers and mounds across a raging tor
rent only make it rage and foam and fret
the more. and by lifting up its flood on
high, give it still holder impetus than
that which was before dreaded.
The great secret Of the effect produced
by the temperance societies is, that thew
preached and practised "totat abstinence"
There is no such thing as keeping people
moderate in fashion more than in drink
ing. There are certain persons, who have
wealth, or personal beauty, or indepen-
dence, or self.government enough to make
them contented with being moderately
fashionable: but those who are deficient
in any of those particulars (aad how few
are not y have always a tendency to the
extreme of the mode.
1T follows that those who are qualified
Tor that service, ought forthwith to give
the current of fashion a powerful turn in
the opposite direction. This fashion has
prevailed long enough. And certainly it
has done mischief enough, and cost lives
enough. Let it be changed, and let the
voice of the arbilers OF the beau monde be
" total abstinence fromtigM Lacing." That
voice never was disobeyed, and il will no,
be now. Let it respond at once to the call
of humanity.
Nor need the fair, or their admirers. an.

unpleasant and extremely dangerous ad-

as 1t has done on many other occasions.
Travelling with frie nd, and having no
apprehension OF danger, we were suddenly
attacked by three bandi,ti, being part of
a gang of seven, we'll mounted and well
armed, with their faces BACKED and look
ing more like devils than human beings.
We had merely time to form line OH one

pistols was loaded, and charged with nv

directly at Inc with his sabre to cut me
down. l waited quietly until he came
within six feet of me, when shot him
through the body; he fell on the neck of

ground together. His compari ions seeing
this, became intimidated but after little

out armed and gave pursuit, when soon

grace and beauty by ths,change.' Fashion
governs taste in these matters. Let them
:" ask the fathers" and they will certify,
that years ago. when tight lacipg was un-
known, female forms were rs graceful, and
female beauty as admir- able, and female
excellence as lovely. as they have ever
been made by any ofthe grding or screw.
ing processes Of modern times.
Let me add, that though I am firm
friend OF the temperance reformation, and
am well pleased to have the influence Of
the female sex enlisted in it, in every USE
ini mode, yet do think the reformation
from tight lacing is their more appropriate
sphere. Let all the men join the Temper
ate Society. and venture to predict that
our ladies' will, show equal self denial and
zeal in falling into the ranks of the Com

even supposing any of the children possessed
