my cravat was squat up in half a shake.
AT the next bout, smash went shirt collar.
and, at the same time, some of the head
lastenings gave way, and down came Sal
ly's hair in flood, like mill dam broke
loose, carrying away half dozen combs.
One dig Sally's elbow, and my bloom

fair, however, I must own, and neither

could fight no longer, for want of breath,
she yielded handsomely. Her arms fell

MORE HINTS TO PEOPLE OF MODERATE
FORTUNE,

FORTUNE.
There is one kind of extravaganza rap
idly increasing in this country, which in
Its effects ON our purses and habits is one
of the worst kinds of extravaganza l
mean the rage for travelling, and for pub
lick amusements. The good old home
habits of our ancestors are breaking up
it will be we'll if our virtue and our free
dom do not follow them! 1t is easy to
laugh at such prognosticks,-and we are
well aware that the virtune we preach is
considered almost obsolete, but let any
rejecting mind inquire how decay has be-
gun in all republicks, and then let them
calmly ask themselves whether we are in
no danger in departing thus rapidly from
the simplicity and industry of our FORE
fathers.
Nations do not plunge at once into ruin
governments do not change suddenly
the causes which bring about the final
blow are scarcely perceptible in the begin
ming but they increase in numbers, and
in power; they press harder and harder
upon the energies and virtue of people !;
and the last steps only are alarmingly hur-
ried and irregular. A republick without
industry, economy, and integrity, is Sam
son shorn of his locks. A luxurious and
idle repubick! Look at the phrase -
the words were never made to be married
together-every body sees it would be
death to one Of them.
And are not zoe becoming luxurious and
idle? Look at our steam boats, and sta
ges, and taverns! There you will find
mechanicks, who have left debts and en-
ployment to take care Of themselves, while
they go to take peep at the great canal,
or the opera-dancers. There you will find
domesticks all agog for their wages-worth
of travelling; why should they look out
for i" a rainy day Z" There are hospitals
enough to provide for them in sickness !;
and as for marrying, they have no idea Of
that, till they can find man who will
support them genteely. There you will
find mothers, who have left the children
at home with Betsey, while they 60 to i'm
prove their minds at the Mountain House,
or the Springs.
If only the rich did this, all would be
well. They benefit others, and do not in
jure themselves. In any situation idle
ness is their curse, and uneasiness is the
tax they must pay for affiuence; but their
restlessness is as great a benefit to the
community as the motions of Prince Ester
hazy, when at every step the pearls drop
from his coat.
People of moderate fortune have just
as good right to travel as the wealthy /;
but is it not unwise Do they not injure
themselves and their families You say
travelling is cheap: so is staying at home.
Besides, do they count all the costs?
The money you pay for stages and
steam boats is the smallest Of the items.
There are clothes bought which would moi
otherwise be bought; those clothes are
worn out and defaoed twenty times az

HARD TIMES.

All cry out hard times. Every body in
debt and nothing to pay with. Well then
We must be indulgent to one another, as
we must stand in need of indulgence.
Now is the time to reform-to study
Ieconomy--curtail expenses-simplify the
tashion-to wear out old coats-to lessen
gown patterns-diminsh exteriour d.
mansions of bonnets-let our hats down
one story-and TO bring into vogue once
more our good old substantial homespun
check" and stripe'-lambs wool and
worsted. The ladies, dear creatures,
must set the example. They must turn
their harps and pianos into looms and
spinning wheels, and shine out of Sab
bath in all the glory and splendor of home-
spun. No more rustling of silk nor dis
play of laces, when calico and cotton
fringe will do as well, and, as the saying
is, come much cheaper. Besides, as re-
trenchment is the word, let out your plaiis
and tacks and lesson your patterns. There
is drapery enough in one of your modern
fashionable sleeves to bedeck the whole
body in folds and fur beloes.
1t is good time, too, to establish tenn
perate societies, and cheap living socie-
ties,to make pound cake of Indian meal e.
molasses, and restore gluttons from the
consequences of surfeiting, by combining
them to bean porridge and homminy. We
must not forget to mention that it is in
contemplation among the ladies of our ac-
qnaintance to form an anti-cake society,
the members to be bound to offer but two
kinds instead Of half dozen. A good
thought, and let one of them be the good
old Indian hammock. Let the reform ex-
tend both to food and pbysick, and the
doctors prescribe white mustard instead
of jalap and ipecack. Indeed, if the pro-
posed retrenchment in eating and drinking
takes place, the doctors will starve for all
the physick that will be wanting. No
other sudorfcks will be needed than sage
and catnip. We did intend to recom-
mend an anti-hyson society, but our
blessed helpmate threatens to raise dust
if we say word about introducing bohea,
and to avoid breeze we have concluded
not to interfere with the trade of China at
present.
Honestly, we have departed strangely
from the simplicity and economy of former
times. The world has grown extrava-
giant. We build our houses and bonnets
too large and our steeples too high. We
must retrench, razee and curtail. The
printer must take the hint, and not pub
lish SO many long yarns. Some of our
newspapers are as big as southern plan
tation. Its a waste of paper. They
should be reduced to what was formerly
the rule just the size of an old fashioned
pewter platter. 1t would not take half so
long for industrious folks to read em.
There are many more matters that call
for reformation; but we will wait to see
how these hints are regarded before we
name any more.
P.S. We have half mind to recon-
mend retrencknsnt to long sermons but
we are almost afraid to say word about
it. Perhaps it is better to let sermoni-
zing jog on the old way Thomaston,
