The following playful article is from the Lon

by Mrs. WATTS. a member Of the society of
Friends. At the first Uiush, there is slight ap-
pearance Of satire in the piece; but it is deli.
cate, and, as we believe, most deserved COM
pliment to "lady Friends" who excel in that
virtue Of their sex, "personal propIiety;" which,
with thousand accompanying virtues,s indicated
in that homely word. "NEArNEss."

St. Pau, ..reiraiu from outward adurning."

composed of scarcely more than two colors, con-
trive from these simple elements to extract as
much food for vanity as painter from his seven
primitive colors, or a musician from his octave of
notes 1t is true. the original materials are limit
ed; but, 0 for the varieties that their ingenuity
will contrive to extract from these simple ele-
ments First, there is white, pure unadulterated
white, then "dead" white, then there is "bluc"
white, then there is "pearl' white. and then there
is "French" white. and heaven knows how ma
ny other whites. Next follow the grays; first,
there is a simple gray, then "blae" gray, then
g ASH gray, then .ssilver" gray, then craven"
gray, and for aught know, dozen other srays.
Then comes the fawn, the ''ight'' fawn, the
"dark' fawn, the "red'' fawn, the "brown"
fawn, the hare's back lawn, and the "brown
paper" color; then follow with their endless sub
division. the families of the Esterhazies," the
