come comparatively rich people; the
bounty OF kind providence has placed
the means of comfortable living within
easy reach; but instead Of humbling US
under grateful sense OF his unmerited
mercy, wealth has led US into more showy
and extravagsnt modes of living. We do
not like to be out done in style By those
whom we consider no more wealthy than
ourselves, and under one specious pretext
or other, we have encroaohed by little and
little on ancient simplicity, until we have
reached degree of laxity that tolerates
almost any expense or nagni6cence in
the style of dress and living.
A Great house fashionably furnished,
and correspondent style of living, at
tract description Of company who are
pleased with inery and show; and whose
society and converse have direct ten
dency to ALLEVIATE the mind from love Of
religion; to dissipatc calm and sober
thought, and load us more heavily with
the glittering chains that bind US to the
perishing vanities of the world.
Children trained up in such habits are
little qualified for struggling against rever-
ses of fortune, or for meeting with fortit-
ude and composdre those trials which are
inseparable from human existence. They
may glitter and shine in the drawing
room, but have nothing in themselves to
rest upon, no refuge to fee to, and no
anchor to stay them; they are at the mer-
cy of every adverse wind that blows; un-
able to steady themselves, or be stay to
others. The consciousness that their
parents are rich, initiates them with fool
ish pride and self consequence, and they
learn to estimate men BY the amount Of
their money rather than by their moral
and religious worth.
The evils which flow from this state Of
society are numerous and distressing, and
they are the more alarming, because ma
ny who profess strong attachment to the
principles of the Bible contemplate these
departures without concern, and Palliate
or excuse them as matters of very small
moment.

shire Grants, (since the State of Ver.
mont.) Gov. Chittenden, desirous of aug
meniing the population Of that territory,
was disposed to give them shelter; but
Gov. Bowdoin sent to demand the refu-
gees. They then fed to the Isle aux
Noix and to St. Johns, with the view OF
retiring to Canada; but the British COM
mander at the latter post refused to allow
them to pass unless Lord Dorchester, the
Canadian Governor in Chief, first granted
permission. They turned back, and were
some time concealed in Vermont.
On the 10th of March, the General
Court appointed three Commissioners,
Gen Lincoln, Hon. S. Phillips, and Hon.
S: A. Otis, to proceed to the Western
Counties, for the purpose of granting in
demnity to the insurgents, on their making
their submission and taking the oath OF
allegiance. Seven hundred and ninety
persons took the benefit Of the commiss-
ion. Shays, Wheeler, Parsons, Luke
Day, and few others, however were ex-
cepted. Fourteen were arrested, and
convicted Of high treason, and received
the sentence Of death, but all were ulti-
mately pardoned.

FACTORY GIRLS.

What my daughter, are you going to
visit factory girl 2 said Mrs. Pedigree to
her daughter Ziphina Angelina Matilda, a
few evenings since, as she. was putting on
her bonnet to walk the factory girls are
not rcspectahle-,hey are not intelligent,
they are not agreeable-they are an igno-
rant and debased compound Of ignorance
and misery, continued she, and | would
not visit Them My mother, replied the
daughter, you are prejudiced against
whom you have falsely charged thus--you
are mistaken in the character Of those
whom you dcnominate an ignorant and de-
based part Of the community Thus the
conversation passed on, pro and con, with
the daughter and the proud spirited moth
er, until two young and beautiful girls en-
tered The room. Their forms, their dress,
their conversation and conduct through
were of the most fascinating order, delica-
cy and agreeablcness. The evening was
passed, and the ladies retired, after improv-
ing the usual compliments of the eve, and
Mrs. Pedigree soon made diligent inquiries
respecting the two prepossessing girls
The daughter informed her that they were
factory girls. Well, said the lady, there
is some exception to the terms generally
applied to them. am we'll pleased with
them, and 10 future shall have I'D objection
to having yoa visit girls Of so good minds
as our evening visitors. This is frag-
ment of what passed between an cont of
town family, just moved into this manufac-
turing region.
It is even so, there is prejudice by
proud and assuming persons, clothed in
little brief authority that young lady
who works in Cotton Mill, is an abject
and almost despisable being. Should the
employment that personals devoted to, if
it be an honorable and laudable calling, e.
rase their names and character from the
banner of responsibility No! and The lof-
-ty and assuming spirit that dwells within
bosom ofsucb an one, is only fit, as Shake
spcare has said, for treason, stratagems
and SPOIL A laboring class of.ihe com-
munity, who have brought incalenlable
honor to or country, should be otherwise
regarded. How many females are there
in the world, who never did any thing but
gossip about from post TO pillar with
poor laboring parents, that are shining dali
ly in their unpaid for decorations. The fac
tory girl earns money-she dresses with
modesty and i'm a becoming manner-lays
up money-and takes pleasure in her avo-
cations. She has leisure, after perform
ing her duties, to pass the autumn eve in

ScGtding HOgs.-A gentleman of expe-
riencc and observation desires us 10 make
known, for the benefit of farmers, a mode
practised by him of scalding hogs.
Instead Of pouring cold acater or ashes
into the hot water, as is the general -prae-
tice, he washes the hog in cold water pre-
vious to scalding it. It matters not how
hot the water may be with which the hog
is scalded, if cold water is first used i'm the
way prescribed, the hair can be taken of
with ease aud neatfess. No danger need
be apprehended of the hair becoming setas
is often the case when this is rot resorted
to, owing TO particular Temperature of, the
water. The gentleman who communicates
to US this mode, says he has practised it for
more than twenty years, and has not dur
ing that time, experienced any difficulty in
scalding hogs.
In dressing young pig for roasting, he
FIRST dips it in cold waters and then in hot,
by which mocess he is enabled to remove
the hair with the least possible trouble.

F0ur P0s.-BeaoGre of DickeyS.-A
wealthy tradesman, in business in this city,
and having country residence in Surrey,
found a shirt collar in his wife's chamber,
which he knew did not belong to him.
He questioned her as to how it could get
there, but she affected to treat the matter
lightly, and endeavored to persuade him
that il had been changed at the wash.-
Her manner, however, led to a suspicion
that there was something in the business,
and he therefore determined on sitting it
to the bottom. He first called on the laun-
dress, and asked to see the things his wife
had sent to be washed. His request, after
some hesitation, was complied with, and
ON looking them over, he found several
d'ckeys, collars, stockings, one or two
shirts, all of which bore the initials and
some the name of a young man holding
situations in public establishment, who oc-
casionally visited his house. He next OK
amined the jewels and trinkets belonging
to his wife, and found that many valuable
articles were missing, and of which she
could give no satisfactory account. He
next applied to an experienced officer, and
accompanied him to the lodging of the sup
posed Lothario. On limiting the nature Of
the visit, he affected much indignation, and
ordered them out Of the place. They, how
ever, ascertained that lady answering the
description of the wife, frequently visited
the suspected party, and generally remain
ed some time with him. The lady impli-
Gated in this unpleasant affair has six Gne
children living, aud has, up to the time of
the discovery, lived on the most affection
ate terms with her husband. The gentle

are by. no means unacceptable, are likely

Rules for Traveliers-and their Horses
1. In the first place, treat your horse
like sensible creature--.I have seen hor-
SEES that had more intelligence than the
dolls that rode them)-in correcting him,
address yourself to his understanding. and
endeayor to convince him by reason. The
.forci5le remedy comes with more power af-
forwards.
2. Never beat your horse without suffi-
Gent cause, as that irritates and spells his
temper. Gentle words to horses ear
are like Jumps Of sugar TO his mouth, they
swceten his disposition. #
8. IL your horse takes scare, as the
best Of horses sometimes will. don't thrust
your spurs into bis TANKS, or beat him over
the head. Nobody knows horses rea-
son for being frightened, he sees many
things we little dream OF.
A. If your horse stumbles, speak sharp
Iy, or give him j;rk or two with the bri-
die, just to apprize him he is watched, but
do not strike him, it makes him stumble the
worse.
$. A horse is fond Of company. There
fore, when riding alone, you should talk,
sing or whistle to him. lin Spanish, 50
much the better--most horses have an ear
for Spanish. (Horses procured from the
