FEMALE CHARACTER.

Women are generally deceived when they think that they recommend themselves to the other sex by an indifference to reli- zion. Every man who knows human na- lure, connects a religious feeling with soft ness and sensbility of heart. At least we always consider the want of 1t proof of that of the masculine spnit, which, of all your faults. we dislike most. Besides men consider your religion as the best security for female virtue, in which they are most sensibly interested. Never indulge in ridi- cule on religious subjects, nor give counten- ance to ii iE others by seeming diverted at what they say. This, to people of good .sllll be sufficient check.
 Let woman be decked with all the em- bellishments of art and the gifts ofnature- yet If boldness IS to be read in her face, 1t blots all the lines of beauty. Modesty is not only all ornament, but also a guard to virtue. It is delicate feeling in the soul, which makes her shrink and withdraw her. self from the appearance of danger. It is an exquisite sensibility that warns her to shun every thing hurtful.

 The following lines, descriptive of | scene in 3 private nad-houses are from the pen of M. c. Lewis, Esq. They were published in the National Intelligencer about eight years since, the editors of which paper introduced them with these remarks: "lf any one can read the following lines without shuddering in sympathy with the supposed captive, he must have heart dead to every humane feeling. The peru sal of them had the more effect upon us, from the conviction we have for some time entertained, that insanity, when sgperinduc- ed, (not natural, )--when II Is an affection of the mind, and not defect of organza- tioh--is often the consequences of the treatment of the disease-pot merely of the arrangement of friends of seclusion from the world; of coercion; but of the horrible dread of being thought mad by others.
