.fdcice 10 yo,aag Ladies.--A young lady of IS, often needs a warning voice to point out the qucksands over which she IS speed- ing her thosl4hliess career. If you are beautiful, and have many admirers, am sorry for it. 4 young woman whose con- duct is marked by strict honor and princi- pie, cannot have many admirers. There IS nothing that more certainly marks bad heart and depfaved moral principle, or a more thorough Restitution of il, than cruel and guilty encouragement of honorable love.
 A young man is never long attached to a young lady. without her beng aware of it commonly, indeed, before he is himself aware of the nature and extent of her feel- ings. The knowledge Is almost intuitive. From that moment, if she be persuaded that she cannot reciprocate, her course is p!aln before her; 1t is cool, unequivocal, unhesltating replllse, on every occasion, place and menner. Love wN die without hope. To crush love in the bud is easy, but trifle and tamper with it till ii has taken root in the heart, and its destruction is at tended with the extinction of the hearts noblest feeling.
 Never forget this prime maxim in these matters" .Not to discourage, IS akuays 10 encourage" A mean and culpable species of coquetry, IS the practice of not giving encouragement or repulse, with a view of keeping your slave till you have learned you cannot do better. l know not an expres- sion that betrays more ,despicable meanness -and she who uses 1t shows a willingness to sell her hand--to traffic her person for value received, that is revolting in the high. est degree.
 No one, moi even parent, can tell what character will repder lady happy but her- self On herself, alone, then, must and ought to rest the responsibility of her choice. l have seen so many marriages commenced with all the glitter of wealth and pomp, terminate in misery and broken hearts; and so many that were begun with Inc very promising auspices, which have 1proved as happy as human life admits-that am convinced that the parent who off. eiaiiy interposes, stands answerable to his God, his child, and his conscience, in de. gree of responsibility most fearful and tre. mendous.

A few days ago a gentleman on looking over his tailor's account, observed charge of six or seven shillings more on coat than he had been accustomed to pay. On inquiring, the taiIo. informed him that he had been obliged to take up an additional quantity of cloth. " Why, exclaimed the gentleman it was scarcely year ago when you told nie you managed to get waist coat for your little boy from what remained of the cloth you made my coat from. cannot conceive why I should require more now, as am convinced have not increas- ed in size since. that period.' 'sNo Sir said the tailor, you are much the same as usual, but my little boy has grown so, you'e hardly know him."

PROJECTED ESCAPE OF BoNAPARTE.- It is not generally known that vessel was undertaken to be built at Battersea by lhe renowned Johnson, the smuggler, for the purpose of liberating Bonaparte from the Isle of St. Helena. The vessel was about ninety feet long, and of the burthen of one hundred tons. It was built of half inch plank; the grain of two such plank was placed in horizontal position. These blanks were so well calked and cemented together, that the thickness of the sides of the vessel did not exceed that of an ordl- nary washing tub. The masts were so arranged that they could be lowered to a level with the deck, and the vessel might be sunk in shoal water with the crew on board, without danger. Ample means were provided for supplying the vessel i with fresh air. The plan was, to sail up at night, within short distance of St. Helena, and sink the vessel until the next or subse- quent night, when Bonaparte would be er- abled to make his escape to the beach, al which time the vessel was to be raised
 Bonaparte to get on board and sail away in the dark. It happened, however. that Bonaparte died before the vessel was quite finished 1; and 1t is a curious coincidence that the vessel was to be coppered the very Gay the news of his death arrived.
 Johnson was to receive A0,000 as soon as the vessel got into blue water, exclusive lof the reward to be given in case the en- |terprise succeeded. This Johnson had previously offered his services to the Ad- mraIty, and affirmed that he could blow up any ship without doing any hurt. Accor- dingly trial was given him in the Thames, accompanied by boatswan of one of hls l Maiesty's ships, who had been married only week before, in boat of similar construc- .ltion to the one before described, to barge lmoored in the middle of the stream. They Hsunk their boat-made fast the torpedo to 1.-the bottom of the barge, and lighted the
 match. Johnson then perceived that his lsessel remained fast, having got (as the

 There IS no osnch thing as sincere polite. ness; to be what the fashionable world term polite, we must necessarily be hypocritical. The true characteristic of sincerity is buniness, and a sincere man will never 1 have the back ache.

 l. That we have 60 much confidence in the good and intelligence of the Electors of this ,own as that we believe they will not suffer the madness par- iy spirit and the strength of party discipline to gain permanent asceOde"cy over patriotic feeling and pub. lie interest; and that this confidence s strengthened by the indications which almost every day discloses Of the rapid increase among of spirit united exer- ton and perseverng effort tn behalf or correct prnci- ples and constitutional policy.
 2 That we deem the elective franchise as the high est privilege and the dearest right of every freeman and that the full and free exercise Of in Ghe way which the laws provide ought to be secured to every 6tector Of whatever name party; and that the bois erous. disorderly and illegal conduct of certain ind- viduals the occasion oi the late town meeting in this town, in restraint o that right and calculated to deter sober and peaceable from it's exercise ; to bring disgrace upon our elections and upon the character of our town and that therefore call up all the friends fgood order and of equal rights to unite with tn conforming practices, which, f lon. ger tolerated, wilt drive away quiet citizens from the ballot-box.
 3. That while our adtersates are raising hickory poles, and suspendng hickory branches at our elec-
 oms, and paying their devoat but senseess wor. ship to these images of their dolatry; we will pay our respectful delerence the constitution oC our country to the principles oftha great and good man who was the frs. Chief Magistrate after its adoption, and to that policy which, under the guidance of the lnsirious WASHINGTON, elevated our character to high and broad and deep the foundations of public security and Of personal freedom.
 4. That n every vcisstude of safety or of peril-in all times o her prosperity and in all times Of her ali. versity, we will cheris, ardent affection for our country, it's constitution and laws, and that n all the efforts which we make secure the ascendancy of correct principles, the safety and security of these and ",he spoiis of victory" shall be our motive 10 action.
