m large chaTacterS>-s M0nRerS ndkefh man.' How much. more truly may they be said to make Woman ]. .eg} o'sa sf' sa The retiring difideDce, the eentleness and modesty of manner, which character ize this sex, are it's most potent spells. The very weakness of woman becomes her tow CT of strength; and. in seeming to be gov erned, lies her power of governing. In argument, their strength lies in their deli- cacy and mildness of manuer; and even their anger is most efficiently and most be- comingly manifested, not by violence oi word, tone, or gesture, but by reserved dignity of manner, sort of negative un- kindness. consisting of a diminutiou oftheir natural and habitnal,amenity. s..,,',. :, Eminence of rank, and the most profuse favors of.fortune, are. .insuficienttto atone for iorwardness or coarssness of manners 1 in female. -
 Grossness of all kihdsis deadly enemy to beauty, and should be avoided as a 't; city Iof pestilence. A weh-bred lady will be moderate in diet, and Usry sparing of wine 1; and whatever may be her. natural or acqnir- ed talents, she will be careful not to en- au, gross unduly the attention of the company she may be in. g. afE r'l' 1 We entreat our young readers to bear in mind, that in our intercourse with society, 1t is our duty to bear and forhear. A young lady should ever, whatever pains it may cost her, keep. her temper, conceal if not suhdne her antiquities, and avoid making any observations which are calculated 10 wound the feelings of others. It is true, that some persons have really annoying pe- culiarities, but 1t is not difficult to avoid coming in contact with such persons; and even when etiquette compels collision, good manners, of which good sense and good feel ing arc the very soul, demand that we should suppress our own feelings, rather than pain those. of other persons. .s.s.. .,,
 In conversation too much display should be carefully avoided. Allike to be heard, and most persons like good listeners better than good takers. Besides, too much fiu- ency and animation in discourse are incom- patibie with true feminine modesty. &"a
 .Nearness is indispensable in the dress of a lady /; tawdry colors, and a cOnspicuously fashionable make, should especially be summed; dress at once showy and ill-judg- ed always draws ridicule upon its wearer. 1t is impossible to lay down minute rulos for dress, the style of which must, and should, differ with the varieties of figure and countenance; but, as a general rule, it may be we'll to observe, that it is proper | to preserve a middle course between ex- treme gaudiness and extreme plainness.
 The manners, gait, dress, and that gen- eral assemblage of particulars which the French call the tout ensemble, afford to the judicious certain indications of a young la dy's disposition and our fair readers should therefore be at once careful to ac- qnire polished manners, and studiously so- licitous to avoid catching ungraceful or vul- gar peculiarities from others. .',

 A farmer should never undertake to cul- tivate more land than he can do othoroughly; half titled land is growing pOorer-well till- ed land is constantly improving. nf&
 Afarmer should never keep more cattle, horses, sheep or hogs, than he can keep in good order an animal in high order on the first December is already half wintered. r. A farmer should never depend on his neighbor for what he can by care and good Us"u"SOutOut ptOuuSC uU BsbS OWu bHeSu JIG should never beg fruit while ho can plant trees, or borrow tools while he can make or buy high authority has said, the bor- rover is a servant to the lender. 's@E$ I A farmer should never be so immersed in political matters. as to forget to SOW his wheat, dig his potatoes, and bank up his cell lar nor should he be so inatientiye to them as to remain ignorant of those great ques- tions of national and state policy which will always agi.ate more or less free people. ' A farmer should shun the doors of the bank, as he would an approach ofihe plague or cholera; banks are fer men of specula- tion, and theirs is a business with which far. mcrs should have little to do. yss.isr .. A farmer should never Dc ashamed of hi. calling; we know that no man is entirely independent, yet the farmer should remem. Der that if any one can be said to posses. that enviable distinction he is the man.
 No farmer should allow the reproach o neglecting education to lie against himself or family; if knowledge is power, the be. , ginning of it should be early. and deepl, : laid in the district school. .iy sr " a,.'a II A farmer should never use ardent spirit, as a drink if while undergoing severe ia I tigue, and the hard labors of the summer he would enjoy robust health, let him b, temperate in all things.
