A CHAPTER ON HATs.-There is No
people so ingenious at expedients as the
! Yankees. A Yankee editor down in Lo-
well, who ought to know oil about it gives
us chapter on the uses of hats, which is
very good in its way, though the custom
spoken of is not so strictly a New England
one as represented. at would never
says the aforesaid Yankee editor, "enter
the heads Of persons out of New England
to use their hats for any other purpose than
as covering for their heads. In other
parts of the globe, when man bows gra-
ciously to friend he takes off his hat. Such
a custom cannot be adopted here; for
mans hat is his pocket book, his satchel,
his pantry, his clothes bag, his tool chest,
or his segar box, as occasion may require,
and if he should take off his hat in hurry
awkward circumstances must needs ensue.
We once knew young gentleman, who
having purchased dozen of eggs for his
mother, forthwith popped them into his hat.
On his way home he met pretty girl, with
whose charms he had long been smitten,
and wishing to be particularly aolite, he
took off his hal preparatory to making a low
bow. The twelve eggs, obeying the laws
of gfavitatlon, were precipitated to the
pavement, and instantly smashed 10 atoms:
and the beautiful white garment of the as
tonished girl was bespatter'd with the yolks.
She never forgave hlm.
How often during a windy day we
see hatless wight chasing cloud of pa
pers which have made their escape: and
are borne away on the wings of the wind.
1t has been remarked by the foreigners
that the natives Of New England are gene
rally round should rel. This is undoubted.
y owing to the enormous weight which
they carry on their heads. A lawyer is
seldom seen with green bag in his hand.
His legal documents, and sometimes his
law books, are deposited in his hat. A ply
sician's hat is not unfrequantly an apolhe-
cary's shop in miniature; merchants hat
is crammed with samples of merchandise;
and stage drivers hat is stuffed with bun
dies and packages. A person about to
make short jourle ey seldom burthens him
self with trunk, but takes n change ofap-
parel in his hat; late member of the Nus.
sacIiusetts' Legislature, represented a atown
not more than miles twenty from Boston,
always carried his dinner to the State House
in his hat: and we have seldom seen the hat
an editor, which was not stuffed with
damp newspapers, stolen paragraphs, and
unansw cred duns!

1t is remarked by some writer, that ex.
cess of ceremony shows want of GOOD
breeding" This is true. There is nothing
so troublesome as overdone politeness; it is
worse than overdone beef steak. A truly
well bred man makes every person round
him feel Mt ease; he does not throw civil
ties about him with shovel. nor toss
compliment in bundle, as he would hay,
with pitchiork. There is no evil under
the sun more intolerabe than ultra polite
ness.

made to the amusement Of dancing at So
clal parties, and we wish to apply our obser.
vations to this point. We have shown
that at an early age dancing was a,rellgious
exercise, consequently virtue. Dancing
as an exercise merely, is neither sinful or
hoIy. Ard dancing becomes sinful only
when connected with uEhailowed assocjo-
tons. The young require some kind of
amusement and we are satisfied that
careful consideration of the subject viii
bring every candid mind to the conclusion
that dancing is the best adapted amusement
'or the social meeting of the young: has
tendency to improve the manners, and with
proper associations, as in olden time. ele-
vate the mind.
We do not intend to advocate the exb-
bltlon that is made by scnIe ofthe dunseuscs
upon the stage, but only refer to 1t as spe.
cmen OF the perfection of grace, and agility
OF movement. We have witnessed, with
rIveted attention, Augusta fit along the
boards seemingly without sufficient gravi-
tation to detain her to the earth. She will
skip over every part of the stage touching
1t only often enough to convince you that
she belongs to the world, and at the sume
lime present to the audience every variety
that can fascinate, and charm. An exhibition
'f this kind may be considered as one of the
lbuses of dancing; not because perfection

luence OF the form being SO much exposed

In conclusion we urge the foregoing obser- c
ations upon the practical consideration of :
ur readers, hoping that they may be dves;ed

OHIO STATE JOURNAL FOR THE
SESSION.

In consonance with previous usage, the
proprietor of the ONO STATE JOURNAL
submits the following Prospectus to the
consideration of the citizens of Ohio. The
political character of the Journal is so well
known, that no new comments are necessa.
ry to explain it. 1t is unequivocally oppo-
sed to the administration of. Martin Van
Buren,, and TO all the mad schemes of him
self and his advisers. The Journal will con-
tinue, steadily, in the path of its long avow-
ed and long cherished principles. Success
cannot corrupt it, nor defeat intln,idate it.
AS faithful sentinel on the watch-tower of
American liberty, it will always be found
awake on Its post.
During the winter, abundance of interest
ing matter may be expected from the halls
of our State Legislature. The work of
BANK REFORM is to be finished, by the ma
jority who now rule triumphant, and we, in
common with the whole State, feel anxious
to investigate its operation and its progress.
Our attention will be given to the subject
most amply and unreservedly.
In every other respect, the Ohio State
Journal will adhere TO its original plan and
character. 1t will be, emphatical!y. NEWS
PAPER, in whose columns may be found all
the interesting events of the day. Con-
gressional reports, foreign and domestic
intelligence, together with the opinions of
our contemporaries of the Press, and occa-
sional draughts from the pens of our literatI,
will form an agreeably variety. A generous
support is requested.

salt Immediately. To one thousand lbs'

pound of salt petre. Rub the skin well
with the hand! until it becomes moist, then
pack the hams in trough as close as pos
sible. If the season is not unusually cold,
We weeks is long enough to let it lay in
brine. Then hang up and put smoke of
good green hickory wood Immediately un-
der it, until it has enough. Take down
by the first OF March, and pack away in
dry hickory ashes-being particular to
rub well on the feshy parts. Lay the
meat as high in the smoke house as posi-
bic on boards or plank, and put corn cobs
betyeen to prevent il from touching.
