FEMALE DELiCACY.-AbOve every
other feature which adorns the female
character. delicacy stands foremost
within the province Of good taste.
Not that delicacy which is perpetual
" in quest of something to be asham-
ed of, which makes merit of a blush,
and shippers at the false construction
its own ingenuity has put upon an IN.
nocent remark; this spurious kind OF
deIicacy is rs far removed from good
taste as from good feeling and good
sense; but the high-minded delicacy
which maintains its pure and unde-
waiting walk alike amongst women
as in the society Of men; which
shrinks from no necessary duty, and
can speak, when required, with seri-
BUSINESS and kindness of things at
which il would be ashamed to smile
or to blush--that delicacy which
knows how to confer a benefit with
out wounding the feelings of another,
and which understands also when and
how to receive one-that delicacy
which can give aims without display,

sands who only asked for q moderate
indulgence in them, and who were
men of as fine Talents as the world
ever produced, and it is the hight OF
presumption in US to suppose that we
can stand where they have fallen.
Mr.. D. says that under the Mosaic
diSpensation the priests were entitled
to the drink offerings that were offer
ed by the Hebrews, and Mr.. FL. de-
MED the truth of this statement, and
said it was to be poured about the al
tars. this is the account that J~osephus
gives, and the bible says a certain por
ton of wine shall be offered with each
bullock, lamb &c. which 'shall be q
sacrifice made by fire of sweet SAVIOUR
unto the Lord" 1t is true the peo-
pie were compelled TO give 4 1.-THE Of
all they had to the priests. and then
II was discretionary with them wheth-
er they used it % not, except when
they were gong 10 serve at the altar,
and then they were forbidden to drink
wine upon pain of death. Levitt. 10.
9--thIS shows that wine has a corrupt
Ing tendency-that II Is liable TO con-
taminate, and lest they might drink
enough TO effect them. the Almighty
torblds them TO use any on those oc-
c~asions when they we've to be engag-
ed in his service. But let us notice
this matter a little further. The peo-
pie were b,uad to give a tenth of all
their income to the priests. Does my
friend regard this as authority for the
priests TO claim the same in the pres
ont day? ! presume not, and if he
denies the validity ofthe priests claim
10 tithes. why plead for the indulgence
that was allowed in wine? Now say.
that a rule that will not work both
ways is not good.
Mr.. ID. says If his example leads
men into drunkenness, and down t"
hell, that Jesus Christ would do the
same, because they were together IN
regard 10 the use OF intoxicating H.
quors, that the SAVIOR had made and
drank them.
Mr.. II. considered 1t impie,y to
talk about TIE savior making and
drinking intoxicating liquors. Il Is
true he made WIG, but II WAS not
probable il had any intoxicating prin-
cipIc in It. It was made OF water

declined in the Liverpool Market I'd, bu
afterwards regained an I'd The cause o
out by the Great Western, which left the
impression that the present crop, if not an
average, would at least be far one. The
previous excited ate of the market was be
ieved not to have been justified by the state

Of November 4th, expresses the opinion that
prices would decline.

candidate, is elected by majority Of l65
votes after very exciting contest.
