Smile when You smile and, when you rage, just rage
My hearers There is u vast deal of false show
deceit and hypocrisy afloat upon the waters of the
world, which ought to be sunk to rise no more for
ever: and if thought could accomplish their de
struction by throwing stones, would keep 6rinp
till had expended the last particle of mental and
physical ammunition. scarcely know whether
the men or the women are made up cf the most
talslhes. Young ladies certainly wear false smiles,
false hair, false color upon their cheeks false hps.
and now days ialse-what shall term them ?
false projections such as never saw before, Strip
them of all their artificial ornaments and nine out
of ten Of them are no worther objects of attraction
than parcel ofpicked peacocks: because. in such
cases, the mind is generally left wholly unadomed.
Take care, girls, to garnisl your hearts with the
flowers of wisdom and virtue that never fade: and
you will always look lovely, without the aid of ex
ternal establishment When you smile, don't let the
face perform the oihce unasslsed by the fecinos
but let every smile come as fresh and warm from
the heart as milk from cow, and as sparkling and
| bright IN the pure sunshine OF JOY, mrth or plad-
ness, as a mill-dam by moonlight. When Won are
angry, let folks know it-go with vengeance :
Rip, stave fly about, smash your bonnets tear your
frocks, do something desperate; and, in five min
utes, you will satisfy every body that Won are
in earnest, and-yery foolish But this plav
ing matchmaking believe angry at times for the
sake OF getting stronger hold on young fellows
affections, is the very summit Of nonsense. The
fabric is of too tlmsy and transparent texture NOT
to be seen through with half an eve. And, nnoth.
or thing, my dear young females-while flirting Gf
you must lrt) with the opposite sex, don't ever pre-
tend to be struck with admiration at the spht Of
this and that thing, and excaim O how beautiful y
unless you really think so. The aiieotation sticks
out about feet as we say in Dutch and is as dis
gushing as it is undisgused
Now my young brothers, what shall | say Of
| shall that ire no
good as, the other sex. In all your movements YOU
exhibit ioolishness and folly. You smile TO beiray
and, as my friend Beattie says, you lead TO be-
wilder and dazzle to blind You profess a purity
of purpose, and yet your daily practices are aholli
= at variance with your precepts. You pluck the
Deaullui posles that bloom IN the garden of wo
mankind, proiessedly to place them in our bosoms
and cherish them; but, alas how often do vol
leave them, after having taken n snuff or two o
their fragrance, to wllher in the cold bghnp gorm
OF neglect In short, you are perfect specimens o
lnslncerty -bladder5 Of gas, bags of Windmill o
words without meaning, and manifestations of love
devoid Of "A faithful foundation
My hearers-there is too much afIectation anon,
you altogether. ! agree with my transatlantic
friend, Mrs. Ellis, that 1t arises principally out of
desire to obtain the good opinion of others, or tn,
fear of losing 1t and an affected manner of actin,
or speaking often becomes habitual as to be an IL
beyond n cure. Thus it is important that YOU. m,
young friends, should be warned against acquirin,
such habits before they have become too deepl,
rooted to be eradicated by the implements of rea
! son and judgment Never pretend to know grea
deal more than is contained in your knowledge
boxes for 1t will certainly be detected by thos
who know more. Don't affect to be witty, refined
, delicate or sentimental; for by doing, you sub
Ject yourselves TO rldcule and when the arrows O
ridlcue once pierce the heart they impart a poiso
that no medicine can expel Dow, in.
