thing more than skin deep. I, must penetrate
into the interior. You must be handsome all |
the way from the head TO the heart. You must
do the handsome at all times, and under all cir.
cumstances; or, like bad egg washed with
gold. you won't go down. BY not treating your
friends as often as you are treated by them-5y
speaking dlspaiaglngy Of your acquaintances-
by assuming silly airs, and thrusting yourself too
forward in company, and with the ladies' espe-

and by making fool of yourself in divers ways
YOU spoil all your beauty; and your company
will be Stunned, rather than couried in spite OF
all your wonderments, Good looks uaaccom-
panied with good department, can no more
gam the esteem and admiration of the world
than black coat and white cravat can make
a saint blackleg.

disinterested kindness: so long as the blossoms
of virtue remain infull bloc in your bosom: so

sex-and no longer. Without these, you may
whItewash your foreheads, rouge your cheeks,
pencil your eyebrows, and sport luxuriaHce of
exlraneous curIs; but it will be all to no purpose
! No one will discover anything handsome, or
pretty, about you, and you will be left to wither
unnoticed, like flower without beauty or fra

My hearers--it would be easier to teach
rabbit TO trot, goose TO canter, giraffe 10
creep, or an elephant to turn summerset, than
for me to cleanse you of your filth ard loaih-

God and man, without corresponding exertiou
upon your own side. Do try, my brethren, to
