the irmness and energy exercised by them in the

Blue Stocking Morality.

Not long ago friend sent us rich, rare pres
ent. in the shape of he copy Of letter writ
ten twenty years ago, by lady of great liter
ary distinction, 10 her cousin. who now gIa-
ces one Of the most honorable official stat ons
in the Empire State. 1t was written on the
eve Of his marriage, and accompanied a pair
Of blue mixed stockings, knit by herself. a
present. lt was sent to Us for our private and
personal enjoyment, but as no restriction was
imposed upon us, and as the letter is so de-
cidediy unequaIed and entirely rich, we
cannot resist the temptation TO share the en-
ioymeut Of lis perSual with our friends.
We would only add. that II will endure be-

E. Bul consider this present as pucuiar.y !
appropriate on the occasion OF your marriage.

are two indiFiiualS united in one pair, who are
to walk side by side. guarding aglius cold

free from the black passions of WRATH and

excellent. where we 90 not make It too blue.
''Other appropriate thoughts rise to my
mind regarding these stockings. The most
ind ditferent subjects. when viewed by the mind
in a suitable frame may furnish instructive in
ferences. as saith the poet;
"The iron dogs, the fuel and tongs,
The bellows that have leathern lungs,
The fre-wood, ashes, and the smoke,
Do all to righteousness provoke"
But to the subject You will perceive that
the tops of these stockings (by which | sup

Shang- g-Shang the Fifth Worshipful Successor of
Confucius, unalloyed philanthropist. and
felt such real interest in the affairs of men at
large that he concluded to send an embassy into
the most distant portions of Grim Tartary, or ra-
ther an exploring expedition, with the object of
ameliorating their situation, (for at that time
little or nothing was known of the barbarous in
habitants of that coantry) The undertaking
promised to be one Of difficult and dangerous
nature and of course required a person at its
head OF great ability. determination and persever
ance. But, notwithstanding there not want
ing large number of applications, from even the
most remote lodges, for in this, as in all great
enterprises the prospect of glory far outbalanced
the considerations oil danger. Now Shang- hang
was man Of great penetration, and understood
human nature to perfection. and this is the most
necessary ingredient of greatness: for who well

Of hau;eboys, attended with the shouts OF the
