Fashion, whatever influence it may ex-
ercise upon some people is certainly (says
the Independent Press,) very ofen at va
rance with the simplest rules of good
taste and ordinary common sense. What
may be the whim or caprice of one indi-
vidual, very often proves law to the
multitude, according to the canons of
fashions. The King of the Fejee Island
once took fancy to let the royal barber
shave his head, his subjects got wind of
the fact and the very next day every head
in the Fcjee village was divested of it's
woolly covering. The king, in this in
stance, was, by virtue of royalty, the lea
der of the ton, and his subjects simply
conceived that they were following the
fashion. The case is pretty much the
same in civilized countries, a certain style
of dress is got up to suit Tom, Dick or
Harry, and Immediately the fashionable
world is in ecstacies, and the costume is
universally adopted without the least ref.
erence to its comfort or appearance.
When will people grow wise and indepen-
dent enough to eschew fashion and cult
vate common sense.

(this was said to the boarders after they
had been holding at supper a very learned

hardly tell whether he was funning or
not, he was so very grave in his tone>-
said he-(the boarders were all looking
at him, and Miss Seraphina at the piano
ceased playing)-said he" Why are

was sumner, sockdolager, canister.

founder. Why was it? Not soul of
'em could tell, though they bit their fin
gers, and looked perplexed, and crossed
their legs. and shook their heads never so
much. Why was it? "Why," said the
old fellow, So its because they have bull
let-in." There wasn't a mouthful of sup
per ate after that, and the landlady was
heard to remark, in confidence to the
help, that she wished Mr.. Roger would
keep choking all the time.

Moral Reflections.

mural 6eQecL10QS.
' Bear high thy brow, view every grace,
In Gods great offspring. beauteous natures
face''
Man was created for wise and noble
purposes. 1t would be incompatible
with the immaculate character of deity to
conjecture that his rational and intelligent
creatures, were called into existence with
out the best designs. A world abound
ing in everything that is beautiful, mag
niticent and sublime, has been made for
the habitation of man. Every object cal
culated to please his taste, to captivate
his fancy, to contribute to his comfort and
happiness. and to sweeten the cholice of
human existence, has been spread before
him in this vast and beautiful universe
The little pale star that twinkles in that
distant ether-the blushing rose that bows
to the gentle zephyr-the towering eagle
whose eye never winks, and whose PIN
lens are moistened in the floating cloud
the most dilninutive insects that consti-
tute an abiding place for the vital princi-
ple-all, all tell a pleasing story of wis.,
dom, and exhibit wonderful design.
Of this world, with its sublimi:y, in
grandeur, its unnumbered fountains of
felicity, man-sinful, polluted and de-
graded as he is-has been constructed
the monarch. A spiritual existence
crowns his formation--a mysterious prin-
ciple has been implanted in his bosom.
by the aid of which he discriminates be-
tween virtue and vice. between right and
wrong. Conscience, the secret monitor
of human action, while unsullied by the
noxious vapors and moral degravity,
points to the happy results of virtuous
life, and paints in dark and glowing
colors, the blighting influences of sin.
Man, wear with dignity those precious
Jewels, with which kind Providence has
been pleased to ado1n you !; as you grow
in years polish them with an humble
piety, SO that they may dazzle whit he
brilliancy of their moral lustre. He who
dedicates himself to the service of that
benefcient Being who has not only
given him life in world so fair, so bright
and so beautiful to look upon, but given
him assurance of never ending existence
in that "better land" can lie down peace
fully and calmly in the arms of death
his sun will go down with a cloud to
obscure, or to shut out the beauties of the
magnificent and resplendent world which
will burst upon his enraptured vision, as
he enters the VALLEY Of the shadow Of
| Death.

A CHAPTER ON BoNNErs.-The Home
Journal contains the following, which may
be interesting to our readers:
Bonnets without fronts we are used
to; but the last Partisan novelty is bon
net without crown These bonnets, "
says a Paris letter, 'shave three great
qualities-ight as feather, transparent
as gauze, and hanging on the head like a
Neapolitan plateau. This bonnet is an as
semblage Of flowers, ribbons and lace:
point of tofetGs, richly embroidered,
serves support to a deep black lace, EN-
broidered in large dots with straw which
shades the knot of plated hair which falls
on the nape Of the neck. We have said
'bonnets without crowns:' are we sure
they have any front? We can scarcely
say: if the narrow black lace which edges
it. and playfully falls on the forehead and
gracefully encircles the face, is the only
front-we certainly dare not give this
coifure the name Of bonnet. On each
side punches of flowers, as we'll as the
broad strings, complete the harmony.
The designs are completed to match the
platau. This bonnet requires particular
attention in the dressing of the hair
The summit of the head must be left free.
and the hair arranged quite low. These
bonnets are destined to create sensation
in the fashionable world: but only the
very pretty and very young dare to adopt
this novelty"

Hearts round our hearts entwined,
