HANDWRITING.

Hood gives some good advice upon this
subject, which he submits TO the particu-
lar attention of "poe.s and prosers, who
aspire to write in miscellanies; and above
all, the palpitating untried. who mediate
the offer of their maiden essays TO eestab-
lished periodicals.. He advises these
writer's. to "take care to cultivate a good,
plain. bold, round text; to set up Tomkihs
as well as Pope or Dryden for a model.
and to have an eye to their pot.hooks.iis
"Of all things, therefore. be legible; and
to that end, practise in penmanshiP. If

Of Mr.. Carstairs. Be sure TO buy the best
