There is an agl, to which whom young people ar
rive, we are sorry to say SOY, they labor to keep
down an i'll dispositiou vicious, sarcastic as
pcct, and all the vile passions Of She human OF
gauizaton more for the sake Of popularity and the
respect and friendship Of others, than the yielding
of obedience to Him who merits all we have.
1t is remarkably strange, that when the young
people arc most anxious to rank high in the admi-
raticn of the world AMI be arst in the circle of So
ccty, they frequently cut down and bar out thai
respect and kindly feeling which they might enjoy
from others, by ndulgiug quarrclsoAc, sarcastic,
threatening aspect in society. Why should no'
young mon nni women know that such Indulgence
is ridiculous and rcpulsiyc to socicty2 Why
should young men and women, knowing the iotn-
cncc Of such a disposition, by way of destroying
the respect and good opinion Of their comrades for
them, not learn to do away with SUCH by rciorma-
ton? | cant see it
Young people, would You be saved from the ILL.,
will Of your companions, saved from their rproAch
and ccnsurc and iil-toncd words as soon as your
back is to them may, would you save yourselves
from the place Of an unworthy ot!cast lcathsomc
10 society, disgraccrul to yourselves, unworthy the
love or friends would you save yourselves from
these keep down that threatening, rash. sarcastic,
snappish, opt-brokcn style Of appearance, which
we have paintully witnessed in young society. BE
assured it is destructive to your reputation, as far
as gcutilitris concerned. Remember that s',ch an
appearance is disgusting to cvery ono who merits
the name of gentleman or lady, and perhaps many
il not all others Man naturally rcycrcs the right ii
he be wrong.
What would be the feelings oC a spirited, refined
you gentleman, upon seeing his fiir-iormcd Dull
cina, while in company, burst ont in 4 strain OF
madness and sarcastic spite, and quarcsomc wran-
glc, and threats upon any aad every one who
in her willing Imagination, may seem to have
wrongcd her? Surely it would throw deep sham,
upon him, and modification Of feelings and would
no less relax his affections for hCr and if his pride
was repeatedly cut in this manner, by her who had
been the object Of his love, and whom he had
falsely hoped would be the pride of his heart he
would he justfablc in discariing her at once and
rice rcrsd.
If lady, subsequent to her acquaintance with
and tho giving of her hearts love to a young man
| finds within him no more respect for her finer feel
ings, and such an absence Of gcnulity in himscl
as to give place to the spirit above described, to
every trivial misdoins of ncighbor, she is doing
boon to society and an honor to herself to discharge
him at once. lie is not worthy her love, an,
should never have i. until he has proicd, by tn
reproach ofa discharge, in Learning gcuhlity.
The fair sex are of finer texture, and therefore
such an appearance renders thcm more obnoxiou
than the former, and moro sparse, happily; yet ,r
hare such a display in this sec. Let all rcmcm
Der that there is no time in society, nor no place
that such qunrrclsomc, disagrecable disposition
should be manifested. Aud anv one who is guilt
of the same is far from gentleman or lady, an,
can only make themselves worthy the title by re
formation. He sW"i ca qoc gucrimW.
Yours truly,
