OF the Poem of Rev Mr.. Wall, on Fashion,
which be recited in Fredericksburg on Friday

was lovely woman left alone to bear the brunt
OF the weakness Of following Fashion. The
sterner sex were told Of their tights very
tight" their swallow tails, their claret and blue
with brass buttons, &C., &c. Not the least in-
teresting was the happily drawn moral which
followed the subject matter of the Poem. -
These was fervA, pious Invocation that touch
I'd the heart, and convinced the moral sense,
though it struct terrible blows at the Fashion
OF over dressing in those who repair to the
