cause Of the contest the Russian Grand
Duke announces the disclaimer the parties

anxious TO hear, as an assurance against
their fears of projected enlargement OF
boundaries. His Grace specifically declares
that the march Is not to conquest. but
simply to the relief Of those who suffer for
CHRIsr's sake. If this be accepted as true,
Il ought to be sufficient to allsy for time
at least the excitement in England and
Austria, and cause them to dssist from pres.

CHURCH RULES FOR THE LADIES.

i. Dress hard all morning. such is fate,
Then enter church some minutes late.
All eyes will then be turned on yon,
And will observe your bonnet new.
Let humble modesty wrcathe your face,
And take Your seat with faultless grarc.
Think how religions prone to bless
And c~riticise Your neighbours dress.
LA your heart be filled with praise,
and notice Mrs. Migglc's lace.
Put from your mind all thoughts of sin,
And read just your diamond pin.
Think of how good religion proves,
And then smooth out your buttoned gloves
Catch we'll the precepts as they fall,
And smooth the wrinkles i'll your shawl.
Think of the sinners fearful fate.
And notice if your b0nnets straight.
Pray for the Influence divine
That lady's basque, mark the dosing.
Let tender peace possess your mind,
And ~criticise that hat behind.
Reflect on Christian graces dear,
And fix those curls behind your ear.
Let yonr heart warm with silent prayer,
And view that horrid green silk there.
Reflect upon the wicked's ways,
See if your gold chains out of place.
Think of the peace the good shall find,
And wonder who are sitting behind.
Think of the burdens Christians bear,
And notice those strange ladies there.
The last words hear with ~contrite heart,
And fix Your pull-back when you start.
