ADVICE TO THE LADIES.
-»I DETEST dilguifc ; remember ’tis your part,
„ 1 By gentle,fondnei's to retain the heart.
i f Let duty, prudence, virtue take the lead
4fp To fix your choice, —but from it ne’er receJe.
* . Abhor coquetry ; spurn the (hallow fool
Jp. AVho meafurts out dull compliments by rule,
without meaning, like a cluttering jay,
fix Repeats the fame dull (train throughout the day.
11 Arc men of sense uttrafted by your face,
1 1 Your well turn’d figure or their compound grace ?
f Be mild and equal,—moderately gay;
Your judgment rather than your wit display.
<By aiming at good-breeding, drive to please;
’Tis nothing more than regulated ease.
I Does one dear youth, among the sylvan train,
The bed afleftions of your heart obtain ?
1 And is he reckoned worthy of your choice ?
Is your opinion with the general voice ?
C’onfefs it then, —nor fiom him feck to hide
What’s known to every body else beside.
I Attach him to you; in a generous mind,
A lively gratitude expe& to find.
Receive his love ; and, by a kind return,
The blaze, afTcttion, will the brighter burn:
Disdain duplicity,—lrom pride be free ;
LVhat every woman (hould, you then will be.

PIOUS EJACULATION.
from cowter's task.
Oil, for a loi ge in fume vast wilderness,
Some buundlef* contiguity of (hade,
Where rumour of oppression and deceit,
Os unfuccefs.ul or fuccel'sful war,
Might never reach me more. My ear is pain’J,
My foul is sick with every day’s report,
Os wr r : rvj outrage with which the earth is fill’d.
There is no fiefii m man’s obdurate heart,
It does not feel for man. The nat’ral bond
Os brotherhood is fever’d as the flax
That ialts a funder at the touch of fire.
CHARACTERISTICS OF POLITENESS
IN DIFFERENT NATIONS.
IN the kingdom of Juida, when the in
habitants meet, they throw themselves
down from the hammocks in which they
are, place rhemfelves on their knees over
against each other, kiss the ground, clap
their hands, make their compliments, and
rife.
The inhabitants of the Manillas fay,
that politefiefs requires that they should
bow their bodies very low, put each of
their hands on their cheeks, and raise up
one foot from the ground, keeping the
knees bent.
The inhabitants of the Marian islands
pretend, that politeness consists in taking
hold of the foot of him to whom they
would do honor, in gently Broking the
face, and in never spitting before a supe
rior. *
The Chirig'ianes maintain, that it is
proper they lhmi 13 have breeches, but that
the politrft manner of wearing them is un
der the arnicas we do our hats.

NOT long Once a gentleman from
"Connecticut, (whom 1 (hall designate by
the letter B.) being on his way to the west
ward, was (topped in York state, on Sun
day, by a miserly Dutchman, who was in
vested with civil authority. Mr. B. in
vain plead the neccflitv of pursuing his
journey untnolefted. At length, taking a
five dollar bill from his pocket book; —
Sir, laid he, this is at your service, on con
dition you will give me a pa/s. —After a
few minutes panfe, this mercenary cha
racter replied— Yes, I will give you von pa/s
for five 'Collars; you may write de pass,
ami l vill make mv mark X.—Mr. B. ac
cordingly fat down, and drew an order on
a merchant in town, for fifty dollars in
cafli, and fifty dollars worth of English
goods; with the Dutch signature; and
takes his leave, with, “ Your humblefer
«*»«/,*’ —Calls on the merchant, who
loaned fifty dollars with the idea
of fifty per cent, gain on the goods. Soon
after, the merchant calls on our noble
Dutchman for the balance of the order; at
which he started and exclaimed * By Got I
eze you nothing, ize give no order on you !
If ise vaitt any thing in your (lore, you
know ize got monys, and always pay.—
The merchant produced the order; and
on feeing his mark, exclaimed! Dis is tl,u

luctantly obliged to cancel the demand :
Swearing dat if he could Jet iLit dam ra/cal ,
he voaldgive him K'on hu/e lichen.

Dr. JOHNSON being aiked what was

a lady, replied—“lt was a iubjtcf, Ma-.
