MISCELLANY.
FROM THE WEEKLY MONITOR.
Hints for the formation end improve
ment of tin; female character.
Next to the performance pf the
duties of religion, let me, earnestly
entreat you, my fair readers to ac
quire the government of your tem
per. Many there arc, who leave
their humility in t'*.- closet and their
devotion at church ; who are con
stant in the observance of the solemn
ordinances of Christianity, but forget
the golden rule of good will to all,
without which, all prayers, and forms
and ceremonies, are but as a sound
ing brass or a tinkling rymbol
Thev would not iteglect qn Sunday,
to hear the word of God ; but they
suffer their tempers, all the rest of
the week, to run counter to the mild
and peaceful spirit of the gospel :
and sometimes it is to be feared they
return from the sacred altar of the
Lord, to exercise a harsh dominion
over their unfortunate dependants at
home. But you my friends, be not
like them. Have you servants,
whose comfort in a great measure is
in your power. Remember that you
also, have a master in Heaven. To
your superiors in age and experience,
be respectful and attentive ; be open
8c unaffected ; cheerful, and obliging
to your equals ; be just and sincere,
disinterested 8c courteous to all. No
thing can justify a single act of ca
price, sullcnness, or ill humour. If
you would be happy yourself, strive *
to make all about you happy. It is 1
the law of your nature, and the equi
ty of Heaven : You, cannot destroy
the peace of others, without wound
ing your own.
Lay your imagination under the
severest dicipline. Young people
especially, of your sex, are willing
victims of the illusions of fancy.—
You enter upon life, as an enchant
ed country. The world in your
eyes, has no caprice ; fortune no vi
cissitude ; friendship is without in
sincerity; attachment without bitter
ness ; and marriage is all happiness,
without alloy. But trust not these
smiling delusions. Experience will
not realize them. Look through
them with the eye of reason, and see
things as they are. The world at
best, is but a checkered scene of good
| 8c evil. Such vain expectations will
destroy your relish for rational plea
sure, and leave you neither resoluti
on to perform the duties of vour sta
tion, nor fortitude to encounter the
unavoidable calamities of life.
In the choice of books, consult
the v/itdcm and experience cf some
tried friend, on whose judgment you
can safely rely. This is a matter of
great importance. The enemies of
virtue are ever on the alert. In the
tile of fancy, in the poet’s song, in the
light pages of a novel, in the co
lumns of a newspaper, and shame
on the unworthy prostitution of ta
lents! even in the sober and digni
fied records of history, you will find
the subtle poison of irreligion. E-
verysnareis spread,8t every disguise
assumed, to complete the ruin ol in
nocence. Beware, then, how you
read and guard your little library
from the intrusion of the dangerous
and seductive Volume, with as much
care, as you would guard your heart
from impure and wicked thoughts.
Without delicacy, no woman can
be lovely. It is the sacred sense of
female honor, and is never broken
down without fatal consequences.— j
Delicacy extends to every thing
where women is concerned. Con
versation, books, pictures, attitude,
gesture, should all be under its salu- :
tarv restraints, if a girl ever loses
it, farwell! a long farewell, to all her
greatness !—-“ If this salt has lost its
savour wherewith shall it be season
ed !” How urifit are many parents
to educate a daughter!—What in
judicious pleasantries do they some
times use even in their presence !—
A young girl should hear, she should
see nothing that can call forth a
blush, oF even stain the purity of
her mind.
There is a vice with which your
sex is generally reproached. The
praise justly, praise Jreely : where
you find nothing to^ ajnrove, lie si
lent. The female yoice in never less
pleasing than when raised to enume
rate the faults of others; never more
melodious, than when exerted to
vindicate the honoj^ "or palliate the
failings of ;m absent'friend.
Although every stage of your life
is full of danger, and exposed to dif
ficulties particular to itself, there is
no period of time more perilous in
deed.—“ If I was called upoi\”s «ys
a charming author “ to write tie his-
“ tory of a womans trials anti sor-
“ rows, £ would date it from the mo-
,l ment, when nature has pronovtn-
“ ced her marriageable. If J had a
“ girl of my own at this critical age,
I should be full of the keenest ap-
“ prehensions for her safqty ; and,
“ like the great poet vhen the
“ tempter was bent on sed/icing our
“ first parents from theirtnnocence
“ and happiness, I would/invoke the
“ assistance of some guardian angel,
“ to conduct her through the slippe-
“ ry and dangerous path”
Marriage is doubtless the most
natural, innocent, and iBeful state if
you can form it to any tolerable ad
vantage.—It bids fairest Cor that por
tion of happiness, wHch this life ad
mits, and is in some Regret, a duty,
which you owe to thdworld.
Yet, “ they that Inter into the
state of marriage,” says an old Eng
lish writer, “ cast a dc of the great
est contingency, and yet of the great
est interest in the woild, next to the
iasi throw for eterrity. Life or
death, felicity or a listing sorrow,
are in the power of marriage. Yet
a woman ventures most, for she has
no sanctuary to retire to from a cru
el husband. No ! shs must weep at
home, and brood over her own sor
rows. She may, indeed complain to
God; butinthccauseofunkihdness,
she has no other appeal.” Now
therefore, summon to your aid, all
that reading, observation, the advice
of parents and friends, and long liv
ed experience has power to bestow.
Pause before you uc that gordian
knot, which death alone can unloose ;
and before you decide on a measure
of such incalculable importance, be
sure that reason approves your con
duct and forget not to implore the
direction of Heaven.
If a person come to a serious de
claration in your favour, affect no
prudish aira of reserve. If you
really feel an affection for him and
can indulge it with prudence do not
scruple to acknowledge it, or to treat
him, with the greatest openness and
candour.—This will engage forever
the esteem of every liberal and ho
nest man. If you cannot receive him
as a lover, youwill not fail to retain
him a& a friend. Suffer not your
imagination to be dazzled with mere
splendor. The glitter of wealth
and equipage has induced many a
poor girl to sacrafice her peace at the
shrine of vanity : and her nightly
pillow steeped in tears and bitter re
gret, has soon told her, that.“ better
is a dinner of herbs where love is,
than a stalled ox and hatred there
with.”—Never suffer yourself to
think, with partiality, of a person
who is not guided by religious prin
ciples. A good man alone is capa-
foy v :’.' spring. The Almighty will
look* down from Heaven with appro
bation, and crown the happy pair
wiih the choicest of his bier, sings !
And now my young friepds I com
mit you ta,the care of him who is the
tender father of all hL creatures.
The world is before you, full of diffi
culties and danger. Pleasure will
spread her thousand snares to de
ceive you ; your passions will solicit
unbounded gratification, and even
your own heat will prompt you to
deceive yourselves ; but you are in
the hands of the greatest and best of
bcing§ > an d, whatever your lot may
be, riches or poverty, health or sick
ness, the state of marriage or a sin
gle life, you will be still beneath the
watchful, eye. Fear not. Be vir
tuous, he cheerful, be contented. See
that your heart he right, strive to do
your duty, and leave the rest to
Him.
SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.
I know I must die: But what
preparation have I made for it ? O
my soul! what evidences hast thou
of Heaven l I must die : But I
am now dead to sin? Imustap
pear before goo in j udgimm't » But
what account can I give of my life ?
1 hose who are pardoned through
Faith in Christ, and Sanctified by the
Holy Ghost, will be eternally happy :
But is this my case ? Am I pardon
ed ? Have I repented ? Have I
forsaken sin, anti do I delight in
god and his services, and carefully
shun all evil company, and evil words
and actions ?
In more than ten years federal prin
ters have scarcely approved one art
of their own government or condemn
ed one of the British government ■!
Can it be that in such a length of
time the British government has done
nothing wrong, 6r that ours has done
nothing right ?—Or is this conduct
of those printers owing io their par
tiality to Britain, and their enmity
to this country, which will not allow
them to see Or represent things is
they really are.—True American.
If you say a word against the
British government, federal printers
fly into a terrible passion ; but you
may rail against your own govern
ment as loud and as long as you
please, without offending them in
the least! Is this Federalism, or is
it Toryism?—ib.

own determination that we withdraw

Mr. Pinkney will have ill. audi

that all the insiduous designs of Bo

that we shall in the spring be invol

Morning Chron.
If we have war with America,
which we can scarcely believe, it will
not be our fault ; unless, indeed it
be a fault not to propitiate the U.
States by abandoning those princi
ples upon which our greatness, secu

From the National Intelligencer.
Certain persons, for whose opini

Extract of a letterfrom an American
in Copenhagen, to his correspon

Copenhagen, Dec. 81. 1810.
“It is impossible to give you an
idea of the arts used here to condemn
innocent property. The most vile
bribery is used to induce the crews
of ships to forswear themselves, and
in many insta;as they are hut too
successful. Latterly they have sent
I all the vessels lug books to Mr.
| Wcugle who has invariably given a
certificate that either the log book
was false ; or it was doubtful whether
the vessel tame from Amei ica. This
latter was our cuse, deduced from
capt. C Vs having no chart of part
of the Atlantick ocean, or a few tri

the Mate’s private journal. This

on this subject, purporting to be an
authorised authentic statement, re
presents the measure as a rupture,
proceeding from a difference of opi
nion. Admitting this to be true, is
it candid, is it correct, to denounce
the President without demonstrating
that his opinion oii public affairs is
less accurate than that of Mr. Smith ?
To say that Mr. Smith differed
from the President is merely to say
that the President differed f rom Mr.
Smith ; but this proves nothing as to
the merits of the difference, and the
merits only can explain the nature
of the motive. If the President’s
opinion be right, and that of Mr.
Smith be wrong, it will not be deni
