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!

One article 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 ed that to remove the wrong opini- nion was the best way to strengthen the right one ; and in such case, the motive would be laudable.
