THOMAS BYRD, Jr. Adm’r. February 9.—40ds. by the name of rhyme, it is possible for a person of very common ingenuity and knowledge of the mean ing of words to give his ideas that shape, though they be wholly destitute of the poetic quality. The varieties of prose writing are too numerous to take even a general survey of them; and we shall therefore only make a few brief remarks on that which a youthful “ entertainer of mankind” is most apt' to ifall in with; we allude to the flofid style.— The principal characteristic of this style is the pre fixing of one or more simple or compound adjectives to almost every noun, and is, perhaps, of all others the most difficult to be ^naintained with pleasing ef fect : no other is so iikply to afford an exemplifica tion, in the literary way, of the opinion attributed to Buonaparte, that “ there is but one step from the sublime to the ridiculous;” or if that position will not here apply, there must then certainly be many steps from the ridiculous to the sublime. It is often interspersed, with elegance, in short' portions, in the works of most writers; and the English barrister familiarly called * Orator Phillips,’ has in a number of instances used it throughout a speech, with much effect; but he has also made many failures, and ex posed himself to much jeering. The following pas sage from Blair’s Lectures is pointed on the subject: A Acrid style implies excess of ornament. . In a young composer it is not only pardonable, but often a promising symptom. But although it may be al lowed to youth in their first essays, it must not re ceive the same indulgence from writers of more ex perience. In them judgment should chasten ima gination, and reject every ornament which is unsuita ble or redundant. That tinsel splendor of language which some writers perpetually affect, is truly con temptible. With such, it is a luxuriancy of words, not of fancy. They forget that, unless founded on good sense and solid thought, the most florid style is but a'childish imposition on the public.” If, therefore, writers Would have the semblance of maturity in their essays, they had better deal but sparingly in this style. , .. .. a We have somewhere met with the. axiom that great readers seldom write much, because they find nearly every thing that could occur to-them has been ably treated of already.” This, no doubt, is measurably true; nevertheless, it is common to meet with a new and better survey of “ oft trodden ground.” However, we arc inclined to the belief, that more reading wonld sometimes supersede much toil in writing, or at least excite greater discrimina tion in the choice of themes.

FOR THE ATHENIAN. Mr. Editor—I am one of that strange race of beings who arc never pleased with any one or any thing; and are always dissatisfied with themsjelvcspand of course, are desirous to have every thing different from what it is. I*have always desired to have a world of my own, where I might regulate matters to suit myself) and dictate, in every instance, every regulation of the fashionable people. I have become most heartily sick of every body and every thing I sire—I want tdi remodel the customs, change the manners, mend the ways, settle the principles, and transform the appearances of every creeping tiling. In fact, I want a world to suit my oWn taste, whe ther it is unlike any other that ever was or ever will be, or whether it is disliked by the people of this. I would revolutionize the customs of the la ies, in the first place, I would make them more docile in their manners, more tractable in their dispositions, and 9omeIwould obliterate from existence or make them more constant in their affections—I would strive my utmost to make them rational creatures, or at least, to conform to reason, a? far as possible—I would discard the harp, and institute in its stead the use of the peedle—I would exchange the piano for the wheel, and break every looking-glass and destroy every toilette, and give them healthy exercise in the room of paint, and an industrious disposition in the place of pretty looks, pretty clothes, and almost fainting exclamation—I would burn every rag of muslin for winter’s wear, and give them good com fortable thick dresses to exclude the cold damp air— I would throw awayovery pairofprunelle shoeB, and famish them with good thick solid calf-skin boots in their stead, and then I should not be disturbed with harking coughs, nor weak and feeble constitutions that grow sick at every change of weather. The married ladies I would make obedient to the husband, and teach them the impropriety of extra vagant scolding, and the necessity of close attention to their domestic concerns, and in turn I would make tliehusbands so conformable to what was right, that wives should have no cause to provoke their scolding. I have always been taught to believe that all things were made in reason and for some reason : that na ture owns nothing in the vast domain of all her works which was not created for some grand reason, and that all things that are, are reasonable—Philoso phy has taught me all this, and has accounted for al) things with good and sufficient reason. But there are some appearances in the beau momie, for which it never has accounted, and as l wish a change, and that change guided by reason, be pleased to tell me, Mr. Editor, if you can, the reason of those I am about to relate. I want to know the reason why sills lace themselves up in boarded jackets, and twist and 8 u eze themselves until their bodies ap pear like so.no odd figure without a name, and spoil the pretty shapes which natuie gave them. I want to know the reason why girls and matrons fair, take so much pains to make their persons neat and fine, and leave their minds obscured in ignorance. I want to know the reason whj girls are so fond of running about from store to store, and waste their precious time in idle gadding, without bestowing it upon their domestic business. I want, but perhaps I am tedi ous, Mr. Editor, in asking so many questions; be pleased to tell me this and then I am done—why are the girls so full of coquetry ? Of all unreasonable things I do dislike this the most, and you may guess the reason, for if ever experience taught man a lessen have received one. However, I am very well con tented to think that I got off as well as I did without losing body as well as soul, and the more I reflect upon it, the better I like it, for never did the Poet, say more true .than when he declared, “ The girls were all a fleeting show For man’s illusion given.” Often had I shrugged up my shoulders and wrapt myself up in the consoling reflection, when I have seen a poor fellow bowing before the angels of terres- tial birth, that I was not in his place—oft have I drank the balm of my favourite— “ Some girls are full of coquetry, And bold as the old Harry, Such girls will never do for me, So hang me if I marry.” But this, Mr. Editor, is one thing which I would change had I the making of a world; and all the coquettes should be compelled to dance a month on “ Fiddler’s Green,” for every act of their coquetry and every male coquette, who was found in the commission of such an act, should be compelled to love some gentle maid, with deep arid heartfelt love, and bear all the pains, and doubts, and sighs, and half distracted eager longings, which ever racked the soul, for three long tedious months, for every vio lation of the law, anil then should find his love dis carded. Now, Mr. Editor, perhaps you may think me singular and odd in ihy wishes and regulations, but to convince you that I am not'alone, I wiil copy a part of a letter which I have just received from a friend—“Dear Friend: I had the gratifying pleasure a few evening since of spending an hour or tworin company with the celebrated Miss. — , who you know has set the hearts of all our young fellows on fire. I had never seen her before, and of course was FdR the Athenian.

FOR THE ATHENIAN; THE DREAM OF W \Tt/ The tolling bell had just annotrn “ numbers hoarse,” the hour of nine ; ready had the weary traveller sought re fuge from the peireinge of the wintry blast the gurgling murmurs of the babbling b which oft had cheered the lonely watflerer 6n his solitary way, were hushed into f■ ‘ y tbe^torturing maniples of winter’ ^ fl^ern and unrelenting god.

With cautious tread I approached the door of the house, some times hesitating whether to enter or not, at last I assumed sufficient courage to rap, when the door was imme diately opened, and I was ushered into the room where all the beauty, wit, and wealth of our town were congregated. The rays which broke from their angelic featured seemed to me as powerful as those which would have fell from the meridian blaze of day upon the cheerless hour of midnight. If I had eVcr a thought, it was then lost—if ever confu sion rent my intellectual factulties, it was then. I had heard, and I had imagined, but I did not believe that such beauty was ever possessed by any of the human race as belonged to this young lady. I sta red and gazed, but this would not answer; my sou! was lost in love, in wonder, and in admiration. So far was it lost to my controul, and so completely was I lost to every' thing but admiration, that once I had nearly swallowed my rap, and again had taken the Waiter from th<^ servant in the room of a plate • I looked, and such symmetry of person, such beau’y of features, such complete refinement of test* in dress and appearance I never witnessed before. Must I stand aioof and let others enjoy the feast of conversa tion ? No, I resolved, forthwith, to have an intro duction, and obtained it. The spell by which I was -bound seemed to grow’ stronger; at last I essayed to speak, and touched upon my favourite theme, the It was the well known post-boy.

Isnatched the papers from hirrif'and handing one to Elizabeth; who sat, surrounded by all the enamouring charms of loveliness., was soon lost to every other object, in the perusal of their interest-* ing contents. That love, which had been exbited by the beauty and the charms of my adored Elizabeth, and confirmed by the ac complishments of her mind, and the con geniality of her disposition, though not sup* planted, was nevertheless hushed for a mo* merit, by the love of country. Cupid, that arch God who had so lately reigned sole mastet of my affections was constrained to yield a mod’cum of his prerogative, to the genius of patriotism-—one only subject oc* copied my mind, and that was the national 1 honour of my beloved country/ i Deeply was I engaged in pond <r ring over the interesting matter of the^Truly useful National Intelligencermy every faculty was absorbed in thought, when a low and scarcely audible sigh broke upon my ear. It could not, with propriety, he called a sigh —’twas more like the irregular heaving of some bosom, not wholly at eaMv For .a moment my attention was arrested, and it - v was but momentary—I was again'soon in# volved in study. A second, out still rp< jr®* distinct and audible one, prompted me to . cast up my eyes, and oh! what emotions*- what anxiety—what intense solicitude experience, when I beheld my lovely, angelic Elizabeth, pale and trembling, i under the influence of ‘some strong grievous passion. The ; foseate tints, whir like the lingering rays of the departing sun lend fresher charms to beauty, had vanished from her dimpled cheek and left nought but, the. whiteness of the lily—the true emblem of innocence.
