I.x'T no one pretend to rail
himfelf a gentleman, or go into
romp:-' 1 , y,k he is give nto drunk-
lying, Ran
dal, fwcaring, or any irreligious
practices i for he who fears no
(iod, neither loves nor can be
beloved by his neighbour.
Let your fociety be eomnof
men of fenlc, as we 11 as of
men of fortune, and introduce
your friends to both, for the
character of your place, or that
of yourfelf, is not made up of
.diver fponns, buc of talents and
hofpitality.
Do not introduce yourfelf to
tny one, nor exped a particular
introdudion in large companies,
for perhaps the individual thinks
little of you, and a number af
furedly think more ofthemfelves.
If you with to be acquainted
with any ft ranger, enter into
conversion with him in ref
pefiful terms, for thofc of fa
miliarity will be condemned as
infolent, arid you will have be
come Contemptible.
*When you are ulhercd into a
Provided parlor, pay your civili
ties to the miftrefs of the houfe,
then to the ladies of your ac
quaintance, then to the gentle
men of your acquaintance, and
Jiftly to ttnngers, according to
their fex, office and age, but
gently, for no one wants to be
interrupted.
Never afk for wine when wa
ter is handed, or drink another’s
health before the matter, or cake
your feat at meal, or any time
until it is pointed out to you,
for in your cwh opinion, you
Ihonld be of leal! confequcnce.
. When a perfon lias had a
particular introduction to you,
afk him his addrefs, do not for
get to wait on him then, or le
turn your vifits regularly, for if
your memory fails you, it will
he your own fault.
If a perfon enters your houfe
Vkh his hat in his hand, as eve
ry gentleman will do, fuppofe
not thi\t it is from a fenfe of his
infigniiicance, or of your im
portance, for you may he tempt
ed to remain covered, and ex
pofe your own vanity.
When any one falutes you in
the ttreet, return the faiute, if it
oe your own Have ; and If you
are Ihort-lighted, wear jpeda
dcs, chat you may know your
acquaintances, for it is better to
be (tone blind than ill bred.
Call no one from the other
• oi the ttreet, nor make a
icunge of a 4l\rty corner, or a
I xx. 1 1 mans fin op ; for p atte n -
(t;.. care not who you call your
rriends, and idlenefs is bell
penr at a coffee-houfe.
h you are at an affemblv,
< well, ami be well drelfed,
' guard again/! novelty or ec-
Aentncity, for ixowever alert or
accomplifhed you mav he, if
vou find n matter you will Jink
; ;ito ridicule.
If alone at the theatre, croud
yo irlelfon no one—and v hether
or in company, keep your
iet.c, your hat off, njid your face
/tO'vVrU uo'the ivtV Ti fc tifi~
1 pardonable to incommode or
; turn your back upon the pub
lic.
Take care rot to encroach on
others, by calling at tmufeal
hours, prolonging your vifits, or
eng rotting the •eonverfr.tion, and
afk nothing but whir is intmtt
'ing to you to receive, and indif
ferent to 'others to grant, for
without this care your credit
goes without caufe.
Che i iin your time, but afford
a little to fliew the ttranger the
public improvements, for if
your private ones are worth fee
ing, they may betray more os
tentation tiian tatte.
Think hot that forms will
give the town a charader any
more than fine clothes will make
you a gentleman, but refped the
world that the work! may ref
ped you, for this is doing unto
others as you would have others
do unto you.

RELIGION*.
Reader, whoever thou art, de
ceive not thyfclf. Suffer not
thy paffions to leducc thy rea
fons from truth —if thou haft the
faculties of a man, thou canft
never perfuade tiiyfcif chat reli
gion and morality arc idle mimes
—Struggle how thou wilt again ft
their truth and reality, be allur
ed that it is thy pafiions that have
inilguidcd thee—there will be a
moment -Alien glaring convidion
will built upon thy mind. With
out religion, what a forfaken
difconloiatc creature is man !
Loft to happinefs—a prey to his
own paHidns —i fclf- tormentor,
and lubjed to all the miferies of
confcious guilt.—Whither fhall
he fly for refuge from the puf
ftiingevils? —Whither lhall we
refort for peace and comfort ?
In religion behold the afylum ;
religion doles up every difmal
prolpedt, opens all that is de
lightful, enlarges, purifies the
faculties of the foul, and points
out a road to blifs, through paths
of peace and pleafantnefs.
Therefore, be entreated, my
readers, to confider the follies
and iniquities of your paft lives,
leek the Lord while he may be
found, call upon him while he is
near 3 C£ Let the wicked forfake
his way, and the unrighteous
man his thoughts, and turn unto
the Lord, and he will have mer
cy on him, and abundantly par
don him.”—But remember it is
only in and through the merits
of Thrift we may hope for for
givenefs, fandification and re
demption.

FEMALE PATRIOTISM

In the county of Chefhire,
Rate of MalTachufetts, the ladies
of the Rev. Mr. Leland’s church
and fociety, agreed to make a
cheefe to prefent to his excellen

in Ins being placed in the exe
cutive chair of the American
nation, and their full alfurancc of
his wielding the government at
much iels expence than his pre

hoped much better. Accord
ingly, they requefted Mr. Ice
land to procure a cheefe vac at
their expcnce, fix feet in diame
ter, and eweniy-one inches thick,
to prtfs the cheefe in ; and at a
certain day they were to allem
ble at Mr. Daniel Brown’s, with
the curd to make the cheefe.
They all punctually attended,
and placed the vat in a cyder
prefs, and then filled it witheurd.
The vat held fourteen hundred
weight of curd, and they had
three hundred weight left. This
cheefe was made irom the milk
on 900 cows at one milking.
When our informant left Che
fhire, the cheefe had not been
turned, but would be in a few
days, as the machinary for that
purpofe was nearly completed.
