 pleasure little unregulated. l undertake to say, that you do it most, and least, when vOu have your friends about you most, when you have something new or pleasant to recommend to their palates, and an ex- ample to set them least, when the pleas ure of meeting one another and chatting and laughing makes you forget the other' and you have found the true excitement belonging to your nature See, Madam you take book when you have not anoth- CT friend by you: the chicken does not absorb your attention; Tom Jones and the merry thought have it between them.

 LGdy.-I wish, indeed, to think that am not so fond of devouring, as my-what shall say,-my-fondnes for eating would imply.

 Writer.--And it is very charmingly said. You do net like the phrase, but are too sincere not to use it. An, Madam, you are fonder of much peter things than eating, and your foudness for those should enable you to discover how alien,i in reality, you are from that.

 Lady.-Those are odious phrases,- fond of chicken, fond of asparagus ,-fond of-no, come, nothing shall induce me to say, fond ot pig.

 Vriter.-If had authority with you, believe I should allow you to be fond of any thing seeing that you unite sincerity and good humor in this charming man- ner.

 Lady.--Alas, Sir, blush while am sincere. But how am to get over this sorry habit of indulgence Fer l do not pretend that can do it at once.

 Writer.-You are a very delightful per- son,that is certain; and forgive me for say- ing it so abruptly, for l cannot help it. But you are reformed Madam, already for you have taste and truth, and heart. Any body who has these may reform an ill habit, especially if they do not set a. bout it in mere volatile hurry; and partic- ularly, if they have friends and admirers to help them with their regard. Now, Mad am, you have a right to be complmented painful effort but you shall have pleas urable one, for you must begin with enj joy- ing your breakfast doubly to what you have done.

 L0dy.-Indeed! how must do that.

 Writer.-You must begin with early rising.

 Lady.-Early rising What and this weather too!

 Writer.-Yes, Madam like Aurora, or Venus, who was unquestionably an early riser. See the first book of Virgil, where she meets Eneas at day-break. Besides i; was she not Venus grant you she went to bed early but SO could other beauties, if they did not lie late. know what you are going to say,-the pain-the difficulty the astonishment of the servants-the delicious wilful nap-the warm sun to get up by (if any) the warm fire at all events -the leisure-the snugness-the satisfac- tion-perhaps the coffee in bed, and some- times the novel.-Madam, have gone through with all this myself and perhaps should never have got out of its if it had not been for the i'll effect which am sure to feel if I lie late 7; and which renders early rising in me less meritorious than in any body know. You, for instance, who experience no i'll effect at present from lying too late (though unquestiona- bly, it adds every day something to what you would regret by and by) would have great merit in getting up. Also, Mad am, you would soon be little less plump; for nothing has such an effect in that matter as early rising. It tends both to diminish what is superfluous, and to add to what is desirable in point of size be- cause nothing tends so much to put the frame in the healthiest condition. As to what I meant by the additional pleas ure at breakfast, it is this :: that although eating too much is to be deprecated in every one, eating heartily and with an appetite becomes every body in good health, man or woman and l. have in- -xaribly observed, that therhealIhiest ap- 'petites, though harty and proper ones, and by far the most enjoying, are by no mean. the most craving or contnued.- Hunger of that inveterate sort is as Ack- ly in its way as want of appetite. In good health the frame is contented with a suficiency. The blood has its natural current, and does not require to be push ed on even to uneasiness, as is sometimes the case in states of hamilton, or when one state of fever can only be replaced by another. But, Madam, the grace of the matter is the thing Beauty is our subject {; and early rising contributes as surely to beauty, as the dawn does to the beauty of the world.
