Man is a creature of habit--an initiative animal


who. monkev.like. apes the vices of his fellow.man


and makes the expensive ioies a'iu 'oo'lsn aosu'-


des of what Is called fashionable life, his guide and


patterp Who are the leaders of the ton? Who


ars ,bev who prescribe the form and fashion OF a


garment-pronounce upon the shape OF gaiter


hoots-tho length and breadth of ladies dresses,


&c-these connoiseurs in female excellence, who


substitute stuffed bags of hay bran to fill the
crevices in Natures work-as though their feeble
wits could aught impart of beauty to the handi-
work of Him whose works are all perfection Who
are they who study to improve the human form
whose talents labor for the outward man, while all
is waste within-the soul desert, and the heart
lazar housewife make and mend and patch up all
defects-that to all outward seeming he may seem
man--whe that great attribute, the MIND, is left
wilderness, where rank weeds grow and flourish,
and choke up the germs of usefulness-the seed
which should bring forth rich fruits that would re-
pay, some fifty, some hundred fold, the cutiva-
tor Of the kindly soil. Whoever they may BE-, who
bury thus their talents in the earth, we do beseech
them to reflect. ati.sq ..fg8&5 Aotsa3hl


If this, their fashionable influence over dress,
were welded in the minds behalf how great an
influence for good would they exert! Make 1sn,-
