the sight but rotton at its heart, as marry
the woman whose only Recommendation is
external excellence. If nature has not Civ
en- vou perfect form, and face free from
every defect, do not attempt to supply
these deficiencies CT remedy these defect,
by artificial means. There are spots on the

Wavcrv, and other fashionable novels; that
thev must first treat their admirers with dis
tlain, then suffer themselves to be gradually
approached like princesses of dazzling
charms; that they must at one time, lend a
willing ear to the vows of suffers and at an

of dcsponding lovers. But true affection
should not be trammeled by such artificial
rules:
