THE Peach-tree with too eager haste To shew its blossoms to the sun, Gives oft its pretty bloom to waste Before the frosts of Spring are done. Much wiser is the Mulberry, Which only thinks its leaves to shew, When leaves are green on ev'ry tree, And roses have begun to blow. They most ensure Success and Praise, Who, guided by the Rule of Reason, Do sitting things on sitting days, And dress as most becomes the season.

PLUTOST meurier, Qu'amandrier. D'AMANDEL bloeyt vroeg, de Moerbesy laet; Maer let eens wie het beter gaet! SAT citò, si sat benè. Assez tost, si bien. HAEST genoeg, Is't wel genoeg. Soon enough begun, That which is well done. DRESS drains our Cellar dry, And keeps our Larder lean. -COWPER. FOND pride of Dress is sure a very curse. Ere fancy you consult, consult your purse. -BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. THE most vionlent Passions will sometimes allow us a repsite, but Vanity leaves us no response. -LA ROCHEFOUCAULD.

PROIN quidquid est, da tempus ac spatium tibi: Quid ratio nequit saepè sanavit mora.-SENECA, Agam. Si quid benè factum velis, tempori trade.-Ibid. DA spatium tenuemque moram, malé cuncta ministrat Impetus.-STATIUS. DIFFER, habent parvae commoda magna morae.-OVID. THE mean, is the point nearest to Wisdom: it is better not to reach it at all, than to over-run it.-Chinese Proverb. LET Reason guide you at all times, even in the nost unimportant things. PYTHAGORAS. AVOID doing that which may draw down upon you the reproaches and the envy of our neighbours. -PYTHAGORAS. Know your oppurtunity, and do not speak before-hand of that which you will do. Should your project fail, you will furnish subject for ridicule to those who are jealous of you. -THALES.

Esto cultu modicus. WE are told by Jewellers that there is no Diamond of so fine a water, but it requires some aid to improve its lustre. This observation has been also applied to young women. No objection can be made thereto, provided it be understood in a sitting and healthy sense. For it is indisputable that Virtue and Modesty are the greatest ornaments or auxiliaries to the Beauty of Woman. LA chasteté est la première beauté. EXTERNAL Show and costlines of Dress are pernicious in their effects upon the female mind, and tend to sap the principles of Virtue and Modesty. As regards her attire, the motto, of a virtuous young Woman should be:- Nitidè, non delicatè. Reyn gekleet, En niet te breet. Clean in Dress, Without Excess. Ne sois Paon à toy parer, Ny Perroquet en ton parler, Ny Cicogne en ton manger, Ny Oye aussi en ton marcher, SUSPECTA semper ornamenta ementibus. VEEL vlaggen, luttel boters. WHOSE adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on a apparel. - I Peter iii. 3.

THE Crafts-man did me of pure tallow frame, And made me fit to nourish heav'ns flame; One thing remain'd, that I should take with fire, When season due, and sit houre doth require: Loe how the rats catching me all alone, With envious teeth my body cease upon; I dye before my day, they life prevent; Before I live, my livelesse body's spent: I dying could with teares my death bemoane, But this untimely death doth yeeld me none. The infant so oft doth it selfe entombe, Before it see the day, in mothers wombe. So by untimely death youths hope decayes, Which might have well deserved many daies. FARLIE'S Emblems.
