THE GARLAND.
''A I’UllI)AV KVKMNC;, NOVKMHK.il 11, 18J6.
We have devoted a considerable portion of this
number to a Review of and extracts from, “ Tn n
I n or lilt iTiTfiit,” a poem by an Ann roan Raid,
Daniil Him in, I-A j tint Clitics are so fastidmus
in their conduct ton a i ds native merit, and tin* pub
he taste stems to have been so long' susceptible of
gratification only from foreign sources, that the
amiable author m o consider himself somewhat tor
tmiate to have even comttion pi-cco nutid out to
him. The rr tic in this case, lic.wever, has been
compelled to admit the manifokl beauties of the
uoiii, and the reading public may feel confident
ot a largo share of gratification fiom its perusal —
1 he pleasant manner, too, in which the author has
borne toe unfavorable pints of the criticism, is no
small evidence cl' his good, tc-po-iiion as well as
good sense, and, will cl.title the future efforts of his
muse to tin most favorable reception !.\ the unpiv
"idiced and candid, lie has a further and stronger
clem upon the gratitude and patronage of the Ame
te an people, in idle Idle generous exeition o! his
fall fits for the relief, of a suffering bard. lie pos
sesses no! merely a hurmonv of thought, but ifs
soul harmonizes with the noblest f. clings ui imu.i.u
nature. Ami although we do not lay claim to the
possession ui critical acute mss upon such points,
r t c unhesitatingly agree Moth the Reviewer,
“ toat the stock ot American literature has received
a valuable acquisition in the I.ay of t.latitude.”

Some advocate ro: iuot.ish vafeiy may tai l;* ■).,—
“ l'liis cynic is equally displeased with a thin or
warm dress , and satirises the fashions, rather from
a desire to vent his spleen, than to correct impro
priety " The female habit, however, ought neither
to he so light as to give the wearer the appearance
of a paper kite, subject to be Carried awav bv every
g i'1 ; nor so warm as to remind 11s of the climate
of Hnsva or I .upland.
Simplicity of dress, is, like modesty of manners,
the handmaid of grace. Gorgeous ornaments dis
tr e t the if.: iginalion of the observer; and the wearer,
like the silk-worm, is hid amid her own magnifi
cence. Hut a decent gar!., adjusted to the elegant
contour ot the female form, concealing thu . hcau
ti-'s that would obtrusively force themselves upon
1 air observation, and harmonising with a virtuous
muni; this is the dress tliat we should recommend
to the fair sex , and which, combined with a modest
demeanour, is more attractive than the cestus of
\ onus ’ can render a va n heautv more amiable, im
press the idea ot angelic perfection and innocence
on the mind of the belt older, and compel t.s to adore
virtue tints personified in woman !
A reasonable wife ought not onlv to seek in her
frugally and industry to avoid the shame and injus
tice that attach to a prodigal and ruinous conduct ;
hut li'Tt ue motive in retrenching superfluous ca
l', ii-esshuuld be,to enable her to perform mut t libe
rally v. hat good brio ding, ti iendship, or charity, may
tvqu're. It is good order and regularity in the
whole household, nut sordid parsimonv in trifles,
w hich bring in gia at profit. [<\f/i. Ilitcfl
