We must hojp ourselves, gentle rnejjjriimj iha-jwilhioamswer, whf then we may call lor Hercules to asst us. Wc arc too fond of showingout in our families ; and in this way our expenses far exceed our in comes Our daughters must he dressed o(T in tiicir silks and crapes, instead of their Uhsey tnd woolsey . Our your.j; folks are toft proud to be seen in a coarse dress, nnd thctr extravagance is bring ing ruin on our families. When you can induce jour sons to prefer young women for their real worth, rather than for their show ; whin you can get them to chusc a wife who can make a good loaf of bread, and a good pound of butter, in pre ference to a girl who docs nothing but da cc about in her silks and laces, then, gentlemen, ou may expect to sec a change for the better. TV'e must get back to the good old simplicity c' former times, if we expect to see more prosperous days. iXhc limc-ivas,. even since- my memory when- a simple note was (rood for anv amount of moncv. tbut now, bonds and mortgages are thought almost no security : anu mis is owing to the want oi con fidence. And what has caused this wait -of con faience ? Why, it is occasioned by the extrava gant manner of living; by your families going in debt beyond your ability lo pay. Examine this gentlemen, and you will find thii to be the real cause. Teach your sons to be tao pr lud to ride a hackney which their fathers cannot bay for Let them be above bei.it seen sportirig in a gig or a carriage, which their father b ii debt for. Let them have this sort of independent pride, and I venture to say, that you will soon perceive a reformation. But, until the change commences in this way in our families ; until we begin the work ourselves, it is in vain to expect better lime3. Now gentlemen, if you think as I do on this subject, there is a way of showing that you do ihintsoind butonc way i When you return to your homes, hare independence enough to put these principles in practice, and I am sure you mil uui ui uiaupvriiivbU x 4.

As soon as the order arrived, it was opened by Mr. under-sheriff Puilcn, and iia contents nude known to Mr. Brown ; and in a short lime the former gentleman, accompanied 'by Mr. Drown and two of the turnkeys, proceeded to the cells of the unhappy malefactors, for thepurpose of communicating, to them the order of the govern mcnt. 1 hey went first to Thistlewood, to whom Mr. Pullen communicated the melancholy intelli gence, prefacing it with a few words by way ot preparation, lhe wretched man received with perfect composure, observing that M the sooner it was over the better !" ...Mr.. Pullen asked him if -he- had any favor to request; and he said, with great tangfroidt that he wished the governor would take care that there was less noise in the prison at night as lie was unable to sleep wen, ana ne tiiu not ukc to nave nis rest disturbed. 1 he communication was made to the other four in a similar manner, and they received it with very little mo.e indication of feeling than wa3 evinced by Thistlewood.
