ATKUDKNT HINT TO YOUNG LADIES.
When T was a young man, says Philip Thick
noss, I often visited a distant relation, to whom 1
v.nd my family had been much obliged. This
gcntlemun had nine agreeable, nay, beautiful
daughters, who had often entertained me with
the slipslop conversation of a rich,ut low, un
bred woman, their neighbor, "whose husband be
ing appointed high sheriff, occasioned her to talk
much to these ladies about the grund sheriff 'dinner
she was to give. . il I am determined, said she, to
have no custards ; for if I have custards, I must
have cheese-cakes ; and if I have cheese-cakes,
1 must "have jellies ; if jellies, fruits," &c.
As I usually spent my Christmas at the country-seat
of this, friend, with his lovely family,
there sometimes arose a kind of merriment, cal
led Christmas gambols, questions and commands,
J fcc Kqw these Innocent sports led the: gentle,
men sometimes to salute the young ladies all
around ; a pleasure in which I alone, who perhaps
loved them best, always declined partaking. This
shyness in me seemed so unaccountable to them,
that they one and all seized an occasion to rally
Trre for possessing a mauva'a kont so contrary to
the etiquette at that time of ihc year. I confes
sed the force of the charge, and fully acknowl
edged my guilt ; adding, that the only excuse J
could offer was, that if I had custards, I must
; , , Jiave cheese-cakes; if cheese-cakes, jellies; i(
jellievS, fruits ; and if iir short, before I had hall
done with my ifiiy they all ran away, and left me
in the field of battle, arid never rallied Id make an
attack on me again. .

It is remarked by-Miss-Kdeworth that
" a woman may always judge of the estima
tion in which she is held, by the conversation
th.it is addressed to her." When balls, fash
ionr, dresses, Sic. are the sole topics of con
versation, a lady must naturally stippote either
that a mean opinion is entertained of her un
derstanding, or that the gentleman himself is
destitute of the rich treasury of knowledge ;
ut.acquainted with the refined pleasure cf a
well stored mind ; unable to enjoy the 44 feast
of reason and the flow of somV - -
Though dress should not be esteemed our
"8ummum honum," vet it must not be alio
gether neglected. Let u man be neat fash
ionable, if he pleases, in his appearance ; it is
a respect he owes to his friends and to him
crlf, but let dress be a secondary considera
tion. All the useless accomplishments of
fashionable life cannot compensate for the
tvar.t of good sense. There are, indeed, few
females in respectable society who cannot
quickly discern and appreciate a vacant or
'vrll informed mind.
A display of learning in female society
shoud also be avoided. The pedint is as
liI.tlv esteemed as the coxcomb. Conversa
tion should in a great degree be suited to the
company ; but whether grave or gay, should
dways evince a reflecting mind, and be wor
thy of a rational man. Independent of th im
mediate pleasures we enjoy in the possession
of knowledge, the advantages we derive from
it are innumerable. It is this that commands
the esteem of our acquaintances, an esteem las
ting, because based upon solid acquirements,
that when once attained arc ours through life !

Domestic scenes are the source of our most
substantiaTenjoyments. Fatigued with busi
ness, or dispirited wth vexation and disap
pointment, we cast our thoughts to our lamilv
circles. If all Ihere is harmony, peace and
innocence, we are sure oi a relief from all our
troubles. "The world and all its vanities
shut out," it forms a little paradise. Such a
family I knew. Harmony and love united
the parents ; innocence, modesty and learning
conspired to make the daughters interesting.
Under these advantages they naturally at
tracted attention. Yet with all these tempta
tions, it may appear wonderful they, never
caught the contagion of fashion, which is con
lined to weak minds. No vanity diminished
their charms. Though not servile imitators
oi fashion, they were not superstitiously op
posed to a due uniformity of existing customs:
They were courteous and polite to all, with
whom they fell in company, but never encou
raged conversations respecting themselves,
nor willingly received a fulsome compliment.
They entertained company who were dispo
sed to improvement, and could instruct them.

A few months before this ingenious artist
was seized with the malady which deprived
society of one of its most distinguished or
naments, he proposed for his matchless pen
cil the work he has entitled a tail piece the
first idea of which is said to have been started
in company, while the convivial glass was cir
culating round his own table 14 My next un
dertaking," SHid Hogarth, "shall be the end
of all thing." . .. -
"If that be the case," replied one of his
friends, u iorr business will he frisked, for
there will be an end to the painter" "there
xv'i'.l so !" answered Hogarth, sighing heavily
" and therefore the sooner my work is done,
the better." Accordingly, he began the next
day, and continued his design with a diligence
that seemed to indicate an apprehension that
he should not live till he had completed it.
This, however, he did in the most ingenious
manner, by grouping every thing which could
denote the end of all things. A broken bot

with Exuent Games stamped in the corner

cried Hogarth, " nothing remains but this,"
taking his pencil in a sort of prophetic fury,
and dashing off the similitude of a painter's
pallet broken, " Finis !" exclaimed Hogarth,
"rie deed is done! all is over!" It is re
markable and little known, that he died about
a month after finishing this tail piece, hav
ing never again taken the pallet in his hand.
