FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER. tl Be clothed with humility," and bare " the j ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in tne sig-ht of, God of great price." I Thh is the most graceful, becom ing and, at the same time, novel cus-, tume that has ever solicited public patronage. The mantle is of the most exquisite hue and delicate tex ture: tastefully decorated with the above mentioned costly brilliants ; and will be foUnd to unite every ad vantage of utility and elegance. This dress is suitable to all seasons, and is considered equally becoming to the young and the old. It possesses ex traordinary durability ; is less liable to take a soil than any other materi al, and retains its freshness and no velty to the last. It falls over the person in the most graceful folds; and is so adjusted as to veil every blemish, and set off the least favour able, figure to the best possible ad vantage. The colour usually prefer red for this costume is invisible green, which casts the most delicate shade upon the whole form, and pro duces an effect indescribably agreea ble and prepossessing. Nothing can be' more tastefully imagined, than the ornament with which this mantle is finished; and although this jewel is pronounced by the best judges to be of immense value, it may be ob tained upon very reasonable terms. It is so delicate in its hue, and so chaste and simple in its workman ship, that it has been mistaken, by unskilful observers, for an ordinary pebble : but connoisseurs instantly recognize it, and allow it to be "more precious than rubies.9 Notwithstan ding the many recommendations it possesses, this dress has never be come common, although universally approved. It was once worn as a royal robe, and has ever since been held in high estimation and general use, amongst the subjects; of the great Prince who first introduced it. The language of the Apostle Pe ter, quoted above, is plain and prac tical in its import. The apparel he recommends, is no fancy dress, which we are not really expected to wear. On the contrary, we riiaywe must, if we are Christians, be thus clothed with humility, and have , this orna ment of a meek and quiet spirit. Some of our young readers -would probably hear with considerable in rerest that the most becoming dress and the most brilliant jewels ever jrorn, were ottered for their accep tance. Now,' this is truly the. case. Clothed with humility, ' and adorned with a meek and quiet spirit, they ,1 would be more richly attxred r than in the mi costly arrayrS ho then will tiirn away disappointed from snch a gft, and think some sparkling bauble' raore ' desirable. l- re-?; member in: whose - sight this orna-' mtot of peit jDrice'' ( I w well 1 o.; pause, and reflect closely upon such an assertion. Many, perhaps, who spend some ; precious hours - eve ry day in' reflections Pon hput ward decorations, haye . never stopped to meditate poa this striking declarv t ation'; trtirte sight of. God of great price. 'He Isays not with gold, and pearls, and' costly art-ays," but 'wi(h trie oram p(eejc ndi-quiet -spirit." ' The expressid'rijV " not with, goidi,, kc - condemn that excessive f attention paid to Appearance which si greatly prevails among professing Christains. But our, present pur pose is to recommend that " inward adorning of the mind' which is here described. Indeed, there is little i fear, that they who eminently, shine, with these internal graces, will bo prone to excess in external decora tion. Humility, whose chief charao teristic it is to be contented to pas$ without observation, will, surely, sel dom be found excessively arrayed in those ornaments which expressly in vite it. There may be some, howtL. ever, who,, though npt destitute of this Christian grace, yet conform too much to the customs of those around j them, merely from the want of a du$ consideration of the subject " Be ye clothed Svith humility." There is a grace in the very wordj an attraction, which they who feel nott must be as destitute of true taste j a? of right principle. Th erects no age to which it does no! belong;- but to the young how eminently becoming I Humility is the very foundation of Christianity ; we must be abased, be fore we can be exalted; and our highest exaltation, must at last, rori sist in the depth of our humiliation. He who is the " High. and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity," exhibited, during the whole period of his abode on earth, a perfect pattern of this virtue. He not only, " was found irx fashion as a man," but "took upon him the form of a servant ;" and let us remember, that he sets us this exam pie in order "that we might follow hi$ steps." j - Be ye clothed with, humility : there is a. peculiar beauty in this figure. It is to cover us completely, like a garment, and without it we roust ne ver appear. This simple attire ne.'d fear no injury. A person wallvr ing the streets in delicate and costly clothing, is perpetually in danger of its being soiled and torn.; while an other, in plain garments, may go a bout without fear .of inconvenience from the common ac cidems to which he is exposed. 0 a vain, showy mind, is continually exposed to pain and mortification, from which one of a l'umble, unassuming temper is per fectly secure. And what is this orjiainent on which we ought to set so high a val ue ? A meek and quiet spirit. Ot what a different world ours would be, if this heavenly jewelry were to become fashionable ! but alas ! bow rarely do we see it worn ! we hear much oucry of wrong, insult, ingra-' titude. The peace of every private circle is interrupted, more or less, by some petty contention. And here is a simple means which would heal ev er breach, calm every storm, allay eiery irritation. -There is a certain temper called spirit in some young people, which is altogether' opposed to meekness and quietness. 1'he ve ry terms, indeed, would very pnjja bly excite in them a smile of corn tempt. But this would only prove them to be unacquainted with the nature of true dignity and real man liness. That the most perfect digni ty of character and manner is coin sistent with these virtues, was emi nently manifested in Him : who wa$ beyond all others, ;"neek aad lowly in heart." That pi'rtYw(iich is by somh so greatly admried, puld up on investigation, be found &he inade up of the most mean and pitiful qiial ities, .and,! tb proceed from a? con temptible, species of. vanity. , Buti can it be necessary to irisist on tho excellence of those ! tempers which the Bible itself recommends ? ?
