On the other hand, the conduct of every female who is of the least consi deration, may be expected to exert an in fluence on the character of every gentle man with whom she associates; and that influence will be for good or evil, as she exhibits or fails to exhibit a deportment that becomes her. Indeed, so command irtg is this influence, that it is safe to cal en late upon the character' of any comrau ntty, from knowing the prevailing stand ard of female character: and that can scarcely be regarded as an exaggerated maxim, which declares that "women rule the world." 1 Let me counsel you then never to ut ly need admonish you b set it dowrf as a ter an expression, or do an act, that even fixed purpose that you will never, inten- looks like soliciting any gentleman's at tention. Remember tjiat every expres sion of civility, to be of any value, must in in any of the walks of decent society ; but I do say that ;it .sometimes exists in the frightful dimensions which I have at tributed to it 5 and that it commonly ex r ists in so great a degree as to render an excessive intercourse with .the world a with which you are to jsociate.

(!: hi. -:. tionally, be found in any circle in which there is any thing to encourage immorali ty, or any lack of reverence for the sacred principles of religion. I would have you, moreover, beware of mingling in the gay world: in scenes1 which are! designed to and not improbably to cherish a spirit of Lrotiuce an unnatural and feverish excite intnlprahle vanitv Now I, do not insist that you should ac tually decline all society up to the time of rnmntetW vour education : but I wish that your visiting, previous to that period should be, for "the most part, of an infor mal character 5 and that you " should not generally consider yourself at liberty to accept invitations, even if you should rc Cfcive them, to mingle in set circles.This accidental intercourse of which I have spoken, is all that w.ill' be necessary dur ing the period of your education, to aid yon in the formation of your manners ; and any thing beyond it will almost ine vitably interlere with your intellectual iinprovementi and of course detract from your ultimate standing in society. Let 01c assure you,! too, that you will be far less acceptable' in society, if you make you appearance prematurely, than if Vou wait'titl a properjeriod. The com mon sense of the world isrquick to discern any iniproprietv on this i subject ; and if, vhile you are yet a child, you are seen among those of mature age, virtually . .claiming -to be as old as they, you can ex pect nothing else but that you will be set down as deficient either in modesty or gcod sense. - Better; for your reputation tHat you should come too late into society than too early ; for though in the one case you might lose something in point of man 11 rs, yet in tmfbther you would lose more in the estimation of the world, on the score of del icacy and correct judgment, ltis not more important that y6u should avoid going iuto society too.eatly, than it . 1 1 1 . . ! 1 ti is tnat, vheu you do enter it, you snouia avoid mingling in it too much. Ofie bad Vv f 1 tr fla .1 ill titect ot tms would be, that it would leave . vou with too'little time for the discharge f ymir private and domestic duties. The culture of vour mind and heart, in con nexion with the ordinary cares of domes tic Ute, requires that a large part of your time should he spent at homer; and you cannot, without great injustice to your self, and those with whom ou are con nected, neglect those more private duties 'hir the sake of being always in.the bustle f the world. : ,-It is a rare thufg that you win nnd a lady who devotes an undue proportion of her time to visiting, but that jtyoii. follow her into the dorrtestic circle, j the chamber and theiireside, ypu will hd that shej evinces, "a. proportional . -neg-' ftct of some of the duties belonging to the fraught ment or the spirits, which are with no intellectual or moral advantage, and in which the introduction of grave or useful discourse would be the. signal for disquietude or disgust. I do not, by any means, insist that your associates should all be from the number of those who are professedly or actually, pious; nor do I object at all to-your intercourse with them being of a cheerful, and sometimes, if you please, an amusing character; but I do in sist that they should be persons of correct moral views and habits, and that your as sociating with them should be for some higher purpose than merely to kill time, or to cultivate a spirit of trifling. It were desirable too, as I have had elsewhere occasion to remark concerning your par ticular friends, that the circle with which you chiefly associate, should possess a good degree of intelligence; that thus your social intercourse may be instrumen tal in improving not only yur heart but your understanding. If . you take due precautions on this subject, the time that you pass in society, instead 01 being lost, may subserve, in a high degree, your most important interests; while the neglect 01 such precautions will render the same hours sl mere blank in the period of your probation. It is natural and proper that those with whom you chiefly mingle should be front the same walks; of life with, vourself.

In all cases of this kind, never suffer your self to be deluded by any r thing that is connected with the pride or crcumstan ces of life; and do not think it a privilege to mingle in Society of the most elevated worldly rank, provided there beany thing in it to put in jeopardy your moral prin ciples and feelings. And let me say too, that, though you may very properly ac cept a fair and honorable introduction in r to any. circle, no matter how elevated, yet youfOught never, by a single action, word or look, to signify a wish fe any such dis tinctlon. It would indicate a species of ambition certainly not the jnost honora ble, and if you should accomplish your! object it is more thau probable you would be perfectly voluntary ; and any wish on your part, wnetner airectiy or inoirecuy expressed, to1 make yourself atavonte, wil be certain to awaken the disgust of al who know it. 1 would not recommend to you any thing like a prudish or affected reserve; but even his were not so unfor tunate an extreme, as an excessive for wardness.' While you modestly accept any attentions winch propriety warrants let there be no attempt at artful insiuua Uon on the one hand, or at taking a man's heart by storm on the other. Be not ambitious to be considered belle. Indeed I had rather vou would be almost any thing else that does notinvolve gross moral obliquity, thanfthis. It is the fate of most belles that they become foolishly vain, think of nothing and care for nothing, beyond personal display and not unfrejnuently sacrifice themselves in a mad bargain, which involves their des tinies for life. The more of solid and enduring esteem you enjoy, the. better ; nd vou ought to gain whateyer of 1 this, you can by honorable means; but to be admired, and carressed, and flatter ed for mere accidental qualities, which involve nothing of intellectual or moral worth, ought, to render any girl, who is the subi'ect of it, an object of pity. You are at liberty to desire the good opinion of every gentleman of your acquaintance ; but it would De worse than; loiiy in you to be ambitious of a blind admiration. . I will only add, that you ought to be guar ded against the influence of flattery. Rely on it, the man who flatters you, whatever he may profess is not your friend. It were a much kinder office, and a real mark of friendship, to admon ish you tenderly, yet honestly, of your faults. If you yield a little to flattery, you have placed yourself on dangerous ground ; if you continue to yield, you are not improbably undone. Adieu for the present.

T. he loud laugh oftet rose at my expense; the dry jest; the wise calculation ot losses and expen dituj'es; the dull but endless reputation of tlfe Fulton Folly.
