becomes
true feminine beauty as simplicity.--GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, but not expressed in fancy;
rich, not gaudy; for the apparel oft proclaims the man.--SHAKESPEARE.

No real happiness is found
In trailing purple o'er the ground.
--PARNELL.

If a woman were about to proceed to her execution, she would demand a
little time to perfect her toilet.--CHAMFORT.

Men of quality never appear more amiable than when their dress is
plain. Their birth, rank, title and its appendages are at best
invidious; and as they do not need the assistance of dress, so, by
their disclaiming the advantage of it, they make their superiority sit

It is well known that a loose and easy dress contributes much to give
to both sexes those fine proportions of body that are observable in
the Grecian statues, and which serve as models to our present

As soon as a woman begins to dress "loud," her manners and

follow strong drink.--ISAIAH 5:11.

All excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils

quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous and mad. He that is drunk
is not a man, because he is, for so long, void of reason that

Some of the domestic evils of drunkenness are houses without windows,
gardens without fences, fields without tillage, barns without roofs,
children without clothing, principles, morals or manners.--FRANKLIN.

Drunkenness is the vice of a good constitution or of a bad memory--of
a constitution so treacherously good that it never bends till it
breaks; or of a memory that recollects the pleasures of
