To guide the Shepherds’ lonely way,.j,
Yon ‘star bedecks the sky ; i
It sheds a mild, benignant ray,
' A love-beam from on high.
But see——its radiant course is stay’d--
And brighter glows its light, _
O’et where the young Rede_emer’s laid,
To greet the shepherds’ sight.’
And now, the tuneful choir above,
- Th’ enrapturing strain prolong --
' The wondering stvains adore and love,
And etfrth repeatsthe song.‘
No goldétt tassels grac’d the bed,
’Where the blest infant lay ;
But I-I'eaveu’s own light around wasslietl
To hail his natal day.

' DOMESTIC EC0.N'0.MI7.
Idon’t subscribe to all the city papers, but I
read thorn at a coffee house, where, for one shil-
ling, I get a cup of strong and refreshing coffee,
and have an opportunity of pursuing my old habit
of studying characters at the same time. A few
da_ys.ago, I amused myself with counting the
marriages in my friend‘ John Lang’s Gazette, and
also the paper published by little Mr. Butler--
but I was really shocked to see such afalling oil‘.
It appeared to me, that in a community so exten-
sive asours, there is one third less marriages
than isnecéssary to maintain a fair ’éq‘uilibritnn
ol‘populat_io_n._‘ ‘vVliy don’t people marry ? ‘Why
are there sotmany autiquatetl damsels and super-
annuated bachelors? Aye, thinks‘ I, there's the
question--but it can be solved. The errors of

tendency. to keep them s'e'parate_d, till young la-
dies become old, and old‘ bach_elors.marry to get
nurses. VV':hy not adopt new systems, and set on
foot a radical reform at once ? 1 would begin with
children at a very early age, and accustom them
to simple and nutricious fare, very plain dress,
and hardy amusements; the girls should be stir-
ring and active, familiarized at an early period
with domestic concerns, quick and expert at their
needle ; their leisure hours should be devoted to
their books; they should read judiciously and
write frequently, for writing well is an elegant
accomplishment ; if I -could afford it, a little mu-
sic and tlanrino‘ °hou_ld also be acquired, but they

coxcomb will whispei"his_fl_uttet'y in her tender

these fine thingsftliat she will neglect injdispenszu

ers are justi_liecl‘_i~n."bz~inging them out, they ac-"
quire habits and ideas which ‘render it’ necessary
that they should be kept at /IOIIZC. Then the boys
are very apt to be equally spoilt by the indulgence
of mamma,and the tr-a_uq.uil compliance of father:
Bob must have a superfiuetblue coat at forty dol-
lars, a dandy neckcloth, and chains and seals, be-
cause it is the fashion, forsooth; and money in
his pocket to visit the third tier of boxes in our
theatre, to eat oysters andice cream, smoke sc-
gars, and driuk_bran'dy‘and water: These I .in-

must come in for a share of the extravaganties.

every thing; if it be ajpernicious one, it_cannot
fail to produces pernicious effect. ‘ Train up a
child in the way he should ‘go, and when he is old
he will'not depart from it.’ ' . ;’
If parents will only have firmness to resist the
dren ; if theyadopt a correct and wholesome sys-
tem, and enforce it with unyielding strictness, in
a very short time the good effects will be discern-
ible‘--and, what at first, children violently and ob-
stinately opposed, they will, at length, cheerfully
submit to, and all will go Oh 8m00lh and happy-
I\lar_riage_s, therefore, are rare, because the par-
ties=fia1' each other. A young man of moderate
expectations, fears the extravagance of a wife;
A ting woman fears that her husband would
her custoinaxy, indulgencies, and thus
and keep them apart. It cannot be
ecessary to bring up daughters extravagantly

red lately in Baltimore, -among merchants who
that their wives and daughters-believed well on
the occasion, and resigned their l-nxuries and ex-
travagancies n=it‘hout a sigh. This is creditable to
themcerta‘inly—but had they not been” led into
these extravagancies,may be their reverses would
never have happened—av0i‘d all causes of unhap-
piness. The other day Isaw _a pretty young la-
dy purchase a white satin !‘I(llCl)le with clasps,
for six dollars, and in a few minutes afterwards
she went into Mrs. Poppleton"s--now, thinks I,
she feels a little faint with walking, and intends
eating a tart or jumble, and drinking a glass of
lemonade or some suchfeasonable refreshment ;

cake, and after demolishing a good half, she thrust
the remainder in her--ridicule, -and in a few min-
utes the white satin became quite af'fecte_d by the
grease of the’ cake, and was, of course, useless-;
there is six dollars and a half goneatouce, which _
would have supported twelve‘ poor families one
, day. The gentlemen, however, set badtexamples,
and the ladies, unfortunately, imitate them.
This coat cost me 45 dollars, said a lasliionahle
friend to me--feel the cloth, 16 dollars per yard.
What extravagance '1 VVhat waste of money 1-
No wonder merchants break—no wonder people
marry so seldom. Ifa different system is not a-
dopted, I shall begin to fear that the happiness
of the community. its prosperity‘ and increase
will be seriously affected. Dandy bachelors and
antiquated belles, will usurp the places which
should be occupied by young married couples,
and smiling infants; and IIymen’s torch, which
should burn bright and clear, will be" dimmed by
the mildews of fashionable extravagance and ru-
inous bankruptcy. How.A.:in.

although I have found no reason for changing my
well known opinion of the perniiciotzsl effects of
the inordinate use of tobacco, in any form, Inev-
ertheless cannot perceive the same objection to
yours. The articles are certainly innocent in
their qualities. Those liable to nervous and oth-
er head-aches well know that fits ofthese dis-
tressing affections, most commonly subside on a
spontaneous sneezing towards night, and if this
reliefcan be expedited by a stcrnuta‘.ory,l slitrutd
give the preference to your snuff over that of
