In consequence of the multiplication of slop shops in our city, filled with pawn brokers clothes and the musty. cast offgannents of former seasons, from the eastern ci ties, the public should be cautious to ascertain the char acter of tllo establishments in which they are invited to purchase, before they part with their money.

The public will please remember that all the subscri .lser's garments are made in this city, by competent work inert, and not gathered up like the goods now offered by "birds of passage" from the shreds and patches of '`.....iinistentslop shops. It will always be his endeavor to taiga/sin the reputation that the "Three Big Doors" have obtained for furnishing a superior style of CLO - LING in every respect, and at prices below those of say other establishment. He would again return his thanks to his friends and the public for the unprecedented patronage bestowed upon his establishment, and believing that they have found it to their advantage to deal with him, he would ropest his invitation to all those wpsh to purchase Clothing of every description at the lOwest price,to call at No. 151, LIBERTY Sr. JOHN INI'CLOSKEY. iObserve Metal Plate in the pavement. ap 26 Look at This.

I have not yet, indeed, thought of a remedy fie+ . luxury. I um not sure that in a great state'it p..J.!i10 of a remedy; not that the evil is in itself:de-4i so great as is represented. Suppose Yve include iil the defu:ition of luxury all necessary expenses, and then let us consider whether laws to prevent such expenses are possibly to be executed in a greet comma-. and whether, if they could be execuPed; intr peopie generally would be happier, Or even rich; or. IS not the hope of being one day able to trleic., chase and enjoy luxuries, a great spur to labor end industry! 'May nut luxury, therefore, produce more than it consumes, if, without such a spur, peephi w ould he, as they are naturally enough inclined to be; laiy and indolent. To this purpose, I remember ts circumstance. The skipper of a shallop,. employed between Cape May and Philadelphia, had done 'tis s.orne small ser vice. tar which he refused to be My wife understanding that he had a daughter, lea her a presort of u new fashionable cap. Three years after, this shipper being at my house with an Oki farmer cf Cape 3lav, his passenger, he mentioned the cap, and how much his daughter had been 'pleased with ir. "But," said he, "it proved a clear . cat o our congregation."--How sore—" When my daugh ter appeatJd with it at meeting; it was so much ad. mired that all the girls resolved to get such caps frond Philadelphia; and my wife and I computed that the whole could not have cost less than a hundred pounds. "True," said the farmer, "but you do not tell all the story - . I think the cap was nevertheless an advantage to us; for it was the first thing that pat our girls upon knitting worsted mittens for sale at Philadelphia, that they might have wherewithal to buy caps and ribbons there; and you know that, that, industry has continued, and is likely to continue and increase to a much greater value. and answer hotter purposes."—Upon the whole, I was more reconciled to this little piece of luxury, since not only the girls were made happier by having fine caps, but the Philadelphians by the supply of warm mittens. "In our commercial towns upon the sea coast, foe. tithes will occasionally be made. Some of, those Ishii grew rich will be prudent, live within boirnds, and. pro. serve what they have gained for their posterity., others, fo'pd of showing their wealth, will be extravagant, end ruin themselves. Laws cannot prevent this; and-Per ha,ps it is not an evil to the public: A shilling spent idly by a fool, may bo picked up by a wiser person, who knows better what to do with it. It is therefore not A vain; silly fella* bolailds a nice house, furnish. lost. es it richly, lives in it expensively, and in a few years ruins himself; but the niasons, carpenters, smiths, and other honest tradesinen, have been by his employ as. sisted in maintaining and raising their families; the far. mer has been paid for his labor, and encouraged, and the estate is now in better hands. In some cases, in deed, certain modes of luxury may be a public evil, hi the same manner us it is a private one. If there be a nation, far instance that exports beef and haat); to pay for the importation of claret and porter, While a great part of its people live on potatoes, and wear no shirts; wherein does it differ from the sot, Who lets his family starve, and sells his clothes to buy drink'? Our Amesi. can commerce is, I confess, a little in this way. We sell our victuals to the islands for rum and sugar, the substantial necessaries of life for superflnities. But we have plenty, and live well nevertheless; though by be. iml soberer, we might be richer. The vast quantity of forest land we bane vet to elm, and put in order for cultivation, wiil fora long time keep tha body cf our nation laborious and frugal.
