ITS lIIPERIODSNESS AND EVILS
ONE of the greatest drawbacks' to the
good influence of society, is the almost un
rivalled Pawer of fashion upon the female
'mind. 1 1' herevercivilized society exists,
fashion eXeciscS her all-per'vading influence.
All stoop to it, more oi‘ less, and appear to
esteem it a merit to do so ; while a really
fashioicable woman,' tilting!) birth ieproba.:
ted and tideculed, has_an influence in socie
ty which is little less than absolute. Yet,
if we ehooie out of themiosf: worthless, the
most contemptible, and the leastellicient of
moral agents, it would be the slave of fash•
ion. ' '

BEAUTY lINT•ADIEIfICA.
Wes cut. the following,. by Willis, frOm
"The New. toric Mirror."
. .
Aro you beautifu i l, Madam ? •
I think I - see n slight inelinatidn of ate
thn head.
Quite between ourselves, then--=quite out
of, bearing of any plain person of yom;
.own sex--1 Wish to so, a word, to you.a
bout your, beeaty—What it worth, !fern
and elsewhoroL=how, adorable it is, and
.in some places - how•oore.thanithers--:
and how yoUr leaf of life (yOu being born
in America)
—" by, sortie der-hasty atigo was misplaced
Fate's eternal vollime."
First listen to our concession of faith.—
Porcelain and crockery, chainpaign and ci
der, sunshine and candlelight', silver cup
and tin dipper, are not of more different
quality, to our apprehension, than people
beautiful and people plain: We do not be
lieve that the plaimand the beautiful are to
be re-produced in their own likeness in an
other world, and that beauty must be para
mount alike ainotg men and angels. We
believe every thing shotild be given to beau
ty that beatity wants—every thing forgiven
beauty -err. • We haVe—no limit to our
service of beauty—no imaginable bound to
our devotion. %V are secondary—sub
jeet—born thrall to beauty.: And' in thisH
faith we shall die. ' , . I
But beauty in America is a very differ
ently. prized commodity from beauty in
England. Let us keep cicarof malting an es
sayof this,and show what we mean by paral
lel examples. Take two beautiful girls, of
the same
,comparative station ; Miss Smith
of London, daughter of a master in chan
cery, and Miss Brown of New York,
daughter Of a master-carpenter, for the for-
Mer.gentlemen li about as far.below an call
as the latter is below any aristocrat Of New
actin York; supposed or ackn wledged. • '
Miss Brown, of the Bowery, is a lovely
'creature. She excites uriosity in' Broad
way. She hindersfolic" right and left,
when shetarns rot nd in church. In the
best society of New York there is not a
prettier girl, and nature has made her ele
gantin her manners, and education 'has
done as much for her as was at all neces
sary.. Her father delights in her beauty,
and her mother is very 'proud of her ; and
she carries her heart in her bosom, to do
what i,lie pleases with it—but neither Mr.
Brown, nor Mrs. BroWn, nor M iss Brown,
ever dream that her beauty will advance
their condition in life one peg. They love
her for it—she controls the family by it—
she exert-foes influence as a belle' in their
own circle of acquaintatice , f but that is all.
Sbe lives a very gay and pleasant life,hears
of balls in more fashionable' parts of She
town, without dreaMing that,' far her beau
ty, she should be . there-;—and continues a
Bowery belle till tie -Marries a BoWery
.bean: And beauty, once Married, in that
class of our country , is like a pair of sheei
once sold---Mever inquired for again.'
Miss Smith; of London is a l itiperb . girl.
Her father was of dark complexion; and
her mother a blonde, and jet and pearl
have done their daintiest in her daft: eyes
and radiant skin. At twelve she•is consid-:
cred a beauty past accident. Her sisters,

of- the kind to which we have allusion
COPEUISSIOIIIFR OF DEEDS.
We always preach patience and forbeai
moo to our friends who lose office, though
some of them Melt up and halloo about
their loss, as bravely as Roderigo did in
the play at his wound, as if nobody over
lost nn office but them. The noisy ones
get all ayilipathy, however, : while the si
lent sufferer is paised 'unnoticed and un
mounted. •
It pleased Governor Seward, of New
York, to transmit to us, as a token, of his
Will and pleasure, that •we should be a
Commistioner of Deeds, in this State for
New York, in the place Of our peer broth
er Clark; and We enjoyed the honois and
'
emoluments for some, time, Until Gover

are pretty cleVer fellows, considering tltoir
politics.
But will they discharge the ditties,Of the
office as faithfully and solenthly as we did?
Can they look as grave.as iVa could,' when.
we tendered the Bible to the deponent,' and
asked him to kiss the Yolutne ? or wbei4
