Oat of all shape is, immediately supplied
by the beauutul undulaliuns of the coat,

Aad all this is by the potency 01 yuur tailor.
His necromantic skill, unlike that of toe
many pr•etisers of supernatural arts, is ex-
ercised only fur the benefit of the world:

pose of escaping ridicule from the gods os
account of bis deformity.
But he who is most iudebted to this man-
ufacturer of elogg ant forme, is the lover: and
the base ingratitude of this suit of person
is dreardfully 'enormous. After he has
riveted the gats of hu mie upon los

miration fur his remarkable elegance, ex -
Cited the most tender perturbations by the

• complete surrender of her heart by the
striking i, tere.t of his attitude when kneel-

tuously ascribes this to his own intrinsic
Imbues, without ever remembering that
the abilities of his tailor are the sole source
of all his soecese. The very being, who
has esdow•ed such a man with all hit attrac-
tions, rests contented with the payment of
his bills, (if he be fortunate enough to ob-
late that); whilst the other, by the power
of Laminations to proeored, obtains a lovely

Such is tbe skill of that wonderful being,
the tailor, that his lransformatieno are not
more extraordinary than suddeo. The tune
which is occupied in thus new -moulding the
bunion frame a really tnvtal compared with
the stupenddos change which is literally
wrought. it is true the soul may remain
the sane, but a new body is actually given
to It by tbe lnterpo.iuoo of tertiary talent:

1t has often occurred to us tbat the occu
potions of the tailor give him • greater op
pnrtonuty of contemplating the weakness
of human nature, :ban is possessed by any
,other member of the community. There
a in all men a !merit tore of exciting admi-
ration by their exterior excellences; and
though many, who pique themselves on the

rover so strong, who would not experience
mime degree of gratification at being colic
plfinented, with an appearance of candour,
on the elegance and attractiveness of his
person. It is true this weakness is, in
many silenced or effectually concealed by
the predominance of good sense; but it is
*ever wholly destroyed. 'It is from its in-
Buence that men who, from indolence or
other causes, are a.ushy careless of their
dress, are nevertheless better pleased when
by accident their tailor sends them borne a
feat of such a style as shall be best adapted
to display the figure to advantage. But
the far greater number of men are not only
out careless, but are even painfully solici-
teas, about the tut of their Mollies. He,
therefore, who, in general society, is am-
bitious of being thought of strong nand,

But how the tailor must chuckle with an
'mallard grin, arising partly limn amuse -

be receives the minute ujuoctions of suuse

twat is to be fas]iosed. The poor awkward

out of the hands of Praxiteles. The tailor,
with the most unbroken gravity on his
face, assents to all the directions, at the
same urn. that the features of hu heart are
absolutely distorted by the laughter with
which its convulsed.
When, therefore, we consider the benefits
conferred upon the world by tailors—When
we call to mind the tributes to our vanity
which we have been enabled to exact by
their assistance—but, above all,- when we
remember that our tailor is the only confi-
dant into whose faithful and sympathising
bosom we dare to pour the story of our
weakness, and from whom alone we dare to
ask for aid,—are we not guilty of henioua
and abominable ingratitude, of the basest
and moat detestable kind, when we speak of
such benefactors as being individually of
minor humanity, and possessing only frac-
tional components of our kind 1 We, who
have gone on steadily, with literary chival-
ry-, io one consistent path, advocatingtbo
cause of injured worth, unveiling morand

the trammel. of mysticism or falsehood, do
confidently trust that this our learned ex-
planation of an ancient Maxim, and our
clear and eompreheoeive exposure of a
crimloal .011150. so deeply grounded, may
have the good effect of raising those illus-

Trtr0RTA*T I+vu:Ttor.—Mr. Alexander
Walker, Gardner at Mayen shire, has
invented a uaarhine oriwstr for mea-
suringheights and daiaucoa, survey-
ing, evelling, kc. We hare undoubted
authority fur stating that it solves the
previous problems in trigonometical and
triangular Grea.urenaen's, m such a short
space of time, and with so little calculation
to the operator, as entirely to supersede the
use of the theodolite, circuwferenter, plane
table, and various other tostuments hitherto
in use—the grand principle being, that it is a
"self -calculator," requiring namely the aid
of a pen or pencil from the operator. By
this machine a field may be measured, and
a plan of the seine laid down from the cen-
tre, or any convenient place, either within
the boundaries of the field, or from • dis-
tance within the limit. of the ground, pro-
vided a view of the margin of the same, or
even the angles or corners, be within sight
of the surveyor. Aoother purpose to which
it can be readily applied 'is laying off the
lines of roads or railways, canals. water-
courses, kc. It can also show the depth
or cut required on any eminence or hill
that may be in the route. In the Ordnance
department this instrument may be of the
greatest value to the British army, in find-
ing the distance to walls of any fort which
may be unapproachable, and the height of
the name may be taken instantly without
quitting the camp.—.iberdccn./unsaid.
AwruL ScEna !—A day or to ago, we
saw a woman raving with the deliriums tre-
mens ! She was young, handsome, •nd •
mother. An uncontrolable passion for in-
toxicating drinks soon made a hell of a once
happy home, drove a kind-hearted husband
and lather to despair and death, and brought
the wretched mother and her two young
boys to tbe degradation of public shame and
street beggary. Her ravings were terrible.
She fancied herself a bend in perdition, com-
pelted by a superior power of darkness to
thrust her children into fierce Baine., and
hold them there till their bodies were burn-
ed to a crisp ! Her description of what Mie
saw in her madness, and of what she fanci-
ed she was obliged to do; were awful and
udiacribable• Occasionally the wretched
being would 8y to the furthermost comer
of tbe room, uttering plercuog shrieks of
agony and pree.ug the palms of her bands
over her eyes in a vain attempt to *but the
horrid spectacle presented to her distorted
vision. Then, as if impelled by so irnsie-
uble power, she would rush forward, clutch -
ing wildly at what she thought was her Mil -
draws and loud outcries, plunge thou
again and again into the furnace u( fire,
mingling born' curses and imprecations
with the most labelling and fervent prayers.
This hallucination haunted the miserable
creature long after she was rendered pow -
'ries. by the restraints of the straight
jacket, aid ivair succeeded by others, even
more terrible in character, and too shock-
ing for detail, which continued until death
closed the scene--A16a my Erpren.
