MMJWMem "Every thing is now reversed from former times, " says the Paris Journal des Modes, is the male attire : they fwrmerly wore large coats and tight breeches ; now they w?ar w ide pantaloons antl tight coats. Formerly they wore boots up to the knees and shod with iron : now they we e only half boots, the soles of which are soft as gloves. Formerly they wort- black waistcoats and white frills : now they were while waistcoat arid black ciavati, which are made to fall low down and form a frill." From the Louisville Public Advertiser. TO PRINTERS. It is believed that the present is a proper time to correct the abuse under which every Printer in tiic western country basso long lab red, on account of the despicable qualtity id" the paper manufactured in this quarter. We have not only consented, heretofore, to work paper, which would scarcely he used for wrapping common goods in the Atlantic cities, but we have frequently sustained considerable losses by the bad tale ol th Manufacturer, In additioa to these

grievances, we arc often badlf swindled by the introduction cf some four or five quires of broken paper in the heart of a bundle. ' Under present regulations it is evident that we cannot do justice to our selves or our customers by a farther forbearance with the carelessness, the insolencu and treachery of paper-makers ; and f: us it appears certain, that there is no course which can be pursued to put a

final stop to such dishonest and vrxatious conduct, unless printers and urater i:x paper seneraliy, shall determine, to eipose through the medium of the pisldi : m evcr" !3P or other perferir.2 for sale, paper of any description which would not be esteemed nu'uha'i table in (he Atlantic cities.

It is not beca-isc a woman has forsaken the paths of virtue, that she is to be abandoned and forsaken. The first iceman that was viadrt who came pure aiul spotless from her Maker's hand, teas the victim of sedtict'wn ; buc he was still provided for. And the law looks with that indulgence on 'in frailties of human nature, as not to consider every error, an unpardonable crime.
