And though we canno )v the emission of paper lulls, treat a substltue for money, we can by the practice of frugality measUtably do without it. lhese opinions are in duced bv a rccollec ion ot the extent and fertility of our lands, producing through the agency ot industry, ail the necessaries of life ; and the COtl icihn that the pcnlicmefcifve too much good sense to esteerTKus the less for laying aide the titisePQnery of foreign countries, more partictiUr ly at iv moment nke the present, w hVj ue perceive the distressing UlmCUKies thev encounter in continume to us j K, the supply of those gewgaws There fore 1 invite on this occasion, the mutual communication of such senti ments as Will best serve our true in terest the common weal. It was then smtvcstcd by a lady, .hut as they did not choose other ch ink than the refreshing limestone watei of which they were partaking, and as it might be deemed tmfeminine to (.rink toasts, she would recommend that the sentiments given on tnc occasion should he in the form of reso mtionSi This was assented to without opposition ; and the following retolutions were ofVcred by several ladies and adopted so'( That we hold most exalted estimation the -cil denial and patriotism of theisotl .e revolution, wim von?

Rrrolved, That the diminution of private revenue, and the scare it of Circulating medium, renders it necessary that private families should manufacture for themselves, and pui clnse nothing that can be made at lone. Some females may not be in a situation to spin 3iid weave, but all can do their own needle work, their baking and other culinaKv oinces, and manufacture those houeemoid necessarics that nil are Squaiolewith 9.

I 12. Resolved. That at all times, wnetner during national prosnentv, or whilst labouring under similar dif neulttes with those which at present exist, it is proper that certain prim iles of morality should be recapitula te! and impr s.-cd on our recollec tions ; amongst which in particular, are the duties ot mothers, who should ever devote themselves to the nurterng of their offspring : attending to their health ; inculcating in their minus virtuous inclinations ; teaching I hem an inflexible regard to truth: .i .... . :ivin;r tiicm habits of industrv.

With this v : vv it is the opinion of this meeting 'i at it i an highl) important duty, .vhich we owe to ourselves and to posterity, to pursue the most emcienl means of diffusing the lights of know 1dge, of science and of religion that tin se should not only be sought in schools, and colleges, but should be Studied at home in our closets, taught I to our children, and made the subjects Ot conversation in private circles, to ihe exclusion of the light frivolous pics sometimes indulged in ; and that we should exercise the little weight we have with the other sex, n discountenancing such of them as tlo not consider these things of the .ast importance. . After this, a variety of resolutions were offered, some rejected, others partially adopted ; amongst the latter were the following : Ret h .', That we do protest aamst the truth of the maxim, 14 That v reformed rake im'.kts the nest husI M We do not admit,lst f a t ake wci c capable of reformation, the purity of feeling necessary for an association with the haste ami virtuous, ever could be regained.
