THE BARONET.
Thisis a Hat highly respectable in appearance, and well suited to gentlemen in thedeclineof life; but as that is a state to which few will acknowledge while there is a capability ofhobbling without a crutch, something definite had better be stated by giving the precise age;-take it then atfifty, which will put all doubts at rest. The reason for fixing on the Baronet, as suitable to those in declining years, is its grave, reflecting, methodical cast, such as would seem to say of thewearer-"Here is one that possesses a serenity of mind, an easy indifference of disposition, a tranquillity of thought, which would quietly disentangle itself from the vain, shadowy, fleeting desires of this life, and leave no regret behind." There are many other recommendatory properties in this Hat, but those already particularized are the most valuable; yes,valuable,-for it is a well-known fact, that mankind are often made up of contrivance, that is, they frequently give toappearancethe shape ofreality;-and however strange the doctrine may at first appear, it is nevertheless true, that the custom is often attended with verybeneficial results, inasmuch as byendeavouringto maintain anapparentconsistency betweenhabitandaction, theproprietyof doing right becomes so strongly impressed on the mind, that the villainy of a bad practice is seen in itsworst deformity, and conscience, the unerring monitor of the mind, rides triumphant over all. These are recommendations of no ordinary nature, and such that will no doubt cause much inquiry after theBaronet. As to growth or countenance, there is an old saying, that "beggars should not be choosers;" and the wearer, if he becomes so fromnecessity, will feel the propriety of leaving choice out of the question.
