REFLECTOR,--My husband and I are fond of company, and being in easy circumstances, we are seldom without a party to dinner two or three days in a week.

The utmost cordiality has hitherto prevailed at our meetings; but there is a young gentleman, a near relation of my husband's, that has lately come among us, whose preposterous behavior bids fair, if not timely checked, to disturb our tranquillity.

He is too great a favorite with my husband in other respects, for me to remonstrate with him in any other than this distant way.

A letter printed in your publication may catch his eye; for he is a great reader, and makes a point of seeing all the new things that come out.
Indeed, he is by no means deficient in understanding.

My husband says that he has a good deal of wit; but for my part I cannot say I am any judge of that, having seldom observed him open his mouth except for purposes very foreign to conversation.
