BISHOP THOMAS, who was a man of hu
mor and drollery, being once on a visit, was
giving an account of his being married three
or four times, "Should I lofemy present wife,"
said he, " I would instantly take another ; and
it is my opinion I would survive her also.—Per
haps," added he, " you do not know the art of
getting rid of your wives. I'll tell you how I
do. lam calleda good husband § and so laro,
for I never contradict them. But don't you
know, thb want of contradiction is fatal to wo
men. If you contradict them, that cirtumfiance
is exercise and health to women : but give them
their own way, and they will languish and pine,
become cross and lethargic for want of this er
ercife, and soon fink in death."

King John being (hewn a (lately monument,
eYeaed over the grave of a nobleman who had
rebelled agaiuft him,and being advised to deface
it, answered, "No ; I wish all my enemies were
,5 honorably buried."
When the fatherlefs call upon thee, when the
widow's heart is funk, and tie imploreth thy
assistance with tears of sorrow; O ! Pity her
affliaic#, and extend thine hand to thofc that
have none to help them.
When thou feeft the naked wanderer of the
ftrect, shivering with cold and destitute of hab
itation ; let bounty open thine heart, let the
Usings of charity shelter him from death, that
thine own foul may live.
Whilst the poor man groaned, on the bed of
sickness, whilß the unfortunate langnifh in the
horrors of the dungeon, or the hoary head of
age lifts up a feeble eye to thee for pity; O !
how canst thou riot in fuperfluous enjoyment^
regardless of their wants, unfeeling of their
woes ?
A flourifhing coxcomb the other day came
into a shoe-maker's (hop, to try on a pair of
boots "These are too fliort for the ton," said
he, “ they should be long enough to cover up
the calf completely." Then," said the {hoc
maker, "they must be about five feet ten inches."
A man without modesty, is loft to all sense of
honor and virtue.
There scarce can be named a quality that is
amiable in a woman, which is not becoming in a
man, not excepting even modesty and gentleness
of nature.
The fitft of all virtues is Innocence, the next
is modesty. If ^ banish modesty out of the
world, (he carrieftway with her, half the vir
tues that are in it.
The butcher relenteth not at the bleeding of
the lamb; neither is the heart of the cruel mofo
cd with distress.
But the tears of the compassionate are Tweeter
than dew-drops falling from roses on the bosom
es the earth.
Shut not thine ear therefore against the cries
of the poor ; neither harden thine heart against
the calamities of the innocent.
