A QUAKER travelling through

demanded his money, and notwith

, Quaker) if thou wilt have it, thou
Ihilt have the , trouble of gathering
it , and strewed the money ai far as
he could throw it, and while the high
wayman was picking it up, being a
stout strong man, knocked him down,
and seized him by the collar, dragged
him to a brook not far diftant ——
, Now, friend, fays he, I will not kill

SONNE T.
A REW SONG.
A Monarch, celebrated for his wis
dom, observed that it was not
good for the foul to be without knowl<
edge. This is more especially true
with regard to religious knowledge.
The person who applies hit heart
to sacred inftruAion, hath secured a
rational and agreeable employment,
that will prevent bis hairing recourse
to folly or vice. , He will experience a
sublime delight in formounting diffi
culties, and making a continual prog
ress in the stock of his ideas: And
when he hath afyally arrived to a
system of Solid principles, a felf pof
session and dignity will thence accrue
to his mind, which greatly contribute
to inward fatitfaction. How different
is the condition of him who is the
slave of ignorance and folly ! Hit time
[ will frequently han^, heavy ty his
hands—he will be a burden to him?
I felf—and, should fickneliior adversity
DURING the troubles in the reign
of Charles I. a country girl came to
London in search of a place, as a ser
vant maid ; but not fuccceding, the
applied herfelf to carrying out beer
from a brew house, and was one of
those then called tub women. The
brewer observing a well looking girl
in this low occupation, took her into
his family as a servant, and after a
while married her ; but he died while
the was yet a young woman, and left
her a large fortune. The business of
the brewery was dropped, and the
young woman was recommended to
Mr. Hide, as a gentleman of skill in
law, to fettle her husband's affairs.—
Hide, (who was afterwards the great
earl of Clarendon) finding the widow's
fortune very considerable, married her
—Of this marriage there was no oth
er issue than a daughter, who was af
terwards the wife of James 11. and
mother of Mary and Anne, queens of
England.
A WIT IT knave Wiggled with
a feller of lace, in the city of^Loodon,
for so much fine lace as would reach
from one of hit ears to the other.—
When they had agreed, he told her
that he'&feved foe had not quite
enough to perform the covenant, for
one of his ears was nailed to the el
lory of Bristol. ^\
IN the debate on the leather tax, the
other day in the Irish House of Com
mons, the Chancellor of the Exche
quer, (Sir John Barnell) observed,
with emphasis—" That io the prose
cution of the present War, every man
.ought to give his M guinea to prote#
the remainder I"|
Mr. Vandelure said, that however
that might be, the tax on leather
would be fever el, felt by the barefoot
ed peafaxtr, of Ireland.
To this Sir Boyle Roach replied,
that this could be easily remedied—
by making the underleatbers of wood.
ONE speaking of a very bad man
just dead, concluded with " Well, let
us fay no more about him ; he is now
dead, and at rest," —"No, faith,"
cried a by-stander ; " not at rest, un
less the devil is dead too."
THE following story is related of
a gentleman who had no nose : Ashe
was walking along the street one day,
a beggar woman followed him, fay
ing, God preserve your eyesight, fit !
Why so, good woman ? said he—be
cause, fir, said (he, if you should grow
dim sighted, your honor would have
no place to hang your fpeAacles on.
the MONITOR.
CURIOUS FACT.
HIBERNIANISM.
tske away the power of running from
amufemeot to amusement, he will
have nothing that can relieve an anx
ious heart, or fopport the weakness of
his fpifits..
Religious knowledge hath a bene
ficiaj influence on ouroutward circum
ftadces as well as our internal peace.
While: it is infinitely more valuable
than riches or power, it hath a tend
ency to increase our temporal prospe
rity. For it inftruds us to acquire
those di(petitions 'and virtues, which,
io the general course of things, will
be followed by competence, health,
credit, esteem, and many other bles
sings. He that geltflh wisdom lovetb
bis own foul ; be that keepetb under
flaoding /ball find good. Therefore
with all tb, gettings get undemanding.
THE good wife is one, who, ever
mindful of the solemn contrast
which the hath entered into, is ftridly
and con feientioufly virtuous ; constant
and faithful to her hufbind—Chafte,
pure and unblemished in every tho't
word and deed :—She js humble and
modest from reason and convidion,
submissive from choice, and obedient
from inclination : What (he acquires
by love and tenderness, she preserves
by prudence and diferetion : She
makes it her business to serve, and her;
pleasure co oblige liter husband ; con-i
fcious that every thing which pro
motes his happineb, muff in the end
contribute to her own : Her tender
ness relieves his cares—her affection
foftens his distress—her good humor
and complacency leffeo and subdue
his affliftions. " She openeth her
mouth," as Solomon fays, * with wif~
dom, and in her tongue is the law of
kindness. She looketh well to the
way of her husband, and eateth not
the bread of idleoefs : Her children
rife up and call her blessed : H€r hus
band also, and he praifeth her." —
As a good and pious Christian, (he
looks up with an eye of gratitude to
the great Dispenser and Disposer of
all things, to the husband of the wid
ow and father of the fatherleft, in
treating his divine favor and assistance
in this and every other moral and re
ligious duty ; well fatitfrd, that if the
duly and punctually difeharges her
several offices in this life, the ffiall be
blessed and rewarded for it in another,
" Favor is deceitful, fed beauty is
vain: But a woman that feareth the
Lord, she Ihall be praised."
THE good husband is one, who
wedded not. by iotereft, but by
choice, is constant as well from incli
nation as from principle. He treats
his wife with delicacy as a woman,
with tenderness as a friend : He at
tributes her follies to her weaknefi,
her imprudence to her inadvertency :
He passes them over therefore with
good nature, and pardons them with
indulgence : All his care and ioduftry
are employed for her welfare • ,all his
strength and power are exerted for
her support and proteftion ; he is
more anxious to preserve his own
character and reputation, because hers
is blended with it : Lastly, the good
husband is pious and religious, that he
may animate her faith by his practice,
and enforce the precepts of Christian
ity by his own example : That as
they join to promote each others hap
piness in this world, they may unite
to insure eternal joy and felicity in
that which is to come.
