Well, onward they march'd, and th, moraliz'd

Nothing kilts pain, but pleasure and ea„e ;
Nothing but virtue can deftro, vice;
Nothing can ever destroy death but life ;
Nothing but goodness can deftro, evil ; . G
Nothing but godhnefs ruin the devil.

CHABOT, who has lately been
guillotined at Park, was formerly a
Capuchin Friar. He was ^member
of the National Assembly when the
King fled to that body for fafety, on
the roch of August, 1792. While
the King and his family were confin
ed there, hearing the debates, this,
mao, in the midst of its harraogue,
said, " that all the bloodshed of that
iday, and all the miseries of the coun
try, were owing to the prejury and
treason of that traitor," pointing to
the King. To give way to such an
outrage against a man, not to lay a
King (fays Dr. Moore) required the
heart of a tiger, and the manners of
8 Capuchin.—lt is unnecessary to add,
that Chabot afterwards voted for the
King's death.
A YOUNG woman, of genteel

tea, which, being weighed and tied
up, she put into her pocket ; but, on
preparing to pay for it, she exclaimed,
" Dear me, i have left my purse at
home upon the table ; however, I'll
leave the tea ; and fend my servant.
with the money for it," So faying,
she drew from her pocket what ap
peared to be the fame parcel (he had
received just before. However the
servant not coming, the shopkeeper
was about to return the tea into the
cannister, when lo! to his no small
surprise, he fobnd his fopet fine tea had
been metamorphoied into foperfine

Miscellany.
(From Alexander's Hiflory of Women.) I
THE opinion, that women were , fort of
mechanial beings, only created for the
pleasures of the men, whatever votaries it|
may have had in the East, has had but few in I
Europe. A fete, however, have maintained
it here, and aligned various, arid sometimes
laughable reasons, for so doing.—Among
these, a story we have heard of a Scots clergy
man is not the least particular. This peace-I
able son of Levi, whole wife was, it feenis, aj
descendant of the famous Xantippe, in going
through a course of lectures on the Revela- 1
tion of St. John, firft took up the opinion
that the sex had no fouls, and were incapa
ble of future rewards and puniihments. It.
was no sooner known in the country that he
maintained such a doarine, than he was sum-I
moned before a Presbytery of his brethren, I
to be dealt with accordingto his delinquency.
When he appeared at the bar, they asked
him if he really held so heretical an opinion ?
He fold them plainly, that he did. On de- 1
fifirig to be informed of his reasons for so do
ing, "In the Revelation of St. John,he Di
vine (said he).you will find this parage ,— \
" And there watfilence in Heaven,for about the
space of half an hour :" And I appeal to all of
you, whether that could possibly have hap
pened, had there been any women there ?
And since thiry are none there, charity for
; bids us to imagine, that they are all in a worse
place : Therefore it follows, that they have
no immortal part ; and happy is it for them,
: as they are thereby exempted from being ac
countable for all the noise and diftyrbance
-they have raised in this world."
