— Gentlemen elbowing each other in the
pit passage at Drury Lane London, one of them
cried," Death, Sir, who are you that dare to be
have so ? some journeyman frifeur 1 should fup
,K>fe from your breeding"—" Very likely," re
turned the other, with great coolness, " and if
you will favor me with your name and direc
tion, you shall have fuel a dussing from me
to-morrow morning, as becomes such a puppy !"
From this altercation, trifling as it was, and
ludicrous as well as trifling, challenge ensued,
and from the challenge a rencontre, which in a
few minutes, inperfe& consonance with the fafh
ionable ideas of honor,fent one ofthofe heroesfoo
seek an abode in another world, and forced the
other to court a fanduary in another country.
The Quakers, who are a precise fort of peo
ple and hate sluts, have combined together, one
and all, to kick this dirty[drab out of doors, and
have unauimoufly passed a rsfolution, that they
will, in no case harbour her in their houses. —
And it were well, if thole of all other chriftian
denominations would do the fame ; fore she is a
creature utterly unfit for the society of any chrif
tian people.
All magistrates are admonished to use their
united efforts to expel this pestilent hag from
the country, apd especially to be cartful not to
harbour her under their own roofs, which would
tend both to firengthen her interest and to in
crease her impudence. Parents are also admon
ished to warn and guard their children against
her infernal enchantments.
The name of the enchantress that has corrupt
ed the American dialed and polluted the land
with her sorceries, is PROFANE SWEAR
ING.
From the Balance.
Beware of a vile Hag and Sorceress 1
I —o—
N close intimacy with three ruffians, against
whose villainous arts the public was warned in
the Monitorial Department of the two last num
bers of the balance, and at the fag end of the
groupe; there is abase hag that uses sorcery
and the black art, and, as report fays, is actually
in league with the devil. There are several
symptoms, which denote her to be a witch, par
ticularly these : She manifefts greater enmity to
the Bible than to any, other book, and even
tramples upon it with the utmost scorn and con
tempt. She is daily mumbling over an unin
telligible jargon ; and she frequently looks up
toward the ikies, with a difdainful, menacing
air and afpedl,(baking her fift withal, and exhi
biting, in everf refped, the airs, attitudes and
express manner of biddingdefiance to the powers
above. The creature is of a most low and vul
gar call, both in her breeding and manners. She
associates principally with negroes and with o
thers, who are the refufe and scum of the earth :
2nd yet the drab has the impudence to introduce
Verfclf sometimes into the company of gentle
men, who never foil to fuffer a degradation of
*aradler, in proportion to thl countenance
aey may have given her. The enchantress fuc
tfsfully uses her incantations upon brainless boys
and young men, who arc frequently so besotted
jy her diabolical charms, that they are fecming
ly proud of being seen in her company. Those
of the female sex, who have any degree of deli
cacy, generally difpife and shun the hag. Not
so thc hapless Tympaniffa. She had an agree
able face and figure—her voice was foft and
winning ; —but foolifhly hoping to improve her
charms by it, the employed this sorceress as her
dressing-woman; and direful were the conse
quences : Tympaniffa's mouth, which was pret
ty, immediately became naufeoufly foul ; her
tongue ulcerated, her eyes turned of a fiery hue,
her voice became coarfc and negtoifo, and her
whole face was covered with loathsome blotches ;
insomuch that her former admirers, (hocked at
the frightful change in her appearar.c:, iuftantly
forfook her.
We always l,ve those who admire us ; but
do not always love those whom we admire,
CHARLES the Fifth had taken great pains
to make his fubjede hold the fame oppinions in
religious matters as he profeffed to do. To ef
fe& this he fought many battles, ruined many
countries, and destroyed many persons. He
„s not convinced of the futility of his attempt,
till a fhert time before he died. He retired to
the convent of St. Just, in Eftremadura, where
he amused himfelf with fludying the mechanism
of clocks and watches. " Alas !"faid he" 1 can
never get two watches to go exadly together ;
and how could I pretend to set the minds of
mankind cxa&ly to my own !"
A young man of nineteen at Bourdeaux, was
lately convicted and executed for having mur
dered his aunt. Those who saw him between
the time of his fcntence and execution, gave the
following particulars refeaing him :—Having
some knowledge of drawing, this young man
amused himfelf with tracing on some pieces of
paper the circumstances of the assassination ; on
one was delineated the pollute in which he flood
when he firfl struck his aunt ; on another he
drew himfelf knocking her brains out; in a
third he represented himfelf on a fledge going
to the fcaffold. • o

A few days ago a sailor broke a pane of glass

said, "nonu rue are even." [Lon. pap.]

SONNET TO INTEGRITY.
O NYMPH of dauntlefe brow, and look
serene,
Os honest thought, and adions void of blame,
Who never knew the burning blulh of shame
So oft upon the cheeks of falfhood seen
In red confafidh suddenly to glow:
Teach me along this thorny vale of ftrife,
With guarded step and steady aim to go;
That, when 1 reach the deftin'd goal of life,
I may look back without a bofom-thora ;
And, as the dim perfpeaivc of the past
On dying Memory's optics gently fades,
When bright futurity, in profped vast,
Opes to our view.-6 guide me to those (hades,
Where sorrow ne'er the feat of bliss invades.

TELEGRAPHE.
^NOTICE.
Having a very great opinion of your Bilious
Pills, and experienced their good effeds in my
family for four years past ; and obfervißg with
much anxiety the annual return of the Bilious
Yellow Fevers, in many of our large towns, and
believing that your pills are the best remedy for
preventing and curing those deftru&ive diseases
of aoy—l hereby hand you a short statement of
my own case, which 1 request you to make pub
lic for the benefiffof mankind : On the firft
October, 1798, I was attacked in my office with
the Yellow Fever, then raging very violently in
thiscity— having loft my journeyman with the
fever, and my family being about two miles out
of town, and finding my situation very critical,
I immediately left town to join my family; and
took with me a box of your "New-London Bilious
Fills ;" and not being regularly attended by
any physician, I was under the necessity of be
coming my own doctor. My fever paging
very rapidly, I began With the use of your Pills,
and foot ifound relief : —Being thereby encour
aged I continued in the use of them until I re
covered, and have not the least doubt but they
were the means of saving my life. My wife
also was attacked on leaving town, but Toon re
covered after the use of them. I have ever kept
them in my family finee, and always (ball, as
being the best domestic physic for most of the
complaints that occur.
I am your obedient servant,
JAMES SPRINGER,
late Editor of the Weekly Oracle.
The above PILLS are kept, price 50
cents per box, for sale by

TION IS CURING THE DISEASE.
AT this Icafon of the year,
when, in crowded Cities, and ir.
regular and various modes of living, con-
Ritute an almost universal predisposition
to " Bilious, Inflamator, and YELLOW,
Malignant Fevers , It would greatly
mitigate the prevalence of Epidemical or
Sporadic cases of fever, if the citizens
would generally attend to their healths
by the frequent use of mild Bilious pur
gatives, and avoid all those circumffances
which excite predisposition into dileafe,
such as intemperance, excessive fatigue,
exposure to alternate heats and colds &c.
Accordingly the best medicine ever yet
difeovered, to answer the above indica
tions, and ro remove the firft stages of
fevers, as has been for 4 years experienc
ed in all the various cities and towns in
the United States where Yellow Fever
has prevailed, is
