IN Sweden, prisoners for debt, are constantly
liberated throughout the dominions of that
crown once a year, i. e. on Christmas day, the
crown taking upon itfelf to pay the creditor'
his demand,which is, however, fcHom discharg
ed at firft but by a compromise. The debtor
being liberated, the crown takes possession of„
all his valuables, which are fold at fair market,
and generally at good prices; and if the amount
is nearly equal to difeharging the whole of the
debts, a compliment is made to the debtor, to
set him up ^ain in business; and if, on the
other hand, there are little or no effects, his fu
ture goods, chattels, &e. are made liable. This
practice which commenced with the last reign,
among other amendments in the conffitution &
police of that kingdom, hate had such benefi
cial effects, that in the year 1768, there were
two thousand debtors so liberated. ; there wqe
in 1781; only 460 freed in this manner ; the
fhamc of an annual tribunal, which difeevers
their names, characters, &c. having had one
good effed in rendering them induffriotts and
honest.

ON FEMALE ENVY.
o
rIS cursed cn ^ source of ev'ry ill,
Subverts our reason, and direds our will.
A fin more deadly dwells not in the mind,
She's leagu'd with Satan and with Hr/Zconibiu'd,
Parent of malice, Nurse of endfefs hate,
Slander and lies attendant on her wait.
yVke fern tbis fiend would not in base depart,
Whose ranting poifn preys upon the heart ;
Whose pro', corodin^ ^nazus -within the breaf.
Like tin fell Cancer, never is at rest ;
Tet fringes tell,the truth lit not forbear,
It general reigns mos potent in the fair.
Co surfed envy, thy envenom'd dart,
The tongue of fancier is to virtue's heart,
Thy breath's more poifnous than the Upas tree,
The puref virtue finds a foe in thee.
Superior merit, and the noblest mind,
The lovelies form, with every grace combin'd.
Each rouses envy in the female breast,
When of those charms tbemfel&es are not poffeft.
If to the view appears exterior grace,
And all the beauties of a blooming face ;
" 'Tis art," net nature, envy quickly crier,
On Jlander's icings the caryl invention flies.
Or if a form all lovely frill appear,
" ' Tis drf," cries envy with malicious fcedr.
And if each Virtue, and each grace are fen )
To beam their rays on the engaging mien, >
" "Tis affiliation;' envy cries vvitb spleen. )
Tho' haggard envy f,reads each artful tale,
O'er lies and blander, virtue frail prevail,
As murky clouds obfeure the azure fey, ,
But in conffonfrom the winds willfly ;
So before truth curs fanner can't lemain,
Nor envy's .pou'rs a num reus fable train 1
Then the cbafte Godffs virtue will be feet.
With looks majfic,placid arid serene.
, How much more lovely does each Nymph appear,
When frains of candour-vibrate on the car ;
Wherefrom their tips by foft perfuafon hung,
That nobles virtue dwell, upon the tongue :
'Tis then their beauties in full lu/lr,fine,
Abid ev'ry lock, and action deems divine.
Then go ye Fair, let candour be your guide,
Shun Envy, Hatred, Malice, Slander, Pride,
Give Virtue, Honor, Beauty, all it's due,
And all their charms noil! then belong to you.
The MEDLEY.—No. 142.
" And Samfim said unto bis father, get her for me ;
forfa pleafetb me."
WHILE our champion was free from the
nuptial tie, he journied to Timnath,where
he was enamored by the beautiful appearance
of a Philistine girl. All the remonstrances of
his difeerning parents could not persuade him to
abandon his intentions because, said he, "foe
plcafctb me.',
O precipitate man ! How did she please you,
when folded in the arms of your friend ? How,
When the declared the interpretation of your
fiddle to the Philillines ? Did /he thereby excite
your esteem, and render the after period of your
life more pleasant and agreeable ? If so, let pos
terity follow the example; listen to the fyren
song of wanton inspiration, and balk in the fun-
Shine of voluptuous ease and indolence. If not,
let them pursue a different course. The allur
ing smiles of the harlot, will, assuredly be like
vinegar to the teeth, ^r gall to the palate.—
Though the fays, " I nave perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon," believe her
not, neither listen at all to her voice, 6 for her
boule is the way to hell, going down to the
chambers of death.'
