AN UNCOMMON FACT.
In the county of Greenville, South Carolina,
there is a couple by the name of Easily, still
living, who since their union in wedlock have
had thirty-two children! The most of them
however died young.
o— —
A correspondent strongly complains
of the fafhion now prevalent, of the la
dies wearing their hair extremly thick
upon the fore-head down to the eye
brows, by which the brow is wholly
concealed. There is indeed something
whimfcal in thus trying to hide one of
the fineftfeatfores of the countenance,
but there is no accounting for the ca
'prices of fafhion. The ladies often
conceal what they ought to uncover,
apd uncover what they ought to hide!
Dreadful effefts of Intoxication.
A Melancholy affair took place in
a honfe in Sixth-street near South
ftreet, Philadelphia, January 22d, about
4 o'clock—ln a fcuffle between a man
and his wife, an infant child.was thrown
down on the floor, and the father uri
foriurQtcly set bis foot on its breast,
which was the means of its immediate
death. The quarrel appears to have
been the fruits of intoxication.
The fame morning a man was found
dead in his room a few doors below
Southsb eet, in Third-street. This was
also the effeQ of liquor, as he had been
long ip the habit of inebriety. He was
found lying across two chairs, and die
remains of# bottle of rum landing un
der one of them.
&0n Female neatne, after Marriage.
It HY, Celia, is your spreading waist
So look, id negligently lac'd ?
Why must the wrapping bed-gown hide
Your inowy bosom's (welling pride ?
How ill that dress adorns your head,
Drain'd and rumpled from the bed!
Thofexbuds that (hade your blooming face,
A little water might displace;
As nature every morn beltows .
The chryftal dew to cleanse the rose.
Those tresses, as the raven black,
That wav'd in ringlets down your back,
Uncomb'd and injur'd by neglect,
Destroy the face which once they deck'd.
Whence this forgetfulnefs of dress?
Pray, Madam are you married ?- - -Yes- --
Nay, then indeed the wonder ceases,
No matter now how loose your dress is ;
The end is won, your fortune's made,
Your filler now may take the frade.
Alas! what pity 'tis to find
This fault in half the female kind !
From hence proceed averfiou, ftrife,
And all that fours the wedded life.
Beauty can only point the dart,
'Tis ne©cfc guides it to the heart ;
Let neatness then and beauty strive
To keep a wavering flame alive.
'Tis harder far (you'll find it true)
To keep the conqueft,than subdue ;
Admit us once behind the screen,
What is there farther to be seen ! ,
A newer face may raise the flame,
But every woman is the fame.
Then study chiefly to improve
The charm that fix'd your hatband's love;
Weigh well his humour. Was it dress
That gave your beauty power to blcfs ?
Pursue it'Rill, be neater seen ;
'Tis always frugal to be clean ;
So (hall you keep alive desire,•
And time's fwift wing (hall fan the fire.

It is truly a forrowful refleffion, that

the true way to extrafl all their good, is to
