The ADDRESS of a WIDOW. .
I am independent in my fortune, and
my: heart is free, and what may appear
rather extraordinary, I have been twice
married—unfortunate in the choice of
each husband, miserable with both, and
yet feel an inclination to try a third.
My firft was a love mated), at an age
when diferetion made no part of the at
tachment. I was ambitious to be a wife ;
and being brought to Bath by my mother,
and invited to a private route, where a
certain young man of faffiion was to be,
" I came, I favu, I conjured."
Dissipation and gambling fcon reduced
a very ample fortune to a trifle, and
changed our equipage from a splendid
suit of carriages to a hackney coach and
an umbrella.
The fall was so sudden, and thedeicent
so great, that they broke my husband's
heart in the third year of our marriage,
and left me a beautiful widow at the age
of nineteen, without a (hilling but what
my parents pleased to give for my fap
port-, ,
I cannot fay that I much regretted my
husband's- death—he kept no Jess than
three vtle creator s, fix weeks after we
were married,and ordered feperate beds
because it twas fafaonable. _
Being giddy and imprudent in my firft
choice, I was determined to be circum
fpeft and cautious in my second. Our
family lived in an elegant style, and we
were never without company at home, or
in com p.any abroad and my father having
withheld his bounty on my firft marriage,
because my march was made by my mo
ther and me without his consent, now
meant to fulfil his firft intention of gv ng
roe seven thousand pounds, provided my
next husband was agreeable :—This bro't
me suitors enough.
I was all obedience to my father, and
he ieleded for me in a murt time a man of
Andrto the end that the public service
may not be impeded for want of neces
sary means; , '.
Be it further enaßed, That it shall be
lawful for the President to take on loan
the whole sum by this ad appropriated,or
so much thereof as he may judge requi
site, at ah interest not exceeding fix per
centum per annum; and the fund ella
blifhed for the above-mentioned appro
priation; is hereby pledged for the repay
ment of the principal and interest of any
loan to be obtained in manner aforefaid;
and in case of any deficiency in the said
fund, the faith of the United States is
hereby also pledged to make good such
deficiency.

gant ; and with him I lived in a slate of
penury, until the gout in his flomach, for
want of proper cordials to drive it to his
feet, flew to his head, and again made
me a widow after five years confinement
to the villa of my old cit.
I am just now turned of twenty four
years of age, lively in my temper, of a
good natured difpofition,handfome in my
person, and possessed of twenty thousand
pounds in three per cents, an annuity of
four hundred pounds, and in freehold es
tates in the county of Middlesex near
eleven hundred pounds a year—but I
shall be very, very hard to please in my
third husband.-
I am determined no' to mary a man of
fafion, nor a puppy, be he ever so rich—
nor a widower (left he should be compar
ing notes) —nor an officer in the army, for
they are fortune hunters —nor an Info
volunteer —nor an Irjb adventurer in any
Ihape—nor a Scotchman —nor a Welchman
— nor a gambler —nor an Atheif or a Me
tbodf, because I have had enough of ex
tremes—nor a beau parson —nor a drunkard
or an abflemious man—nor a Frenchman,
because I am certain all men are not
equal.
