MAN.
[From the Loiterer.]
OF all the men I ever knew, Char
les Sedley was the most cautious
in the grand affair ofchoofing a wife ;
land after mature deliberation, discov
ered that fafhionable women were vain,
and accomplished women affected. He
therefore married the daughter of one
of his tenants, with no charm, except
ing a little health and frelhnefi, and
no acquirements beyond those of a
country boarding school ; being per
suaded, that because she was ignorant,
she must be humble, and because low
born, unexpenfive. But of both these
inferences he lived to experience the
falfity; for his Cara SpoJa soon became
intoxicated by the possession of plea
sures of which she had until then en
tertained no idea, entered with eager
ness into every species of fafhionable
dissipation, and paid small regard to
a husband, for whom she felt little
gratitude and less affedion.,
It was in vain he argued, implored
and threatened ; too weak for reason,
too obstinate for entreaty, and too
pa ffionate for remonstrance, she heard
him with the vacant laugh of folly, or
answered him in the pert virulence of
vulgar inve&ive ; the only part of her
country education which she never for
got. I
After battling it in vain for feme
months with an enemy to whom he
was a very unequal antagonist, he
submitted to an evil which he could
not remedy, and is content to be ru
ined by the expenses, and tormented
by the follies of a vulgar termagant,
for the fake, as he fays, of peace and
quietness. 'Very different was the
opinion and the fate of his brother
Edward. —Determined not to be made
miserable by a low born vixen, he
early attached himfelf to Lady Caro
line Almeria Horatia Mackenzie,who
inherited together with the blood,
/ the fpmt, and the pride of a long
line of North British nobility. As.
ter a long and tedious courtship, in
which she took care to make him
completely sensible of the honour
A Song—inscribed to Laura.
FAREWEL my love, farewel my
dear,
Thou source of all my joy and care !
What have I left to tempt my stay,
Now my Laura's gone away ?
Sweet lovely girl, my joy, my bride,
More dear than all the world beside ;
Since Laura's bid us all adieu,
What will love-sick Strephob do ?
Hark ! methinks the queen of love,
Speaks in whispers from above,
Cease fond Strephon to complain.
Thy Laura ffiall return, again.
Then adieu, my dearest dear !
May you be Heav'n'speculiar care.
Till you return to case my pain,
Unto my longing drills again.

On going to Church
SOME go to Church just for a walk.
Some go there to laugh and talk ;
Some go there for (peculation,
Some go there for observation ;
Some go there to meet a lover,
Some the impulse oft' discover ;
Some go there to meet a friend,
Some go there the time to (pend ;
Some go to learn the Parson's name.
Some go there to wound his fame ;
Many go there to dose and nod,
But few go there to worship GOD.
done to him, her ladyship obligingly
condescended to give him her hand ;
and still more obligingly introduced
to his acquaintance and his hcufe,
something more than a dozen of her
great relations, who have ever since
taken up their abode with him.
After this, it is needless to fay,how
much he is mailer in his own family ;
since every fubje& of conjugal dis
cussion is immediately laid before this
impartial jury ; who instantly pro
nounce judgment on the case, and
exhort him to pay proper regard to a
woman of Lady Caroline's understand
ing, accomplishments, and rank. So
that he possesses no other advantage
over his brother than the privilege of
being made miserable in the very
belt company.,.
^ The two Sedleys," said my old
friend Frank Blunt, on entering my
room the other morning, “ were a
couple of fijly fellows, and are deser
vedly punished for their folly. He
who sets out in a wrong road, mult
not wonder if he does hot reach his
journey's end. Had I followed their
example, I should have been as m:f
erable as they are— but I have chos
en wifely, and am happy—very hap
py. I have married a woman of the
gtntleft manners and the sweetest dis
position. I wiffi, my dear friend,you
would come over and take your mut
ton with us to-day, and you Ihall be
convinced that when a man chooses
well, marriage is the happiest Rate
upon earth." Asl love to fee my
friends happy, 1 readily accepted his
invitation, and accompanied him to
his house, which is an easy ride from
Oxford. The Lady received us in
the most, gracious manner, and tefti,
fied the highest fatisfadion of feeing
any friend of her husband's—giving
him, at the fame time, a gentle re
buke, for having so much outlaid his
time, and exposed her to all those
uneasy fenfatibns which she always felt
in his abfenee. He excused himfelf
in the most tender manner, and they
both left the room, in order to prepare
either the dinner or themselves. I,
of course, took up a book ; but wether
the author was particularly Rupid,
or whether I was in a bad humour
for reading, I know not, but I soon
flung it down, and began to amuse
myfelf with my own refleaions. Thy
were, however, soon iriterrupted by a
dialogue not of the most tender kind,
between the master and the mittrefs
of the house, which the thinness of
the partition fuffered me to hear with
tolerable corre&nefs. " Indeed my
dear Mr. Blunt, I wonder you could
think of bringing your friend here
to-day, when you know there is no
thing in the house but abreast of mut
ton, and some minced chicken for the
children's dinner —befidesthe servants
are all ironing—but you men have no
fort of contrivance." " Indeed, my
dear," replied the husband, " I am
very sorry it should be inconvenient to
you to receive him ; but really Mr.
is such a particular friend.that
I could not avoid inviting him." —
“ Lord you are always bringing some
particular friend or other from Oxford
with you, and I suppose this particular
friend means to sleep here to night,
but 1 am sure I do not know where to
put him ; the-worst bed chamber has
just been walhed, and I ffiall certainly
not let him go into the chintz room
with his dirty boots. If he does stay,
he must sleep in the Green garret—l
dare fay he has been used at college
to sleep without curtains, and I be
lieve the glazier mended the windows
yesterday." Sorry am Ito fay that
I heard no more of this curious alter
cation, and the more so as I may pos
sibly never again have such another
Opportunity of making myfelf ac
quainted with the regulations of do
meftick economy; but the servant just
then unluckily entered to make pre
parations for dinner, and made such a
clattering with his knives and forks,
that I totally loft Mr. Blunt's answer,
and could only discover that $ (what
ever it was) it was spoken in a low
Ind submissive tone of voice.
