Offers her services to the Public, to teach the
noble art of Scolding and Quarrelling, in
good or bad humor, in love or spite ; by the week,
day, hour, minute, or fecopd ; sober or drunk ;
early or late; before or after meal, without re
gard to any person, in Dutch or English : She has
difeovered a new way for women to pull the hair
and cap of their adversary. Scolding, &c. taught
in rhe genteelest manner, to country-women as
well as town ladies, judges and magiflrates scol
ded in the neatest style. She has a very peculiar
mode of scolding, adapted to every age and cir
cumltance of life. Married women taught to
scold their husbands blind, deaf, and dumb, in fix
weeks. As a proof of her abilities in this polite
acquirement, (he scolded eight hulbands to death
in three years time, and the ninth is far gone. She
teaches how to make grimaces or furious faces,

WHILE imaginary wants are innumerable, re
al wants are lew and easily supplied. A Intig
dwelling, v.holefome food and decent eloathing,
pure water, with sometimes a cheap beverage, are
nearly all the necelfaries of life : And, in this
plentiful country, any, who have health and com
mon faculties, may, by diligence and prudent,
care, supply themselves with all the necessary ar
ticles of living : But the unhappiness is, people in
fniall circumHances, not contented with neceflar
ies, hanker after /superfluities, and will continue
to purchase and use them, till at last they are un
able to supply themselves with mere necefl'aries.
Many a one who might have lived decently, has
been undone by trying to live genteelly —The fol
lowing fared lesson fhoulg always be remember

circumstances will afford no more than necessaries,
should rest fatisfied therewith, and not banker after
Superfluities, and much less run in debt to pur
chafe them ; while it persons, who can afford it,

FROM THE BALANCE,
CAN crowded rooms affect the heart,
Or ease the troubled m nd ?
Can cards or dice more joy impart
Than sentiment refin'd ?
Can birth night balls assuage the pa:n,
Which melancholy brings ?
Can midnight revels heal again
Regret's corroding flings ?
Can nameless pleasures ever give
One tingle happy thought ?
Or, do we beings only live
To squander time on nought ?
Ah ! no ; not these has heaven defign'd
To interest the sud;,
But pleasures of the mental kind
All others should coatroul.
If bled with these, and with a friend,
What can we with for more ?

Unnumber'd thanks I'll pour.

RELIGION may be truly called the greatest en
joyment of man. It is a never failing source of
delight to thole who happily embrace its ways as
its tendency is ultimately and securely to possess
felicity.
In the hours of diflolution, when all the plaud
its of the world shall be found ineffectual to quiet
the pangs of remorse, religion would admimfler
the mpft fetching ideas to their perturbed hearts.
To look back on t heir past extlence, is a vacuum
so replete with difiuay, and a time W infamouDy
perverted, that they are petrified with horror at
the awful retrospect. Anticipation of the future
Rill heightens their melancholy ; and what would
they now give, could but one hour be recalled, to
make peace with that Being \\ hum they have wan
tonly deipifed !
Could thought soar beyond the boundaries of
mortality, and ponrtray to imagination the realm
ofinfinity, it could not fufEcieiuly exprtfs the
matchiefs beauties of religion.
