MANY imagine that a reser
ved countenance, a dull walk &
feelinion from company, are fare
marks of an upright man. But
virtue conlifts not in auderity,
nor grave looks.; these arc often
used as cloaks to the,greateft vil
lanies. A frank, open counte
nance, asocial and refined fa
miliarity with our fellow fyz
cies, are the furett marks of a
benevolent difoofition. Sociabil
is anoble, endearing virtue, uni
ting the hearts of mankind in the
fyeeteft bonds of friendship, and
dispelling the cares and anxie
ties of the mind, so fatal to the
true principles of religion and
ufeful improvement. To culti
vate this Social difoofition was
the principal design of Deity in
creating the two sexes. In mat
rimony,the most lading and per
manent unions are formed, by
uniting hands and hearts ; they
fbothe each others distresses, &
alleviate each other's cares.—
This is the fourcc for the most
complete happiness enjoyed on
earth, and the perfans who re
gard matrimony as serving no
other purpose but to propagate
the human species, know lit-

A YOUNG woman of genteel appear

to wander fromthe page, &to dwell a mo

we drain a point. Mr. Paine seems to be
a mighty nice writer ; be lays all smooth

If you alk me what a jacobin is.—
I profefs I cannot tell you, only I have a

changes urtt hit coat, and then puts cn his

whether you have injured or offended him

my materials will go, and let the rest be
