^vglifl,
txtractfrom a Piece entitled the Source of Human
MiJeries, and the Jure means of relief.
MANKIND would never have run into the ex
tremes of vice, folly and impiety, as they have
done ; nor have been thus ensnared by the folici.
tations of lawless pleafare, pride,,vanity and am
bition, had they forefeen the consequences—The
innumerable evils, the exquifnemiferies in which
they mull unavoidably involve them. They have
contrasted habits of viewing things fuperficially,
and reviving happily, neglecting the author and
giver of wisdom, they have conducted with rash
ness in the pursuits of h^ppinels ; and, having
involved themselves in mifefy by their irrationali
ty and precipitancy, they have from their habits
of juding and determining rashly, plunged them
selves in a ftil! deeper laly brinth of error and woe.
Thus hath our world become a horrid scene of
blood and carnage, and every dire disease the ef
fects of intemperance.—lntemperance, what a
dreadful variety of evils are thence derived ! It is
the dedroyer o f reason and health, es families, of
societies, of nations, the greatest and most mis
chievous of Tyrants, and insidious perverter of
our tranquility and happinefi. Oh thou bane of
human felidty ! incalculable are the mifchiefs thou
haft for ages effected, the diftrefy and disgraces
thon halt brought upon the nobjeft the faireft and
mod amiable work of Creative Power. A few
have eflayed to item the torrent of woes with
which we are overwhelmed. To this benevolent
purpose do they (fill exert themselves, and call
loudly and affectionately upon mankind. Their
Voice is the voice of nature and of God. Shall
we be at length induced to attend to it, and re
solve to seek our real good ? Let us then apply
with sincerity to the all powerful and benig
uent author of our being. Let us yield ourfelve,
wholly unreservedly to bis difliofal ; —and all will
yet be well. If we yield ourselves to his guid
ance, lie will of a certainty inspire us with the
light and energy we so greatly need; he will di
rest ns to every means of recovery from the dis
order in which we are involved, and of attaining
every form of tranquility and happiness. It is
then, O ye children of the highest (for such ye are,
though so greatly loft to a sense of your own
native worth and dignity. Qnce fair gnd glorious
in his fight)—lt is then, that, being raised from
ruin, relieved from every species of misery, ye
mail become more lovely and glorious than before ;

CRAZY JANE.
Dost thou weep to fee my angnifh,
Mark me, and avoid my woe ;
When men flatter sigh and languid,
Think them falfe, I found them so !
For I lov'd, oh so sincerely,
None could ever love again,
But the Youth I lov'd so dearly,
Stole.the wits of Crazy Jane.
Fondly my young hedrt receiv'd him,
Which was doom'd to love but one ;
He figh'd, he vow'd, and 1 believ'd him,
He was falfe and I undone :
From that hour has Reason never,
Held her Empire o'er my brain,
Henry fled— with him for-ever ;
Fled the wits of Crazy Jane.
Now forlorn, and broken hearted,
And with phrenzied thoughts beset,
On that spot where haft we parted ;
On that spot where firft we met,
Still I ling my love-lorn^ditty,
Still I slowly pace the'plain,
While each passer by in pity,
Cries, God help thee Crazy Jane.
WHY fair Maid in ev'fy feature,
Are such signs of fear expreis'd ;
Can a wretched wand'ring creature,
With such terror till thy breast :
Do my phrenzied looks alarm thee,
Trim tne sweet, thy fears are vain,
Not for kingdom's would I harm thee,
Shun not then poor Crazy Jane.

An Irishman being asked the cause of his run

A wit lately hearing that a courtezan bad ob

ENTITLED,
If the ladies would fafpend a bag behind the
door, and inflead of sweeping their Rags into the
fire, as is frequently the cnßom,put them into the
bag, they will find it more to their advantage, than
the offenfive smell of burning Rags.—Dr. Franks
lin used to fay, that a penny {wed was two pence
earned ; indeed, he said many good thing's :— He
often tojd his female friends, that “ a dilligent &
frugal woman always had a large fhift"-—That
"if you would be wealthy, think of saving as
well as getting"—And that \
" Many estates are fyent in the getting,
Since women for tea forfook (pinning and knitting,
And men for their punch forfook hewing and fpiitting.*
So, witliout delay prepare you bags,
And take some care to save your RAGS.
