I doubt not you this scheme abhor,
And to oppose the plan
Will join with me ' a Bachelor,
And not a married man.

(Already 'tisa dangerous sex,
Mischievous, artful, fly,
The more they learn the more they'll
vex)
And aim with us to vie !
Confider; ' Mr. Printer,' which
I (hall this time just hint at,
What any man not very rich
Would be a fool to squint at.
Ye male inhabitants beware
Os granting too much learning,
Os freeing fchooli to teach the fair
And make them more discerning.
'His wife' the stars to 'calculate'
Nor care a tingle button,
Altho' the knows, that her poor mate
Scarce call the amount of mutton.'
• The marriage fate is m, sole plea.
Such evils will attend.
That ever, man willjoin with me
'Who' would 'bimfelf' befriend.
'This is too serious for a joke'
Now 'really Mr. Printer,
We'vefchools enough,&twill provoke
To pay for more this winter.
From 'envy' I am wholly free,
And 'malice' I detest.
No, 'all such paltry motives' be
Far from my gentle breast.
For '.be informs me that bis wife G
All furnmer keeps her room,
And much 'difeumfaures' his life
To tell when comets come.
And all this mifehief must arise
From figures being taught her,
'Arithmetic^ no man that's wife
Would ever teach a daughter.
THE 'pain' I felt was 'infinite,'
When 1 beheld the plan.
For teaching 'females' how to write
Grammatical as man.
'But if theres' an, who can doubt'
The truth of what I fay,
I'll 'neighbour Thingamy point out
And prove it, clear as day.
'Concerns domeflick' she'll negleft,
And quite regardless is
Who may her family infpe&
And how it goes amiss.
'Experience has taught us, plain
The more a woman knows,
That the becometh yet more vain
And still more ufelefs' grows.
•For man to place within their hands'
The 'power' of which they dream.
And grant their withes full demands,
'ls foil, in th' extreme.'
'Their natural thirf' to domineer
'Has long been too well known,
Nor does it 'need a comment here'
How much such 'tbirft' is shown.
'No ever, wife and prudent man'
, I'm sure 'will reprobate'
And utterly oppose a plan
For bettering women's slate.
I'm willing they enough should know
' To keep' their 'humble J,here,
But 'Nature' ne'er defigne'd to Ihow
That they should wife appear.
I can't be silent while they vex
And carry things so far
As in effia, with t'other sex
'Would place them on a par,
From Massachusetts Centinbl.

SHEEP'S WOOL.
" A reputation founded
on conduct which we our
selves know to be wrong,
yields little fatisfadion but
one that is well founded, is
always accompanied with
felf-approbation ; If it
should be denied for a time,
the confeioufnefs of merit
ing it, & the hope of justice,
will more than ballance its
temporary suspension.
" At death, a man's cha
rafter is fixed: Some have
been accounted felfifh and
contrasted as long as they
lived, and it appeared at last
that their object was not to
hoard,but render to all their
due. " This should teach us
to beware of imputin g ava
rice to those who in all pro
bability are only labouring
to be just.
"A person who trans
gresses the bounds of eco
nomy to obtain a character,
loses it at death.--A&s of be
nevolence with other men's
money, will leave a stigma
upon the memory, which a
sense of injury will perpe
tuate from generation to^ge
neration."
'OWENO MAN ANY THING.'
''/-) NE must sometimes
bear the reproach
of felfifhnefs, in order to pay
a debt, or to keep out of it :
The contempt which attends
avarice, and the tendency of
the present age to charity,
and expensive living, render
this difficult—Henceyoung
persons are apt to go to
greater expence than they
know they ought, & commit
one error in order to avoid
the imputation ofanother.
"Distinguish between ap
parent and real approbation
—between that which is
ill, and that which is well
founded—between a tem
porary & a permanent one.
"The shew of wealth and
liberality procures apparent
approbation: Outward re
fpeCt and flattery, are the
reward of ostentatious en
tertainments, but indicate
no solid refpea: The wife
disapprove of excels in ap
pearance,and fit uneasy at a
feaft which they know has
cost- more than the giver
can afford.
