ANECDOTE of ZINK.
WHEN Zink was in the i
greatcft praftice. he was
in a very bad state of health ; and
being well refpeded by a nurnber
of the most celebrated physicians,
had their assistance and advice.
All of them pronounced that he
was in a decline; but about the
method of cure, they were not
nanimous. Some prescribed one
drug, and some another; and one
of them recommended breaftmilk.
The drugs be (wallowed ; but the
brcaftmiik he did not much rclifh
the thought of-—• Finding him fell
grow rather worse then better; and .
being told that air and exercite was
the heft remedy for his complaint,
he talked himlclf to walk through
the Park; and up Cpnftituuon
Hill, every morning before break -
iaft This did not relieve him ;
but from habit rather then hope,:
he still continued his perambula
tions- One summer morning, a
handsome young woman, very
meanly clad with a child about
fix weeks old in her arms, asked
his charity* He gave her fame
pence and afked 1 her how (he
came into her preterit diftrefled
fttuatioo- Her hiftory was Ihort:
She had been* a servant; (he be- f
scame partial to a footman in the
fame house, and married him;
they were both turned away ! the
man had no other resource but to
enlist : he became a soldier ; was
lent abroad; Ihe had never heard
from him hnce; had been deliver
ed of the child now at her bread,
fpr whose support and her own Hie
(hould beg till her infant was a
few months older,when (he (hould >
try to get some more tepuWe

I’M weary of a fiogle life.
I really with I bad a wife ;
My years consume in care and»ptin.
And future prove# Fve liv’d in vain,
IVi flay’d To long thro* doubt and fear,
The girls now fly me like a deer ;
And wjien a pretty maid.
It me of wedlock is afraid,
Or Betsey, will you be my bride ?
She laughs as if foe’d split Wide.
Gnod Loan! mufti endure fo c h (corn ?
I wi(h I never had been born !
Or 1 had (hon’d this deadly woe.
By wedding forty years ago.
But well they may revile at me.
I’m not the fame I us’d to be :
My beard h long, my head is grey,
My eyes are fore, my teeth decay •
My Ihirt is dirty, and much wqm, , t
Mycoa: is old, my (mail clothes tom
My (hoes al»s ! they have no foies.
My flockings have hundred hole?,
Aad all tWe woes and ills of hfe
Are nothing but the want of wife I
Please God I live and tarry here.
I’ll have a wife before a year.
But (hould I nnfoccefaful prove,
In all the fond intrigues of love ;
Should all despise me and my pelf,

THE good husband is one,
who wedded not by in
terest, but by choice, is con
ftan t as well from inclination
as from principle. He treats
his wife with delicacy as a
.woman, with tenderness as a
friend: He attributes 5 her fol
lies to her weakness, her im
prudence to her inadvertency t .
He passes them over therefore
with good nature,and pardons
them with indulgence: All
his cape and industry are em
ployed for her welfare; all
ibis strength and power aieex
erted for her lapport and pro
tedion ; heSs more anxious
to preserve his own character
and reputation, because hers
as blended with it: Laftly,the
gopH hulband is pious and re
ligious, that he may animate
her faith by his practice, and
enforce the precepts of Chrif*
tianity by his own example:
That as they join to promote
each others happinels in this .
world, they may unite to in
lure eternal joy (and felicity in
that which is to come.
he educated for the army, and
promised to gee him a commiffiop
when he was twcnty.one ; but the
boy died at fouteen.
By Mon fie ur Zink (he had two
children, each of them were well
^provided for; and dne of them
was a very few years since alive,
and welt situated in a northern
province.
