A wit, in addressing a note to the Editor of the
Norfolk Herald, on the fubjett of a certain Wil
liam Wright's absconding from that borough,
who had followed the business of dying, very hu
mouroufty observes that “ he was Wright" in go
ing off. He knew well the fatal fearon at this
place was fall approaching, and as he was in the
habit of dying for others, he might be entirely
knocked up in business, by dying himfelf." And
concludes by remarking, “ As for the cloathes he
had to dye, and which he carried away with him,
be is only (in the way of his trade) giving them an
airing.
round,
The IGnu: cans praise and bespatter the Tory,
And write fcnegyries, and print in Aurora;
But to prafj you would fruftate each future en
deavor,
Once known to tell truth they are ruin'd forever.
Your petitioners therefore in terrible case,
Entreat you to draw on yourfelf feme disgrace ;
Be profafe from our coffers, involve us in blood,
Be no longer intelligent, noble, and good ;
Do fotnething unworthy :—or, fad to relate,
Their vocation is ruin'd, and this is their fate ;
To leave plenty at home, seek their ill-gotten
bread,
In the land where their prototype Cobbet is fled.
—At leatt if not crimes, let some errors be found,
Your petitioners pray, as by intereJi they're bound.

DROLL EPITAPH.
Here lies honed Ned,
Because he is dead :
Had it been his father,
We had much rather ;
Had it been his mother,
Then better than t'other ;
Had it been his filler,
We should not have mifs'd her ;
But since 'tis honefl Ned,
There's no more to be said.

Centre of ^oralitg.
VIRTUE is of intrinsic value and good desert,
and of inditpeufable obligation ; not the creature
of will, bat necessary and immutable ; not local
or temporory, but of equal extent and antiquity
with the Divine mind ; not a mode of sensation
but everlafling truth ; not dependant on power,
but the guide ofall power. Virtue is the founad
tion of honor and esteem, and the source of ail
beauty, order and happiness in nature. It is what
confers value on all the other endowments and
qualities of a reasonable being, to whichthey ought
to be absolutely subservient ; and without which,
the more eminent they are; the more hideous de
formities, and the greater curses they become.
The use of it is not confined to any one flage of
onr exigence, or to any particular situation we
can be in, but reaches through all the periods and
circumstances of our beings. .Many of the endow
ments and talents we now poflefs, and of which
we are too apt to be proud, will cease entirely
with the present Gate ; but this will be our orna
ment and dignity in every future state, to which
we may be removed. Beauty and wit will die,
learning will vaniffi away, and all the arts of lite
be soon forgot ; but virtue will remain forever.
Such is the importance of virti e—Ot what con
sequences therefore is it that we practife ! There
is no argument or motive, in any refpeft, fitted
to influence a reasonable mind, which does not
call us to this. One virtuous disposition of foul is
preferable to the greatest accomplishment and
abilities, and of more value than all the treasures
in the world.
If you are wife, then,' study virtue, and contemn
every tiling that can come in competition with it.
Remember, that nothing else deserves one anx
ious thought or with. Remember, that this alone
is honor, glory, wealth, and happiness. Second
this, and you secure every thing. Lose this, and
all is loft.
