The libertine who builds a name
On the base ruins of a woman's fame,
Shall own the bed of human blessings he
ln the chatte honors of the nuptial tie.
There dwells the homelelt sweet, the dear
delight,„
s There peace reposes, and there joys unite.
' And female virtue was by heaven defigifd.
To charm, to polish, and toblefs mankind.
CHEERFULNESS.
Cheerfulnefs even to gaiety, is confident with
every species of virtue and practice pf religion.-—
Be ye as one of^thefe, faith' the Lord, that is, as
merry as little children.,
Fair as the dawn of light ! anfpicious guest ; _
Source of all comforts to the ifaman breast !
Depriv'd of thee, in fad despair we moan,
And tedious roll the heavy moments on.
, ,PLEASURE.
Would you—or would you not with pleasure live;
CTis virtue can alone-the bleffiog give ;
With ardent spirit her alone pursue,
And with contempt all other pleasures view.
SECRECT. •'
~Secrets are edge tools, and must be kept from
children and from fools. He who trutts a<ecret
to his servant, makes his own man his matter# A
/ man without secrecy is an open letter for every
one to read. The itch of knowing secrets isnia
turally attended with another itch for telling
things., „ „
Premeditate your speeches, words once flown
Are in the hearer's power—not your own.
READING,
* We should not read a newspaper on purpose to
find its faults ; but purely to underhand it.„
Whoever thinks a faultlefs piece to fee,
Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er (hall be;
In every work regard the writer's end;
, 1 Since none can compels more than' they intend.

ELEGANT EXTRACTS. i ¥ ^
RICHES.
Think not,O man ! that thou art truly great,
Because thou halt, perhaps, a large eltate,
Or may r ft the greatest earthly honors bear,
For too —too many thus mi(taken are;
But fa your virtuous actions daily prove,
You truly merit universal love.
Greafltefs alone in virtue ? s understood,
> Zone's truly great, but he who s truly good.
Riches cover a greater number of faults, than
ever charity has done. Riches cannot purchase
worthy endowments ; they make us neither , wiser
nor healthier. None but intellectual possessions
are what we can properly call our own. A,ne
coat is but a livery, when he who wears it disco
vers no more sense than a footman^ It is an info
lenee in the wealthy to affix, as niuch as in them
lies, the character of a man to his circumstances.
PRIDE. 0
Every man, however little, makes a figure in
his own eyes. He who thinks no man above him
but for his virtue, none below him but for vice,
can never be obSequious in a wrong place. That
is a mean and despicable kind of pride, that mea
sures worth by the gifts of fortune, the greatest
portion of which, is too often in hands of the
lead deferring. Proud men never have friends ;
neither in prosperity, because they know no body,
nor in adversity, because then no body knows
them.
By ignorance is pride increas'd,
Those most assume who know the least ;
Their.own falfe balance gives them weight,
But every other finds them light.
BEAUTY.
Let a woman be decked with all the embellish
ments of art and care of nature ; yet if boldness
be ta be read in her face, it blpts all the lines of
beauty. The plainer the dress, with greater luf
tre does beauty appear': Virtue is the best orna
ment, and good sense the best equipage. An in
violable fidelity, good humor and complacency
of temper in a woman, outlive all the charms of
a fine face, and make the decays of it invisible.
Virtue's the chiefeft beauty of the mind,
' The noblest ornament of human kind.
The liberality of nature in the person is but too
frequently attended with a deficiency in the un
derltanding.^ r
Beauty alone, in vain its charms dispense,
The charms of beauty are the charms of sense.
Beauty, without.the* graces of the mind, will
have no power over the hearts of the wife and
good. Beauty is a flower which soon withers,
health changes, and ftrengtb abates ; butinnocen
cy is immortal, and a comfort both in life and
death. -
Let us foppofe the virtuous mind a role,
Which nature plants and education blows.
Merit, accompanied with beauty, is a jewel set
to advantage. '* „
Let virtue prove your never fading bloom,
For mental beauties will survive the tomb.
— ==^==±
chastity.
That chastity is not the only virtue of woman,
is most certain ; but Bill it is so essential to the
perfection of every other virtue in her that the Jois
or want of it, like the fin of idolatry among the
Israelites, weakens the force and takes off the me
rit of them, imprintuig such a (lain upon the foul,
as follies every emanation of it. This virtue of
chattity, has ever been esteemed so inseparably ne
cessary to every character, and particularly the
female character, that every civilized people in
the world have guarded it with the greatest care,
The chaste mind, like a polished plane, m^y ad
mit foul thoughts, without receiving their tinc
ture.

often told his female friends, that " a dilligent &
frugal woman always had a large Shift"—-That
"it you would be wealthy, think of faring as

And men for their punch forfook hewing and fptitting.",

TO REPUBLICANS.
This work is designed to difleminate Truth a*
mong the deceived and uninformed part of your
fellow-citizens ; to wipe off the mills of delusion
from the eyes of those who are led affray by the
foes of the Rights of Man, and lay open ter view
the designs, arts and intrigues of such characters,
and to amide and edify those who have enlihed
under the banners of Republicanism, as defenders
of the liberties of their country, against arbitrary
and unjust persecution. Having already received
very liberal encouragement, the Proprietors flat
ter themfelveS that the undertaking will prove
fuccefsful, if patronized by you, whole hands have
been often outfiretched to support the foundation
of American freedom, against the intrigues of a
powerful ariflocracy, who ,ave endeavored by
> misrepresentation, unconflitotional and improper
laws, large bodies of mercenary troops, &c. &c.
to subvert the firft principles of your government,
and render the Constitution useless, in order that
one more confident with their wifbes, might be
reared up on'its ruins. The characters and con
duct of all ranks and degrees of Citizens, will e
ver be refpeCted, and nothing (half be admitted in
the pages of the Patriot, which may introduce
either to public view, unless their pursuits evince a
diSpufition to sap the platform of Republicanism,
when, every measure will be taken to warn its
friends of the approaching danger, and all re
straint difpertfed with, in order that the foes of
Columbia, may feel the lash of ^ vigilant and faith
ful Sentinel. Advertisements will be excluded,
