POLITICAL.
While the proposed purchase of Louisiana was yet doubtful, and faction had formed a hope that the wish of the people would be disappointed in the failure of the negotiation now pending, and discontents arise against government, it was said by federalists "that Louisiana was of the utmost consequence to the future prosperity and security of the nation, that it was a valuable and extensive territory, which would add vastly to our dominions and command infinite resources; that it would afford an annual increase to our revenues of incalculable advantage; that it would remove a dangerous neighbor from our borders, and become a strong frontier sufficient to defy all hostile attempts against our internal territories, that it would remove thousands of slaves from foreign power, and enable them to enjoy the sweets of liberty; in fine, that it was an acquisition much to be desired, and which we must procure though at an extravagant price."
But when the wisdom of our administration effected the purchase by honorable means, at a price much inferior to what public expectation had surmised, the opinion of our federal politicians was changed with camelion facility from approbation into censure. Its value experienced a sudden and astonishing depreciation, in their opinion, and they were soon convinced, that this once land of paradise was good for nothing. Then their language was, "that it was a vast desert of uncultivated wilds, into the depth of which human curiosity had never penetrated, inhabited only by savages, whose barbarous ferocity would present an insuperable barrier to settlement; that it was destitute of all the luxuries, and most of the necessaries of life; that its boundaries were so extensive as to require a large force to defend the inroads of Spanish avarice, and the maintenance of such an army would outweigh the profit to be derived from the purchase; beside, that the distance would preclude us from any effective operations in that quarter; that it would always be a bone of contention, a source of endless controversy, and that we should be placed in the disagreeable alternative, of continual fighting or degrading submission, and finally that the disposition of its few civilized inhabitants, accustomed to manners and language different from our own, would make it a difficult task to restrain them within the bounds prescribed by law and duty."
Such is their present language. Is this representation exaggerated? Is it not correct in every particular? How can we then confide in the assertions of men whose sentiments change so often.
National Register.
The Republicans have every reason to justify their zeal in defence of the present administration. By its wisdom, the public expenses have been lessened, and the peace of the nation has been secured. The Constitution remains unimpaired by ambition, and strengthened by its prolonged existence. The very zealous efforts to subvert the present order of things, demand a corresponding zeal in its support. The same objections which were made at the revolution, are now made to patriotism: that it possesses not the wisdom of corrupt nations, or the policy of corrupt courts. Divisions have been the expedients to destroy, and after every insult to faithful men from their enemies, attempts have been made to betray them by false friends. But as you now retain all your strength it is your duty to exert it. Read the language of the opposition in the great cities, and see the jealousy which they discover of the prudence or wisdom with which they act against the prevailing sense of the nation. Simple truth can require no such apprehensions. While every slander has been employed, and every sneer, let not such things intimidate or pervert your minds. Never was the reputation of Mr. Jefferson greater, at home and abroad, than at the present moment. They who have reviled him, have dispised every thing belonging to America, and have flattered every thing foreign, and unfriendly to this nation. They have reproached its institutions, and evidently strive to promote not only a change in the administration, but in the national character, alliances, and first principles of its government. Give then a decided preference to the men, who give such a preference to the government of your choice. Let the decisive conduct, and past wisdom of these men, be the best recommendation. They who have done most for your interest will receive the first shafts of political hatred, and they should be the first to receive your united suffrages and protection.

FOREIGN NEWS.
PARIS, SEPT. 17, 1806. The general opinion here is that continued War is unavoidable. The speedy departure of the Emperor is spoken of as an event not improbable. Lord Lauderdale is still here. Frequent Couriers pass between this and Holland; and it is believed the will be called upon to take a considerable part in the war which now threatens all Europe.
French Naval Expeditions.
CHRISTIANSAED, AUG. 8. We have received information here, that a French Squadron which suddenly appeared in the Greenland Seas, has destroyed on those shores a great number of whalers. This intelligence is certain, as it comes from Bergen, where two vessels arrived which had been taken by the French and released, with part of the crews of the captured ships—Amongst the number of prizes taken by the French Squadron, off Greenland, are twenty eight of the best laden whalers. They were surprised to the East of Greenland, by the very unforeseen arrival of the French, who having taken all they wished to seize, sunk those which they did not wish to take away, and forced the rest to run into the ice. The French Squadron then bore away to the westward, and entered Davis's Straits at the moment when several whalers completely laden, were commencing their homeward voyage. There is, therefore, no doubt that they made rich and numerous captures, and caused considerable damage to the English. The loss occasioned by this unforeseen blow to the English commerce, at Greenland alone, is valued here at from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 six dollars, that is to say, 8 or 10,000,000 French. The expedition to Davis's Straits must have caused the loss to the English of all the produce of the Newfoundland Fishery for this year. The French Squadron, previous to its arrival at Greenland, had taken and sunk the privateer Simpson, of Leith, of 20 guns and 120 men, sent to these seas, to fall in with the Prussian fishing vessels. All these details have been received from Bergen within these two days, and were sent by the captured Captains, who were released by the French.
Dreadful Catastrophe.
Accounts have been received of a most terrible accident having happened at Malta . On the 18th of July (some of the letters say on the 15th) a magazine, containing nearly 400 barrels of gunpowder and a number of shells, grenades, and other combustibles, blew up and caused incredible mischief. Upwards of 1400 inhabitants are reported to have been killed or dreadfully mangled, a number of houses were destroyed, and some damage done to the ships in the harbour. The following is a copy of one of the letters that have been received:
"MALTA, JULY 18.— Private Letter. "I now come to relate to you an event of the most melancholy description, and almost unparalleled in regard to the dreadful and miserable consequences. It happened this morning. A magazine took fire, and blew up with an explosion scarcely ever known to be equalled; by it 370 barrels of gunpowder, and above 1600 shells and grenades, were blown up. Such an immense quantity as 40,000 lbs. of gunpowder must occasion the most dreadful havoc and destruction. The houses adjacent in every direction were blown immediately into ruins—and how shocking it was to the inhabitants you may easily conceive, as there was no chance of escaping. The buildings are all of stone, of an immense thickness. It is calculated that one thousand persons have either perished or are dreadfully maimed. The principal sufferers are the Maltese, who chiefly lived near the place. One man has lost his wife and six children—others nearly the same; and whole families are buried together. Those who escaped momentary death perhaps, are shockingly disfigured and maimed, and crawling about in a miserable condition. Fourteen artillerymen, who were in the magazine, were of course blown to atoms. The band of a regiment (the 39th) were just playing, "God save the King" near the place—two men were killed on the spot—the whole remainder were much wounded. The guards on duty were killed. The magazine is situated on the side of the water opposite to the city of Valletta ; it is called Barmota . Stones were thrown over to us, some to the distance of two miles. It was situated close to the water side, and the bed of the sea was so shook by it that it rose up and overflowed the banks. Two small vessels were sunk. Immense stones were thrown up which fell into the water; others on the ships and rigging; one I saw which fell on a vessel just arrived, weighed an hundred weight. The guard ship, the Madras man of war, is moored some distance from the disastrous place; but a stone fell on the quarter deck and broke the thigh of the gunner, who had lately arrived. A Mr. Woodhouse here, who, with his brother, has a great wine-making concern in Sicily, has lost two hundred and fifty pipes of it, worth nearly 7000l.—they were at some little distance from the place; but the shock was so great that the corks burst."
"In short, it is a scene of misery which no language can describe. The churches are filled with the dead. A friend of mine, just come from the ruins, says, that he was walking over them, when he lighted on the head of a woman. Her whole body was crushed flat; and although it is only a few hours since the general calamity took place, her body, owing to the intense heat, was entirely putrified—Nothing farther has yet been ascertained."
"It is supposed, however, that the men were employed in cutting away the stones from the shells, or doing something like that, when by some means, a spark arose. The merchants here have begun a subscription of twenty pounds each, for the relief of the poor sufferers. A whole town, I may say is destroyed."
The accident happened this morning about a quarter past six o'clock. They say there are now buried in the ruins one thousand barrels of gunpowder that are in danger: but I trust in God it is untrue, for were that to blow up it would bring all Malta in ruins. May the Almighty avert such another disaster!"
HAMBURG, SEPT. 25, 1806. The number of Swedish troops in Lauenburg (Hanover) increases; and, it is said, are to be joined by a body of Prussian troops. The Prussian Minister has frequent conferences with our cabinet.
BY THE MAILS.
RALEIGH, (N. C.) OCT. 20. A man by the name of Miller was convicted at the late Superior Court at Salisbury, on a charge of poisoning a person named Hill, and was sentenced to be hung for the offence. Miller, it is said, came a stranger into that part of the country some time ago on foot, and without money, professing to be himself the son of a merchant of New-York &c. After some time, being acquainted with the hat making business, he worked as a journeyman at that trade. He formed an acquaintance with Hill (who was lately engaged by Gen. Monfort Stokes as an overseer of his plantation in Wilkes county.) Hill being rather a weak man, Miller flattered him with an expectation of being able to procure him store-goods from his connections in New-York, and by that means got possession of a considerable part of his property. What adds to the enormity of this crime, it appears Miller had seduced Hill's wife, who is suspected to have been concerned in the shocking act of poisoning her husband! It is believed that several attempts were made before the parties were able to effect their diabolical purpose. Arsenic was the poison used. We have not heard that the woman was apprehended.
Fire at St. Thomas.—Capt. Field, in the Federal George, from Baltimore, on Thursday last, off Block Island, spoke a brig from St. Thomas, for New-Haven, 25 days out, the captain of which informed, that a few days previous to his sailing, upwards of two thirds of the buildings on the western part of the Island of St. Thomas, had been destroyed by fire.
WASHINGTON CITY, OCT. 27. It is with the sincerest pleasure, that we announce to our fellow citizens, the arrival of CAPTAIN LEWIS, with his exploring party, at St. Louis.
The President of the U. States has received a letter from him, dated at St. Louis, Sept. 23, at which place himself, Capt. Clarke and their party arrived that day. They had passed the preceding winter at a place which he calls Fort Clark, near the mouth of the Columbian river. They set out thence on the 27th of March last, and arrived at the foot of the Rocky mountains May 10, where they were detained until June 24, by the snows which rendered the passage over those mountains impracticable until then. He found it two thousand five hundred and seventy five miles from the mouth of the Missouri to the great falls of that river, thence by land passing the Rocky mountains to a navigable part of the Kootsoofke three hundred and forty miles, of which two hundred would admit good road, and one hundred and forty miles over tremendous mountains, which for sixty miles are covered with eternal snows, then seventy three miles down the Kootsoofke into a south eastwardly branch of the Columbia, one hundred and forty miles down that to the main river of the Columbia, and then four hundred and thirteen miles to the Pacific in all, three thousand five hundred and fifty five miles from the mouth of the Missouri to the mouth of the Columbia. In this last river the tide flows one hundred and eighty three miles, to within seven miles of its great rapids, and so far would admit large vessels; and from thence upwards may be navigated by bateaux and periaugurs. He speaks of this whole line furnishing the most valuable furs in the world, and a short and direct course for them to the eastern coast of China; but that the greatest part of these would be from the head of the Missouri. He says it is fortunate he did not send back from the head of the Missouri any part of his force consisting of thirty one men, as more than once they owed their lives and the fate of the expedition to their numbers. One man of his party had died before he reached Fort Mandan in 1804; every other one is returned in good health.
Capt. Lewis expected to remain at St. Louis some days to settle with and discharge his men, and would then set out for Wallingford, by the way of Vincennes, Louisville, Abingdon, Fincastle, Staunton and Charlottesville. He is accompanied by the great Mandan chief, who is on a visit to Washington. Capt. Lewis speaks of his colleague, captain Clarke, in the most affectionate terms, and declares his equal title to whatever merit may be ascribed to the success of this enterprise.
Mr. Erskine, son of the lord chancellor, and the new minister from England, is a young gentleman of amiable and respectable character and warmly attached to the United States. He married about 7 years ago, the daughter of Gen. Cadwallader, of Pennsylvania, one of the patriots of 1776, and who bled in his country's defence. By this marriage, Mr. E. has a daughter whom he left in Philadelphia, (when he returned to England some years ago) with her grandmother, Mrs. Cadwallader, the general's widow.—Mr. Erskine's father, the lord chancellor, is known to entertain, and to express upon all occasions, the most partial sentiments towards this country, and to have vested a considerable portion of his property in the American funds. The sending out Mr. Erskine to the United States in the character
he now fills, is the strongest proof of the sincere disposition of the British government to cultivate a lasting friendship with the United States.

BOSTON, NOVEMBER 6.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the arrival of the brig Byfield , Capt. Foster, in the very short passage of 37 days from Copenhagen, we have been favoured with Hamburg and Copenhagen papers to the 27th Sept.
The following translations shew that their contents are
HIGHLY INTERESTING.
COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 2. "They write from Konisberg, that troops are embarking in several Russian ports to be transported to Pomerania."
"The combined Dutch and French army, in Holland, is said to amount to 70,000 men."
"Several camps are formed on the frontiers of Russia."
"The Prussian troops are moving towards the grand army now forming in Saxony."
"It is said that the French minister at Berlin has demanded his passports."
"The Prussian troops in every direction are in motion. Nothing is said in the German papers relative to Austria."
From the German papers.
"The late Prussian minister at London, Mr. Jacobi, who had proceeded on his journey home, has arrived at Hamburg; and it is believed, intends returning immediately to England."
"The French troops on the Rhine and Maine, are in motion; and a part of them actually passed over to the right bank of the latter river, at Frankfort."
"The French emperor's body guards have quitted the palace of St. Cloud, and been replaced by other troops."
"The treasures of the cathedral at Munster have been removed to Magdeburg for safety."
Capt. Poor, late of the ship Sally of Newburyport, from Baltimore for Amsterdam, has arrived at New-York from Halifax, where his vessel and one-fourth of the cargo were condemned. In the first place, the ship and three-fourths of the cargo were restored to the Capt. but on asking for freight for what was condemned, the judge reversed his decree, and condemned the ship.
The late French papers state, that Jerome Bonaparte, on the 18th Aug. fell in with the Quebec fleet of 16 sail, and captured 9 of them, valued at 5 millions, burnt them, and put the crews on board American vessels;—and that during a cruise of 9 months, the fleet destroyed upwards of 200 English merchantmen.
[Newburyport paper.]
Counterfeit Bills.
Scarcely a week passes without the detection of some villain in counterfeiting or passing counterfeit Bank Bills. On the 15th inst. a man named Jesse Dutton, was apprehended in Batavia, and committed to prison, for passing counterfeit Bills of different kinds, viz. Four Dollar Bills of Cheshire Bank, at Keene, (N. H.) Nine Dollar do. of the Maine Bank, at Portland; and Five Dollar Bills of the Nantucket Pacific Bank. The Plates upon which the different Bills were impressed, appear to have been engraved by the same person; they were badly executed—the paper likewise is bad. On the morning of the 23d, said Dutton was found dead in his prison; he had a lancet in his hand, with which he had opened an artery in his left arm, that caused his death.
[Canandaigua paper.]
Wonderful Providence—On Tuesday, the 28th of October last, Lieut. John Proctor, of Henniker, attempted to descend his well for the purpose of cleaning it; but the rope suspended from a windlass, and intended to be his chief support as he should step from stone to stone, broke the very instant he began to bear upon it, and he fell 37 feet to the bottom of the well. But by the preserving hand of a merciful God, not a bone of him was broken, nor a joint dislocated. And though his body was very much shook, yet he is in a hopeful way to a speedy recovery. Mr. Proctor is 49 years of age, and weighs about two hundred.
[Amherst Cabinet.]
A beet has been raised this season by Capt. N. Frost, Kennebunk, which weighed 12 pounds, measured 18 3/4 inches round, and 24 in length to where it was 3/4 inch in diameter. He raised 12 other beets, weighing 130 lbs. in the aggregate. The seeds were sown in beds thrown up 2 1/2 or 3 feet.
A daring, but ineffectual attempt, was made last evening to rob the Merchants' Bank in this city. [Batt. Ev. Pbl.]
It was reported in Delaware on the 29th ult. that C. A. Rodney, Esq. had been appointed by the President, an associate Judge.
HARTFORD, (CON.) NOV. 6.
We are informed that the prisoners in New-Gate, on Saturday last, attempted to rise on the Guards and make their escape, they however did not succeed.—In the affray one of the prisoners, a Negro was shot through the head, and instantly expired.
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY NOVEMBER 11, 1806.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The Byfield , Foster, from Cronstadt and Copenhagen, has brought the latest advices from the north of Europe.
The Emperor Alexander had not only refused to ratify D'Oubril's treaty, but had punished him for signing an instrument so contrary to his instructions. The most active preparations for offensive war, "by flood and field," was the consequence.—Troops were embarking for Pomerania to strengthen the Swedish and Prussian forces there; and Prince Conslantine, the brother of the Emperor, was zealously engaged in the warlike preparations.
At Copenhagen, Sept. 30th, it was reported, that hostilities had commenced between the French and Prussian troops (probably in Saxony;)—But that Lord Lauderdale, though he had thrice demanded his passports, remained still at Paris.
Like desperate and intoxicated gamblers, the monarchs of Europe, are about to re-engage in active war—Charles Fox has retired from the theatre of human madness just in time to escape a participation in the shame and ignominy of the catastrophe, and left his country without an equal in greatness of mind or in fitness to concentrate the confidence which is always attracted or repelled by pre eminent talents. In the cabals and intrigues of an aristocracy or oligarchy, the genius and talents, the independence, sagacity and firmness of character which rendered Charles Fox the first man of his country in fact, always rendered him but secondary in effect and in power, to men who were to him inferior in every human endowment and qualification. It was in seasons of great trial, when the exigency became too mighty for the feeble powers of a corrupt government, and its servile instruments, that the dismayed creatures of a court, and amidst indignant murmurs, that an abused people looked around and saw in him such a man as was calculated to save a sinking nation, and to restore order and regimen in a state disordered even by the excess of health—and to consolidate by wisdom, energy and courage, the capacities and the confidence of a nation driven by the disasters of a ruinous policy, by the avarice of a rapacious royalty and royal household, by abuses so diffusive and deep, as to render the vigor and the constancy of an Hercules necessary to their correction and removal.
That man is now no more, and as we many weeks ago predicted—Grenville will be the Lord of the ascendant—that vain, imbecile, and pragmatic courtier, will become the imitator of Pitt, without Pitt's energy; he will be the copiest only of his desperate system, fruitless only of disaster and misfortune, with a superaddition of evil measures.
It seems as if Providence had propelled the rulers of Europe into undertakings of the most extravagant nature, only to humble them all, and by some great revolution in human affairs to bring the world to a state of peace and amelioration. The conduct of Russia cannot be accounted for on any grounds but those of the blindest extravagance; and the consequences which may follow, tho' not to be calculated with exactness, may be pretty generally anticipated. In a future paper we shall have occasion to touch these topics at large. [Aurora.]
WEST-INDIA NEWS.
Accounts from St. Domingo via Jamaica, announced that Ferrand had gained a considerable victory over the Blacks, 4 or 5000 of whom were killed or wounded in the conflict. It was said dispatches had been received from France, with assurance that one of the Bonaparte family (probably Jerome) would be appointed Governor of St. Domingo.
By the way of Jamaica, we have information that Miranda had failed from Aruba with all his forces. It was conjectured he was going to Barbadoes for reinforcements.
The latest information from the westward is contained in letters from Gov. Claiborne, dated the 15th of Sept. At that time Gov. Claiborne was about 70 miles from Natchitoches, occupied in organizing the militia, on whose part there appeared to be a general readiness to turn out, even among the French inhabitants. No change had taken place in the situation of the troops on either side.—Gov. Errara was still dangerously ill; his forces had been considerably diminished by disease, and the greater part of their horses had been sent beyond the Sabine for forage. Gov. Claiborne had held an interesting talk with the chief of the Caddoux tribe of Indians, and had ascertained their disposition to remain neutral. [Nat. Intet.]

An Alexandria paper reports, that a person of distinction (but does not name him) has been arrested in that neighborhood on a charge of high treason, by directions of the President. Some conjecture that the person of distinction is Mr. Burr.— Amer. Cit.
A National Festival is notified in the Aurora, at Philadelphia, on the 15th of November, to commemorate the triumph of principle in the prohibition of British manufacture, against certain articles of British manufacture, and the pacific assertion of our national rights.
Fires. —We learn that one third of the town of St. Thomas has been destroyed by fire—damage estimated at two millions of dollars.—The Glass-house at E. Hartford, has been destroyed by fire, damage 6000 dollars.
Extract of a letter from a house in New Orleans, dated September 19, 1806.
"Two days since we had a violent gale of wind or hurricane, which has done very great injury to the shipping in the harbor, there being but one vessel which we know of which is not very much hurt."
"The cane fields are all laid flat for several leagues; in many instances the buildings are blown down, and the country exhibits a melancholy scene of desolation. It is conjectured that nearly one half of the crop of sugar is destroyed; many houses in town are unroofed and fences blown down. It commenced about 12 at night, and blew with great violence till 5 in the morning."
It is more than probable that the Hon. RICHARD COTTS, is re-elected to represent the district of York in the Tenth Congress of the United States.

Miscellaneous Repository. TO AUTUMN. HAIL! sober Autumn, lovely maid. I love thy garb of russet hue; I love to haunt thy leaf strewn glade, When deep impregn'd with morning dew. What though thou boast no blooming rose, No vivid green, no summer's glare, Thy calmness yields the mind repose, And bid'st thy beauties blossom there.
The following beautiful portrait, from a moral limner is painted from the life, and in colors which glow with brightness, and will last for ages. "The temper of a Christian is not a temper of sordid sensuality, or lazy apathy, or dogmatizing pride, or disappointed ambition.—More truly independent of worldly estimation, than philosophy, with all her boasts, it forms a perfect contrast to epicurean selfishness, to Stoical pride, and to Cynical brutality. It is a temper compounded of firmness and complacency, and peace and love; and manifesting itself in acts of kindness and of courtesy; a kindness not pretended, but genuine: a courtesy not false and superficial, but cordial and sincere. In the hour of popularity, it is not intoxicated or infolent, in the hour of unpopularity, it is not desponding or morose; unshaken in constancy, unwearied in benevolence, firm without roughness, and assiduous without servility."
A ROAD UNDER THE WATER. Who shall pretend to set limits to the peaceful progress of art? One conquest but prepares the means of another; and every day and every hour extends the bounds of her empire. But, unlike Alexander the great, she will never be forced to weep that she has "not other worlds to conquer." There are a thousand arts more complex and more progressive than the art of bridge making; but even in this simple art, what a gradual series of improvements meets our eye? the humble log thrown over the stream, the bridge of rafts; the bridge of boats; the unarched bridge of wood supported on pillars; the arched bridge; the more magnificent bridge of stone; and the towering compact bridge of iron. But in the following article from the London Monthly Magazine, is another plan for building almost original, and still more stupendous than its predecessors.
"An act of Parliament was obtained during the session of 1805, for powers to make underneath the Thames a communication, by means of a funnel or archway, for foot passengers, and a larger one for carriages. Measures are taken for immediately entering upon the execution of the plan, under the direction of engineers of the highest reputation, who entertain no doubt whatever of accomplishing it." This magazine has not informed us at what particular point on the Thames it is, that this subterraneous road is to run. The presumption, however, is, that it is to be formed below London bridge. In this situation, it will be far more convenient than a bridge over the Thames, because it will neither prevent large vessels from ascending above it, nor will it lead to the same inconveniences as a draw bridge. The arch which is constructed under the basin at Richmond, presents the very same idea, on a smaller scale.
[Enquirer] FASHION.—*** The other day my daughter Molly complained that our flight of stairs were such, that she found great difficulty either in ascending or descending; and requested that I would have them altered. "Indeed," said I, "this is a pretty story! There is your mother, an old woman, and here is your father, an old man; we have always found the stairs easy enough. It is your clothes which make the difficulty: give them another breadth and all is safe." "La! papa, how you talk! I have a breadth and a half in them already, and I would not add one inch more for the world! Indeed, papa, I intended, if you would only have the stairs altered, to have them reduced to one breadth." "Phaw," rejoined I, "if you go on at this rate, you will not be able to get up stairs at all. I'll tell you what, if you will reduce them to half a breadth, in order to accommodate you. I will have a hole cut through the ceiling, fix up a tackle, and hoist you up." This plan would not do; and my distressed daughter is still compelled to stick to her breadth and a half. You can't think, Mr. Editor, how I was tickled the other day, at an accident that happened in our kitchen. Molly, for some reason, or by some accident, (for 'tis but seldom she troubles her head about household affairs) attempted to mend the kitchen fire; in doing which, she overturned a tea-kettle filled with scalding water. Nature instantly prevented her with the means of avoiding injury from the disaster, by giving a spring beyond the distance the water would probably reach, but Fashion said, stand still. Nature cried out, Jump: Fashion, more vociferously, said, You shall not! but Nature prevailed—and Molly gave a leap; for which act of temerity Fashion was revenged, by throwing her down on her face.
