For ever bprns and burns the fame.

ON IMPUDENCE.

THIS vice is too well known 70 need a de-
6nition. No protection Of life but it appears in,
and is become even neceGary to recommend
virtue its opPoG5e, modefy, being almoA
turned cut of the world.
A reverend and fubmiGive behavior becomes
him who fpeaks publicly in a court Of Juice.
Yet how contrary is the demeanor Of our mott
admired orators; among them an uncouth,
boiReroUs, and mmethodical flow Of words
paGes for eloquence, often diverGhed with low
wit and language Of The bear garden. Cicero
never pronounced an Grafton, but he began
trembling. Amonga US the brief is given one
hour, and the harangue made the next. Moth
ers are pleafed with the PeItnels Of their daugh-
tiers, aud forwardnefs 10 vice pades with The
father for mark of great genius
The practice of the ancients was widely diff
ferent ModeRy with them was the arongef
guard Of virtue. Cato feeling young man
bluh. faid " Be not Duplicated with that huihing
in thy cheeks, my lad, il is the colour of virtue
If imPudence IS difagreeable in men, it is
more 70 in women, 10 whofe fex modeRy feems
eGential. The diveTGons and liberties allowed
amongR US, are. but juh within the bounds
of decency and innocence.
Purity of heart, is Of all others the mot ex
cellent, as we'll as the m0a elevated virtue and
therefore poor Greek maiden being afked what
fortune lhe would bring her hulband anfwered
truly and bravely, g will bring bin what IS
more valuable than any treafure, heart I'm.
fported, and that portion of virtue without a
1ain, which was all that defended to me from
my parents"
