WANTS, WHICH EVERY ONE
MUST FEEL.

Virtue wants-Sincere votaries; Wis
dom-more earnest suppliants; and Truth
real friends and admirers.
Pure and undefiled Religion wants
less said about the theory, and more don
about the practice Of it.
Philanthropy wants--a residence, am
Fidelity--an asylum.
Love and Charity want-to be in bet
ter credit.
Pride wants-to be kicked out of com
pany, and Humility introduced
Every old woman, silly girl, or off
cious young fellow, who hears of any
amour, (or even of two persons of differ
ent sexes being seen TO converse togetherl
want nightly to be at the bottom of 1t.
Every old bachelor (who has not some
body iacog) wants-a 'vife; "every gif
in America" above fifteen, not ALREADY
provided for, wants---a husband.

HYPOCRICY.

Those wretches, who had abused virtui
itself, the best gift of Heaven, to dis
honest purposes, are punished as the mos
criminal of men; the child who had mur
dered his parents; the wife who had i'm
blued her hands in her husbands blood
are punished with less severity than
these; because hypocrites are not conteDI
to be wicked upon the common terms
they would be vicious with the reputaioa
of virtue, and by an appearance Of virtue
which at length is found to be false, they
prevent mankind from putting confidence
in the true.

To limit mercy's sovereign reigni
What other happy souls have found,
I'm seek; nor shall seek in vain.

And if thou spurn me from thy throne,
