The Romans not only rewarded those
Whomarried, but decreed penalties against
men who remained in a state of celibacy.
Fines were first levied on unmarried men
about the year of Rome $50; and when
peCuniary forieitures failed to ensure their
obedience 10 these connubial ediots, tber
cOntumacious neglect of the fair sex was
punished by degradation from their tribe.
CelibacY continued, however, to gain
ground 10 Rome; and to counterfeit ns et-

foundation ofthe city, the censors had re.

august g..

Oh; it is agony; TO see the eye
Which oft hath wept, in sorrow, for our Sadness
Which told of constancy that could not die,
And beaned upon US in IFS Joy and gladness:
With cold Indifference, now pass us by.
Ills this that stngs the feeling soul to madness
That is, to make plain English of the sentence.
To be forgotten by our old acquaintance.
II.
Speaking of eyes; Pm very fond of those
Which prove the lady generous and kind
If they doni't press too near upon her nose:
But after all, ever feel inclined
To give the preference to that which shsws
The life, and the intelligence of mind;
Although such eyes are very far from COMMON
But, OF all things, hate cross-eyed woman.
III.
Well "there is nothing new beneath the sum-
So says the wise man Of the olden time u;
I'll not dispute the case with Solomon
For that would be folly; some say, crime.
From change to change, progressive, still we run
But mans the same in every age and cline,
The very slave and fool Of circumstances
And life is but string of contra.dances
w.
All this sounds we'll /; but it has no connection
With Cousin Lucy'a or with Sans adventures
This kind of writing has sole direction;
No single object where it ever centres
We write as thoughts arise, upon reflection,
And are free agents, bound by no indentures.
