There is II town IN Warwickshire, of good
note, and formerly pretty famous for much
nimositv and dissension. the chief families
of which havc now turned all their whis-
pcrs, back.bitings, onvice and private NAL
ices, into mirth and entertainment, by means
OF a pocvsh old gcntlc-woman, known by
the title of l.ady Blucmantle. This heroine
had, for many years together, outdone tho
whole sistcrhood of gossips in invention, in
quick utcrancc, and unprovoked malice
This good body is of a lasting constitution,
though extremely decayed in her eyes, and
dccropit i'll her feet. Tho two circumstances
OF being always at home from her lameness,
her lodgings the respectable of all that
passes in town, good or bad; but for the
latter she seems to have better memory
There is another thing to be noted of her
which is, that as it is usual with old people,
she has livclcr memory of things which
passed when she was very young, than of
late years. Add to all this, that she does
not only not love anybody, but she hates
everybody, The statue of lasqun in Rome
does not serve TO vent malice half SO we'll
as this old lady docs to disappoint it. She
does not know the author of anything that
is told her, but can readily repeat tie mat
ter itself; therefore, though she exposes an
the whole town, she ottends no one in it.
Thus groundles stories die
away, and when they have mind to dis
comtenance thing, they have a general
word in the town; "Oh, this is one of my
Lady Bluemantlc's Memoirs"
Whoever receives impressions to the dis
advantage of others, without examination,
is to be held in no other credit for intelli-
gcnce than this good Lady Bluemontle, who
is subjected to have her oars imposed upon
for want of other helps to better informa-
ton. Add to this, that other scandal low
ers suspend the use of those faculties which
she has lost, rather than apply them to do
Justice to their own.neighbors.
