by the subsequent Discourse, they had
dissented the day before about the
Preference of Elder to Wine Vinegar.
In the midst of their Discourse. there
appeared a Dish of Chickens and Spar
agrass when the husband seemed dis
posed to lay aside all Dispute; and
looking upon her with a great deal of
good Nature said, Pray, my Dear, will
you help my Friend to Wing of the
Fowl that lies next to you, for 1 think
it looks extremely WELL The Lady in
stead of answering him, addressing
herself to me, Pray, Sir, said she, do
you in Surrey reckon the white or the
black Legged Fowls the best? I found
the Husband changed Colour at the
question, and before / could answer,
asked me whether we did not call Hops
Broom in our Country? I quickly
found they did not ask Questions so
much out of Curiosity as Anger: For
which Reason | thought fit to keep my
Opinion to myself and as an honest
man ought, (when he sees Two Friends
in Warmth with each other) / took the
first Opportunity to leave them by

"Lovemore and his Wife live together
in the happy profession of each others
Hearts and by that Means have no in
different Moments, but their whole Life
is one continued Scene of Delight.
Their Passion for each other commune
Gates certain Satisfaction, like that
which they themselves are in, to all
that approach them When she enters
the Place where he is, you see a Pleas
ure which he cannot conceal nor he or
any one else describe. In so consum-
mate an Affection, the Presence of the
Person beloved, has the effect of the
most agreeable conversation. Whether
they have matter to talk of or not, they
enjoy the Pleasures of Society, and It
the same time the Freedom of Solitude.
Their culinary Life is to be preferred to
the happiest Moments of other Lovers.
In Word, they have each of them
great Merit, live in the Esteem of all
who know them, and seem but to COM
ply with the Opinions of their Friends
in, the. just Value they have for each
other"

the present idea of newspapers than

of the News Letter contains credit
able cut of THE plan of Carthagena,
its Harbour and Forts" In picturing
the harbour the art department of
the News Letter left no doubt as to the
position of the British ships, for the
vessels are about three times as con-
splcuous as any mountain or other OBJ |
ject on land or sea. The location of
