On the STATE of MARRfAGE in
ENGLAND.
IF you fee a man and woman, with little or no
occasion, often finding fault,, and correcting
one another in company, you may be sure they are
man and wife. If you fee a gentleman and lady in
the fame coach, in profound silence, the one looking
out at one fide, the other at the other fide, never
imagine they mean any harm to one another: they
are* already honcftly married.
If*you fee a lady accidentally let fall a glove or
aryl a gentleman that is next to her
’kindly telling her of it, that she might gather it up,
depdhd upon it they are man and wife. If you fee
a lady prefentiug a gentleman with fometbing
sideways, at arm's length, with her head turned
cuiotiaer way, (peakingto him with a look and ac
cent, different from that she uses to others, it is her
husband. If you fee a man and woman walking in
the fields, in a direCt line, twenty yards distance
from one another, the man strides over a style,
and goes on fans ceremonie , you may swear they
are man and wife without fear of perjury.
If you fee a lady, whole beauty and carriage
attracts the eyes, and engages the refpett of all the
company, except a certain gentleman, who speaks
to her in a rough accent, not at all affefted with
her charms, you may be sure it is her husband, who'
married her for love, and now flights her. If you
fee a gentleman that is courteous, obliging, and
good natured to everybody, except a certain female
that lives under the fame roof with him, to wh&n
he is unreasonably cross and ill natured, it is his
wife. If you fee a male and female continually
jarring, checking, and thwarting each other, yet
I under the kindefl terms and appellations imagin
lable, as my dear, &c. they are man and wife.

THE
Let all married pairs learn these following rules :
please and be pleased, bear and forbear, wink
and forgive : a short lesson, but if well got, it will
increase the number of happy pairs, restore great
harmony in families, and man and wife will not
be diftinguiftied by characters quite opposite to the
end of their state. The tokens of finding out a
married couple, as the case stands now, are quite
different from what they were in days of yore :
Abimeleqh found out Isaac and Rebecca to be man
and wife by their exprefiions of foudnefs to one
another. This would prove a sorry token now
a-days, and expose that would go upon it to
manifold blunders. '' ;
Terrihle Gonfequtnto of * young Woman's l r finv
her Virtue.
He that robs a young woman of her virtue,
robs her of her grcateft charm, and robs her
parents and friends of their peace of mind. Who
can deferibe the sorrow of that parent, who has
placed all his happiness in the hopes of a virtuous
child, and lees her defiled, and numbered among
those prostitutes, who are the fliame of their
family ?
To this purpose we have a ftorv, out of Cheva
lier d’Arviena’s travels, of one Abah Rabieth at
Aleppo, whose only daughter having flained the
honor of his family, by a criminal amour, he
killed her with his own hands, and having invited •
all his relations to dine with him, in the midst of
the entertainment, caused her head to beset before
them in a di(h, fwimmiug in its blood !
The whole company was seized with horror at
so dreadful a fight, some fainted, forae quitted the
table, and all were in confufion.
After the firft astonishment was a little over,
Abah Rabieth begg'd they would hear him ; he
related to them the paternal affeCtion he had for his
daughter, the care he had taken of her, and then
her crime > adding, that since he had biv this aCtion,
which wounded him to the very foul, restored to
them, his kindred, as well as to his nation, that
honor which this unhappy girl had loft, he hoped
they would be so kind as to perform the last rites
to a poor victim which he had facrificed for their
fakes : with that a flood of tears burst from his
eyes, and he threw himfelf upon the earth unable
to utter another word.
The relations put the body and the head toge
ther into a coffin, and accompanied the usual
burying-place, with the fame lamentations, and
fame ceremonies, as if the unhappy young creature
had died a natural death. As for Abah Rabieth,
he retired next day into the deserts of Arabia, and
never was heard of at Aleppo more.
