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.

[Wives eloped from their hnfbands, - 1362 EHufbands run away from their wives - a.361 [Married pairs in a state of reparation from each other, - - 4120 [Married pairs living in a state of open war, under the fame roof, - - 1^1023 ■Married pairs living in a state of inward hatred for each other, tho’concealed from the world, - - 162320 ■Married pairs living in a state of coldness and indifference for each other, - 510132 Bvlarriedpairs reputed happy in the esteem J \of the world, - - - jica parried pairs comparatively happy, ,135 parried pairs absolutely and entirely happy, - p •farried pairs in England, in all, - 872564 I • 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. • Woman, like glass, is frail and weak, ,cr eof As apt to Hide, as apt to break. public Guard therefore every step with cauli.oW'ty For just as glass is reputation; , , Both broke to pieces at once falling.
