COURTSHIP.
MO man ought to make his
pretenfions to a lady, till he is
fully convinced her peifon, her
temper, and her fortune are
pe rfcflly agreeable co his circum
flances, and way of thinking ;
for, without fuch previous know
ledge, he undertakes, at random,
the mod important affair of life
and then, no wonder, if he in
volve himfclf in difficulties and
imeaiinefs.
Love, whatever fome may
think of it, is not a pafflon to
be fported with j nor is the af
fection of a lady to be attempt
ed, till a man is aflured his own
is fixed on a lading principle.
All imaginable caution is advifa
ble and neceffary before hand :
but, after his profeffions of re
gard, liis fervices, and folicica
tions have won the heart and
made him dear to her, rcafon,
honor, and juftice, all oblige
him to make good his engage
ments, and be careful of her
peace. Then there is no retreat
- ng , nor can any thing, but her
iofs of virtue, juftify his leaving
her.
And whether he has promlfed
her marriage, or not, makes very
jittiC difference ; for, lurely if
he has courted her affections,
and gained them, upon the rea
fonablc luppofition that he in
tended making her his wife, the
contraCl is, in the fight of Hea
ven, of equal force. He who
bafely impofes on the honed
heart of an unfufpeding girl,
and, after winning her afftClions
and eftcem, by the prevailing
rhetoric of courtlkip, can' un
generoufly leave her to forrow
and complaining, is more deceit
able chan a common robber ; in
the fen e yirpcrticn ?s private
machery is more villainous than
open force, and money of lefs
concern than happinefs.
MORAI IST.
The Comforts of Riligion.
When the fury of the flcrm
increafcs to its utmoft height—
when the thunder rolls over die
heads of affrighted mortals, and
when the earth trembles to the
very poles, the virtuous mind is
not affailed by fears, or even
doubts for dorms are to it but
as zephyrs, or, ifpoffible, more
gentle gales : and when the la
boring breath is obftruCled by
difeafe ; when the heart fickens,
and death is in each gale ; even
in that awful moment, religion
fhall fudain the jud ; it fhall
grace their lad moments, nor
will it defect them, even in the
grave.
MORAL*
After all the happinefs afford
ed by external objects, after ail
the enjoyment of focicty, man’s
true, fubflantial felicity mud be
fought for in his own bread.
Things around us are often
delufive, and not to be depend
ed upon : But if wc place our
happinefs in the approbation of
our own conference, we fhall
not be deceived. An honed,
felf-approving heart, fortified
by religion, is proof againd the
attacks of external misfortune.
When hard beats the dorm of
adverfity, and affliction’s black
wing is expanded, the foul then
retires into its own cadle—fficl
ters itfelf in its own integrity—
religioufiy hopes in heaven for
alfidance, and ferenely frmlesat
the bufferings of the temped.
