VULGAR LANGUAGE
\A proof oj low breeding.
limn ode ft words admit but
this defence, !
Cl That want of inodefty is want
offenfe.”
That the language which peo
ple make ulc ofin their conver
sation, is a criterion by which
we may form an accurate judg- |
inent of their minds, is a truth
mat cannot be controverted.
From the abundance (f the heart
the mouth heaketb. The cduca-
J Ji
tion they have received, the
company they have kept, may
be cafily determined from it.
As man is an imitative being,
his manners, habits and language,
J kJ O'
are formed from thofe with
whom he is moft converfant. If
we fee aperfon vulgar and inde
cent in his language, no ftrong
<er proof than this can be adduc
ed of his having been familiar
with the profligate. Whatever
airs of polltcnels or refinement
of manners he may aflame, if
his language does not corrcfpond
therewith, the veil is eaftly feen
through, and the vulgar heart
Hands confciftd. No token can
be given more ftrong, that a
perfon has been low bred, than
filling every fentence of his con
verfation with indecent and pro
fane expreffions; and Nothing
can be more difgufting to one,
whole cars have been accuftom
ed to pure and decent language.
Eut, where it appears ftill
morh difgufting, is, when it
comes from the females, that
beautiful part of the creation,
the pride and boaft of man; who
•—formed by nature to be ad
mired, and to difFufe happincf*
and pleafure amongft mankind,
are, in confequence of the fupe
rior refinement of their natures,
emphatically ftyled thb Fair, I
lay, when they lay alkie the
foftnefs and delicacy of their fex,
which juftly excites the Jove and
admiration of ours ; when they
divell themfelves of that dignity
of manners, fo facinatlng to the
of fenftbility, and ftoop to
1 lift vulgarity of a nCedlels oath, <
fill eveiy ft ntence of their con
versation with profane oprefli
ens, and, on the moft trifling oc
casion make life of tht Irevc
j renrial name of their maker j
how difrcfpedlful do they an
pcari admiration is then con
verted into contempt i andthtife
captivating properties of their I
nature lofe their power of; leaf- •
ing, and appear as a deceitful
veil to cover a mind deft irate of j
that delicacy which is the great- |
eft ornament of the fex, and j
which has the power of irrififta- !
bly exciting emotions of ex
quifite pleafure in thofe who
behold it.
Profanity in either fex juftly
merits coptcmpt; but in the
Fair, our language wants a word
to exprefs its bafenefs. It is
degrading beyond expreflion.

WONDERFUL WORKS OF PRO
VIDENCE.
A Angularnon-defeript animal
has, within a few weeks, fcveral
times made its appearance near
Northumberland town, in this
flare, which has been the fubjeft
of much fpeculative enquiry in
thefc parts. The extraordinary
formation of this wonderful crea
ture, as repreferned by a nmn
| her of refpcctabie inhabitants of
that place, v, ho have feen it, is
certainly aftonifliing to every
one, particularly fo to thofe ac
quainted with natural hiftory,
and furniflics the mind with a
variety of conjectures, feme of
which, perhaps, not very favo
rable to the human fpccics.-—lt j
is laid to be about 5 feet in j
height, and moves ereCE; it has |
a more perfect human face than |
any other animal of the brute |
creation hither to fpokenof. The
head is crowded with hair, which
falls regular over the forehead,
near to the eye brows; its neck
and breaft are bare, but down
wards is covered entirely with a
reddifh caft. Its arms and hands
appear perfectly like thofe of a
man, excepting nails, which are
fimilar to claws of beads; bur
the feet appear perfcCt. It has
a very long tail, Vvhich it winds
round its body when running.
An attempt was made to catch
it a fhort time fince, by three
gentlemen on horfeback, one of
which was near enough to ftrike
it with his whip, but taking
down a fteep hill, the gentlemen
were obliged to alight to purfue
it, when it made its efcape. We
hear a thoufand dollars is offer
ed for this animal alive.
A curious anecdote is related
of the Prince ofHeffe. Having
flopped at an inn, the fign of
which was the Grey Afs y the
landlord folicitcd and.obtained
the honor of putting the vifage
| of his high neb in the room of the
afs. A rival inn-keeper, feeing
i the celebrated fign of the Grey
Afs removed, bethought himfelf
of adopting it, which had the
effect to bring him all the other
inn-keeper’s cuftomers. The
latter, finding He had done a very
fooiifh thing, law no remedy for
the matter, but writing over the
head of the prince-—77a/V Is .he
