St. P er;?, in his celebrated work, the Studies of Nature, thus introdu ces the following r.uecdotq. It is impodbie for virtue to fubfift in dependently of religion. Ido not mean the theatrical virtues, which attrad the pubhc admiration. By virtue, I underftand the good we do to men, without expedition of re ward on their part, and frequently at the expence of a fortune, nay even of reputation. Analize all thole whole traits have appeared to you moil (hiking i there is no one of them but what points out Deity, nearer or more remote. I lliall quote one not generally known, and Angularly interesting from its ob feurity, tr la the lad war in Germany, a captain of cavalry was ordered out in a foraging party. —He puthim felfatthe head of his troops, and marched to the quarter afligned him. It was a folitary valley, in which hardly any thing but woods could be been. !u the midft of it flood a little cottage ; on perceiv ing it he went up arid knocked at the door ; out comes an ancient Hernouten. Father, fays the offi cer, fhew me a place where I can fet my troops a foraging. cc Pref entiy,” replied the Hernouten.-- Tlie good old man walked before aud conduced them out of the val ley. After a quarter of an hour's march, they found a fine field of Barley—there is the very thing we want, fays the captain. Have pa tience for a few minuses, replies his guide, you fhall be fatisfied. They went on, and at the diftance of a bout a quarter of a league further, they arrived at another field of bar ley.

The officer upon this fays to his con ductor, Father, you have given yourfelf and us unneceffary trouble, the firft field was much better than this. Very true Sir, replied the good old man, but it was not mine. This [brokegoes diredtly to the heart. 1 defy any atheift to produce me any thing to be compared with it. If two negatives make an affirm ative, what will half a dozen nega tives make ? A market woman going over Roxbury neck, obferv ed /lie had left a box at feme of the fhops in town, the lid only being left in the cart. She fent her huf band back to enquire among a few fhops, where fhe muft have left it.
