It is impoffibie for virtue to fubfift in dependently rebi.don. Idc not mean the theatrical virtue?, which attrsft the pub'ic admiration. By virtue, I underhand the good we do to men, without expectation of re ward on their part, and frequently at the expence of a fortune, nay even of reputation. Analize all thofe whole traits have appeared to you moil finking i there is no one of them but what points out Deity, nearer or more remote. I {hall quote one not generally known, and Angularly interesting from its ob feurity, ‘No the laiT war in Germany, a captain of cavalry was ordered out in a foraging party. —He put him ielf at the head of his troops, and marched to the quarter aligned him. It was a folitary valley, in which hardly any thing but woods could be been, tu the midft of it flood a little cottage ; on perceiv ing it he went up and knocked at the door our comes in ancient Hcrnouten. Father, fays the oili cer, Brew me a place where I can let my troops a foraging. f ‘ pref emiy,” replied the Hernouten.— The good old man walked before and conducted them out of the val ley. After a quarter of an hour’s march, they found a fine field of Farley—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 diilance of a bont a quarter of a league further, they arrived at another field of bar ley. The troops immediately de mounted, cut down the grain, truli ed it up, and remounted. The of Acer upon this fays to his con ductor, Father, you have given yourfelf and us unneceffary trouble, the firit field was much better than this. Very true Sir, replied the good old man, but it was not mine. f his Broke goes directly to the heart, i 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 file had left a box ar fome of the fhops in town, the lid only being left in the cart. She fenc her huf band back to enquire among a few ihops, where ike muft have left it. W Irh an an xious, inquifitive coun tenance, he afked in leveral (lores— “ Nobody don't know nothing about no lex that nobody left here , with no ki ver on ; as nobody knows on ■, does there D’—Thiflle.
