Q rw But most iq spring; the kindly spring h?pires Xievmng heat, and kindJes genial fires. The author of the Menagiai) a acquaints us, that discoursing one day with several ladies of quality about the effects of the month of May, which infuses a kind of warmth into tha earth, and all it inhabitants; the Marchioness of 8-, who waa cne of the company told hi t2, that tho she would promise to he chaste in every tnmtth besiden, she would not en "gage for herself in May. A the beginning therefore, of this month is very near. 1 design this paper for a caveat to the fair sex, and publish it be fore April is quite out, that if any of them should be caught tripping, they may not pretend they had uot timely notice. I.am induced to this, being persuaded the above mention ed observation is as well calculated for our climate as for that of France, and that aoae of cur British ladies are of the same constitution with the French marchioness. I shall. leave it among phy--aiciatu to determine what may be the cause of euch an anniversary inclination; whether of no it is that the spirits, after having been as it were frozen .end congealed by winter, are 20w tarced loose, arid fie t a

Vanibliiig or, that the gay pros pects of fields and meadows, with the courtship t,f the birds in every bu6h, naturally unbend th mind and sotted it to pleasure; or that, as some have' imagined a woman b prompted by a kind of instinct hotrt erself ou a bed offlowh en wo, and not to let those beautiful couches which nature has provided lie useless. lloweverit be, the effects of this month on the lower part of the sex, who act without disguise, Pre very visible. It is at this time that we sec the young wenches in a country parish dancing round a May-pole, which one of our learned antitjuzries supposes to be a relic of a certain pagan w rsbip that 1 do not think fit to mention. It is likewise cn the first day of this month that we see the ruddy milk tnaid exerting her ce.lf in a most sprightly manne? under a pvramid of silver trail-

!;nle, and like tho "Virgin Tavpeia, oppressed by tho costly ornamanta wMcil her benefactoro lay upon her. I need not mention thccere tnony of the green grown, which is abb peculiar to this gay season. The eatnc psriottical lovc.fit Spreads through the. whole sck, as Mr. Bryden well observes in bis description J this merry month. For thee sweel oon!b, tha groves g;ts iivVIes weai, If not the fir!t, the faicst of th year; For thee tit graces Icod the dantiof Lccm, A nature's ready pencil paint3 the fiow's. The sprightly May coma an J3 our youtii to keep The vigils of her right, aad breaks their sleep; 'Each gentle breast with kbuly warmth she mov'a Inspires new flamee, revives estiegjis'd loves. Accordingly, among tho .svorLr. of the great masters in painting, who have drawn thia genial iea3oii of tho yaar, we often ohscrve Cupids confused with 2ephyrs, flying up and down promiscuously iu several parts of the picture. I cannot but add, from my own experietice, that about this time of the year love-letters coiao uo to me in great number, from all quarters of the uatiou. . I received an epistle in particular by the last post from a Yorkshire gentleman, who makes heavy complaints of cue Belinda, whom it seem he has courted unsuccessfully these three years past. He tells me that he designs to try her this May; and if he does not Carry his point, he will never think of her more. ti Having thus fshly aSmon isbed the female eex, and laid before theca tha dangers they are exposed to iu this critical month, I shall in the nextpkes lay down some rules and directions for the better avoiding these calentures, which are go very ftequentin this season. In the first place, I would adviso them never to venture abroad iu the fields but in the company of a parent, a guardian, or some other sober discreet person. 1 have before shown how apt they are to trip in a flowery meadow, and shall further observe to then, that Proserpine was out n Maying when she met with that fatal adventure to which Milton allude?, when bo Dontibno

TLat fr fieia , Of Euta, airc Froserpine gath'rmg CowVs, Herself a fairer flow'r, by gloomy I) is Wasgather'd Bince I nm going into quotations, I shall conclude this head with Virgil's advice to young people, while they are gathering wild strawberries noiegays, that they should have a care of the 'snake in the grass. In the second place, I cartnot but approve those preserip tion3 which our astrological physicians give in their almanac far this month, such a& are fa sparo and simple diet, with the moderate use of phlebotomy.' Under this head of abstinence, I shall also adviso my fair readers to bo in a particular rhauncr careful how they meddle with romances, choco ls.te, novels, and the like infiamei's, which I look upon as very dangerous to be made use of during this great carnival Of nature. As I have often declared

that I hining ncthing more at heart than the honour cf my dear country-women, I would beg them to consider, whenever their resolutions begin to fail them, that there are but one & thirty days of this soft season; and if they can but weather out thi3 one month, the rest of the year will 6e easy to them. As for that part of the fair sex who stay in town, I would advise them to be particularly cautions bow they give themselves up to their most innocent entertainments. If they cannot for bear the playhouse, I would re commend tragedy to them, rather than comedy; and should think the puppet show much safer far them than the opera, all the whih the sun is in Getiini. The reader will observe, that this paper is written for the use of thoao ladies, who think it worth whale to war against nature in the cause of honour. As for that abandoned crew, who do not think virtue worth contending for, but give up thei." reputation at the first summon, such warning and premonitions are thrown away upou them. A prostitute is the same easy creature in all months of the year, and makes no dhlereuce between Mzy and DecemberX. Spectator. HENRY HURST & R03i:ilT A.
