Tn a fair, n h, and flourishing country, whose cliffs are washed by the Geririn ocean, lived Sabinus, a youth formed by nature to make a conquest wherever he thonght proper; but the constancy of his disposition fixed him only with Olinda. He was indeed superior to her in fortune, but that defect on her side was so amply supplied by her merit, that none wa's thought more worthy of his reuard than she. He loved her, he was beloved by her; . . 1 ume y J-l,g nands j publicly, they avowed the union of their hearts. But alas! none, however fortunate, however happy, are ex-mpt from the shafts of envy, and the malignant effects of ungovernable appetite. How unsafe, how detestable are thev who have this fury for their guide! How certainly will it lead them from themselves, and pluge them in errors they woul J have shuddered at, even in apprehension! Ariana, a lady of many amiable qualities, very nearly allied to Sabfiios, and highly esteemed by him, imagined herself slighted, and injur

lously trcilcd, since his marriage with Oiincla. By incauiionsly sufVering t-.is jealousy to corrode in her breast, she beijan to give loo-e to paion; she forgot those many virtues, fur which she had been $o long and ?o justly applauded. Causeless suspicion and mistaken resentment betrayed her into all the gloom of discontent; she sighed without ceasing; the happiness of others gave her intolerable pain she thought of nothing but revenge. How unlike what she was when the cheerful, the prudent, the compassionate Ariana? She continually labored to disturb a

union so firmly, so affectionately founded, and planned every scneme which she thought most likely to disturb it. Fortune seemed willing to promote her unjust intentions; the circumstances of Sabinus had been long embarrassed bv a tedious law-suit, and the c urt determining the cause unexpectedly in favor of his opponent, it sunk ins fortune to the lowest pitch of penury from the highest affluence. Fro;n the nearness of relationship, he expected from Ariana those assistances his present situation required, but she was insensible to all his entreaties, and the justice of every remonstrance, unless he first separated from Olinda, whom she regarded with detestation. Upon a compliance with her desires in this respect, she promised that her fortune, her interest, and her all, shoul i be at his command. Sabinus was shocked at the proposal; he loved his wife with inexpressible tenderness, and refused those, offers with indignation, which were to be purchased at so high a price. Ariana was no less displeased to find her offers rejected, and gave a loose to all that warmth, which she had so lonrj endeavored to suppress. . Uepronco generally produce recnminaucm ; uie trie quanei rose to sticn a neignr, mat Sabinus was marked for destruction; & the very nest day, upon the strength of an old family debt, ha was sent to jail, with none but Olinda to comfort him in his miseries. In this mansion of distress they lived together with resignation and even with comlort. She. provided the frugal meal and he read to her while employed in the little offices of domestic concern. Their fellow prisoners admired their contentment, and whenever they had a desire of rel iing into mirth, and enjoying those little comforts that a prison affords, Sabinus and Olinda were sure to be of the party. Instead of reproaching, e tch bore a share of the load imposed by providence. Whenever S tbinus showed the least concern on his dear partner's account, she conjured him by the love he bore her, by those tender ties which now united them forever, not to discompose himself; that so long as bis afivction lasted, she defied all the ills of fortune, and every j loss of famt and friendship; that nothing could make her miserable but his seeming to want happiness, nothing pleased but his sympathising with her pleasure. A continuance in prison soon robbed them of the little they had left, and famine began to make its horrid appearance ; yet still was neither found to murmur; they both looked upon their lit'le boy, w ho, insensible of their or his own distress, was playing about the room, with inexpressible yet silent anguish, when a messenger came to inform them that Ariana was dead, and that her will, in favor of a very distant relation, who was now in another country, might be procured and burnt, in which rase all her large fortune would revert to him as being her next heir. A proposal of so bae a nature filled our ii'ihappy couple with horrcr; they ordered' the messenger immediately out of the room; and filling upon eacli other's neck, indulged an agony of sor row; for now even all hopes of relief wer banished. The messenr who made the proposal, however, was only a spy pent by Ariana to round the disposition of a man she loved at once and persecuted. This lady, thoauh warped bv wrong passions was naturally kind, judicious, and friendly. She found that all her attempts to shake the constancy or integrity of Sabinus were ineffectual: she had therefore began to reflect, and to wonder how she could so long&so unprovokedly injure such uncommon fortitude and affection. She had from the next room herself heard the reception given to the messenger, and could not aToid feeling ali the force of superior virtue; she therefore re-assumed her former goodness of heart; she came into the room with tears in her eves, and arirnnwlndrrprl Mhe severity of her former treatment. w , c She bestowed her first care in providing them all the necessary supplies, and acknowledged them as the most deserving heirs of her fortune. From this moment Sabinus enjoyed an uninterrupted happiness with "Olinda, and both were happy in the friendship and ttssistance of Ariana, who, dying goon after, left them in possession of alae estate, am) in her last moments confessed that virtue was the only path to true dory; and that, howe.v Or ?nr:Acence may for a time be depressed a! cf iJ 'i rl tr .

Quite otherwise with me, who on this auspicious day have done the only wi?e thing 1 ever dil, viz: taken unto msfdf a wife. Aher the ceremony, the happy couple (Mrs. Snacks and myseli) set otf in a chaise and four, for Ramsgate. Journey delightful how could it be otherwise? Thought I never saw my Amanda look so divine. Canova's Vt'hus seems modelled from her the aine deep languishing eye the same deep clustering- ringlets; the same snowy voluptuous bosom, the same O , what a very lucky dog I am! ! Tuesday 2 I. Evening, overwhelm nd by the tumult of my thought?. Felt quite young again (oy the by e I am only forty-nine after all,) and indicted the following letier to my friend Tomkins, of ihe Temple: "Dear Tom, burn your books and marry marry immediately mv old boy, nothing like matrimony it ia paradise iiself, pure, gen. uioe an-l uns pbistirated " R.ad mj note to Amanda, imprinted on her soil che k a nusband's tenderest kiss, and then s tl down to a hot supper. Wednesday 31. Indulged in a pensive tidl along the sea shore,filled with conr uhi.il ecstai y. Thought of Thoros t xrelb nt lines on domestic bliss. "OH happy they, etc." I ned scarcely Tdd that rh) Amanda accompanied me in this ramble wiih her ringlet waving lik gossamer to the wind, and a smile of ihe most bewitching softness illuminatie.g her celestial countenance.

i .t i2 ls a0 rn tic bliss ! St.idv h its Udvantaes but compared with the ecs lacies of Hymen it is nothing, absolutely nothing. Middletcn and Md'on, F remember, both speak wiih enthusiasm of wedded love." Gibbon frequently alludeg to it 4the most tender of human connections," says that "there is no happiness without it f and all anihors who are good for anv thing are loud in its praise. Bv the Roman law, however, a wife was expressly called "a thin' a part of the domestic furni ture, which might be sold bv her husband, so ihat on making a catalogue of bis goor?, he might thus enumerate them. Lot 1st, four sofas, two tables, thre pillow-casSjOfie wash-tub, a wife and abed candlestick. Only conceive a wife, mv Amanra for instance, placed ide by side with a wash-tub! F'idav 5th. Of all j kes, the most b-oirdare those launched against women, and wives in particular. For thin reason I am resolved, should my darlieo Amanda ever blees me with children, to prevent them learning the Eaton Liiin Grammar, from its observing in one of the rules of Syntax that "the rmruliop gender is more worthy than the feminine,' 'etc. M nsir us violation both of Grammar and gratitude! Sunday Mh. Continued rain. What i bore is a vet Sunday in the country. Amanda, by the bye, said pleasantly enough, that tvet weather might at least be expected in a watering place. Attended morning church, and inquired of a fat clerk whether there was any evening service. Lunched by way of amusement. Looked out of the window and busied myself in counting the cave's drops. Thought of my bouka in Lincoln's Inn. Untied my shoe string?, in order to tie them again. Picked my breeches to pieces, for one mast do some thing. - Mem. It seems a long time to dinner. Monday.! 5? h. Drove over to Margate. Amanda dressed in the extreme if fashion, and lull, as usual, of vivacity. Walked togeiher on the fort. Met one Captain Dermont O'Djrothy, and a long irishman of Bally shannon, aud a former suiter of my wife (till he found ehe had nothing.) Formally introduced to him, &. shaken on the spot by a hand as hard as a deal board. Mpm. Amanda seems much taken with him but this of course, for the fellow is full of talk and compliment, and stands six feet high, by about three broad. Can't say 1 like his looks. Tuesday lGlh. Received a visit from the long Irishman. Offered Amanda and myself tickets lor the Mar-gat-Assembly. Kicked them uuder the table H9 a hint to decline them. No use, one might as well kick a post. Fellow staid a full hour, duiing which Mrs. S imuel Snavks never cea?ed talkA -ft. t . . ing. A pen, silly gighng but what can you expect from a woman? And yet notwithstanding this, Solomon, in his proverbs, has the assurance to say, whopo findeth a wife, tindeth a good thing." Can't say 1 think so. Wednesday 17th. Had a tiff with Mrs. S. Snacks about the long Irishman. In return she called me je.ahtus, shows how little she knows ol human nature. How can I be jenlous of such an uncouth, raw-boned, Oijointcd jacknnaps? Called him so before her face and got nick-named an " old frump,'' iu reply.

Mem. That!d all one gels for one's good nature, old frump, indeed! Think of that now. 1 should not mind her calling me a frump, but old! besides 'lis no such thing, I shall not be fifty till Mechaelmas day. Went to bed in a rage, and dreaaied of the long Irishman. Thursday lSih. Walked out before, breakfast, and met the long Irishman. I detest swearing but blast him what doea he mean by it? Dined at three o'clock, and helped twice to cheese by way of something to do. Went half price to the Theatre, and at the corner of the stage-b x bobbed against the long Irishman. Mrs. Samuel Snacks, smiled on him. 1 think ai least 6he did by Gosh, she did. Conceive wtut ajacK-assI must have looked ! Friday 19 h. Felt exceedingly atvkard about the temples; and dreamed that Mr?. Samuel S. at lis, like Diana, had turned me into a stag. Received three letters of congratulation on my marriage. Lounged at Lidafs library and met on my return, the long Irishmai in earnest conversation with Mis. S. Snacks. How could Mrs. Samuel Snacks imagme it was possible to be jealous of su h a wrelc.i? H id a qiairel with her about, (not that 1 thi k nian worthy quarrelling about) and rushed in a rage lo the theatre. M- m. I Jorgot to menticm that Mrs. Samuel Saarks went with me. S tu day -20th. A oiher quarrel. Astonishing, Mr?. Samuel Snacks canl keep her temper. Threatened to fl ng the best blue sugar rasin at my head. What a vixei,! hut it's no use. I see

; clearly hrw k is. lama wretcti for life. Received a letter of condolence from Tomkina. R -plied, by return, as follows: uDaar Tern, it you have noi already married, avoid it like the devil hanging is a mere joke to it." Tlie choice of a Wife- The whole secret ol choosing well in matrimony may be taught in three words explore the character. A violent love fit is always the result of ignorance; for there is not a daughter of Eve that has merit sufficient to justify romantic love, tho' thousand3 and thousands may reasonably inspire that gentle csteeia which h infinitely better. A woman vorehipper and a woman hater both derive their mistake from ignorance of the female world; for if the character of women were thoroughly understood, they would be found too good to be hated; and yet not good enough to be idolized. Highwayman and Sailor, One of the Dver Srge?, on its way to London, was stopped by a single highwayman who was informed by the coachman that (here were no in?ide passengers, and only one in the basket, and he was a Railor. The robber then proceeded to exercise his employment on the tar, when waking him up out cl his sleep, Jack demanded what he wanted, to which the son of thunder replied, 'Your money "You shant have it," said Jack. "No?" replied the robber, "then I'll blow your brain? out."
