Uiii palpitates at their approach, and, in des

irom the lighted touch of a charmer. Once,
in the abtuid niilapprehenfion of youth, l
thought the character cf a woman cater
worth imitating an.I even attempted to hurl
a feeble lame at the daughters of live.
But lime has taught me the impolicy and
kutenefs of fach a warfare. I have not on
ly mace a truce, but concluded a firm anil
lading peace with the ladies, f pride m.yfelf
that they dill admit an old Batchelor to their
toilets, and that they wiil not refute a drop

1 hus, it may be learned by every voting
man,eager for a plcaiant paflage through life,
that attention to women,honors both the giv
verand the receiver. Nothing is to be gain
ed by rudene^fs to the fex. By complaifance
to them, nrach may be acquirtd. He who is
univerfally decried among women, is rarely
pep dar nj male lociety. Nature intended
the two (exes fhould live in aiaity. Let the
good underftanding continue. if we treat
or^r female fiiends with .ourtefy, and with
tendernefs, if wc liften to their voice with
attention, bow ut their approach, and iigh at

The following article was publifhed fome

‘• When Robert Jewell, (for burglary)

“ lidered them, and the plaiiCbility of the
arguments and allertions lo far overpow

has conuptly participated in the gains of
