only a little milk and water given them in cafe they awake. They fhould not be laid on their backs to be fed, but held in a fitting posture, that fwallowing may be eafier to them.-As to any little sourneffes they may fometimes have, nothing is fo good to give them as a little of that fine powder, called magnafia alba, in their food; which will remove all complaints of that kind.

I have been the means of having the above method practifed in many families, and I never knew one child that failed; fo far from it, they all cut their teeth with little or no pain, and escaped those diforders fo incident to children nursed in the common way. It would be happy, indeed, if all mothers would fuckle their children ; as fo many more would be preferved, fince no other woman's milk can be fo good but as this is a thing more to be wifhed than to be expected, we ought therefore to follow that method that has been found by experience to be the best.

fine crimine, fed etiam fine labe, not only without a crime, but alfo without the imputation of one. Whether L- G—S was ever really guilty of any mifbehaviour, or not, I will not take upon me to determine. His country found him guilty; to fuppofe therefore, he was rot, is to impeach the juftice, the honour, the integrity, of many brave, not German, but British officers, who on their oaths after impartially hearing the bett defence he could make, found him fo. The late king, whofe peculiar talent was war, thought him fo; nay thought him fo eminently fo, that he commanded his fentence to be read at the head of his troops in all parts of the world. The judicious, therefore, muft ftill give greater credit to the evidence of his fellow officers, and the fentence of his compatriot judges, both taking on oath, than to the bare allertions or idle queries of a few nameiefs writers, who may be, and who are fufpected of being his creatures.

I mult, therefore, beg leave of thefe writers to fuppofe he was actually guilty of fome misbehaviour, as I cannot conceive fo many worthy officers perjured, or the experienced good old king miltaken. And on this fuppofition I cannot be over much elated at his approaching adminiftration. His abilities may be great, but should he likewite prefer PRIVATE PIQUE, as it is fufpected he did at Minden, to national advantage, they will in fo exalted a ftation enable him to do the greater mischief. And if fuch fhould be the cafe, what have they not to fear, who had honetty enough to bear teftimony against him, or integrity fufficient to find him guilty or how, in any cafe, can they ferve under him in one station, with honour, who was by the voice of his country thought unworthy to command them in another? I would not, therefore, for their own fakes in particular, and for their nation's in general, have a person of fufpected character employed in any place of truft till their cannot be found one to fill it, whofe ability, honour and integrity, have never been impeached. While we have fo many of this character, I cannot help faying of L- G-S in the words of Queen Hecuba,

WOMEN.

Lady BRIDGET, Mrs. Walker; an old,
affected maiden, aunt to lord Belmont,
and a great pretender to literature.
Lady MARY, Miss Macklin; a grave,
well-behaved, fenfible young woman,
filter to lord Belmont.
Lady LOUISA, Mils Wilford; her fifter,
a lively, giddy, romantic girl.
EMILY SOUTHERNE, Mrs. Mattocks;
a modeft, tender, delicate young wo-
man, labouring under an imputation
on her character from feveral untoward
incidents.

HE ftory of the piece is this: EmiTly having of chili-treated by her father (Mr. Southerne) who, among other cruelties, attempted to force her into a marriage with one whom the detefted; but he being fuddenly taken ill, went to Bath, to which place Emily attended him. Hoe the happened to meet with a gentleman (Sir Charles Somerville) with whom at fchool the had contracted an early friendship, which was now grown into a Encere and mutual patlion. He folicited

ment, out-rushed a man; Sir Charles called to him to draw; but their fighting was prevented by Emily throwing herself between them. The family, however, being alarmed, and all coming into the room, Emily fled from the indignation of her father; and running into the street, found the Bath-coach at that inftant fetting out for London, stepped into it, without determining on any thing, except not to return. She took up her firit refidence at an inn in town, and immediately fent. to her friend and relation, Lord Belmont, who being come, the relates to him every caufe and circumftance of her diftrefs; and puts herself under his protection. He brings her to his own house, and deter mines to let her pafs for the daughter of a friend in the country, until he can fome way or other fettle this unhappy affair. While they are in converfation at his lordship's, a meffage is brought that Sir Charles Somerville is come to wait on his lordthip. Emily is inftantly put into the next closet and Sir Charles introduced, who acquaints his lordship with a hasty refolution he has taken of leaving England directly: a deep figh from Emily being heard, Lord Belmont defires Sir Charles to withdraw, and to call again in half an hour. Emily comes forth and conjures his lordship to diffuade Sir Charles from his purpose of travelling again; declaring in the ftrongeft manner, her innocence of the clofet affair at Bath. Emily is introduced to his lordship's two fifters, Lady Mary and Lady Louifa; likewile to his uncle Belmont, and aunt Bridget.

Lord Belmont accomplishes his purpose of perfuading his friend Sir Charles to poftpone his intended journey for a few days. The next scene is between Emily, aunt Bridget, and the Virtuofo, which is highly entertaining. Aunt Bridget is perfectly ridiculous, with her ftiff, itarched, formality and pretentions to learning: as is alfo the Virtuofo, with his nonfenfe about birds, thells, medals, and coins, One of thefe laft he fays he will prefent to
