Alter tarrying there 2 Days they proceeded in their Sleigh ro Chamble, 8. Joka’s and l{le au Noix, which they reached in 3 Days more: During this Time the Seafon was moderate for Winter. From Ifle au Noix they travel’d 45 Mile on Lake Champlain in one Day, but the next Morning after going foma Miles, finding the Ice grow wesk, they lfeft their Sleigh, and went afhore with their Horfes and Bag- gage on the Seuth Eaft Side ofthe Lake ; it being bad Travelling in the Woods, it was 5§ Days and as many" Niglits before they arrived at Crown Point. On their Wiy they met an Officer with Dilpatches’ for the Go- vernors of Montreal and Cfiebcc ; with Accounts of the Death of his late Mijelty King Grorge the Second, and of the Acceffion of his pre(:nt Majefty King George the "Third to "the Britith Threne. ' At Crown Point th-y tarriel one Day, and having procured another Sleigh, they proceeded to Ticonderoga, and over Lake George to Fort George : Thence proceeded to Fort Edward, but the Road not being brake they travelled with only their Horfe : From Fort Edward they went in a Sleigh to Albany : From whence they came to Town by Land on Mondiy laft the g°h of February.

Mr. Yeoman Yeuch, Sir, S yours in ovr Paper of the 3oth of Fasuary, in A Anfwer to Mr.Bachellor, demands nothing parti- cularly relating to that reafonable Gentleman ; I look upon it as a Point of Daty, in thofe who have tafted the delightful Friendfhip of the Fair Sex, to appear in Vin- dication of their injur’d Honor. Mankind, however deprav’d, are not sll govern'd by the fame fcandalous Sentiments, fo freely exprefs’d in your unmanly Quota- tion ; which indeed wou'd be {carce worthy of Notice, were it not,that a Number of others with you, expeéted s Reply ; who you declarc to be “ Well meaning pious Youth ..... A Chatsfter, none but the moft abandén’d, can affame in Sport.... I mult therefore, in Charity fup- pofe you fincere,and treat you with the following Candor. I fhall not give myfelf the Tiouble, to animadvert upon all the abufive RefleQions, in your wife Author’s Picce ; nor ferutinize into the gramatical Conft uétion ot his lengthy Periods ; in which be* has very much obfcur’d his Meaning by a Redundency of Words ; but endeavour to pick out his Piinciples, and sn{wer them in as fhost 2 Method as T can. Love,” he fays, ¢ contr:&: sn unlawful Paffion, and fixes it on one OLjc& ; whereas our Fellow Creatures, the Brutes, promijcuoufly ufe every Female of ‘their 1e- {pe&tive Species, without Diftinétion ; from which Priviledge, Man is with held, by the Severity of the Law.”..... I sn{wer....All unlawtul Puffions, ought to be contrs&zd, or sather wholly reftiained ; and it is unrea- fonable to call the Law fevere, for cuibing fuch. vile Propenfities, by giving a loofe to which, we fhould de- ftroy all Decency, Order snd Government; and, accord- ing to his Scheme, expofe the nesreft Ties of Confangui- nity, in common with the reft of the Scx, to our brutith Luft, and unbounded Inclination. Marriage is an laftitution of the SUPREME BEING; who beft knew cur M:ke, and the Necefli.y of confining our lincentious Defires ; the Indulgence of which, is always attended with Remorfe ; and often, with Mif- fery and Difgrace. I grant, the Love founded en no other Bafis, thans pretty Face ; juftly deferves the Title of Madnefs and Folly : Bat where there is a reciprocal AffeQion, arifing from s Knowledge of each others Ver- tpe ;- we, may promife curlelves in Marriage, all the Felicity, that can be expe&ed from Scciety, in this im- perfet State. And if we feck 8 Companion, from any other Motive, it is generally for Want of Principle in outfelves ; and not to be wondered, that we fuffer Ship- wreck on the Rock of‘afipoimmem; snd that our cloyed Appetites, fly"tdTome new Objeét ; in Scurch of that SyistzQicn, which we ftill feek in vain. As to his calling Wedlock a Stite of Slavery, it is falfe; the Truthis, there is nosgreater Slave in Nature, than a Man in the Serviee of Satan ; hunting after Happinefsin the Gratification of his Senfes ;- And [ have often been furprifed, that Ladies of Judgment, and not wanting Peretration in cther matter: 3 fhould with fo little Cau- tion, truft their Liberty and Comfort, in the Hands of {uch a fickle, ungrateful, and inconfiltant Creature. I fhall cloe with :his Advice,to you,& the reft of your pious Acqusiatance ; ..., Whenever .you are tempted, to think lightly of a conjugal Life, read the 19th Chap. of St. Matthew ; where, the greateft Man that ever was, fays, He that made themin the Begining, made them Male and Female : And faid; For this caufe, fpall a Man leave bis Father, and Mother, ard (hall cleave unto bis Wife 5 and they twain fball be one Flefb. Wherefore they are o more twain, but one Flefb. Wbat therefore God hath joined together, let mo Man put afunder ...And inftezd of Mr. OJborn 5 confult that Wife Author St. Paul; and you will find, in his excellent Epiftie to the Hebrews, that Marriage. is bonsurable in all, and the Bed uniefiled; but Whoremongers and Adulterers, God will judge. : I am Sir, Your's, &c.
