ALL true courage is derived from virtue, and honor from in¬ tegrity. If you defire to be magnanim¬ ous, undertake nothing rafliiy, & fear nothing you undertake : fear nothing but infamy; dare any thing but injury. The meafu-e of magnanimity is to be neither rnfh nor timorous ; for magna¬ nimity or true courage, which is an effential character in a foldier, is not a lavage, ferocious violence —not a fool-hardy infenfibility of danger, or head-(bong rafhnefs to fun into it; nor the fury of infla¬ med paffions, br »ke loofe from the government of reafon-----hut a calm, deliberate, rational courage; a fteady. judici- -us, thoughtful for¬ titude ; the courage of a man, and not that of a tiger. Let us appear, nor rajh, nor indifferent, Immoderate valor fwells into a fault ; Slndfear admitted into public councils. Betrays like t reef on. Shun them both. Courage certainly is of no fex, but a faculty of "the foul; and however cuftom may deprefs. or difcourage it in females, it certain- ly belong, ro human nature in ge¬ neral. If men poflefs a more de¬ termined courage in perils, which they foreee, w .men are allowed to be blefled with afuperior pref- en e of mind in fudden dangers ; and, perhaps, the latter is one of the moft djflmguifiimg character- iitics of true courage. Prcfcnce of mhul and courage in di/lrefs, Are more than armies to procure fuccefs. True courage but from opposition grows, But what are fifty, whit a thoufandflaves, Matctid to thefinew of a Jingle arm, That firthes for liberty ? From a French paper. FEMALE DESPERATION; We have had an infhnce of fe¬ male frenzv not to be equalled by either ancient or modern hoftory* Mr. H—. near Rouen, who paid his addreffes to Mifs T—, for a confidence time, fiiddcnly with¬ drew himfelf, and took feveral in¬ decent liberties with the lady's character. A third perfon, ene. mv to both parties counterfeited the gentleman's hand and lent her an obfeene and fcurilous letter* The injured and enraged fair, fully fatisfied that her apoilatc lover was the author, lent for him ; & on his coming, took him into her drefling room, and locked the door " I have feat for you, sir/* faid Miss T. u To punifh your in- folence and cruelty ; the world no doubt will cenfure me, and call my conduct madnefs ; you will be ac¬ quitted ; I (hail be condemned ; but you, fir, have Wantonly rob¬ bed me of my reputation, and I hold life without it infup/>onai>ie." Upon this fhe prefentcd him with the letter, and opening a drawer, took out a brace of piftols, and in¬ fixed on his taking one. In vain Mr. H. prdtefted. his innocence j he fwo e he was an entire Gran¬ ger to the letter till that very mo¬ ment, and wifhed to discover the auf hot* All i his was coriiiderdd as hypocrisy, as cowardice added to the blackeft viiJany- and fhe con* tnued in her refolution ; accord¬ ingly he accepted of a pi (to!, and retired to the oppofite corner, fhc fired and miffed him, and he dis¬ charged his piftol through the ceil¬ ing. He again prdtefted his inno¬ cence. ? Hold'! sir/' faid flie, & immediately produced another brace, and as before infided upon h;s taking one; v was in vain to rehife, and once more they retrea- ted. She fired and (hot him tfafo the elbow, and he aprain dischars;- ed his pistol through the ceiling. •' Now, fir, you are at liberty to retire • I have redeemed my cha¬ racter only in part ; I fcrioufly ad- vife you never to injure th tation of a woman, ibr the !ofs of it muft, if file has any fenfe of fli'tme, be followed with the lofs of life," on which Ihe retired and ihot herfelf. ^Jndcspatr;liccompIai.icJ.he prayed, he threatened, but all m vain; there was ml? one refource, -thatof^oingtoLondontoclaim the interference of the French am- bahVor 5 but to do this he rnUlc part with his fiddles, the infiru- Jnents of his -lory and his rortune.

On his arrival at Dover, acroft the chan¬ nel, he bad the mortification to fee his fiddles seized by the officers of the cuftom. It was in vain he perfifted that they were not ar¬ ticles of commerce but inliru- nients for his own use, and if he meant to make money by them, it was at lead not by their iale. The iifcal agents were deaf ; the fid¬ dle, mull pay duty. To fix the amount, their value muft be efti- mai cd : and Mr. Boucher was de- fired to fet his own value on the fiddles; he fell into the fnarc, and fixed a very moderate price. Then in virtue of cuftom houfe regulations unknown to our trav¬ elling mufician they offered him fifteen per cent, more than the valuation,and dedaredthey would keep the inftrunicnu. Our artifl contain the ccllefted . auditors. They begged the mufician to pais into a large lobby, tp which he willingly affented. There, moun¬ ted on a ftep of the ftaircafe, he performed feveral pieces which charmed even fiscal ear& Anima¬ ted by his fuccef-, the artiit fur- paifed even himfelf, and the en- thufu^m of the audience was at its height, when they heard God save tbeKnigcxecuted with the most brilliant variations.
