[Article on the extravagances of buying imported goods]
When I consider the women so unaccountably fond of foreign
toys, gewgaws and flimsy stuffs, in a country that has such
a current of north westers a great part of the year, . . .
and upon it ransack the globe, and pick up fiddlers, pipers,
trick players, and rope dancers, for their husbands to
support them.
. . . [3 columns of discussion]
The cynic tutor fruitless lectures reads,
He who girds o'er his precepts best succeeds;
Happy the youth who are betimes set right,
And taught the rules of virtue with delight.
