We hear from Plastow, that last week was married there, by
the Rev. Mr. Brown, of this town, the Rev. Moses Badger, of
Haverhill, in the Province of the Massachusetts-Bay,
itinerant missionary for the Province of New-Hampshire, to
Miss Mary Saltonstall, of Boston; a young lady of a
respectable family, and of real worth; which with the known
fidelity, integrity, honor and piety of the gentleman, yield
their friends the most sanguine hopes, that the alliance
will be fortunate, the match happy!----
  -------------Wealth is a great
  Provocative to am'rous heat;
  It is a philters and high diet,
  That makes love rampant, and to fly out;
  'Tis beauty always in the flower,
  That buds and blossoms at fourscore,
  'Tis virtue, wit, and words and all,
  That men divine and sacred call:
  For what is worth in any thing,
  But so much money as 'twill bring;
  Or what but riches is there known,
  Which man can safely call his own.
