I DID myself the honour this day to make a visit to a lady of quality, who is one of those that are ever railing at the vices of the age; but mean only one vice, because it is the only vice they are not guilty of. She went so far as to fall foul on a young woman who has had imputations; but whether they were just or not, no one knows but berself. How ever that is, she is in her present behavjour modest, humble, pious, and discreet. I thought it became me to bring this censorious lady to reason, and let her see she was a much more vitious woman than the person she spoke of. Madam,” said I, “ you are very severe to this poor young woman, for a trespass which I believe Heaven has forgiven her, and for which, you see, she is for ever out of countenance." Nay, Mr. . Bickerstaff," she interrupted, “ if you at this time of day contradict people of virtue, and stand up for ill women"- “ No, no, Madam,” said I, 30 fast; she is reclaimed, and I fear you never will VOL.
