Some prefcribed one drug, and fame another •, and orie of 

 thenl recoainiended breait-railk. The drugs he fwallowed j 

 but the brea't-mllk he did not much relilh the tho.i2;ht 

 of. Finding himfelf grow rather worfe than better ; and 

 being told that air and exercife was the beft remedy for his 

 complaint, he talked himfelf to walk through the Park, and 

 up Conilitution Hill, every morning before breakfaft. Thi'i 

 did not relieve him ; Jjut from habit rather than hope, he 

 ilill continued his perambulations. One fummer morning, 

 a handforae young woman, very meanly clad, with a child 

 about fix weeks old in her arms, afked his charity. He gave 

 her fome pence, and aiked her how Ihe came into her pre- 

 fent diftrelTed fituation. Her hillory was fnort : She had 

 been a fervant ; fire became partial to a footman in the fame 

 houfe, and married him ; they were both turned away ; the 

 man had no other refource but to enliil : he became a fol- 

 dier ; was fent abroad : fhe had never heard from him 

 fince ; had been delivered of the child now at her breaft, 

 for v,-hofe fupport and her own ihe (hould beg till her infant 

 was a few months older, when (lie fliould try to get fome 



more reputable employment. " Her franknefs," faid 



Zink, " pleafcd me 5 — her face phaje.l me ; — her com- 

 plexion pleafij me ; — I gave her my direction ; flie came to 

 me ; I took her infant into my houfe 5 I did bring myfelf 

 to take her milk •, it recovered me ; I made inquiry after 

 her hulband, and found he was killed in the firll engage- 

 ment he was in, at the pillaging a village in Germany. I 

 married iier ; and a better wite no man ever had." 



With this woman he lived near twenty years. The fol- 

 dler's child he educated for the army, and promlfed to get 

 him a commlffion when he was twenty-one ; but the boy 

 died at fourteen. 



By P.Tonfieur Zink flie had two children, each of them 

 were well pro\ided for ; and one of them was a very few 

 years fince alive, and well fituated In a northern province.
