POLLIDURE and Lorenzo were At
tached friends, in early life, and as
their years advanced the cords ftrengthehed.
Both were blessed with an independent for
tune, and both at a suitable age entered up
on a marriage relation. Lorenzo, was bid
fed with an agreeable family of children ;
which like olive plants, adorned his house
and table. Pollidore had only a little son,
which was berieved of a very tender mother
at the time it began to prattle, play, anddif
cover the charms of a child. In this be
reaved irate, Pollidore hugs the babe with
double affection—lt so fell out, that Lo
renzo at this time, had business of great im
portance, to fettle in a aiftant realm. It was
beyond a wide ocean, a voyage attended
with hardihips and dangers ; and more than
all, the business was of such a nature, as to
require the application of three years for its
accomplishment. Who should Lorenzo
make application to in this strait, but to his
friend Pollidore. The proposal being made
Pllidore replies, that he was never wanting
in ads of xindnefs to his friend Lorenzo ;
But with whom fays he, can I leave the care
of my interest, and above all my little son ;
should mifchief befall him in my absence,
it will bring down my life with sorrow to
the grave. Yoor interest fha|l be my care,
replies Lorenzo, and to your little babe I
will be twice a father i^your absence. Let
God be witness. Upon this Pollidore takes
leave of his friend, kisses the little child
with tears in his eyes and embarks. It was
not long before Lorenzo began to gaze with
an avoricious eye upon the habitation Polli
dore, his fine accommodations, hit gold and
fllver,were what alone could give him fatis
faction. To accompli^ which he enters up
on this expedient; he dispatches a ruffian
to massacre his friend ; in the mean while
calls the child into a private appartment,
who runs to him as toaparent, joyfully leaped
in to his lap, and while smiling in his face,
hethruftafatal knife to his heart. What will
not the cursed thirst of gold do? Whose
foul does not abominate the murderous in
gratitude of the infamous wretch ? But
pause reader beforeyour indignation kindles
to a flame, for thou art the man ! Not a
year past, we were all engaged in collecting
our army ; we hesitated at no encourage
ment, nor any promises that could effe& the
purpose. Our brethren, for ours and
the common good, upon this plighted
faith undertook, at the expence of all those
domeftick comforts which we enjoy at home.
But nJ sooner are they gone than we have
drawn the knife upon them. Does not hea
ven fee ? And shall not the iniquity be a
venged upon our heads ? I speak to an in
lightened part cf the world,judge of what I
fay. But you will reply what can be done?
It is out of my power to alter the current
of the times. Admit this to be the case; it
is not out of your power to give relief. Our
brethren that are fighting tor our all, are
now fuffering every pain that can arise from
the most extreme nakedness.— Shame and
told are the difagretable sensations which
they constantly feel ; their hardships on this
account are almost inexpressible. Let every
society then contribute to their fuffering
condition ; and for dispatch let it be done
upon the Lord's day, that heaven may fee,
and our brethren fee, that we have not be
come perfectly felfifh ; that we have not shut
up all bowels of companion, and become
wholly loft to the common feelings of hu
manity. Let method be immediately
adopted, and in a very short space of
time we can make our army confortablc.
And let ft be a free donation, this will great
ly encourage the hearts of ourfoldiers ; four
aims shall return into your own bofomi,
and the blessing of many ready W pcrifli
mail come upon you.
