An. !juftly proud beyond a Poet's praise ;
If the pure confines of thy tranquil breath
Contain, indeed, the fu'j-A of thy lays /
By me how envied ! —lor to me.
The herald itul of mdery,
Memory makes her influence known
By fi/fc, and tears, and grief alone ;
I greet her as the fiend, to whom belong
The vulture's ravening beak, the raven's funeral
song.
Alone, at midnight's haunted hour,
When Nairne wooes re]ofe in vin,
Remembrance wades her penal pow r,
The tyrant ofthe burning brain !
Sue tells of time iwfpent, of comfort loft,
Oi fair occafictfc gone forever by ;
Os hopes too fondly hurfed, too rudely crofs'd,
Os many a cause to with, yet fear to T+ ;
Fur what, except the inttindhve fear

When' all the life of life" is fled ? —

And realize rhe hell th¥priefts and beldam

J low can we ivrtgine it putable, that the
Author of Nature should fa niffi us with capa
cities fr r difeuvering his exigence and attributes,
and our dependence upon him 4 with views of
another slate, and powers to contemplate the
Jaws of many other orbs than this.we inhabit :
to roam through the boundkfs regions of space,
with a mind that is never fat sited with less than
infinite, if it is to be extinguished by death ?
No ! if we had not been designed for another
ftatc.the dpureheufiou and influences of it would
never h?ve been necUTary to the good govern
ment of men ; eternity would never have been
an ohjedi either of our hopes, or fears,* If our
existence were to finifh with this world, we
might, like other animals, perform all the offices
of supporting ourfelvcs, and continuing out spe
cies, without any view or expectations of ano
ther. It cannot be thought poLble to recon
cile the creation and condition of man,with the
acknowledged attributes of God without the
consideration and allowance of a future slate,

Extracts from Dr. Rush's Enquiry
into tie Effects of Spirituous L\uor„ &V.
NUMBER IV.
I [Continued]
T —°—
I N the use of spirits, there are certain pregref
five stages which deserve to be mentioned.
Men begin generally by drinking them in a
diluted Bate, at dinner only. They next drink
them in the fame state in the afternoon and
rtening. In the course ofa few years,hey call
for them in the forenoon, and soon afterwards
before breakfaff, cDcreafing their strength from
time to time until they finally drink them in
an undiluted date during every hour of the
night.< I have known fcveral persons who have
puffed through all the above ftiges of intempe
rance, in whom the pulls of life seemed to be
Supported for fevercl months before their death,
only by drinking from one to two quarts of
raw spirits every night.
I shall how proceed to combat some preju
dices in favor of the use of spirituous liquors.
The three occafohs in which spirits have been
thought most necessary and ufeful are the follow
ing : iff. In very cold weather,ad. In very warm
weather, 3d In times of hard labor,
Ift. There cannot be a greater error than to
suppose that spirituous liquors lessen the effects
of cold upon the body. On the contrary, I
maintain that they always render the body
more liable to be affeded and injured by cold.
The temporary warmth they produce,is always
Succeeded by chiihuefs. If any thing, beside
warm clothing and 1 exercise, be necessary to
warm the bod, in cold weather, a plentiful
meal of wholesome food is at all times fufficient
for that purpose. This by Simulating the
stomach, invigorates the whole system, and
thus renders it lels sensible of the cold. .^
2d. V is equally abiurd to suppose that spiri
tuous liquors lessen the efftas of beat upon the
body. So far from it, they rather cncrcale them.
They add an internal, heat to the external heat
of the fun, they dispose to fevers and incarna
tions of the moll dangerous kind ; they produce
preternatural tweats which weaken, instead of
an uniform and gentle perspiration, which ex
hilarates the body. Half the diseases which
arc said to be produced by warm weather, I am
persuaded are produced by the spirits which
are swallowed to lessen its effeas upon the fyf
:cr"',
3 1. I maintain with equal confidence, that
spirituous liquors do not IcfTen the effedsof
hard labor upon the body. Look at the horse,
with every muscle of his kody fwelted from
morning till night in the plough or the team,
does he make 'ogns for spirits ,0 enable him
to clear the earth, 01 to climb a hill ? No. He
requires nothing but cool water and lubftantial
food. There is neither strength hor nourifr
rocot in fpititous liquors. Ii they produce vi
gour in labour, it i° °f 3 transient nature, and is
always fueled by a sense of wc^knefs and
fat^ue. Tfefe Lets are founded in obfervA
rion ; for I have repeatedly seen those men pcr
for.o the gre^ft rxpbi^ju work both as to
their degrees and duration, who never tasted
spirituous liquors.

" Every tree is knoven by its fruit."
noHIS 5 what Booty's mother has
L brought to bear —or hiftory of one
woman [or fruit] deluded by her mo
ther [alias tree.]
In space of 2 years and 4 months, X
have been married [alias grafted] tothis
woman, and in this space, I fay, die has
eloped eleven times from my house and
bed. I often came to a resolution to
have nothing to do with her, but on ac
count of my child I have repeatedly for-•
given her. But four things I cannot for
give her, viz—
First. —When I am at Boston on bust-v
nefs flie receives money, clothes and letter
weekly—and beds and boards with ano
ther man.
Secondly —When the do&or attends the
child when sick, as soon as his back is §
turned she gives her child a glass of rum'
toft it asleep—and goes to walk with a
nother man. A.
Thirdly—Qn the 18th March as I was
at my work, flie went off with her com
pany-keeper, which I provided to wait
on her—with him, did 1 fay, aye and with
these two went — all my money! ! ! some
of my clothes! ! and ftript the child's
clothes, and left is in the cradle weeping !
Fourthly and luffy— She began to take
her neighbor' )goods, without leave—foe
which I have been celled on to pay for.
Her company-keeper lays her mother
pirfuaded her to go with her (a precious
p ir) to Newbury, Salem or Boston where
file will not beknowri. After they were
flayed, some cf the chilo'sthings were
found underneath the mother's bed.
Now her mother [or this tree which
has been so great a poison to my well-be
ing, that is, in poifohing the mind of this
twig of hers, which I had engrafted for
my own particular ufe] fays lhe is too
handsome, too delicate to work for me-
Now the good people who read this my
advertisement, rruft tliink I am a plain
spoken man.—l have given here a fketc h
of the most feeling and forcible traits of
her conduct. If they appear delicate and
handsome, I pray that I may never again
be polEffor of so much delicacy of beauty,
being as how I would sooner have my
ears tied to a pair of seven pound creak
ing hinges,than be fubjed to such a flood
of beauty and delicacy, mingled togeth
er, and. which is really too much for my
nerves to bear.
Her mother lays file can get one to put
a piece in print, and all her condud will
be overlooked—let her try.—l forbid all
Perlons from trusting, harbouring and
entertaining her on my account, or for
me, as I am determined to pay no affairs
of hers after dale. D. BARTLETT.
