DEVOTION.- A HTMN.
By Mil's Helen Maria Williams.
VV HILST thee 1 seek, protecting Power !
Be my vain wishes Hill'd ;
And may this cooperated hour
With better hopes be fill'd.
Th, love the power of thought bedew'd,
To thee my thoughts would soar ;
Thy mercy o'er my ^e has flow'd;
That mercy I adore.
In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I fee !
Lach billing to my foul more dear,
Because conferr'd by thee.
Ln every joy that crowns my dafs,
In every pain I bear.
My heart fhal! find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in prayed
When gladness wings my favour'd hour.
Thy love my thoughts (hall fill:
Refign'd, when dorms of sorrow lower,
My foul dull meet thy will.
My lifted eye without a tear,
The gathering storm Ihall fee ;
My ftedfafi heart thall know no fear ;
That heart will rest on thee !

'Extra's from Dr. Rush's Enquiry
into the Effies of Spirituous Ly^rs, Uc
NUMBER V.
BuT are there no conditions of the human
body in which spirituous liquors are required ?
Yes there arc ; :ft In those c.>:s where the
body has been exhauded by any catifes, and
faincrefs,or a doppage ir. the circulation of the
blood has been produced, the sudden flimulus
of spirits may be necessary. In thiscafe we
comply ftrialy with the advice of Solomon,
who confines the use of “ freng drink' only to
him " that is ready to perith !" ^d. When the
bod, has beer, long exposed tc wet weather, &
more especially if cold be joined with it, a mo
derate quantity of spirits is not only proper but
highly ufcful to obviate debility, and thus to
prevent a fever. 1 take these to be the only two
cases than can occur,in which fpixituous liquors
are innocent or necessary.
But if we rej?a spirits from being part of
our drinks, what liquors shall we substitute in
the room of them ? For custom, the experience
of all ages and countries, and even nature her
felf, all seem to demand drinks more grateful
and more cordial than simple water.
To this I reply, by recommending in the
room of spirits, in the firft place
Cyder This excellent liquor contains a
small quantity of spirit, but so diluted & blunt
ed, by being combed with an acid and a large
quantity of facharine matter and water, as to be
perfe<°l'y inoffenfiye and wholesome. It disa
grees only with persons fuhjed to the rbeuma
tifm, but it may be rendered inpffenfive to
such people by extin^uXhiog a red hot iron in
it, or by diluting it with water.
2d. Beer, Is a wholesome liquor compared
with spirits. It can always be procured at a
moderate expense. It abounds with nourifh
ment —hence we find many of the common peo
ple in Great Britain, endure hard labor with no
other food than a quart or three pints of tss
liquor, with a few pounds d'bread a day.
Wine is also a wholesome liquor compared
with spirits. It has been remarked, that few
men ever become habitual drunkards upon wine.
It derives'Rs relish principally from company,
and is seldom, like spirituous liquors, drank in
a chimney corner, or in a closet.
MolasseS and Water compose another
excellent substitute tor spirits. 1c is both cor
dial and nourishing.
The Sugar Maple tree affords a thin juice
in the'fummer, which is cooling and, refreshing.
It has been long used in Connecticut for this
purpose in time cl harveQ.
Vinegar and Water sweetened with fa
gar or molasses, is an agreeable drink in warm
weather. I beg leave to recommend this whole
feme liquor to reapers in a particular manner.
It is pieafant and cooling. It promotes perfpi
p.tion, and refills putrefadion. . Vinegar and
water constituted the only drink of the soldiers
of the Roman republic ; and it is well known
that they marched and fought in a warm cli
mate, and beneath a load of arms that weighed
6o lb. Boaz a wealthy farmer in Paleftinx,
we find, treated his reapers with nothing but
bread dipped in vinegar.
Under this head, 1 updid not negle& to re
commend butter mil!: and mater or four mill and
vater. It will be rendered more grateful by
the addition of a little sugar.
Punch is likewise calculated to hfTcn the ef
feds of heat, and hard labour upon the body.
To render this Iquor perfectly innocent and
wholesome, it mud be drank meal, in moderate
Quantities, and only in warm weather.

MELANCHOLY.
ABOUT three weeks since, the house of tie
Rev. Asa Dunham, at Shamokin, (Penn.) took
fire, and was confirmed, .It was at midnight,
and an immediate efcapc *a,neceffary, for the
prefervatma of life. Mrs. Dunham howeto,
immediately re-entered the house, to save, if
possible, an aged mother, who slept in a lower
room. After much exertion in the attempt,
and fncceeding in removing her parent; from
the room where she Ilept, Mrs D. was forced
to abandon it ; the flames having cut eff her
retreat by the door, the referred to one of the
lower windows, where she was extricated from
tb& devouring element, though not until it had
so far affected her lift, as to render its duration
but a few days of siren e=diftrefs. In the up
per story o' the house were two young men,
nephews co Mrs Dunham ; who being awaken
ed by their noct <h r y were urged to attempt
to force off he weather-boarding as tbd opty
way of efcapc : the yeudgeft, soon exhausted in
the attempt and overcame by the heat of the
fire, rolled hinUelf to his fate; his brother
ho^ev r, finally succeeded in forcing his Way
through, by placing a pillow on his bead and
running with great vio ft againfL the wea
ther boarding ; he fell to the grofr^ vet y much
burnt and survived the caraUrophe about the
f|nee of ten days. Os the five perform rlat wge
in lie ho^r when the Ure took place, Mr
Durham is how the oriy.furvivor. A scene of
mote xrr< me dUbels has feMom occurred than
she one he e exhibited. Mrs. Dunham and her
nephew w<re burnt in a manner too Shocking
to relate —In the molt deplorable liruarion,hef
Were compelled so wait a tong time exposed to ,
the cold of the night before any ahiflancc or
relief con'd be precured
