FORTHEJ^RR OUQ,
A Short Sermon,
Addressed to all scolding wives and misses.
It it better to dwell in a corner of the boufe top,
than with a brawling woman in amide
prov. xxi.9.
A MOST important truth !— Yet,
far better to dwell in a corner of
the house top, or even in the remotest
)corner of this habitable globe, than
with a brawling, contentious, imper
tinent woman.—King Solomon, the
wisest mao of all Adam's race, a man
who undoubtedly was well acquainted
with the female sex, and a most prop
er judge of human nature, was the
author of our tex'.
What unhappipefs does the best
man living experience, who is united
for life with one of these unhappy
mortals ?—What pity it is that wom
en (the moss lovely part of the crea
tion) should many of them prove fech
• disagreeable companions! When we
visit the dwelling of one of thefty
brawlers, what uneafmefs do we expe
„ rience, till we bid adieu to the gloomy
mention ? where nothing is seen but
wild disorder, nothing heard but tu
multuous clamor? When we pass
the street by one of these doors, how
nimbly do we use our legs, till we are
but of hearing of the confuted uproar ?
A young man, who is in purfuic of a
companion for life, ought ®be ex
ceeding cautious in his choice, and
have his ears open as well as his eyes ;
for after the nuptial ceremony is over,
• then his doom is fixed ; and if he has
chose one of the above description, all
his happiness is at an end, tiir he ar
rives at the peaceful abodes of the fi
fot grave.—l (half conclude with a
Abort exhortation to all misses :
You, my dearfemale citizens, that
are candidates for matrimony, if you
intend to lead happy lives on earth,
arid be accepted in the blifsfol regions
of paradife, let your words be few—
let contention and ftrife be forever
done away—and let love and unity
brighten your countenances—let pe^ce
fy ffi y takep^ o f^
-Hwelling —then your time oh earth
will & pleasant, then you will be a
, comfort to your relations, a joy to
your companions, good members of
society, and have reason to hope for
ahappy immortality in the world th
. come. JUVENIS.

on its march to Miami, had encountered and
defeated a party of Indians, and took forty
prisoners ; that upon the approach of the
army to the fort, lately eroded by a detach

without opposition, leaving 4 pieces of can

of General Wayne. Not having obtained
