The MEDLEY—No. 159.
From t^e FTortbern Centinel.
T1 is fdid, that a newly instituted Free Maloa
I lodge, in this vicinity, confided of nine
Bachelors and feventeln married men, —At their
feftival, about twelve months afterwards, it
was discovered that eight bachelors of the craft
was married, and that the feVenteen married
brethren had every one a son born, within the
year— and the grand master had twins.
If this be true, no wonder that the v<omcn
are so irpifitivetokn^heir great Secrets.
A gentleman in company with Mr. Rogers,
said to him, I esteem you, and love your com
pan, very well, but you are foprecife :—o Sir,
replied mr. Rogers*, I serve apruife God.
The opulent and the gay hear dhe cries of
misery around them with the fame indifference
that one hears the tempest grumble when fhel
tfed from its fury.
It was a beautiful flower, It was committed
th my care ; I watched over it with the ten
derest affection ; but I loved it, perhaps too
well, and it was taken from me in mercy.—
This is nothing, certainly, to the 'reader ; but
the question which involves the moral, is of
some import ; has not the Christian decidedly
the advantage over the infidel, all things con
sidered, even bcre?
GOOD R ULES:
IT)E temperate in your diet.
JD 2. Rife with the fun ; if you want more
sleep go to bed sooner.
3. Never play cards, for it is time mifpent,
and therefore affrontive to the Almighty.
4. Be constant in frienjlhip ; and have your
friends well chosen auTfew.
5. Be very considerate in doing those things
which can be done but once.
6. When much pleased or much displeased,
be cautious, left predjudice make work for re
pentance ; inboth cases there is danger.
7. Expose nobody's foibles,unlcfs somebody's
fafety requires it.
8. Be a Ready, honest, iuduftrious, gener
ous man, and my word for it you will thrive.
9. Begin the buflnefs of each day with pfaife
to your preserver, and implore his blessing.
10. Go to meeting ; you will then be in the
way of your duty.
XI. Keep your children at school, or at work,
or at play ; never let them become habituated
to idleness, which is'the root of the mind.
12. Keep your children from all extrava
gances; but when your daughters are grown
ip, indulge them in having some fafhionable
things; and when you fend your son on an er
rand, let him wear bis bed clothes if he will ;
it is well for young people to be fluxions to re
commend themselves; by such indulgence they
will be enough more cheerful and diligent in
their business, to make up for the additional
expenses; but remember when you was young
and charge them to be home in good season.
13. I would also advise you to take the
newspapers, and carefully peruse and preserve
every paper ; this is a valuable source and
channel of information—the price is trifling—
and it will presently make you a man of know
ledge and information.
14. Avoid bad company ; be Ready ; bring
up your children well ;' be a good citizen ;
love your minister; love your country ;be
afeful to mankind ; remember you must die ;
and believe me, pure religion will never do you
.fry harm.
THE MORALIST—No. 371.
TO aufwer such flimfy attack as infidels make
upon the Christian faith,by a regular train of
argument, would be to pay an extravagant com
pliment to the vanity and arrogance cf human
, folly ; a date writer has done it better in the
beautiful Rory of LAROCHE ; and, perhaps
the following fragment will be found calculated
to have a fimi!ar efcft.,
ALAS MY JANE!
" He was delighted wish the work of his
own hands, he saw it beautiful. He made it
good, and took it to himfelf."
IHad a daughter fwcetly fair,
With hazle eye, and auburn hair ;
A dimple too, in either check,
And cherry lips ; she could not fpcak
She was so youn,; yet she could look
Her meaning just as if she'd spoke.
Oft in her eyes I used to gaze,
Delighted with her infant ways, ~
And play'd and look'd, and play d again ;
So watchful never to give pain,,
That flic was pleas'd and seldom cry'd.
Except when something was deny'd,
Which sterner duty ordered so,
And this forfooth, would cause her woe;
But then it went so soon away
That we did little else but play:
She just could run : 1 think! fee
Her infant form approaching me,
A bunch of flowers in either hand,
Like little sylph from fairy land ;
She rooted was within my heart,
So that I thought 1 could not part
From little Jane, I lov'd her so-,
But yet a journey I mutt go,
And leave my little girl behind ,
To nurfe'scare ; it griev'd my mind,
For I had fears, forboding fears,
Which forc'd away the silver tears.
And made me tremble ; yes, and Igh,
Though I could give no reason why.
Oh ! ye who know a parent's cares,
Whose every with some darling shares,
Though absent long and far away,
you cling to that auspicious day
When you again shall eager kill
The sweet controuler of your bliss.
And so did I ; the day was come
And 1 had fondly journey'd home,
Alas my JANE ! ihe was not dead,
She dill could lift her sickly head ;
She still could ferule ; and still would try
To run because papa was nigh;
And when (he could not seem d to fay,
Papa be cheerful; perhaps! may,
Then turn and gave me such a look,
As all the parent in me shook;
! saw the struggles in her heart ;
For well she new that ile mull part? ~
My little infant now is gone ;
And why should I her loss bemoan ?
Through glass of faith 1 plainly fee
That she is happier far than me.
Her golden harp she tunes so sweet,
When fitting at her Saviour's feet,
That I could like to go and hear,
I sometimes think and shed a tear,
(No tear of sorrow but of joy)
The hymns that now my child employ:
Far from the wars that roar lo near
shc's landed fafe ; and free from fear,
No ruffian rude shall ever stain
The innocence of little JANE ;
Angels do fit and lifted, round,
I make no doubt, on heavenly ground ;
And every voice in chorus raise
To sing the lov'd Redeemer's praise.
