o CONJUGAL ‘AFFECTION.
OF all the pleasures that endear human life, there
arc none more worthy the attention of a rati
onal creature than those which flow from the mutual
return of conjugal love.” .
When two minds are thus engaged by the ties of
reciprocal sincerity, each alternaiely receives and com
municates a transport that is inconceivable to all but
those who are in this situation. From hence arises
tnat heart ennobling {olicitude for one another’s wel
fare ; that tender {fympathy which alleviates afflicti
on ; and that participated pleasure which heightens
prosperity and joy itfelf. - ' :
A good wife makes the cares of the world fit easy,
and adds a {weetnefs to its pleasures.—She isa man’s
belt companion in prosperity, and his only friend in
adversity ;—the carefulelt preserver of his health, and
the kindcft attendant on his sickness: A faithful.ad
vifer in diltrefs—a comforter in affli&tion, and a pru
dent manager of all his domestic affairs.
Good nature and evenness of temper will give you
an ealy companion for life ;—virtue and good sense,
an agreeable friend ;—love and constancy, a good wife
or husband. ; ; :
He that allows himfelf to taste those pleasures
which he denies his wife, a&s like 2 man who would
enjoin his wife to oppose those enemies to which he
has already surrendered.
« CYRUS, King of Persia, had taken captive the
young Prince of Armenia, together with his beauti
ful and blooming Princess, who he had lately married,
and of whom he was paflionately fond. 'When both
were brought to the tribunal, Cyrus asked the Prince,
what he would give to be remftated in his kingdom ?
He answered, with an air of idifference, ¢ That as
for his crown and his own liberty, he valued them at
a low rate: butif Cyrus would restore his beloved
Piincefs to her native dignity and hereditary pofleffi
ons, hie thould iniinitely rejoice, and would pay /this
he uttered with tenderness and ardour) would willing=
ly pay his life for the purchase ! ” When all the pri
soners were dismissed with freedom, it is impoflible
to be exprefled how they were charmed with their
yoyal benefactor—fome celebrated his martial accom
plithments ; some applauded his social virtues ;—all
were prodigal of their praise, and lavith in grateful
acknowledgment : And you, said. the Prince, addrefl
ing bimfelf to h js bride, what think you of Cyrus?
I did not observe him, said the Prince(s. —Not ob
serve him! upon what, then, was your attention fix
ed? Upon that prAR and GENEROUS man, who
declared, that he would purchase My LIBERTY at
the expence of His OWN LITE!”
What an idea of chastity! and, at the fame tire,
what 2 wonderful simplicity and delicacy of thought
are here in the answer of the young Princess; who
kad no eyes but for her husband.

O N the Norfolk circuit, in England, some
years ago, a Sheriff s name was BELL, who
forbid the ringing of bells, as is cuff@mary on the en

give any thing to theringers: so when the Corporation
went to pay their respects to the Judges, the Mayor,
in apology for the bells not ringing as usual, said—

Dec. 5, They write from Nantz, that an Ameri.
can who had come to féttie there, hearing that his wife,
. who was soming from Baltimore to five with him, was
cast away, ran to a precipice, from which he vaulted
to a considerable depth, and was consequently kiiled.
A private letter from Nantz mentions, that a man,
named Princion, was convifled, at the criminal court
of thut city, for mualtiplied 2&s of murder, in poison
ing his father, mother, two fiilers, and a clergyman,
- who lodged in the house. "This inhonian wretch being
severely rebuked by these people; for leadirg a de
bauched and extravagant life, took the above cruel me
thodof getting rid of his troublesome monitors. He was
sentenced by the court to have hisright hand cut off,
his tongue cut out, his body racked and exposed on a
wheel for two hours, which was executed in the Great
Square, on the loth inst. between five and fix o’clock
in the cvening, to the great terrcur of the multitude,

D:c. 9. Some people are affe@ted to believe, that
the connetion between the conrt of Vienna and Pe
terfburgh is not as intimats as the world gencrally be
lieved 1t; .but upon theauthority of aperfonof quality
at Vienna, from whom we have received very authentick
intelligence, we have every reason to believe, thata
firmer alliance never existed between two powers than
exilis at this moment between the .Emperour of Ger
many and the Empress of Ruflia. Our intelligence
states, that a few days ago an express arrived at Prince
Gallitzin’s, the Ruflian Ambatfador at the court of
Vienna, who immediately communicated the contents
of his dispatches to the Prince, Kaunitz, his imperial
Majeflty’s Prime Minister. These dispatches brought
an an{wer to three important questions which the Em.
perour had {ubmited to the consideration of the court’
of Peterfbargh, and on which he desired the Empress
would give clear and decisive answers. The quettions
were as follows : ; "
lit. May the Emperour depend on her Maj=ity for
unlimited fuccours towards carrying into effeét the
projeits which her Mujelty knew he had then in his

The answer to the firft was, That the Emperour, her
ally and particular friend, might proceed in the bufi

And to the third, That if the Englifh_fhould fal)

quar.tcr. ? : s g s
Thus fapported, it is not likely that the Emperour
will easily give up the plan he had formed of rounding
Mis dominons, by giving his distant poficflions in the
Netherlands in exchange tor Bavaria, which lie at his
«door, and forms a great and formidable frontier. -
Extract of a lutter from an English gentleman at Bombay,
dated March 5, 1785,
~““ On the top of the Majabar hill, in this island, are
two rcuand buildings, on|purpofe to receive the dead
bodies of the Parees, which zre placgd and remain
there till the bascs are olea& picked by the birds. A
guard conftant.y sands within a {mall distance of the
place, who is very much displeased if you offer to dif
tarb the vultures in their preying npon the dead bodies.
One zfternoon, however, [ resolved to fatisfy my cu
riosity, so far as to peep into one of these edifices. [
perceived {everal dead bodies, but there was little flefh
left upon their bones, and that little was so parched up
by the excessive heat of the fun, that it did not emit
those slinking rffluvia which there was reason to expelt ;
it was owing, probably, to the fame cause, that the
bones were rendered quite black. \
¢ The poor misguided natives profirate themselves
before the fua, under the fame notion that Gentoos Pe
verence an ox or cow ; from the excellent qualities
they observe in these created beings, and their great
ufefulnefs, each'is indaced to fuppcfe, that the God
head does most certainly dwell in them ; and under
this mistaken notion, they kindly pay #hat homage to
the Creature, which is only due to the Creator.
*“ As the Gentoos burn their dead, one would think
that the Perfees, who are so fond of worshiping their
deity, under the representation of fire, thould be desi
rous of having their dead bodies committed to that ele
ment wherein they suppose their Creator principally to
reside ; but, contrary to this, and to the custom of all
nations in the world, they neither burn or bury their
dead, but cait them into the open air, to be expg(ed to
the several elements, where they are soon devoured by
the eagles] vultares, and other birds of prey. The
principal they go upon is, thata living man, being
compounded of all the elements, it is bat reasonable,
cfier he is dead, that every particular #lement should
receive its own again, :
