Was avarice, by which he became not only a
bomioable, but wretched; he fancied some
'eighty charm in wealth, which, like the wand
of Abdiel, would gratify every wish, and obviate
every fear. This wealth he has now been
taught not only to despise, but abhor: he cast
his jewels upon the sand, and confeffed them to
be ufclefs ; he offered part df them to the mari
ner, and perceived them to be pernicious : he
has now learnt, that they are rendered ufeful or
vain, good or evil, only by the filtration and
temper of the poffiffor. Happy is he whom
diftfefs has taught wisdom ! but turn thine
eyes to another and more inrereftibg scene."
The caliph instantly beheld a magnificent
palace, adorned with the ftatuesof hisanceftori
wrought in jasper; the ivory doors of which,
turningon hinges of the gold of Gokonda, dif
eovered a throne of dromonds, surrounded with
the rajas of fifty natity, and with ambaffador#
of various habits, and deferent complexions ; —
on which fat Aboram, &much lamented son
of Bozaldab, and by his uie a Princes fairer
than a Hoarh
at the deflate isle. What words can paint the
raptures of the flarvirg merchant, when the
captain offered to transport him to his native
country, if he would reward him with half the
jewels in his caflect. No sooner had this pitiless
commander received the ftipulatedfum, than he
held a confutation with his crew, and they a
greed to seize the remaining jewels, and leave
the unhappy exile in the fame helplcfs and la
mentable condition in which they difeovered
him. He wept and trembled, intreated and
implored in vain.
"Will heaven permit such injuflice to be
pA^ifed ?" exclaimed Bozaldab-—" Look a
gain," said the angel, " and behold the very
(hip, in which, fhort-fighred as thou art, thou
wifhedft the merchant might embark, dashed in
pieces on a rock ; dost thob not hear the cries
of the finking sailors ? Frefumc not to direct
the Governor of the univetfe in his disposal of
events. The mao whom thou haft pitied flhall
be taken from this dreary solitude, but not by
the method thou wouldst prescribe. Mis vice
trifles of no use ; and crept, feeble and trembling,
to an eminence, where he was accustomed to fit
every evening to watch the letting fun, and to
give a signal to any (hip that might haply ap
proach the island.
“ inhabitant of heaven," cried Bozaldab, "fuf
fer not this wretch to pcrifh by the fury of wild
beasts." "Peace," said the angel, "and obferVe."
He looked again, and behold a vtffcl arrived
BOZALDAB, caliph of Egypt, had dwelt
ficurcly for many years in the silken pavilions
of pleasure, and had every nicking anointed his
head with the oil of gladuefs, when his only son
Aboram, lor whom he had crowded his treasu
ries with gold, extended his dominions with con
qudhs, and secured them with impregnable for
treffes, was fnddenly wounded, as he was hunt
ing. with an arrowy from an unknown hand, and
expired in the field.
BezJdah, in the diflra&ion of grief and des
pair. refufed to return to his palace, and retired
to the glooniieft grotto in the neighboring
mountain : he there rolled himfeif on the drift,
tore away the hairs of hishoary beard,and dafr
ed the cup of consolation, that patience offered
him, to the ground. He buffered not his min-
Mrels to approach his presence; but Aliened to
the fcre&ms of the melancholy birds of midnight,
that flirt through the solitary vaults and echo
ing chambetsoi the pyramids. " Can that God
be benevolent," he cried, " who thus wounds
the foul, as from an ambulh, with unexpected
farrows, and crushes his creatures in a moment
with irremediable calamity ? Ye lying Imans,
prate to us no more of the justice and .the kind
refs of an all-directing and all-loving Provi
dence ! He, whom ye pretend reigns in heaven,
is so far from protecting the miserable sons of
men, that he perpetually delights to blast the
sweetest flowerets in the garden of Hope ; and,
like a malignant giant, to beat down the strong
est towers of Happiness with the iron mace of
bis anger. If this Being poffcilcd the goodhefs
and the power with which flattering priests have
invested him, he would doubtless be inclined and
enabled to banith those, evils which render the
world a dungeon of distress, a vale of vanity
and woe. —I will continue in it no longer !"
At that moment he furioufly railed his hand,
which despair had armed with a dagger, to strike
deep into bis bosom ; when fuddcnly thick flafa
cs of lightning (hot through the cavern, and a
being of more than human beauty and magni
tude, arrayed in azure robes, crowned with am
aranth, and waving a branch of palm in bis
right hand, arrested the arm of the trembling
and astonished caliph, and said with a majestic
smile, " follow me to the top of this mountain."
" Look from hence," said the awful conductor ;
"t am Caloc, the angel of peace ; look from
hence ipto the valley."
Bozaldab opened his eyes and beheld a bar
ren, a sultry, and solitary island, in the midst of
which fat a pole, meagre and ghastly figure:—-
It was a merchant just prrifhing with famine,
and lamenting that he could find neither wild
berries, nor a tingle spring ih this forlorn desert ;
and begging the protection of heaven agaibft
the tigers that would now certainly deftrOy him,
since he had confirmed the last fuel he had col
lected to make nightly fires to affright them.
He then cast a casket of jewels on the sand, as

Gracious Allah !—it is my son," cried the
caliph—“ O, let me hold him to my heart !"—
" Thou canst not grasp an unsubstantial vision,"
replied the angel. “ I am now ihewing thee
what would have been the destiny of thy son,
had he continued longer upon the earth"——

IN his will, he has bequeathed the in
come of two shares in the Piscataqua
bridge to a helpless granddaughter,
during her life, and forever, after her
decease, to the poor of the south church.
HE had been careful to settle all hi 3
worldly affairs sometime before his
death. He appeared to be perfectly
resigned to his approaching dissolution
and left his dying testimony to the truth
of that religion, which he bad so long
professed, but declined the painful task
of taking a formal leave of his family.
it is ever gratifying to us, when a
beloved friend is taken away, that he
should impart his counsel and benedic
tion in his last moments, as a dying le
gacy ; but, what can the conscientious
and upright have to add at the hour of
death ? His pious example, through
life, is the richest bequest he can possi
bly make.
the surviving consort, children, and
friends have the consolation, than which
none can be greater, that Deacon No
ble was a peaceable and useful citizen,
a friend to his countrv, and a sincere
chiistian. Although dead, yet, by his
good example, he continues to speak.
having finished his course and kept
the faith, he departed this life, after a
short and painful illness, on Monday,
about midnight; the 19 October, 1801,
in the 67 year of his age. On the
Thursday following he was interred
with every token of respect.
mark the perfect man and behold
the upright; for the end of that man
this worthy man was born at Ports
mouth, the io June, old style, 1735.
He discharged, with diligence, the vari
ous duties of life, and, in every trust,
he exhibited the most unshaken integ
rity. He passed through different scenes
of affliction with meekness and patience
He was, from an early period, a public
professor of the religion of Jesus. For
twenty four years he was an exemplary
officer in the South Church. The inter
ests of christianity deemed ever to lay
near his heart. No one appeared to
take more pleasure, than he, in recount
ing the kind interpositions of provi
dence towards himself and others.
the poor of this town,who had been,
for a number of years, committed to
his care, have reason to rise up and call
him blessed, for the pious example he
set, the good counsel he often gave, and
the strict attention he paid to their va
rious wants.

The angel, while he was speaking thus,
stretched out his pinions to fly back to rhe Em
pyreum; and the flutter of his wings was like
the rushing ofa cataract.
"Cast away the dagger," replied the heavenly
niciTenger, " which thou- waft preparing to
plungeinto thine own hcart Exchange complaint
for silence, and doubt for adoration. Can a
mortal look down, without giddinef, and ftupe
fa&iun, into the vall abyss of eternal wisdom ?
Can a mind that fees not infinitely, perfectly
comprehend any thing among an infinity of ob
jedls mutually relative ? Can the channels,which
thou haft cut to receive the annual inundations
of the Nile, contain the water of the Ocean ?—
Remember, that perfect happiness cannot be
conferred on a creature ; for perfect happiness
is an attribute as incommunicable as perfect
power and eternity."
From what dreadful evil has my son been refeu
ed by a death which I ralhly bewailed as un
fortunate and premature : a death of innocence
and peace, which has blcffed his memory on
tarth, and transmitted his foul above the Ikies."
" Happy, l ' said Caloc, "is he whom Provi
dence has by the angel of death snatched from
guilt ! f>om whom that power is with-held,
which, if he had pofEffed, would hav^ accumu
lated upon himfelf yet greater milcry than it
could bring upon others."
"It is enough," cried Bozaldab ; " I adore
the inscrutable I'chemes of 0 unifeieuCe !-■
ed to be a witness of so much felicity & power ?"
" Confider the fcquel," replied he that dwells in
the fifth heaven. Bozaldab looked earnestly,
and few the countenance of his son, on which
he'had been used to behold the placid smile of
limpidity and the vivid blufhea of health, now
distorted with rage, and now fixed in the insen
sibility of drurikennefs ,it was again animated
with disdain, it became pale with apprehension,
and appeared to be withered by intemperance';
his hands, were Rained with blood, and he
trembled by turns with fury and terror : the
palace so lately ihining with oriental pomp,
changed Suddenly into the cell of a dungeon,
where his son lay stretched out on the cold pave
ment, gagged and bound, with his eyes put out.
Soon after he perceived the favourite sultana,
who before was feared by his fide, enter with
a bowl of poifoo, which (he compelled Aboram
to drink, and afterwards married the successor
to his throne.
