PROPOSALS ||
FROM*THE I
PHCENII COMPANY OF LONDON
FOR INSURING
houses, Buildings, stores, ships in harbour, goods,
WARES, AND
FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE, e
INSURANCE from loss or damage by fiee hath been found a measure of great im
portance to the happiness of famines, and has given additional security to commercial
transactions.—The distinguished approbation with which the publick throughout Great-
Britain received the improved system of this office, occasioned frequent application for
the insurance of property tn the principal cities and towns in Europe and America, and
induced the Company many years since to extend their plan to the Western Continent.
The Phtenix Company can refer to the'unerring test of experience to ascertain their
character; and, gratified by* the unbounded confidence they have obtained upon the
Continent of America, and for the purpose of facilitating to the inhabitants the means of
dfecthtg tnflnrance on their property, the Directors "have lately determined to' extend
the cum which they have beeaw accustomed to insure in any single risk, and have ar
ranged rates of premium upon the various descriptions of property, which, they trust,
wider fotyid moderate, just, and equitable.—The promptitude with which this office
has adjusted the claims of sufferers, and the solidity pf its funds, are so well known, that
it is unnecessary to offer more on the subject, than to those who desire information,
to the merchants of London with whom they correspond.
%• In this Office no insured person is liable to any call to make good the losses ot
others; but In case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified by the Company.—The
Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Rates Annual Premiums to be paid for Assurance against Fire.

(tf Our Correspondents have already e»>
erted their poetical talent* in a versification of
the following Sonnet, the original of which we
have published. The first of these is an oU
tempt of the tame kind, and understood to bo ' ■ . >
from the pen of the celebrated Rosoob. Wo
publish them that our patrons may compare
the merit* of tbe several versifications,
I ask’d of Timb, “ whose once yon mould*
ering pile,
“ To whom were rais’d its tow’rs and crested
wall
** That now beneath thy sway in ruin fall, , W
“ Crumbling to dust, and mingling with the
soil T
No oaawbr made ha. but wjtb ghastly smile*
Spread his broad whig* and hasten’d on hie
flight!
I ask’d of Famb, “Say M*w, whose record
bright
“ Live* tq and after age but mark’d, thb
while,
Unmov’d her Ups, and dimm’d with tears
her eyes,
Confus’d at what I saw, I turn’d aside, .
When lo! from stone to stone, with gisnt stride.
Oblivion stalk'd—“ Ah! tell the bold do*
•iffn,
“ ’TYs 4nse*s to thee F—Abrupt and hoarse, A*
cries, • •
“ I care not whatit has been i nvw 'tit mine!*
“Say Timb, whose once yon stately pile,” 1
cri’d,
“ Which now thou crumbiest ruthless in the
soil
He answer’d not, but op’d his pinions wide,
And flew with heedless haste tv ampler spoQ.
“ Say then, prolifick Famb, whose breath sup
plies
" Life to bright works of wonder—What
were those I”
Abash'd, with blushes only she replies,
Like one whose bosom heaves with secret
throes.
LoM in amaze, I turn’d my steps aside, ,
When o’er the pile I saw OgLiviob stride,
With mien imperious, and with vacant eyre I
“ Perchance rAo« know*st,” 1 cri'd—“ Ahl

Abrupt be answered, hoarse, and shook the
air, '
“ Whose once it was, I reck not! new 'tis
nsw*/” NASO.
Few perimnshave enjoyed a higher place
in the esteem of God and of man than
Abraham. When God spake of Abraham,
before the destruction of Sodom, with great
affection and approbation, he so spake of
him on account of what Gml knew w<>nl£*
be his holy and wise conduct towards Ma
family. The heads of families dkcover
their characters most fully and clearly M
home, io their conduct towards their chil
dren and households. They are therp sub
ject to no supei four control from their fel
low-creatures. At home they do not aw
sume appearances contrary to their real
characters. They there feel a freedom
which they feel in no other circumstaucea.
There they act according to their commo* .
views and feelings, with more consistency
and uniformity than in other situations.—
Yet, if we would form an accurate judge
ment of a person's character, we must not
only consider how ha conducts in his own
family, but also how he allows his chil
dren and his household to Conduct. For *
everyman has a right to govern his owjtl
house, and he is to answer to his Judge far
the practices which he allows in his fami
ly. Now the head of a family will always
desire bis children to act- according to hie
own pleasure. This pleasure he Will ex
press to his children. And to the pleasure
of their parents children have many and
powerful motives to conform. If then W*/
know the practices of children, we may,
almost iu every Instance, know the secret
pleasure of parents. Whatever may be thefr
appearances or professions. Children will
not go with the permission and approba
tion of their parents into any company or
practices without the hearts of their pa
rents. A parent never permits nor ap
prove* in bis children what be does not
permit nor approve in his own heart.—
Whet, then, ye professors of Christianity,
art ike practice* of your children I In
many Instances you refuse to know from
you* own conduct What is in your heart*,
although it is meet visible to others. He
entreated, to examine the practices which
you alfoW la your children, and from these
practices learn your own
God-said of Abraham, the friend dfCMR
"for J know' Mm, that bo will command
his children and hie household a •see him,
and they feed ke< tba fe*y < fee Lord, .
