A Black man, going to be married to a wo
man of the fame colour, by a justice of
the peace, observed to him that if he perform
ed the ceremony as he usually did for the white
people, be would pay him well; but if not, he
would give nothing. “ Very well," replied
the justice. After the ceremony was over, the
fellow was going away, when the justice tho't
proper to remind him of his promifc. " Why,"
hid the negro, " you have omitted an essen
tial point." The justice demanded what it
was? " Why," answered the negro, “you for
got to salute the bride," and hade him a very good
Bight. ,
When these precepts universally pre
vail in a nation, so as to influence us
to both avoid and refill evil, injuries as
well as revenge, unwillingness to dif
fufe the enjoyments of life, as well as
too much solicitude to acquire them—-
When true religion disposes us to lay
aside ambition and contentions about,
interest and power, how much happier
may we go on in the world? The di
vine system of morality offered us in
the gospel, curtails no lawful pleasures,
no trieedfhip, no conne&ions, no dili
gence, no business in life, no profeffion
or pursuit, which do not impede our
progress in a life of new obedience,
which do not interfere with the prac
tice of each of its new and transform
ing precepts—lt forbids all excess, but
requires us to be diligent in business,
n^t Slothful, but to serve God fervently
and ourselves industriously in that stage
of life divine providence places us
The things of this world, we are taught
and allowed to use as not abusing them.
By this scripture we are forbid using
any thing, pursuing any objed, or en
tering into any profeffion, only as in
fubferviency to the practice of its sub
lime fentiments,or in other words,its ob
jed is to be the firft ^vith us. He who
feels the life and power of the divine
morality of Jesus Christ, wishes to do
good and communicate, more than to at
tach himfelf to this or the other body,
set, fe& or party of men in the world, he
wiffies to do good to all men as he has
opportunity, especially to the house
hold of faith ; that is, all such as are
impelled by the fame liberal and di
vine sentiments, riling above modes
and forms, dextrines or the command
ments of men—This system begets and
promotes similar and congenial feelings,
and operates like a three fold cord
drawing and binding all its possessors
into one common cause.
On LIFE and DEATH.
Life and the grave two different lessons give,
Iff, shows us how to die, death new to lite.
He knows that this religion is fitly
called a straight gate, and that but few
find it because few will be prevailed up
on to practice its precepts—but few
Will relinquish the pleasures of this
world, for the hopes of happiness in one
not seen now, only by faith.
I he affairs of thisworld are but very
little impeded, or altered by the few
who while they live in it are not of it,
but yet those few are in the language of
Christ the salt of the earth and the light
of the world, which light if observed,
and followed would Shift many scenes,
effed new arrangments, corred many
immoral habits and produce a change
much for the better.
THE wars, great parades, bustle
and manoeuvres of this world
form no objed for the real chriftian.
He has objects infinitely superior. The
religion of the gospel holds out a prize
of incomparable value. This the real
chriftian withes Readily to pursue, and
will not be diverted from his course by
the world unless temptations overtake
him, and being off his guard is led as
tray by the world. The real chriftian
wishes to improve his morals, inform
his mind, and strengthen his hope and
faith by this religion. He wishes and
hopes by its divine precepts and spirit
to be qualified for a more happy socie
ty above, and his evidence and consola
tion are in proportion to his persever
ance inmeeknefs, piety, patience, humili
ty, charity and detachment from this
world.
A remark on the Morality of CHRISTIANITY,
concluded from the Moralif No. 394.
For the United States Oracle of the Day.
ON SPRING. By a youth.
THE beauties of returning Spring,
The muse inspires my tongue to finfa
W^h ev'ry ardefs lay ;
The beauties of the earth, and iky
Conspire to make my heart comply,
And I'll their voice obey ;
But, while 1 breathe the gentle gale
That zephyr wafts along the vale,
I'll gain some wisdom too ;
I 11 think how fwift the moments roll ;
I'll every base desire controul,
And so refemblc you.
What lovely scenes in profpea rife,
What vivid colors deck the Ikies
Os ev'ry pleating ray!
While, Hill to charm the wand'ring eye,
The Spring'declarea the season nigh
That fiowrets shall display:
But, know, vain man, the fleeting hour
At length must wither ev'ry power,
And Spring no longer charm ;
Think, how the wint'ry hour of death
Must soon arrest thy vital breath,
And all thy pleasures harm.
Then, what but virtue can controul
The piercing torments of the foul,
When ev'ry joy's away !
Yes, Godlike virtue must remain, ,
And ev'ry shock of time fuftuin
To an eternal day.

stories; with Barn, out houses,
Blacksmiths (hop, Wharves, &c. and
about five acres of Land—A part of
the land has been heretofore occupied
as a ship-yard, is the best situation for
the purpose on the Pifeataqua, and
while it presents an advantageous es
tablishment for the naval architect, is
susceptible of such improvements as
may render it a delightful residence for
the private gentleman. For terms and
further particulars, apply to the sub

WHEREAS ISAAC HILL, the
hufond of me the fubferiher, has
for a number of years behaved more like
a diftra&ed man, than a rational being ;
having repeatedly beat, bruized and kick
ed me in a cruel and inhuman manner ;
denying o md and my children the com
mon neceffarics of life, such as meat and
meal; and has at different times 'taken
the bed from under me, and obliged me
to deep in barns and out-boules, with a
fucking child on my arms; to ^li which
he has added avast variety of personal
indecent, abusive anions beside; I there
fore think it my duty, to forewarn all and
every person from crediting my Lying kuf
band on the accotbit of Truth, as 1 am de
termined to pay no debts which he may
contraa lofalfchood. If the said Isaac Hill
wiflies any further particulars, they shall
be brought forward, Supported by the af
fidavits of the most refpe&ablc inhabi
tants of Kittery, to whom the fubicriber
can lodge an appeal, that the said Isaac,
is an unfeeling and tyrannical master,
milled by adulterous passions, which were
the deaths (it is said) of two former wives,
but shall never finifh my days; as so bad
a man, and his still worse women, are un
worthy of so much honor, as that of kill
ing a good wife. „ LUCY HILL.
