LET allthe earth in Jolemn deep-felt Drains,
The everlafling God of Nature praise:
With what unbounded wond'rous love be reigns
O'er all the earth ! bis name fill louder raise.
Let Cherubim and Seraphim on high,
Aid min this all glorious theme ;
And with their Jounding voices rend the Jky,
In adoration to the God Supreme!
; Who bade bis Son, to whom allpow'r was giv'n,
Defected to earth and bear oUr grief and guilt ;
The Son obey'd the high bebeft ts Heav'n,
And for our crimes bis Father's ire be felt.
, And when be of the bitter cup partook.
And on the crojs bis bleeding life expir'd ;
: , ^ Rocks burs in twain, and martb'sfoundation jheok,
Tbefars their courjes left, the fan retir'd.
-Marvellous love! Cbrift Jbevo to as bis foes, t '
He anfwer'd in ear flood God's great demand ;?
, He bled—be died—but from the dead arose, I
And death and bell if vißory disarm'd.
The Son made equal with bis Father God,
To him all glorioujiy bat risen,
Who bore the vengeance of bis Father's rod,
That we might ever reign with him in beav'n.
Tofound bis name, Jirive who can toft encil ;
To him our best and nobl&ft thanks belong:
Hefav'd us from the lowed depths of bell,
then above Angels woe fhouldfusell our fag.
My breaf all fir'd upon this fubjeN gloves.
To Christ let load bofemnas now ascend,
Whose love to man a boundless ocean flows,
Andis unfearcbable and without end.
In,him we Jee unrivaPd glories blaze,
When we,his loose, bis pangs, bis deatbreview ;
Os may we rival Angels in bis praise,
And me, our offspring wale tbe thane anew.

repeating the burial service. The
,ftoni&ed bridegroom, exclaimed,—
'1 Sir! Sir! you mistake, I time here
to be married, not to be buried !"
Well, replied the Clergyman, if you
insist upon it, I am obliged to marry
you; but, believe are, my friend, you

descr^kF^Tbeau.
ABE AU, a thing of present con sequence,
though once classed with monkies, is a
biped featberlefsy but in some measure fond
of the rude covering of nature, since he fuf
fers the hair to spread over his joles, aiming
Without doubt, at the beauty of the buffa
loe.
His hair is docked behind, much like the
tail of a Dutch horse. Around his neck he
Iwears a huge bolster, inside a striped cravat,
which a man, ignorant of the mode, would
suppose was a cataplafm for the quinfey.—
His coats and waistcoats are made with roll
ing capes, resembling an old fashioned riding
dress ; and if his wardrobe allows it, which is
not always the case, he generally changes
them twice a day.
His breeches, or with the greatest proprie
ty, his fmall-clotbes, stick to him as his skin;
and were it not for an elastic band, which is
conneded with them and hangs athwart his
shoulders, he could not politely stoop to take
up it belte's fan without; cracking.
His small-clothes are either fattened at the
knees ty a hackle, plaited under the ham,
and thence properly denominated a bam-hc
kle ; or tied by a bunch of silken ferret, which
hangs dangling down his legs, and resembles
a piece or sliced cabbage, by Dutchmen
ycleped cold fans.
His flockings are ringed, streaked and
speckled, like Jacob ? s calves. His shoes are
sometimes coveted with ribbons, sometimes
impressed with a miniature buckle.
His cane, alias can#, alias ftickee, is very
much like an Irifhman's/W^, and so short
that he never pretends to reach the ground
with it, .v\ \ # -
The behaviour of these , efeaebures" is in
solent andfull of affeaation,indicative of that
felf-fufficiencv, which is the offspring of ig'
norance, and of that prided which springs
from meanefs.
They are very apt to complain of the wine,
the bread and the tea, whimare brought for
.them. For this, ^ever, the poor devils ;
are not so blamable, lince it proceeds from a
mistaken idea, started by their fruitful imag
inations,jn comparing their own manner of
1 living at home with that of people abroad ;
so that scarce any dish, procurable by hefts
in general, can fatisfy thole, who make very .
cheap meals at their own tables.
They are commonly lean, meagre animal^
fetpricein a while comes along a red-fitted;
butcherly looking fellow, with a carcase in
fuppoftable. You may frequently fee them
at the coffee-houfe, loitering through the
streets, or walking near the north battery.
, N, B. They make use of the word " Yan
kee," and are fond of passing for Englishmen.
ARITHMETIC;
Recommended to the Lad l is—for the following
Reasons:'
1. NUMERATION will teach them to
make figures in life, and to enumerate all they
hear and fee with more truth than it is said
they now generally do.
2. Addition will teach them to add to the
number of their gallants, children, and a
mufements.'. , .
3. Subtraaion will teach them to take from
their neighbor's merit, in order to increase
their own.
4. Multiplication will teach them to multiply
as fall as their husbands can possibly main
tain. .
§, Division will teach them how to parcel
out the estate with advantage, in all cases of
separate maintenance.
6. Tbe Rule of Three will teach them how
to manage at one time a hulband and a gal
lant, so as estimate to a certainty, if a hus
band is able of affording her so much happi
ness, what a husband and gallant must af
'°r'.vr
7. Praaice will compleat them in learning
all those accomplishments and allurements
by which they make daily so many con
quests.
8. Simple Interest will teach them that it
should all centre in their own person and
pleasure.
p. Compound Inttreft will teach them that
it is their interest to compound with their
husbands, by obedience at home, for the fake
of pleasure abroad ; and to compound with
the world, by facrificing charades for the
fake of enjoyment.
10. Reduaion will teach them to bear with
patiente the lots of one lover, for the fake of
the rest.
11. Vulgar Frdaiont will teach them to
despise the ill natured arid groveling ideas
of the low-bred world.
ON GAMING.
T OVE of gaming corrupt# the best
1-^ principles in the world ; like a
quiCKiana, n rwaiiowi upaman in a
moment.
How many thoufandi have been
raided by gaming ? Yet you fay very
composedly, you cannot live without
it ; frivolous excuse ! Is thete any vi
olent and fhimeful passion which may
not use the fame language ? Would
any one be allowed to fay, he cannot
live without murders, rapes, and rob
beries ? Is gaming without considera
tion or intermission, where you aim at
the total ruin of your adversary, where
you are transported with insolence at
winning, or thrown into defpiir by
losing ; where inflamed by avarice—
you expose on a card or die, your own,
your wife's, and your children! for
tunes. Is this allowable ? Is this the
sport you cannot five without ? And
yet are there not often worse conse
quences than these at play ? When
entirely flipped, when clothes and
furniture have ten converted into
gaming-money, you fee your family
in unpitied wretchedness. The fre
quent duels I omit. I allow nobody
to be a knave, but I allow a knave to
play deep. Iforbid it in an honest
man. There is much folly, there is
wickedneG, in expofiog one's felf to
a great loft.
There is one afflidion which is lafc
ing, aod that g the loss of an estate;
time, which alleviates all others, shar
pens this ; we feel it every moment,
during the course of our lives, conti
nually miffing the fortune we have
All play debts must be paid in spe
cies or by an equivalent. The man
that plays beyond his income, pawns
his estate , the woman must find out
something else to mortgage when her
pin-money i, gone 1 the husband has

GOOD husbandry and ceconomy arej
the only means by which a farmer
can get rich. I think our neighbor
H " works it right ;" for he
gets his work done in season; and
rather than be idle, will haul his door
dung into the barn-yard-
He is so very much afraid of wear
ing out his tools, that, when he i, go
ing abroad, he.will spend a whole day
to hide one; that is worth twp cop
pers, rather than bis neighbor should
use it. But he will borrow, when he
can, and if he don't get rich, the
