For the Oracle.
THE excellent Lord Chief Jullice Hale, after
enumerating man, non-essentials in religion,
proceeds to fay ;—“ Believe it, Religion is quite a-
Dother thing from all these matters: He that fears
the Lord of heaven and earth ; walks humbly be
fore him ; thankfully lays hold of the message of
redemption by Christ Jesus; Drives to express
bis thanklulnefs by the sincerity of his obedience;
is sorry with all his foul when he comes short of his
duty ; walks watchfully in the denial of himfelf,
and holds no confederacy with any lust or known
fin; if he falls in the least measure, is reliefs till he
hath made his psace by true repentance ; is true to
his promise, just in his actions, charitable to the
poor, sincere in his devotions,; who will not delib
erately dishonor God, though with the greatest fe
\ curity of impunity ; who hath his hope in heaven,
and his gonverfation in heaven ; who dares not do
an unjust a&, though never so much to his advan
tage, and all this because he fees HIM who is invisi
ble, and feats him because he loveshim ; fears him
as well for his goodness, as his greatenfs ; such a
man whether he bean Epifcopalian,oraPr&fbyterian,
or an Independant, or an Anabaptist, whether he
wears a surplice, or 'wears none, whether he kneels
at the communion, or for conscience fake Hands or
fits; he'jhath the life of religion in him, and that
life ads in him, and will conform his foul to the
image of the Saviour, and walk along with him to
eternity, notwith Handing his practice or non-prac
tice of these indefferents.
On the other fide, if a manfar not the eternal God,
dares commit any fin with presumption, can drink
cxccffively, swear vainly or fatfely, commit adulte
ry, lie, cozen, cheat, break his promises, lives loose
ly ; though he practice every ceremony never so
curiously, or as Hubbornly oppose them ; though
he cry down Bishops, or cry down Presbytery ;
though he be rebaptized every day, or though he
difdaim against it as heresy ; though he faft all the
Lent, or feaft out of pretence of avoiding super
stition, yet ootwith Handing these, and a thousand
more external conformities, or zealous opposition
of them, he wants the life of Religion.
Remark —He who is conscious of hi# own
mifeondud bates all those who know it.
&me Tracts in the Character ofa Young
Lady lately deceased.
Sweet harmonist ! and beautiful as sweet !
And young as beautiful ! and soft as young!
And gay as soft ! and innocent as gay !
And happy (if aught happy here) as good !
- Young.
THO' form'd by nature, and by art, to please,
With lively wit, sense, gaiety, and ease 1
Her soul superior, while it did disclaim
Such splendid ornaments, sought higher aim!
Resting with confidence, in nought but THEE
Great Sire supreme ! of life, and immortality !
In early life, celestial dawnings shone,
Each mark of conscious virtue was her own.
In all things worthy, emulous to excel, [well.
Most happy when approv'd, yet bore ev'n crosses
Domestic duties claim'd her early care,
The ties of social life had equal share.
No arts to murder time did she employ,
Time us'd with her, was transport, comfort, soy.
Few were her words—professions rarely made,
While her whole life sincerity display'd.
T' improve in wisdom was her fond desire,
She read but useful knowledge to acquire,
The bards soft strains sooth'd many a weary night,
But sacred numbers were her chief delight.
Yet far o'er all, as faith, hope, love encreas'd,
The sacred volume was her constant feast.
Its hidden treasure, curious to explore,
Eager she sought it, as for golden ore.
By which her mind became (through grace divine)
A rich reposit of th' invalu'd mine.
Conscious of Virtue's excellence, she learn'd
To check each rising folly, when discern'd.
Curb youthful vanity (that baleful weed)
And cherish self-denial in its stead.
Full conscious of her own infirmities,
She was too just, too gentle, and too wise,
The faults of others, with censorious pride,
Rashly to judge, or scornfully deride.
But mild, forgiving, gentle, and resign'd,
She liv'd not for herself, but human-kind.
Iftilial love,what words can speak her praise?
Her Parent's pride and joy, the solace of her days ?
For a lov'd Sister by ill health oppress'd,
How tenderly solicitous ! distress'd)
She gave her sigh for sigh, and groan for groan ;
Her health was dearer to her than her own.
With her, a calm seclusion she preferr'd,
And present hope, and prospect, glad deferr'd
Her heart was form'd (all meaner cares above !)
for the sublime delights of Friendship, & of Love.
With quick discernment, and a judgment sound,
She justly valu'd real, worth, when found.
Nature and social converse, gave her grace,
Truth, and benignity, beam'd from her face,
When call'd the duties of a friend to show.
How swift she sprang to lighten human woe ?
Ev'n though the object was unworthy known —
—But Vice and Fot!y met Ker darkest frown !
Time wasted, or unprofitably spent
In Vanity — with tears she would lament.
But in retirement, comfort she could find,
Sweet peace in holy silence of the mind.
Truths sacred, in her heart engraven were,
And made a lasting, deep impression there.
Their powerful influence was both felt and known,
And richly in her life, and conversation shone.
She lov'd the good, and virtuous, and acquir'd,
, (Though in the bloom of life) by grace inspir'd,
' The heaven-born habit to assist the weak,
'To pour soft pity's tear on the wan gheek
Os suff'ring woe ! to cheer the wretched-^bound.
Soothe the keen parg, and bind up every Wound,
Call'd as she was, with pain and grief to cope,
She learn'd the fallacy of human hope.
Howe'er alluring, fascinating, fair,
To trust a world of change she did not dare.
Os no attainments vain, with ardent eyes,
She still press'd onwards for th' immortal prize,
For not in her own strength, she trod this vale,
But in that potent might which cannot fail.
When first assaulted by the dire disease
Which med'eine could,not reach, nor cordials ease,
(Though net averse to life) yet was her mind
To Heaven's high will implicitly resign'd.
And while of earthly bliss she saw the scope, 1
(Ere heav'n's pure chrystal gates began (cope,)>
Turn 'd from this transitory scene in Hope. )
Though try'd with pain, afflicted, and distress'd,
Yet calm her mind, and patience fill'd her breast.
Her hope was in the ever-living GOD,
And this sure anchor death's last stoim outrode.
At intervals, sweet transports warm'd her breast,
With hope, joy, gratitude, and love possess'd,
To death's rude pangs, a calm serenity )
Succeeded—To this mandate from on high>
She bow'd, & yielded up her soul without a sigh. J

Samuel Walker & Co.
William Gray,
HAVing opened a Boarding-
Hon/e in High Street, at the corner
of Srhool-fbeet, with good Stabling for
horfes—lnvites those Gentlemen travel
ling through the town to call on him—
TWO Sachems of the weftern Indians, in ma
king a tour to Philadelphia, dined at the house
of a gentleman of fortune, amidst a splendid
circle ; and observing mustard upon the table,
one of them took a fpoonful at once into his
mouth, which soon caused the tears to run plen
tifully down his rugged countenance; but re
colle&ing himfclf in a moment, and perhaps no
less desirous to conceal his ignorance than to fee
his companion caught in the fame manner, when
asked by his brother Sachem the cause of his
crying, replied without hesitation, that it was
caused by his receding upon the goodness of
his father who was Hain in battle. This an
swer appeared farisfa&ory to the inquisitive
chief, while the rest of the company, out of
tenderness to the unrefined foffs of nature, could
only, with the utmost exertions, retrain them
fclves from open laughter. From this moment,
the one who had learned by experience the
qualities of mustard, kept his eye constantly on
his tawny brother of the wilderness, until at
length he enjoyed the fupetlative pleasure of
beholding him take a fpoonful into his mouth
in the fame manner he had just done himfelf,
and which was productive of the fame effe&.
The former now in his turn requeued of his
companion the reason of his shedding tears, and
was answered with Indian readiness and wit, —
Because you was not killed when your father
was. 0
The cause tried in England where a lady was
said to have persuaded her lover to accompany
her to Gretna Green, is the more extraordinary
as this is NOT leap year. A case foniewhat
similar occurred several years ago; a young gen
tleman went to consult lergeant Maynard (au
thor of abook entitled law Quibbles) how he
might fafel, carry off an heirets. " You can
not do it at all with fafety, said the sergeant,
" but I'll tell you what you may do ; —let her
mount a hotfe, and hold the bridle and whip ;
do you then mount behind her, and you are
fafe, for she runs away with you." The
sergeant was however fufficiently punilhed for
his quibbling advice, when next day he found
it was his own daughter, that had run away
with his client.
