THE VOW.
From Metrical Miscellany.
O CLEAR that cruel doubting brow !
I call on mighty Jove,
To witness this eternal vow—
Tis you alone I love.
" O leave the god to foft repose,
(The foiling maid replies)
“ For Jove but laughs at lover's vows,
" And lover's perjuries."
By honor'd beauty's gentle power,
By friendfllip's holy flame !
" Ah ! what is beauty but a flower,
" And friendship but a name ?"
By those dear tempting lips I cry'd—
With arch ambiguous look,
Convinc'd, my Chloe glanced aside,
And bade me " kiss the book."

Religious Anecdote.
0
The following is given by the Correspondent
of an Edinburgh paper :
“ During the late unhappy commotions in
Ireland,a private soldier in the army of Ld.Corr
wallis, was daily observed to be absent from his
quarters and the company of his fellow foldicrs.
This gave rife to a suspicion that he withdrew
for the purpose of holding improper intercourse
with the rebels. The poor man was brought
to trial and by a court martial was condemned
to fuffer death. The marquis hearing of this
wished to examine the minutes of the trial ; and
not being fatisfied, sent for the condemned pris
oner to converse with him. Upon being inter
rogated by his Lordship, he solemnly disavow
ed every treasonable practice or design, declared
his Sincere attachment to his Sovereign,and his
readiness to live and die in his service : and af
firared that the real cause of his frequent ab
fcnce was for the purpose of secret prayer, for
which his Lordffiip knew he had no opportuni
ty among his profane comrades, who on ac-•
count of his religious prof<ffion,had become his
inveterate enemies. This,he informed his Lord-
Ihip, was the whole defence he made on his tri
al : but the officers judging it very improbable
paid no attention to it.
'' The Marquis,in order to fatisfy himfclf as
to the truth of his defence, observed, that if so
he mud have acquired some confidcrable
aptness in the exercise of prayer. The poor
man replied that he could not boast of his abil
ity in that exercise. The Marquis then reques
ted him to kneel down and pray aloud before
him; which he did, with such copiousness, flu
ency and ardour as fully fatisfied the Marquis'
that no person could pray in that manner, who
did not live in the habit of daily intercourse
with God. The noble Marquis then took
%im by the hand, revoked his sentence, and
placed him among his personal attendants.''
FILIAL~OBEDIENC&
Strong sense entertained by Doctor JobnCon w of the
virtue of Filial Obedience exemplified in bis do- „
mg P eMance at '" fiber's IhoSflalt.
During rhe last visit which the Dj&or made
to •Litchfield, the friends with whom he was
ftaymg miffed him one morning at the breakfaft
table ; on enquiring after him of the servants,
they undciftood he had set off from LitcbScl'
at a very early hour, without mentioning to a
ny of the family whither he was going. The
day passed without the return of the illusions
gneft, and the party began to be very uncafy
on his account, when, just before the supper
hour, the door opened, and the Doctor flalked
into the room. A solemn Silence of a few mm
Wes ensued, nobody daring to enquire the cause
of his absence, which was at length relieved by
Johnson addressing the lady of the houle in the
following manner .•—" Madam, I beg your
pardon for the abruptness of my departure from
vour house this morning, but 1 was constrained
to do it by my confeience. Fifty years ago,
Madam, on this day I committed a breach of
filial piety, which has ever since lain heavy on
my mind, & has not until this day been expiated.
My father, you recoiled, was a bookfellcr, and
had long been in the habit of attending
market,& opening a stall for the sale of his books
during that day Confined to his bed by in
difpofition,he requeued me, this time fifty years
ago, to visit the market, and attend the flall in
his place. But, Madam, my pride prevented
me from doing my duty, and I gave my father
a refuf.il. To do away the fin of this disobe
dience, this day went in a post-chaise to ,
& going ' nto the market at the time of high bu-
Gnefs, uncovered my head, and flood with it
bare an hour before the flall which my father
had formerly ufed,expofcd to the sneers of the
standers-by, and the inclemency of the weather
a penance by which, trtul, 1 have propitiated
Heaven for this only inftahce, I believe of con
tumacy towards my father."
Extraordinary Character.
The public attention in Germany is now much
devoted to the famous robber, called Schinder
hannes, who was taken and delivered up to the 1
French, about two months ago, with several of
his associates. A thousand anecdotes are related 1
of this extraordinary man,who is said never to;
have attacked the poor, but even, on the con
trary, to have been their friend and fupporter,l
robbing the rich, the Clergy, and Jews in par- !
ticular, to afford them fuccour ; maintaining a
mong his associates, nearly 2do in number, a
severe discipline, and punching even with death
such of them as trangreffed their voluntary sub
mission to his controul. After being all last
year the terror of the left Bank of the Rhine,
and laying under periodical contribution all
the country between Mayence and Coblentz
he transfered his gang to the right Bank of the
river in Franconia and was at length arefled as
a suspicious character, on coming into Rumke
lifchen one day, a little market town, in the
charader of a pedlar,with a horse and cart full
of wares,as was frequently his pradicc upon a
reconnoitering scheme. To avoid more minute
investigation,he there enlisted with the Austrians
& being sent to the general rendezvous atFrank
furt was recognized and betrayed by an associ
ate. He then acknowledged himfelf to be
Schinderbannes, and was at the request of the
French Minister delivered up to the Republic
and conduced with several of his associates ap
prehendad in the interim, particularly one called
Back Jonas, in great notoriety, to Mayence,
where be now remains a close pnfoner, as well
as his father and mother, peasants near Raftadt,
his miftrefi, and many others, waiting his trial;
his age is only 23, and his condu&, if what is
greedily published of him be try.. almost mod-
elled cn that of Carl Moor, in Schiller's famous
play of the Robbers, imitated lately on the
Red Cross Knights and which would seem to
have electrified and given a wrong impulse to
an ardent imagination,which in better pursuits
might have formed an heroic character.

" One Baptism."
Ephesians ivth chapter part of the sth verse
" And John answered and said, Mos.
" ter, wefew one casting out devils in fly
" name; and we forbade him, becauJe be
" followetb not with us. And Jesus said
" unto him, forbid him not : for be that is
'* not againJl us is for us."
Luke igth chapter, 49th and 50th verfts.
—o —
The modesty and candor with which the fub
je& of baptism is treated in these difeourfes,
will greatly recommend the head and heart of
the writer.—While the mod harsh and disin
genuous pieces are weekly published against
those Clergymen who advocate the mode of
Iprinkling for baptism,and epithets which w i uld
prove peculiarly grating to difpOfitions not fof
tened, and humbled by true piety, it mud be
heartily gratifying to Chriflians of every fed,
to find the fubjeft here treated with that defer
cnee and awe, which is its due.

PATENT WINDOW SPRINGS, in
the coumitsof Rockingham & Strafford,
in New Hampshire, and the Diftria of
Maine, except the towns of Berwick, San
ford and Wells. The object of this in
vention was to furnish a fecurefafencr for
windows, and convenient machinery to
raise and lower both the upper and lower
Safb, and by the assistance of Springs to
Support it at any height that is wished.
Gentlemen, who have viewed Win
dows fitted with these Springs are of opin
, ion that the invention will be of great
j utility, and acknowledge that the design
l of the inventor is completely accomplish
ed. The expense of fitting a Window
! with these Springs is but about a fourth
part so much as that of weights and lines;
at the fame time more durable and less
liable to accidental injury. Old windows
may be fitted with Springs as well as
new ones.
Those u ho with to purchase Springs,
or to have them put on, may apply to any
