A PALE of WOE.
(An EXTRACT.)
HEAVEN was pleased to de
prive me of my parents
when I was young, and I was left
to the care of a maiden aunt who
resided id the country, where I liv-,
cd in calm serenity and Iweet ob-.
feurity, until I attained the age of
seventeen, when 1 was addrefled
by several of the rural (wains;
amongst the rest young Pakmon
furs—with modest defidence he
pleads his cause, and solicits for
my hand ; I refer him to my aunt,
who'withholds her confent,and is
determined 1 (hall not so disgrace
my family ; alas, how many have
felt the keen fhafc of affli&ion, and
fallen vi&ims to this mistaken
„ pride X^Palemon had nothing to
offer but his co nftant heart, abd
that was nothing to my aunt, tho’
all to me. Finding we could not
foften her obdurate mind, aclan
daftine marriage was talked of,and|
we left our rural Village and set?
for- —where our hands and
hearts were unitec^ A lonely
wood was our firft Mylum, where
Palemon built a small but $ and we
lived on such as th£ sorest afford
ed. Here we had no: been long
when I was told by a villager of
the death of my aunt, who had
left her whole fortune to a distant
relation. Now we had no hopes,
and what added to our distress was
the birth of a daughter. At
length Palemon was refolded to
adventure acrols the tempeftous
ocean, and try tor support in other
Countries for himftlf and family.
Should he succeed, then he would
fend for his Puli a and infant Car
oline^ which during his abfencce,
was my only comfort, until Heaih J
en, ever watchful over our inno
cence, took her co itfelf and fnatcb
ed the babe from the world cf
wretchedness. Till then £ knew
not misery—poverty was but a
(hade to the loss of my Caroline.
. One fatal mom 1 received news
of my Palemon's death. Ye
powers above, I cried, ye guard i.
>ans of the wretched, lend your aid,
or how (hall £ fultain my forti
tude ! Since the death of all I held
moftdearon the earth I have been
a forlorn wanderer, no comfort is
there in this world for the unfor
tunate devotee of aflli&ion.”
EXTRACT I
from 4 Letter ^ Parties, I
WHEN parties prevail,
an opposition is eftabliih
ed ; those who reprelent
the people (upport the laws
and are protected by them ;
thole who are in opposition
have need of aid and support
from other quarters: They
naturally have recouxfe to se
cret influence and intrigues—
they form establishments and
institutions not recognized by
law, in order to have the
force and advantage of joint
operation and concert —they
form clubs, corresponding
committees, and (ocieties of
various deicriptions—they a(-
fume the mock foiemnhy of
degiflation, and in their pro*
ceedings .affed: to imitate the
majesty of a Roman senate :
the leaders of these aflbciatinos
actually arrive,.by dint of Ikrll
and perseverance, to a conspi
cuous elevation, from which
they sometimes menace the
' constituted authorities of their
country. AU this is fub
(lantially a dangerous ufurpa.
tion; but it is a crisis to which
the party lyftem naturally
leads.
.Further, it is incident to
the spirit of a republic to pro
mote and maintain the union
of the citizens. The opera
tion, of a popular government
proceed on the principle of
general consent and agree
ment: The facilty and per
fedion of these operations,
therefore, will be in propor
tion to the perfedion of this
union. Again, union is aho
neceflary for the fafety of the
(late. Weakness always fol
lows division. A free people
rely upon themselves alone
for protedion. All external
and auxiliary power isdange
rous and inadmiflible. But,
without a (landing military
force, a divided people is to
tally defencelels, and with it
they are not free. This is
their diftrefling dilemma.
Look thro’ the volume of his.
tory; Ambitious invaders al
ways begin by (owing diflen
tions and creating parties.
When this is affedcd, they
often find one party ready to
deliver up the other. !
M Unhappy be ! who from tie fir ft of joy i,
^Society, cut off t it left alone?*
THE human heart has a
natural propensity to social in
tercourse. Mankind is not
calculated to live without the
aid of their fellow creatures ;
norisit poffible.when feduded *
from society, than they can
enjoy those finer feelings of
the foul which constitute the
principal part of human fell -
city.
It is true that solitude, and
retirement from the noise and I
bustle of life,may afford great *
pleasure and fetisfaafon to
. contemplative, well informed
philofophick minds: But even
this lolitude and retirement
are to be fattened arid render
ed really agreeable and happy
only by the connexion of
friendly aflociates.
Our all wife Creator has
implanted in our natures such
inclinations and appetites as
are suitable to our Aate ; such
as naturally lead us to the love
of faciety and friendfhip, and
without which we should be
in a worse situation than the
brutal creation..
Generous Humanity.
The following true and affe fling in
fiance of generous humanity and
berdifm deferVes to be celebrated
and repeated in every part of the
habit able globe, Tbe hero who
per firmed the afl here alluded to,
was a native of Holland, who bad
lived from his early yoiirb a rural
life, in the Dutch colony at the
Cape of Good Hope.
He happened to be on horfe*
back on the coaljj, at rhe very point
of time that a vdfel was (hipwreck
ed by a dreadful temped; the
greatest part of the crew perilhed
in the waves; the remainder was
struggling with death on thelhatter
ed planks thht fall floated on the
farface of the water—no boat
could be lent out in such a dread
ful floim, far the deliverance of
these poor people. The humane t
and intrepid Hollande® undertakes
to save them; he bipws brandy
into the nofails of bis horse, and
fixing himfelf firmly in ’his farrups,
he plunges into the sea, and gain
ing the wreck, brings back to the I
shore two men of the crew, each $
of whom held by one of his boots. I
In this manner he went and return
ed 7 times, and thus favrd four
teen of the paflengers; but the
eighth time, (and here the generous
heart will fail) on his return, a rap
id and immense large overfet his
horse, the hereic rider loft bis feat,
and was fwaliowed up with the
two unfortunate victims he was
endeavoring to snatch from death
k —What exit could be more gio
nous than that of th s generous
man !-*-We celebrate the chiefs
who expire in the 'field of battle *
among the vidims they had been
facrificing j and if their motives
were just and public fpirired, let
them have their glory ! But we
cannot help contemplating, with a
more pleasing kind of admiration, |
this intrepid man dying in an at
tempt to save his fellow creatures
from deft tuition. The story is
true. The man’s name, which
our authtr does not mention, was
Altemade— and, if we are not mis
taken, the Dutch Eallindia com
pany paid a just tribute of venera
tion to his memory.’*
