as not exceeding half that amount . •

'ME. RANLET,
Please to give the following a
place in your paper, and you
will oblige an old Cufomer.—•
IN the 25th of St. Matthew's'
gospel, we have an account
that at some certain period of
time, the whole human Race
are to be collected in one ge
neral Assembly, and that they
are to be divided by their Sa
viour into two separate bodies,
the Jbeep are to be let on his
right hand, and the gnats on his
left. The preachers of our
day inform us, that those goats
are the fouls of men, and they
are to be lent to hell and there
to be damn’d by the devil to
all Eternity; and at the fame
time they will grant that the
foul of man is a part of God.
^ery, is it possible that the
Author of all beings, the great
Parent of the universe or any
part of him could ever become
a goat and foffer eternal pu
nishment in hell.
Died, in England, Mr. John IVatfon,
aged 71. Mr. Watson was one of the
latest furvivours of the crew of the Cen
turian who accompanied Lord Anfonia
his voyage round the world ; and a proof
of his attachment to that service, he has
bequeathed his huufe and garden to a
person who failed with him, for, his hie,
during life. At the decease of this per
son it is willed to any other (if such there
may be) who can prove that he went the
fame voyage in the Nation of common
seaman. It is afterwards to go to the
relations, of the original proprietor.
Watson, by formerly keeping a public
house, and acting a, an. agent for fcamen,
had acquired a competency,and was uni
versally fefpetled for hisriritegrity.
