A PRUDENT man is a? laving of
his time as ofhis fobftance. For
as it is by the use of timethat
substance is acquired, he " wfo it floth
ful in his work is no better than he who
is a great wader." &^wfo,who is a frugal
industrious man, once observed to me,
that "There is much more need of e
'' conomy in the application of our time,
'' than of our money ; for our money
" we may keep by us if we will, and
" dispose of it, when we think best ;
" but our time is always passing, whether
" we will or no; and if we use it hot
"when it is going, we lose it forever.
" Human life, fays he, is allowed to be
<' short ; and the a&ive, ufeful part of
''life,is much shorter than men generally
''feem to think ; for you are to deduct
" several years of infancy and childhood,
'' and as many more spent in education
" for business ; and then towards the
" close of life, several years are reader.
'' ed useless by the infirmities of age.
'' In the more active and vigorous part
'' of life, there are weeks and months of
" sickness ; there are interruptions by
" giving and receiving visits ; by re&i
'' fying our own mistakes, and repair
'' ing unavoidable damages; and near
" half of the remainder is spent in sleep,/
" refrelhment and rest. Now after all
''thefe deductions, how little have we
'' left for the improvement either of
'' our minds or our fortunes ? When I
'' confider that! have a family to main
'' tain, and children to educate and [fet
'' tle in the world ; that I must make
'' some provision for sickness and old
" age : that the sick, the poor and telp
'' less, have their demands upon me—
'' and besides all this, that there is a
" future state, for which I must make
" my own, and aid my children's pre
'' paration ; I am folly convinced, that
"no time ought to be loft. I allow my
« fclf, adds he, only so much time in
ber, has elope:! from my bed
and board, this is to forbid
all perlons harbouring, or
trufling her on m. account,
as I am determined not to
pay any debt the may contract
after this date.

" no time palling from one thing to an

" rather leave a little work undone to

comphfhing it ; for what is left today

Gazetteer.
"By the gift, I had marched one
hundred and thirty-five miles, over a
country cut by four large branches of
White river and many smaller streams,
with steep muddy banks: During this
march, I traversed a country alternately
interspersed with the moll luxuriant foil,
an^ deep clayed bogs, from one to five
miles wide, rendered almost impervious
by brulh and briars. Rain fell' in tor
rents every day, with frequent blasts of
wind and thunder florins. The obstacles
impeded my progress, wore down my
horses, and destroyed my provisions.
"My guides now reecgn'zed the
ground, and imformed me that the main
town was four or five miles in my front,
behind a point of wood which jutted
into the prarie, I immediately de
tached Cel. John Hardin, with fifty
mounted irfantry. & a troop of light horse
under Capt. M'Cby, to attack the villa
ges to the left, and moved on briGly with
my main body in order ofbattle,towards
the town, the smoke from shich was
discernible. My guides were deceived
with refpe& to the fituaticn of the town ;
for inflead of flending at the edge of the
plain, through which I marched, found
in the lew ground bordering on the Wa
bash, on turning the point of woods, one

forty men: He executed the cemfrand

J marched four miles from the
banks of the Ohio on the 23d of May,and
on the 24th I resumed my march, ard
pushed forward with the utmost indufiry,

with the hope than the expe&efon of

which 1 occupied. At i o'clok, having
marched by computation one hundred

penetrated a grove, which hoarded on
an extensive prarie, I discovered two
small villages to my left, at two and four
miles distance.
