The Republican ledger — Portsmouth, N.H., 1801-08-04 00:00:00, page 4

WITH a big bottle nose, and an acre of chin,
His whole physiognomy frightful as fin ;
With a huge frizzled wig, and ' triangular hat,
And a fnuff befmear'd handkerchief tied over that ;
Doctor Bos, riding out on his fierce Rofinante,
flu hair very rich, but of flefh very scanty)
Was a little alarm'd through a zed for his bones,
Seeing Hodge cross the Road with ^barrow of
stones.
Hip ! Friend ! roar'd the Doctor, with no little
force, N
Prithee set down your barrow, t'will frighten my
horse ! ? -
Hodge as quickly replied,as an Erskine or Garrow,
You're a d-^^ deal more likely to frighten my
'Borrow.'
IT has ever been the case since the days of
Paul, and I might add, since the days of King Sol
oman, that's certain number of persons, situated
in various parts of the universe, are perpetually'
feafting themselves upon other men's imperfec
tions, things which profit them nothing. Doubt
less, they think when they divulge any scandalous
story, two thirds, nay, nearly all of their own
composition, that they have performed some ex
cellent exploit, and pieafed a friend. Vain and
foolilh hypocrites, they do not realize how much
they deceive themselves ! No person, who is ac
quainted with a tale bearer, a divulger of lies,
and fate imaginations, is pieafed to hear his fan
tafticaffiifcourfe. I fay hypocrites, because those
persons of a diabolical disposition, disclose them
selves to you in a wonderful manner, by putting
on a fair face, and masking the heart with all the
favorable preteufions imaginable. They .appear
exceeding good, more fb, than one thati is your
peculiar friend. They are always ready to be
friend you, when in reality they are seeking to
do you an injury. Whereas one that Is truly
your friend, or a friend to humanity, will reprove
to your face. He confiders '' Open rebuke better
than Secret lover It is not his delight to make
fylifh and fcwdalous reports. He confiders it
as interruption to the peace and happiness of fo
ciety.' According to divine precepts, if a man
be offended with his brother, or fee any mifde
meaner in the conduct of his neighbor, be ought,
in(lead of running over the world to relate Lis
grievances, to converse with him perfonally—
perhaps these obstacles may be removed, and a
reconciliation once more subsist between the par-'
ties offended, and in lieu of animosity and hatred,
a basts be laid for permanent and lasting friend
fhip. But instead of the tale bearer being offend
ed, he is at all times pieafed when he can get a
bone to run with. Nothing delights him so much
as the meddling with the affairs of others. The
moment be hears any thing concerning his neigh
bor, that might if true be injurious to his reputa
tion; indead of using tenderness, or doing as be
.would willingly be done by, be is elevated to
make a breach in his character, and to fcandJize
his name as much as possible. The hypocrite al
ways has a mote in bis own eye, but never can
fee it. He can fee all other men's imperfections;
but never his own. Tbe tattler is a liar, and the
liar is a hypocrite, becanfe he deceiveth himfeli.
Therefore the tattler and the liar and the hypo
crite are all of one denomination and confeq,ent
1y belong to the devil's church. The devil is the
father of all liars, and they are his children. It
is easy to draw a conclusion wha; will be their
future destiny. « They shall have their part,(faith
John, the ReVelator) in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimllone ; which is the second
death." But let us proceed to (hew whence tat
tling and lying originates.
Itmuft undoubtedly issue from a weakness in
the underhanding and a corrupt heart, the latter
of which is from tbe devil. If not imbecil^y ,
the mental powers, why does the divider of falfe
imaginations appear so contemptible and ndicu,
lous ?—Men of found principles, endowed with
touch ftabilrty of foul, are not pieafed with busy.
ties, disturbers of the peace and tranquility of
good order and government. They abhor
a tale bearer; and took upon such a one, as not
fit to be trusted with any fecretuulefs it be a mat
ter of no importance. The principle of tattling
mud likewise proceed from, corrupt heart, „
tlofe mouth maketh a wife head p but one of,
depraved mind is far, very far, from being wife.
But another reason whence backbiting originates.
Those persons wh® are gratified to relate all they
hear, whether falfe or true, who are never so
well pieafed, as when they can meet with an op.
portunity to whisper and tfrfe contentions in
neighborhoods and societies, are the very persons
who are full of hvpocrify, but not able , difeern
It Or. rather because they are full of iniquity
they Would wish to make other people appear as
ridiculous as themselves. Many times they imag
ine falfely conceiting neighbor, and then pro
claim it for truth. They will assert frequently a
'thonfand falfehbods behind a man's back, when
not one dare they freak to his face. What is all
this but pr^fing in a manner directly in oppofi+
Poetical Department.

The Progress of Report.
REPORT is firft a pigmy small,
That shrewdly cautious, dares but crawl.
She whispers this, hints that, looks &y,
Sneaks on, and Jquints, and learns to lie ;
Gains as (he goes, grows bold and ftroug ; .
INor creeps, through fear, a pigmy long.
But soon we fee the monster rife;
Stride round, and swell to giant fixe ;
! With uplift hand, and accent loud
Fright and amuse th' aflonifh'd croud ;
Wake all the passions ;roufe to ttrife
Neighbor with neighbor, man with wife ;
Jar and derange the social spheres.
And set whole cities by the ears.
-Strange is her form. She runs, or flies
With spreading wings set full of eyes ;
Set full of ears her monstrous head ;
Os mouths and tongues, that talk one dead.
She watches, listens, day and night,
Pleas'd nothing lets with wrong than right,
Hears, conjures, vents her motley tales,
Harrangues, puffs, libels, dander,, rails ;
And, where permitted most to dwell,
Renders the neighborhood a hell.
THE WHEEL-BARROW.
This work is designed to difleminate Truth a

laws, large bodies of mercenary troops, &c. &c.
to subvert the firft principles of your government,
and render the Conilitution tfelefs, in order that
one more confident with their wifoeg mfeht be
reared up on its rirttiS. The characters and con

the pages of the Patriot, which may introduce
either to public view, unless their pursuits evince a
disposition to Tap the platform of Repnblicanifm,
when, every meas re will be taken to warn its
friends of the approaching danger, and all re'

^ TO REPUBLICANS.
Itick to the commandments of Cod ?—" That
shalt toe thy neighbor as thyJelf."—"Thou shalt
not bear falje witness againjt thy neighbor. Here
are two express commands from God, our great
lawgiver, which they violate. Inttead of loving
their neighbor as themselves ; they are fordoing
him eyery injury that lies in their power. In
dead of not bearing falfe witneb ; they are ever
ready to reproach and defame his character.
There is no person that escapes the tongue of
the slanderer. Men in authority are not free from
it. Ministers of the Gospel who are daily labor
ing for the good of fouls are not exempted, but
all are liable to be censured by people of a week
judgment and corrupt principles. Huw long
such people will remain a public curse and an
enemy to society, I will not pretend to deter
mine. But as lam an enemy to none but falre
hood and reproach, may contentions and ftrife
cease—may falfe and foolilh div ifing of the heart
be expelled, may good sentiments concerning
friends and acquaintances be eftablilhed in their
(lead, and talebearing be at an end, is the sincere
and molt ardent desire of the author.
A captain of a man of War, who had got a cir
cle round him in one of the rooms at Bath, whom
he was entertaining with some wonderful pheno
menon which he had seen at tea; when, looking
round, and perceiving a gentleman laugh, he
grew angry, and said, he did not believe him.
' Why, Sir, fays the gentleman, did you fee it ?
' Yes, 1 did, answered he. ' Well, if you saw it,
f id the gentleman, I will believe it, but 1 would
not if I had seen it myfelf:
The captain, however, soon after returned the
compliment ; tot the gentleman was one of those
who fliot with a long bow, or, in other words,
paid but little regard to truth, in his tallies of wit
arid humour ;-and having told a most confounded
story, the captain gave a hem ; upon which the
other made up to him; 'and so, captain, fays he,
you won't believe this ?" ‘ Why, yes, fays the
captain, I will to oblige you ;*-but I Would not
believe juch another lie for/ any man upon the face
of the earth:
“Where Liberty dwells, there is my Ceuntry.'\

earned ; indeed, he said many good things :—He
often told his female friends, that % dilligent &

Since women for tea forfook Winning and knitting; ,
