From the MIRROUR.
o N PR EDESTINATION.
MR. Russell. By giving the J clewing
a place in jour MIRROUR, you will
oblige yours, A customer.
all things succeed,
Because they're decreed,
And immutable impulses rule us ;
Then praying and preaching,
And all such like teaching,
Is nought but a plan to befool us.
If destiny and fate.
Guide us this way and that,
As the coachman with hits guides bis borfes ;
There's no man can tbay,
But all go the right way,
As the liars in their different coorfes.
But if we may will,
To move, or fit Ilill,
As belt faits our own inclination ;
'Tis an evil mittake,
That ministers make,
To lay it to Predestination."
Ifthis be the way,
As some preachers fay,.
That all things were order'd by fate ;
I'll not ipend my pence,
To pay for nonknfe,
Ifinothing will alter my date.
If preachers were wife,
Taeir int'reft they 'd prize,
And lay aside Predestination ;
Then they'd live by their art.
And not preach to a part,
Bat preach up a free proclamation.
That all if they choose,
May enjoy the glad news.
May embrace Jesus Christ and Salvation :
Then with all he mutt pass
For a dull, fenfeefs ass,
-Who depends upon Predestination.

A. PENURIOUS Rertor ofa good
benefice, near B d f-d, infilling cn his
tithe in kind, contrary to the cuflom of the
parish, rather difguited an old farmer,
who kegt a quantity of bees ; the farmer
wrapt up one of his hives in a cloth with
the bees,and took it to the Rector's house,
and, desiring to speak with him, was in
troduced into his study, and told the Rec
tor he had ten hives,and had brought him
one in kind, 2nd then turned out the bees
in the Reftor's delk, and retreated ; but
the bees, having no refpe& for the cloth,
almost stung the Parson to death, before
he could get affiftanct.
J^/IrS Macaulay having published
her Loose Thoughts, Mr. Garrick was a£k

a lady to choose ? by no means, replied

Thoughts, the better.

THE Predfient of the United States
having, in pursuance of an aft of
Congress, passed May 9th, 1794, requeu
ed that a detachment of 5544 of the mi
jiiia of this State officers included, be
organized,armed, and equipped according
to law, and held in readiness to march at a
moments warning—the Commander in
Chief has apportioned the fame to the fe
veral,divifions in manner following :
Major General Peabody is directed to
furnish from the firft diviGon 1075 of the
militia, including officers.
Major General Dow is directed to far
nifh from the second division 945 of the mili
tia, including officers.
Major General Shepherd is directed to
furnith from the third division >525 cf the
militia, including officers.
The officers must be in the fame ratio to
the privates as is efablifhed by the aft of

Any independent corps of cavalry, ar
tillery or infantry will be accepted as part
of the aforefaid proportions, provided they
Ihall voluntarily engage as corps in the
service.

The MEDLEY.
The Major Generals refpeaivdy will
immediately issue such orders as may be
neteffary for having the proportions assign
ed as above to their several divisions, or
ganized, armed and equipped according
to law, and in complete reaainefs to march
at a moment's warning.
This detachment,if called into actual ser
vice, will not be held to serve a longer
time in any one tour than three months af
ter their arrival at the place of rendez
vous ; and during the time of their ser
vice, betides their pay and other allow
ances, which will be the fame as the troops
on the military eftablifhmentof the United
States, they will receive at the rate of I
dollar and 66 cents for eloathing per
month.
The Commanderin Chief thinks it his
duty to call on the officers of the militia,
to exert therofelves in their several Rations,
so that the whole militia oftlrs date may be
in readiness for the defence cf our common
dountry.- Peace maintained on terras hon
ourable, is to be moll ardently deiired, but
at the fame time the alarming circamflan
ces of War in Europe, the injuries done
our commerce, and other circumstances,
make it our duty to be in a complete con
dition to preserve and defend ourfelvcs a
gainst every injury to which we may be
liable as a nation.
A PENNY saved is a penny earned,
fays poor Richard ; and so faysthe
miser ; aye, and the.libetiine too, when
there's no music heard at the shake of the
purlc. Strange that Mr. Spendthrift's
prudence should flep up, just at the exit oi
his case; but he'slike half of the world,
with whom prudence and property were
never joint tenants Make every mo
cher'a fort face the grind&one, fay the arif

it would be catting pearls before twine ;
obedience is the foul of o/der, and feveri

Richard makes a parody on this Language
—make every mother's ion pale with po
verty, quoth prudent Dick ; th- -world
have plenty of cafn! it's caking guineas
into the ocean. Adversity is the fthool of
wealth,and want creates invention. Take
warning, ye knights of the careless purse !

The officers and soldiers have now an
opportunity of Shewing their patriotism,
love for cur common country, and a sacred
regard for the great privileges we have
enjoyed as a nation—and for which many
of them, as well a: others, have heretofore
fought and bled.
When the Commander in Chief takes a
retrofpe&ive view cf the late revolution,
coifiders the many ferviecs done by the
militia of Newharaplhirc, and in particular
some aßiois of great importance to the
nation, he cannot enter; tin a doubtoftheir
