I left th, Squire, and, laughing Oy'd
You lee, Sir, I'm in hatte.
{ HAVE remarked ' with melancholy
reffedion, the diversity of the society in
this city-'-chat nat m ,re than three or four
seem in the bond of frjerdihip with each
other. When any town becomes so local
(either thro' pride pr ostentation) as to
preclude the meritorious, and indignify
those who have an equal claim to merit,
because they are not <qual in property,
will ever create misery to themfeives, and
gr. the eyes of & £>lid ddl-e^rer, place
Inch wiTdions to the account of ignorance
and vanity.
Th, art to prefer ye a general warmth of
friendship, and to in^eafe' the glow of
S as excellent a maxim as ever offer
ed con Ration to rhe bread of rectitude.—
In our c.^ecr cf life, we find experience
conunuUiy Viewing to us, -hilt to deal
justly, ard to <ct fairly, aie the only ways
to acquire the good things of this world,
and or obtain that peace of mind, which
fopericr to the little ills with, which a vi
cious world is filed, carfails on ft/>e weak
phalanx, and defy its farce. To what tn:
the innate evidence of this truth, can we
attribute the fayiegs and feelings of chil
d4l||~fo b ^idg right conduQ ? They ear
'f#fe Impressed upon them an idea, that
defragiiug even in pla? # will not be prol
p^roq! As mankind have advanced in
life# qfey ^ave invariably seen, that the
gwadfiggaifted even by wayward methods
w'hh&ff not©.her illegal, or in the ever
of tlfe Werfd, diGeputable, have suddenly
dissipated, and scarce left a benefit hehiac
them ; while the property acquired by ho
meft industry, frugality and attention, has
proved its liability, by the bit ffi gs it hath
entailed, and of the profped of transmit
ting it, unimpaired to posterity. The
means used, the pains taken, and the plans
projected to procure an unfair advantage,
often coll more labor and'ftady,than woula
be necessary to acquire double as much in
a reputable and hanejl manner. See the
ingenuity esercifed by those who are the
objects of legal puniflunent. Observe,
wih what mechanical art and almost Scien
tific genius, they will contract machines,
and d/vife plans for wronging feciety, and
robbing other people of their Lonelily ac
quired proftrty. Half tire talents exerci
fedin ^reputable way, would fecare them
honor, and fortune ; indead of which pov
erty always haunts, arid disgrace is fare
to overtake them. The evidences of thefi
truths are continually to be seen : And as
the 6'll imipreffions made on the mind of
yomh are favorable ; it mull be attributed
to unaccountable inattention,that they are
so little regarded or that injustice, fraud,
and over reaching are riot baniffied from
the world, Ye Parents ! endeavor to
Brengtheo these fid! impressions on your
children —pant them deep, refresh them
wrh the dew of admonition ; nurture
them at they grow into yeas, and secure
them, that they may wiih^ard the mil

The MONITOR.
“BE JUST, AAD FEAR NOT,"_
F r om the Middle, "ex GAZETTE.
Mr. Printer,
universal afiaicn anting our virtuous
neighbours, is to consider what they once
were, what they are, without any retro
fpeftive reflection upon their abjed cir
&tnlances ; that by an ungoverned
tongue, toe cement is broken, and the
bonds of concordance,the beauty of God's
delegation to man, is dwindled into vain
pageantry.'
The worthy are worthy to be praised ;
and if to flrf
A man, fame man!, errors fall.
Look in his face and forget them all.
Sarcastic hints disseminates families,makes
society local and baneful, both as it ref
ped2 bufinpfs and friendly intercourse.
Artful and ambiguous hints ere of an
equal force,as tho' it were the adualtruth;
and when colored with the blocks of pity,
bears a double weight. Itis Lid that pi
t, is allied to love. If love is to be paid
through the word pity — Pity may find a
better source for its gratitude than I am
willing to receive. Pity is a word—Mo
ney is another thing.
From ill-natured jests too many diffev
erations pf families are created, and a mo
mentary vein of loose conversation, calls
tn obliquity upon the objects, and diffev
ersfamiiy connections,and from the friend
ly falutatlon defeends to the demure cour
tesy.
(^APT. Crabtree, who arrived a(
Frenchman's bay, and is at Portland,
gives the following ex<K,rdmary account I
Nothing is more inflammatory than
tale-bearing, among neighbors, to break
up an amity between families, easily said,
but hard the reparation. Gossiping tales,
expreflions, tho' seemingly harmless when
drh let fall, receive their venom from the
channel thro' which they are conveyed ; &
by concluding at fecund hand, we are go
verned, not by faditfeif, but the appre
henfijns, humors, paffians, foibles, and
even wantonness of other people. Thole
who hear ill-natured tales of a neighbor,
(hould well fean the character of him that
relates it, least there may be a gross raif
reprefentation.
fylß. NOTRIGHT was bred a me
chanic ; his father left him, besides his
trade, a final! farm, on which, with a
moderate share of labour, he might have
gotten a good living : But he was not fat
i^tied. He calculated the profits of trade.
The retailers, said he, go^to New-York
and purchase goods on credit , they fell
them at 25 or 50 pr cent, profit ; they fend
produce to made remittance, on which
they likewise make a profit : They must,
arid do grow rich amazing fall ! I'll go
into trade.—Down to New-York he went
—purchased a large Hore of goods—put
on his ruffled ftirt, and opened store in the
proper mercantile take; his family like
wise soon became people of fashion, and
commenced good cartomers to the ftore.<—
He went rapidly on in business, advterti
fes pempoufly in the papers—built art el
egant houfe—.enlarged his store and cut
houfes—purchafed Itallions and jacks——
was chosen to offices in the town —became
a great rich man, and the people were
aftonilhed at his prosperity.—But lo ! the
New- York merchants - became clamourous
about certain old accounts of feme years
(landing ; on examining those accounts,
.here was found more than thirty To's to
one By. On examining his accounts, at
home, he found the case quite different,
there were more than thirty Bv's to one
To. (By the way this was the firft time
• that he ever examined ay of his accounts.)
He was famewhat furprized—What Ihcold
he de ? He borrowed money at 12 per
cent, per annum interest—contrasted new
debts to pay old ones—took up more
goods than usual, and fold them for less
than prime coll—went into more branches
of trade than before—eftablilhed manu
fadures, and seemed to be a greater and
richer man than ever. But alas ! a certain
little man had the impudence,one morning,
to clap this great man on the Ihoulder, and
pronounce some very fancy words. Here
ended his career. Hiaeftate was deliver
ed into the hands of trustees for the benefit
of his creditors, who, it is said will receive
ten fh-idiugs on the pound. Mr. Notright
is row employed making shoes.—Query,
had he not better have always been thus
employed.

SEA MONSTER.
Finland, (Mass.) Aug. 3.
of a sea serpent, the authenticity of which
may be depended o :—
, On the 20th of June last. being on
my passage from the W. Indies, in the
morning, having just made Mount- Defan
island, distant nearly ten leagues, 1 fad
denly got light of a serpent of a moll enor
mous size, swimming on the furface of the
ocean, its head elevated about fix or eight
feet out of wafer, rather prone forward.—
Tho part of the body which was out of wa
ter, I judged to be about the size of a bar
rel in circumference, but the head larger,
having some resemblance of a horse's. Ac
cording to the most accurate computation
which 1 made in my mind, of his length,!
think that it could not be left than from 55
to 60 feet and perhaps longer. Th.
part es the body which was not elevated,
but of which I had a difiind view several
times, was larger than the part cut of wa
ter. The body of a dark brown. I was
within two hundred yards of it near ar
hour ; During which time, as it difeover
ed no inclination to moled us, myfelf am.
the whole crew observed it with the minu
test a tention ; nor was its attraction less
;fixed on us. The eye was perfectly black,
Iha pand piercing. I was so near it as to
observe clearly that there were no signs or
external appendages to the body ; but
but that its motion was by th: writhing of
the body, like other serpents. During
the time it was with us, several flocks 0
birds flew near, which it eyed very nar
rowly, I observed in it the greatest agil
ity and quicknefi of motion."
There is no doubt but this is one of two
which have been seen to these parts. All
accounts agree refpeaing their date and
appearance. Two of them (perhaps th<
fame) were once seen on the Ihore of th<
Cranberry islands, but immediately tock
to the water on being discovered. Thef
are the r ft ever seen in our seas, that w
have any account of, tho' they have bee,
seen on the coast of Norway,more than-ioc
feet in length.
