CURIOU SANECDOTE.
AN elderly, honest, and very religious man,
who now resides in West-Jersey, some
years ago took a voyage to Nova-Scotia,
where he was detained on bufirefs for eighteen
months. Disliking greatly the climate and the
foil, he frequently wondered for What particular
life that country was created, as his pious prin
ciples led him fully to believe that nothing was
created in vain. He thought and reflected, but
thought and reflected to no purpose ! 'till Time,
the great revealer of secrets, has abundantly to
bis fatisfa&ion, removed every difficulty, by dis
closing that Nova Scotia was created, and Speci
ally designed by an over-ruling Providence, for
the dismal habitation of those pests to society,
the Tories, Refugees, and Ingrates of America,
where on ground as rocky as their hearts, may
they long continue, unacquainted with, and for
ever secluded from the air peculiarly enjoyed by
the sons and daughters of freedom.
