ELEGANT EXTRACT.
FROM DARWIN.
"No radiant pearl, which crested Fortune wears,
No gem, that twinkling bangs from Beauty's ears,
Not the bright Rars, which night's blue arch
• adorn,
Nor riling funs that gild the vernal morn,
Shine with such luftre as the tear that flows
Down virtue's manly cheek for others woes."
--„ "The Sldzt, in chains, on fopplicating
knee,,
Spreads his wide arms, and lifts his eyes to thee ;
With hunger pale, with wounds and toil opprefs'd,
“ Are we not Brethren ?" furrow choaks the rest ;
—Air .' bear to heaven upon the azure flood
Their tender cries! Earth ! cover not their
blood !"

Such is the importance of virtue---Of
what consequences therefore is it that we
praaife it 1 There is no argument or mo
rive, in any refpeA, fitted to influence a rea
sonable mind, which does not call us to this.
One virtuous disposition of foul is preferable
to the greatest natural accomplishment and
abilities, and of more value than all the trea
sures in the world.
If you are wife, then, study virtue, and
contemn every thing that can come in com
petition withit. Remember, that nothing
elfc deserves one anxious thought or with.
Remember, that this alone is honor, glory,
wealth, and happiness. Secure this, and you
secure every thing. Lose this, and all is loft.

OF all the difpolitions and habits which
lead to political profoerity, religion and mo
rality are indifpenfible supports : in vain,
would that man claim the tribute of patri
otism, who fliould labor to subvert these
great pillars of human happiness, these firm
ed props of the duties of men and citizens.
The mere politician, equally with the pious
man ought to refpe& and to cherish them.
A volume could not trace all their connec
tions with private and public felicity. Let
it limply le asked where is the security, for
property, for reputation, for life, if the sense
of religious obligation desert the oaths, which
are the instruments of investigation in courts
of justice ; and let us with caution indulge
the supposition, that morality can be main
tained without religion. Whatever may be
conceded to the influence of refined educa
tion on minds of peculiar ftrudure ; reason
and experience both forbid us to expe& that
national morality can prevail in exclusion of
religious principle. Washington.
NEW INVENTION.
The Improved Sawmill, for which the
fubferiber has obtained a Patent.
THIS improvement saves the lawyer
much labour, and the work is also much
more expeditous. Ihe log being llabbed,
turned down, and the saw darted, the whole
operation proceds without further manual
aid ; for the inflant the cut is finifhed, the
log moves back, and at the fame time is
guaged.to utmost exadnefs by the machine
ready for another cut in two thirds of a mi
nute. The saw resumes its a&ion in the
Jog and thus moves in alternate succession
until the whole be cut up in any given di
mensions at which time the mill Ihuts up if
required, or at any number of cuts for which
the sawyer prepares, for his attendance is un
necefery.
Any person or persons inclining to pur
chase the privilege of erecting this valuable
and simple machine, or of adding the im
provement, which may readily be affixed to
any saw mill already in life, will please to
apply to the fubferiber at Weft Brandywine
Bridge, on the Philadelphia and Lancader
turnpike road, Pennsylvania, or to Doctor
Thornton, commissioner, city of Washing
ton. MOSES COATES.
Washington, April 5, 1802.
VIRTUE is of intrinsic value and good
desert, and of indispensable obligation ; not
the creature of will, but necessary and im
mutable ; not local or temporary, but of e
qual extent and antiquity with the Divine
wind; not a mode of sensation but everlafl
ing truth ; not dependant on power, but the
guide of all power. Virtue is the founda
tion of honor and esteem, and the source of
all beauty, order and happiness in nature.
It is what confers value on all the other en
dowments and qualities of a reasonable be
ing, to which thevought to be absolutely
subservient ; and W^fout which, the more
eminent they arc, the'more hideous deformi
ties, and the greater j^rfes they become.
The use of it isibpt confined to any one
flage of our exjffen^e, or to any particular
situation we can be in, but reaches through
all the periods and circumfiances of our be
ings. Many of the endowments and talents
we now possess, and of which we are tooapt
to be proud, will cease entirely with the pre
lent state ; but this will be our ornament and
dignity in every future state, to which we
may be removed. Beauty and wit will die,
learning will vanish away, and all the arts
of life be soon forgot ; but virtue will re
main forever.
