. On SCANDAL.'
WHO will inftrua me to endure
An evil which admit! no cure ?
Or bow this evil can be borne,
Which breeds both envy, spite and scorn ?
Bare Innocence is no Support,
When you are try'd in Scandal's court—
If you stand high in wealth or wit,
All others, who inferior fit,
Conceive themfelvcs in confcieoce bound
To join and drag you to the ground—
Your altitude offends the eyes .
Ofthofe who want the power to rife ;
The World, a willing stander by,
Inclines to aid the specious lie—
They fay they would not do you wrong,
But— all appearances are fireng.
Yet, whence proceeds the weight we lay
On what detraaing people fay ?
For, let mankind difeharge their tongues
In venom, till they burst their lungs,
Their utmost malice cannot make
Your head, or tooth, or finger, ache ;
Or spoil your shape, distort your face,
Or put one feature out of place :
Nor will you find your fortune fink,
By what they speak, or what they think :
Nor will ten hundred thousand lies
Make you less virtuous, just or wife.
The most cffeaual way to baulk
Their malice, is—to let tbem tclk.

WOE unto you, when all men speak
well of you !— -Nevertheless, do not take
occasion hence to speak evil of your neigh
bor, for fear allfhouldfpeak well of him
—but, remember the command. Judge
not—again,,ou are commanded to Love
your enemies ; Further, to Do good
to them which hate you ; and moreover
to Bless them that curse you Now,
if all men, and all women, old andyoung,
would Jlud, these things, the, would fo on
demonstrate how much preferable Prac
tical Religion is to mere profeffional.
Let us all, with a humble spirit and meek,
knowing that we are all of us fallible,
and like unto a house built upon sand,
hence let us all learn, in the true spirit
of Charit, and Brotherl, Love, to Pray
for them who defpitefully use us; let
us learn to forgive one another; let us
seek more for the beam than the mote ;
and above all, if we would have others do
us good, let us remember to bridle the
tongue, and as we would men ffiould
do unto us, let us not forget to do also
unto them likewise. And what if Ibe
ajinner, and thus admonijh ,ou ; fill
the Truths which Itell,ou, are neverthe
less interring ; and what if I giveyou
them in a newspaper, the, are jnone the
less important. The, are certainly good
for all ; the, are intended for all, and
for the " Moral Preacher" amon^ the
rest. It is no matter who he is, 'if he
and ,ou who read his admonition, will
conftantl, bear it in mind, that No man
is perfe& ; that with what judgment ye
judge, ye shall be judged ! that every
tree is known by his own fruit; that
of thorns men do not gather figs——
finally, that we must be Practically good,
otherwise we musf all as the corrupt tree,
for, A good man, out of the treasure
of his heart, bringeth forth that which
is good; and an evil man, out of the
evil treasure of his heart, bringeth forth
that which is evil: for of the abund
ance of the heart his mouth fpeaketh.
Reader ! who I am, is immaterial; re
member what I fa, to you,' intereJis your
own happiness here and hereafter ; and
I again caution,ou, in the words of a sa
cred personage, Judge not, that ye be
not judged.
IN the early settlement of this coun#
try, when the fields and meadows, nay,
the populous cities which we now en#
joy, were wildernesses beaten only by
the foot of savages, lived an amiable
pair, whose names shall be disguised
under those of William and Mary.
Happiness seemed to have sheltered
their cot with her wing, and plenty a
bounded their stores. A smiling in
fant on whom the parents doated to
excess, was the pledge of their mutual
loves. Their prayers afeended with
the beams of morning to heaven for
its preservation, and the shades of the
evening witnessed the fervor of their
devotion. Their lives glided peaces
fully on, and their happiness seemed
incapable of interruption. In the so
lemn stillness of the night, Mary was
suddenly roused from her sleep by the
found of a light step approaching the
bed. She started from her slumbers,
and beheld the shadowy form of an In
dian, with his tomahawk extended ov#
er the head of her sleeping husband.
She caught her infant to her bosom,
and with a convulsive outcry made
her escape. Flying from the place,
she heard the voice of her husband in
the most wringing tone of anguish, ex
claiming, " Save the child ! Oh, save
the child!" It was in vain that the
neighbors flew to the assistance of the
husband; the bed was covered with
blood, 'but no trace of him was to be
found. Searches were made in every
part of the country to no effect ; and
enquiry was rendered still more un
fuccefsful. With a heart bleeding at
every pore, Mary retired to a remote
part of the country, and indulged her
felf in undisturbed lamentation. Her
most intimate friends knew not the
place of her retirement, and the corns
mon opinion was that she was dead.
When the firft delirium of anguish was
over, she relapsed into a composed &
fettled state of melancholy, that spreads
over the bloom of youth the deadly
paleness of despair: Her only relief
was to trace in the countenance of the
boy the lineaments of his father. She
could contemplate with a melancholy
fatisfadion the proficiency of the in
fant, and difeern the father's virtues in
the blossom. While he was one day
prattling in the lap of his mother, a
beggar entered the room, imploring
charity and assistance. Mary beheld
his emaciated form, his ragged vest
ment, and her heart was touched with
compassion. She was about to admin
ister relief, when she beheld a portrait
suspended by a golden chain from his
neck. "It is thus, said she, that you
beggars tamper with the simplicity of
women. That golden chain and por#
trait which you now wear, was proba
bly pilfered by you from some person
who is now lamenting the loss ; to you
it is of no value, to them it may be of
value inestimable." At the conclusion
of this speech, the stranger burst into
tears, and exclaimed; " You do me
the greatest injustice ; insult the rich
and the powerful, they may revenge it,
but spare the miseries of the poor ; the
heart that is bleeding under all the ar

rows of misfortune, is still alive to the
goads and flings of reproach. This,
madam, is the portrait of a wife, whom
I loved dearer than life. These tears, madam,
attest the fipcerity of my remark."
Mary examined the piaure— she fainted a
way, and awoke to life and transport in the
amrs of her husband. It is almost unneceffaiy to
mention, that William, instead of being mur
dered, was merely held in bondage by the In
dians ; that he made his escape, and had the
address to preserve this piaure from the search
of the savages ; and that this was his only con
solation until be found himfelf in possession of
the Original.
