y&e an elegant dinner last Sat
urday to Dr. Priestley in to
ken of their personal regard, as
well as refpe& for his Philosoph
ical difeoveries, and ufeful la
bours in the application of them.
The toasts drank were appropri
ate to the objed in view, and ap
peared to have the good fortune
of being unexceptionable. It was
pleasing to fee all diftinaions of
religious feds and political opin
ion buried in the pleasing senti

Dr. Belknap.—While Mr. Jef
ferson is abused by the high ton
ed federalifts for his religious
tenets, merely because they are
founded on philanthrophy and
benevolence, it is pleasing to ob
serve the catholicism exhibited by
the late Dr. BelknaP, in his
" Century Sermon," preached be
fore the Historical Society, 23d
of Oa. 1792, —Page 40, speak
ing of the detestable doarine of
a test a& he proceeds, " Our an
cestors in New England establish
ed a test, before any was enaded
by the British parliament: and
though it has long since been ab
rogated, yet the idea of an exclu
sive right to the honors and emol
uments of government, by the
prevailing religious denomina
tion, continued till very lately.
Some of us can remember the
. time when it was thought a fuf
fitient objection to a man's being
chosen to a feat in the legislature
that he belonged to the Episcopal
church. And even at this en
lightened period, I blush to own,
that, by the Constitution of this
Commonwealth, the Jew, the
Mahometan, the Gento, and the dij
ciple of Confucius, are exclud
ed FROM OUR PUBLIC COUNCILS,
be they ever so good citizens,
whilst men, who for convenience
call themselves Christians, though
deeply tinged with infidelity, and
destitute of moral principles, may
be freely admitted." —These are
the Sublime sentiments of one
of the most reputable clerical
characters, which have ornament,
ed our country, since the adoption
of the State Constitution. How
infignificant must the revilers of
MrJefferfon appear in opposition
to such dignified liberality !

[Continued.]
According to the custom of
thole warlike times attention was
principally given to bodily exer-!
cites, and recourse had to every
means adapted to increase the
strength and agility bestowed by
nature. Arms were given the
youths proportioned to their age,
which were exchanged for oth
ers stronger and heavier, as they
became able to use them with fa
cility. The ditches they leaped
were gradually widened, the dis
tances they ran lengthened and
the weight of the armor they wore
on horseback increased. By at
tentively observing these grada
tions, they acquired all that art
and exercise can add to strength.
Two years had Scarcely elapsed
when they might have already,
entered the lifts with the most fa
mous knights, and perhaps have
come off conquerors.,
In the mean time Elvize; urf
der the infpeaion of the coun-,

charms and feminine accomplish
ments. Her extreme youth pre
vented the reflection that her
beauty might one day become
dangerous. She was permitted
to share in the more tranquil a
mulements of Roger and Roberr,
—and it was even observed with
pleasure, that the two youths,
animated with refpea and esteem
for her, redoubled their emula
tion when an opportunity pre
sented of asking and obtaining
her preference.
In the lessons they were taught,
it was continually repeated that
gallant knights should incessant
ly employ their utmost efforts to
merit the admiration and esteem
of the ladies. To inspire them
with the desire of pleasing, and
add more value to the rewards
bestowed on them, the prizes
were always adjudged by the
counters; Who sometimes resign
ed that office to Elvize, who con
stantly entwined the crowns of
flowers, and formed the elegant
designs which were presented to
the viaor. Roger, filled with'
generous ardour, exerted a|l his
strength and all his address to me
rit the prize, and his heart palpi
tated with joy vvhen hUucceed
ed; but it was the love of glory
alone which animated him ; he
did not yet feel how much the
hand which bestowed the reward
;could add to its value and to its
For some time the counted had
neglected to cultivate her musical
and other ornamental talents,
though she still occasionally ex
ercised them for her amuftment.
She was perfectly well acquaint
ed with the hiftory of her fami
ly, and that of the country in
which her relatives occupied a
high station. She knew all the
names of the knights who had
rendered themselves illustrious by
heroic exploits. The ladies of
her time rarely pofleffed knowl
edge so extensive, and she was
considered as an extraordinary
woman; but those who were most
frequently in her company, and
her female attendants, conceived
that she Singled somewhat of;
haughtiness with the dignity suit
able to her rank.
Elvize was as yet too young
to make ^any observations on the
charaaer of the countess. She
palled the greatest part of her
time with the woman who waited
on her ; and was not permitted
to come into the pretence of her
patrons without being called,—
She was rigorously reftriaed to
the ceremonial prescribed by the
distance between her and her
mifttefs, and accustomed never
to approach her but with the!
greatest refpea. But Elvrte,l
considering these duties as indif.l
penfable, fulfilled them with fo|
good a grace, and Showed so greatl
a desire and so much assiduity to
pleaie, that the countess was per-|
sealy well fatisfied ; and remark
ed with pleasure the expression
of joy which shone in the charm
ing countenance of the amiable
child at the slightest mark of her
favour.
