TWO GUINEAS REWARD.
n AN away, a Negro Man named PRIMUS, about
" twenty-five years old, five teet fix inches high,
stoops lemarkably as he walks; has thick ugly lips, the
under one hanging very much ; had on when he went
away, a short green Whitney jacket and corderoy
breeches, and carried with him a pair of long brown
woollen trowfers, and white Russia drab coat, which
he probably may put on. He formerly belonged to
Sir Egerton Leigh and John Bremar, and lately to
John Wilson, of whom the Subferiber bought him ;
and as Mr. Wilson lived at or near Camden, when the
British came here in 1780, it is probable the said negro
may go up to that part of the country, he having con
traded an acquaintance there. Two Guineas reward
will be given, and all reasonable charges paid, to any
person delivering the said negro to the Warden of the
Workhouse, or to the subscriber ; and the utmost
rigour of the law will be inflifted on conviction of any
person harbouring the laid negro.'

Cbarkfan, Feb. 16, 1784, [,„
" A cordial drop heaven in orit cup has thrown,
^ To make the bitter draught of life go down :
" For, after all; we matt with' R——e own,
" The cordiril drop of life is Love alone."
TT is an undoubted truth, that marriage is, In irfelf,
f an inftitutiori extremely defifable: we well know
it to have been of divine appointment, to have been
of the firft ordinance, and to be the only foundation
of all the tender ties of relation and fotiety. It can
certainly never be indifferent; when happy it ' is of all
others infinitely the molt amiable ; full of the sweetest
of all domestic commerce, tonftancy, inviolable truth,
disinterested counsel, and various other particulars, of
which every one has its attendant pleasure : and fare
1, that true fiiefidfhip, firicere esteem, and real virtue,
which exist in the married state, ought ever to be en
titled to our highest esteem.
Mutual love is tl^ faireft arid firft-borri of all the
social affections implanted in the human breast; this
affection, designed td foften humanity, and sweeten
every human enjoyrti nt; has three grand sources, na
tural inltifiCt, facial affection, and the union of th@
sexes. These all unite, ind complete the happiuefs
of the sons of men, were tftey wife ertough to know
arid pursue their own interest. 'What a charming
ftene of felicity has the gracious author of Gur being
dune for us!
Friendfllip between man arid Hah, However similar
in their tempers, and however clplely united by in+
tereft; wants (bm&hing to quicken its vivacity, an 4
give a telifh and poignaricy to social enj yment; but
an Uniorf between perf ns of different fex^s, founded
on those three grand principles, concentrates every
mundane enjoyment, gratifies ever, rational wish, is
the grand cordial of lite, Hid that lenient balm which
cherdhes hope, allays distress, Litigates pain; and
foften^ every misery to which humanity is fubjett.
The Greeks ana Rorrians, though destitute of the
ndble and exalted views of fu unty, disgraced un
married people, while they heaped honours and privi
leges upon those who entered into that state. Should
it be urged that the cares of a family divert him from
the neCeffary attention due to business, may it not be
answered that the wife will take off abundance of the
houfhold cares; and are not his effect's within ddors
much fafer in her hands! than in those of a stranger or
(ervant ? And must not this ease him of many dirtraCt
ing reflections? It may be added, that marriage will
animate us to greitt actions, that may serve as exam
ples to out children, arid ft fleet honour On our pos
terity. Did marriage hinder Ciceto from being the
greatest orator of the Rge. Pythagoras from applying
himfilf to philosophy, or Socrates to virtue? Did
Solon, when he.married, renounce his study or strict
morality I Or was he on this account more wretched or
less wife? One good action, we find, is sometimes
fufficient to ennoble a whole race; and Epaminondas;
the Theban general, had reafori to fay, that he could
not leave a better race to his fucceffurs, than the con
quest of the LeCturi. TO maintain a family, does not
make a man abjed; blit more considerate ; it does not
retrain fortitude, but rafhrtefs ; for surely it is a very
animating motive to know thrit we have for our fpe&a
tors a wife and family, who mult partake of our glory
or otir shame. There is one peculiar advantage at
tending this state of life; namely, that those who have
the happiness to be blessed with an amiable partner for
life, need not seek for either pleasure or amusement
abroad ; the conversation of an agreeable, virtuous
wife, and the entertainment of innocent prattling
children, will always afford a most exquisite fatisfac
tion; arid from these relaxations a man will return to
study or business with a mind serene and easy. The
mutual good offices and endearments seen in a well
regulated family; afford a very pleasing entertainment
even to an observing itringer. She the kind and un
diffembling concern of the father and mother for each
other's welfare! fee them both occupied in planning
their childrens happiness, and regulating their conduct !
Behold the children officious to do every thing they
think may be grateful to their parents !
Do we not propose to find in the person we fix our
affections on, one who may contribute to lessen and
divide our tares, and make life ,fs more easily? Do
we not intend increasing and multiplying our species,
and leaving sons and daughters who may be a strength
and ornament to our particular families and to the
community ?
It is indeed observable, that the best things, when
corrupted and abused, often prove the worst ; and
though marriage was certainly designed to relieve our
fblitude, and promote our mutual interest and happi
ness, yet, if when we are entering upon the greatest
concern of our whole lives, we will use no caution,
no deliberation ; if wisdom and difereti m have no
share in the tranfa&ion ; what can be expeded but
endless broils and contentions, insuperable aversion
and antipathy, and dark gloomy profpeCts of latitude
and irrevocable woe, fir worie than even folitue'e
itfelf? He who marries without consulting interest cr
disposition, but hurries on the perpetual Tackles, sti
mulated only by appetite, and actuated by a brutal
desire, which he at any rate wants to gratify, will
surely have time to repeat the rash match, and grieve
at a disappointment which was the only portion he
had reason to expert. It should, therefore, be cup,
Mr. MILLER,
lUnderftand the Legislature have in contemplation
the imposition of a Tax on Batchelors. If any
amongst this miserable description of men should
want arguments to persuade theinfelves to (han such a
national itigma as a Public Tax for such a pufpofe,
which, like a singer-post, will stamp them urMfefal
members 0/ the Commonwealth, I beg their acceptance
of the following Paper. To the character of Female
EXCELLENCE described in it as constituting the fummum
bonum of Marriage; no women in the world have a
fairer claim to the Palm, than the lovely Ladies of
South-Carolina.
