PLEASING HISTORY.
The Lady of the Cave.
[continued.]
HER commands were no sooner
given than obeyed. Two large
candles were immediately lighted,
and I had a full profpeaof every
thing about me; but the lady
herfelf for a time engrossed my
attention too much to regard any
thing beside. She was not what
one may call a perfeft beauty,
but yet much more lovely than
many I have seen, who are Cule
bra ted for luch. Her age seem
ed not to exceed eighteen, and,
as Iwas afterwards informed, she
had not yet attained to that ; but
she was tall, admirably well sha
ped, had a fine complexion, and
somewhat of an uncommon vi
vacity it her eyes, which gave a
luftre to her whole frame. She
had on a robe de chambre, of
white luftring, (hot with silver,
which doubtless it was that had
acquired her the name of the
White Devil, and allo made thole
who happened to fee her in the
sunshine fay, (he had the glitter
of a star. 1 could not Aelp smil
ing at the thoughts of what had
been told me; which (he taking
notice of, I frankly related to her
the rumours her appearance had
occasioned, the fright the coute
try people were in, and all the
motives of that curiosity she had
been io good as to pardon. She
laughed excessively at it, but al
lured me that though ihe ought
to be lorry for having been the
cause of so jnuchterror and con
fufion, yet it would be i^poffible
for to regret it very much, if good
nature would excite me to a con
tinuance of thole visits my curi
osity had begun; and to engage
you to this aft of tompamon,
pursued ihe, I mpft entreat you
CONSTANCY in DEATH.
A SONG, lung by an Hindu Woman, on the
point of being burned with her husband :
translated from the Hindu language, and
originally publifr-d in Calcutta.
HASTE I haste! With speed the sacred pile
Prepare, which Shall my form conftime.
At death in Caffah's arms I'llimile.
And joyful meet so ble& doom.
With him a lite of love I've past,
With him a death of love I'll die ;
On his cold corfe my body cast.
In his dear arms all pain defy.
When Caffah liv'd, with throbs of joy
I law love sparkle in bis eyes ;
Nought could our happintfs destroy,
While forth we heav'd love's tender sighs;
Endearing (miles, and kindest deeds
Still made us bless each happy day, ,
But ah ! no joy in life focceeds
To me, it Csflah be away.
No more to gaze on his lov'd charms.
To be no more his faithful care:
The cbje& of his food alarms,
The partner of hisfruga! fare,
Dotted thought ! with joy I mount
The Acred pile by me prepar'd,,
I je yful die on love's account,
And Brama than my zeal reward.
In the fair form of spotless doves,
Should Brama chafe, we still may live,
Wander o'erjoy'd through verdant groves,
And in new beauteous fhapcs revive.
Then light the pile, dissolve this frame
Os human woe, of human care:
Since still our fools shall be the fame.
On wings of love we'll mount in air.
She said—and Brewing flowers around, (
O'erjoy'd as on her bridal day,
Hear'd the left fatal music found,
Which warn'd her Brama to obey,
Then mounting on the funeral pile,
With looks serene the welcom'd death,
Embrac'd her Caffab with a smile,
Aod in his arms refign'd her breath !
to believe no dishonorable a&ion
nor even the view of any, has
made me leek a shelter in this
cave. I replied, that they muft'
have a very small share of pene
tration, who needed the testimo
ny of her words, for what her
appearance alone was a lufficient
proof.
After iome few civilitiesof this
forth would have taken my leave
—But she desired, as it was the
hour for tea, I would give her
the plealure of my company. I
must confefs I was a little start
led at the name of tea ; for I
could not imagine by what ma
gic art any such thing could be
prepared in the place we were ;'
for I will now acquaint you with
the furniture of it. There was
neither grate, chair, nor table ;;
hoops of osier twisted together,(
somewhat like the wicker ofl
which baskets are made, laid ;
cross-ways, one above another,
Supporting a long piece of board,
from one end of the cave to the
other, lerved as a bench, and
was what we both seated upon. I
An old tub turned the bottom
upwards, Supplied the place of
a table, and that fire, the smoke,
of which had been my director,
was contained between two little
piles of broken bricks.— The can-i
dies, which were lighted up at
my approach were stuck in pie-t
ces of clay, with holes in them,;
and made flat at the bottom. A ;
great cupboard, that seemed of
of the fame age with Noah's ark,•
with two bundles rolled up, and
disposed in different angles, 1
which, as 1 afterwards under-I
stood, were the beds on whichl
the family reposed, completedi
the moveables of the apartment.
Yet,notwithftanding this wretch
ed appearance, we had our tea [
Served very elegantly. The
maid brought a decanter, with
water clear as the crystal that
enclosed it, and having let it on
the fire, laid a clean damask
napkin over the tub-table, and
placed a tea-pot, two cups and
Saucers, with a flop, of as fine
china as ever I saw done,
She took a silver canister, and
gold spoons.—We had also ex
ceeding good cake ; but the plate
in which it was presented, was I
not at all of a piece with the rest ।
of the equipage ; it was of coarse
earthen ware and had the mis
fortune to have loft more than
one half the brim.
So many contradißions joined to
make an oddity which I could not im
agine a possibility of accounting for.
The young lady easily saw into my
thoughts, and as soon as our repast
was ended, told me she would not
deprive me any longer of the light of
the fun, but attend me, if I would
give her leave, into the upper world.
Town the proposal was very agreea# -
ble to me, and we walked together
till we came to a grove, formed by
the hand of nature, and more beauti
ful than art could have made it; there
we fat down, and after ufheying in
what she was about to fay, with some
compliments on the motives which
this firft interview bad given her, of a
aperfed confidence [fl my sincerity,
unfolded the whole mystery of her re
tirement, and all that had so much

T POLITICAL.
-o>a»
A certain man, by the name of
Callender, not much known at the
Northward, appears to have been, in
the Middle and Southern States, a
writer in favor of Republicanism, and
to have tarnished his writings with
some such abuses of the former ad
ministrations, as fill almost everyfed.
eral paper against the present admin
istration. The Federalists profequted,
fined and impriloned him, on their
memorable Sedition Law. The Re
publicans pitied and relieved him in his
distress, as a vidim of party persecu
tion. For some cause or other, prob
ably the want of attention, esteem,
reward or promotion on the part of
administration, he has turned Federal
,if, and has pretended to expose con
fidential secrets. He now attcks the
constituted authorities with more vir
- lulence than ever before; and the Fed.
' eraliJls support him in bis attacks. He
;is recommended to their confidence,
1 and the public attention, by two prom.
;inent considerations; ift, Treacher,,
in undertaking to betray a cause
he had long been profeffing to fup
porc ; and ad. Ingratitude, in attempt,
ing to represent an a& of charity in
Mr. Jefferson, his former benefac-
I tor, as a reward of his own profligacy.
The policy of the Federalijis, in their
Newspaper hue tend cr, on this fubje&,
which they know will never be notic
-1 ed by the president, is to stir up the
passions of people inorder to draw
off their attention from the great ob
-Ijeds of real controversy between the
two parties, that is liberty and economy.
Vulgar prejudices and popular alarms
' are the chosen means of the present
'oppofition. Bayard declared that
he wished to agitate the country.
An agitation of the public mind is the
object of the opposition. But, fellow
.citizens, let us not, by attending to
!exparte ftbries and pretended anec-
Idotes of the President or any body
lelfe, lose fight of the charatteriftic
!principles and leading measures of
Igovernment. A cool attention of
the ceconomical reformations intro
duced by the Republicans is what the
i Federalifls evidently dread. The
downfal of their party would be the
consequence.
It is laughable to hear Federalijis
complain of the inequality & oppref-
Ifive nature of import duties, particu
larly on tea,coffee,fait &c. and charge
them to the prefentr^ub/fcanCengre's
—whereas they were laid by a former
Federal Congress, and the Republicans
have not added to them a single cent.
The Excises, which are repealed, had
no connexion with the Imposts, but
formed a totally diftind ana separate
fyftemof taxation. For the eftablifh
mentof both fy ftemswe'were indebted
to the Federalijis ; for the repeal of
one of them, after reducing our pub#
lie expences to as great an amount, we ,
are indebted to the Republicans.
The Southern Sates export more
than the Northern, but they manufac
ture much less of their eatables, and
wearables, that is of articles of con
fumption in general. The Eastern
and Middle Spates import not only
for themselves, but, to a large a#
mount, also, for their Southern
brethren. The interests of the
North and the South are conneHed
by nature as well as by Government.
Apd“ what God has joined together,
let no man put afundcr."
The Legislature of foafo have
passed a law to prevent the praaice of
Duelling, which fubjeds the Party
who attempts to fight, by Challenge
or otherwise, to afine of 50 dollars,
and 60 days imprisonment, without
bail or main prize ; with the forfeit. 1
ure of the Rights of Ciiizeufhip for |
and during the space of one year,
thereafter.—• The person who bears a
Challenge to another, is likewise fub
je&ed to a fine of 50 dollars and im
prisonment for 30 days. He who
foils another in a Duel, is held and
aeemed by this A& a murderer, and
is to fuffer death without benefit of
Clergy.
