"Children like tender ofiers, take the bow, And as they first are fashioned always grow."
THE education of youth is an object of the highest importance to the interest of society, as well as to the present honor and future well being of them individually; and as such claims the attention of the public, of every friend to his country, and of every benevolent heart.
As a mind, wholly ingrossed with sensuality and vice, is known to be incapable of making proficiency in human knowledge, or even of attending to the means of scientific improvement; it may be supposed that every approach to so disgraceful a state, and every less degree of vice, will be a proportional obstruction to the attainment of human learning, though in its first rudiments. If improvement in human learning be our only object, if we extend our views no farther than the honor, interest, and happiness of the rising generation in the present world, their morals become an object of first attention. But, in my view, there is a reason of infinitely higher moment, their early discipline and instruction is designed to furnish them to serve God, in serving their fellow-men, and to lay a foundation for their enjoying him, here, and hereafter. The vicious and immoral cannot serve God, voluntarily, though God may serve himself of them, and make them the rod in his hand of executing his pleasure: much less can they enjoy him, for he is angry with the wicked every day. Vicious habits are far more easily prevented in early life, than they are overcome at riper age; and good habits formed at an early period, and strengthened and nurtured through the years of discipline and instruction, are not easily lost. Train up a child (said a wise instructor of his children) in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart therefrom. The morals of the children then become the first object of attention, even as preparative to their future improvement. In attending to this object the first concern is the character of the instructor, that he be a man of good moral deportment, not indulging himself in any vicious practice, if he does, however well he may counsel, advise, or caution his pupils, his example will do more hurt, than all his precepts can do good. And, Penelope like, the revels of the evening will undo the lectures of the day. The second concern is, that the instructor be well qualified, in point of human learning, for the branches of his instruction, and that he be apt to teach.
The instructor thus qualified, being introduced into school becomes one of the most important characters in society, and acting up to his character, deserves an honorable maintenance, and the countenance, support, and respect of all that wish well to the best interests of mankind. He has an important trust devolved upon him, the duties of which are far more laborious and painful than those, who have never been connected with a school, are ready to imagine. He becomes the head of a society to whom the important interests of mankind are after a little while to be committed, and he is to prepare them for the great deposit; to enlarge their minds by human culture, to understand those interests, and form their hearts
to feel and regard them, in short under his moulding hand is to grow up the youth, for every station in civil and social life, furnished to serve his fellow men, and enjoy his God, in the sphere where divine providence shall direct his action. However diversity of sentiment may occasion objections against religious instruction from a master to his pupils, none can object against their being impressed with the belief of the existence of a God, and taught their dependance upon him. The most direct method to impress the young mind with this belief, is, a devout and humble address, in way of prayer and thanksgiving, to that being who hears prayer. Every schoolmaster should open the exercises of the day with a prayer before, and for his scholars, to that Being who hath said if any man lack wisdom let him ask of God; introducing it by reading some portion of the bible himself, or directing his pupils to read it, if he have any that can read well enough. And a grateful heart will be disposed to render a thank offering in the evening for the assistances and blessings of the day.
A schoolmaster thus introduced to the exercises of the school, though he does not expect to learn the children their letters, is to see that they have acquired a just and accurate pronunciation of them, to correct any vulgarisms, tones, and drawings that they may have contracted, and shew them the manner of placing the organs of speech to pronounce any letter at which they hesitate or blunder.
The child knowing the names of the letters is to be led on to the smallest composition, to syllables of two letters, then of three in their easiest composition, then to words of two syllables, no syllable exceeding the number of letters they had found in their single words, and so on to words of many syllables.
In division of words into syllables, it is tho' no other rule should be observed, than as they are divided in the best pronunciation, every letter being joined in the division to the syllable with which it is joined in the pronunciation.
To excite the ambition of his scholars should be a great object with the master, this is usually effected by letting them read for places, or spell for places out of book, ranking in the class as they excell. Or having set days, perhaps once or twice a week, when the respective classes should be ranged under leaders, appointed by the master, equally qualified for the designed exercise, they choosing alternately their respective men. The side that excels having some little favor shewn them. Small premiums given to those scholars that should appear to have made the greatest proficiency in their respective branches, to be determined by examination on the days of visitation would have a happy effect.
That boys, in the early part of life, must be indulged in play out of school, for the greater part of the time, must be acknowledged. But they ought to redeem enough to prepare an exercise for the morning when they first enter school either in spelling words, delivering something memoriter, or reciting grammer rules.

A N E C D O T E.
From JORTIN'S Life of ERASMUS.
ONE Tetzel, a dominician, and a retailer of indulgencies, had picked up a vast sum at Leipfic. A gentleman of that city, who had no veneration for such superstitions, went to Tetzel, and asked him if he could sell him an indulgence beforehand for a certain crime, which he would not specify, and which he intended to commit. Tetzel said yes, provided they could agree upon the price. The bargain was struck, the money paid, and the absolution delivered in due form. Soon after this, the gentleman knowing that Tetzel was going from Leipfic well loaded with cash, way-layed him, robbed him, and cudgelled him; and told him at parting, that this was the crime for which he had purchased an absolution. George Duke of Saxony, a zealous friend to the court of Rome, hearing of this robbery, at first was very angry; but being informed of the whole story, he laughed heartily and forgave the criminal.

FRANKFORT, February 5.
A soldier in the garrison of a small town of Prussian Silesia, being suspected of making free with the offerings made by the pious Roman Catholics to a celebrated image of a wonder working Virgin; he was watched, and upon his being searched, two silver hearts were found upon him.—He was dragged before the magistrate, imprisoned, tried and doomed to death, as a sacrilegious robber. In the course of his trial he constantly denied his having committed a theft, but that the Virgin herself, in pity to his poverty, had ordered him to take the above offerings. The sentence, with the prisoners defence, was as usual, laid before the King. His Majesty conversed with several of the Popish divines, asking them whether such a miracle was possible, according to the tenets of their religion. They unanimously answered, that the case was very extraordinary, but not absolutely impossible; upon which the King wrote in his own hand the following words:
“The culprit cannot be put to death, because he positively denies the charge, and that the Divines of his religion declare, that the miracle wrought in his favour is not impossible; but we strictly forbid him, under pain of death, to receive any present from the Virgin Mary, or any Saint whatsoever. FREDERICK.”
LONDON, February 5.
The report of the French having offered their assistance to support an independent government in India, is confirmed by letters received from Paris. This shews how far one state may depend upon another in matters of treaty.
Private letters from Bern, in Switzerland, bring advice that there lately fell, near that place, an ærostatic balloon, in the gallery of which were found four people dead, according to all appearance from cold. This event happening at the moment of the departure of the post, they could not give any further particulars.
Several ladies, dressed in men's clothes, attended yesterday below the bar of a certain assembly, for the purpose of hearing the debates.
MARCH 10. When we lost America, our sun was said to be set in the West; now that we are like to lose the Indies, it is said our sun has set in the East. As this is likely to be the case, and as we have a sun neither in the East nor West, let us for the future be guided by the moon, and let that move between North and South.
MARCH 16. In the year 1762, a Member of the House of Commons asserted, that this kingdom had arrived to that zenith of power that not a gun should be fired in Europe, without our consent. Times are since changed, (says a correspondent) and it may now be truly said, that the Imperial Mistress of all the Russias is become the sole arbitress of this quarter of the globe.
Mr. Alderman Newnham moved yesterday in the House of Commons, for “leave to bring in a bill to discontinue the petty custom on alien good imported into Great-Britain, and the duty of one per centum on goods exported to or imported from the Mediterranean seas in unqualified ships, and for repealing so much of an act passed in the 4th year of the reign of his present Majesty, as enacts, that no part of the old subsidy shall be drawn back upon goods exported to the British colonies or plantations in America.”
The late disputes between the Republic of Venice, and the States General of Holland, which was occasioned by the latter seizing three Venetian vessels, under pretence of their being concerned in a contraband trade on the coast of Guinea, we are assured is likely to be settled to the satisfaction of both nations by the mediation of the Empress of Russia.
Extract of a letter from Vienna, Feb. 14.
“Although the cabinet of Versailles has given peace to the Levant, it is assured here that the firmness of the King of Prussia towards our Court has not a little contributed to it; for whilst the Court of France was re-establishing concord in the Divan, and disposing their minds to peace, Frederick was offering us, without noise, the alternative of a limited moderation, or a dreadful war. That Monarch writing to his Minister said to him, “Assure the Court of Vienna, that I want nothing for myself, but that I shall prevent others from having too much.” Our letters from Italy mention, that he was obliged to employ a great number of hands to clear the way for him through the snow; to whom his Imperial Majesty distributed very large sums. The return of our august Sovereign will be thro' Turin, where he intends to stay a month. The King of Sweden will return to his dominions through this capital, where an apartment is fitting up for him in the palace; it is reported that he will spend two months here.”
Extract of a letter from Paris, Feb. 16.
“By an arrest of the Council of State, of the 11th of January, the King has suppressed the exclusive privilege of the negro trade; but through that spirit of uprightness which characterizes him, he grants, as an indemnification to the administrators and grantees, the exclusive privilege of the gum trade for nine years, to commence the first of July next.”
RICHMOND, April 10.
Extract of a letter from a person of intelligence, in the Cherokee county dated March 7, 1784.
“The news of the Governor of North Carolina, or some private adventurers, attempting to purchase the Mussel-Shoals, and great bend of Cherokee river, has been made known among all the Southern Nations. A strong guard of Creek Indians, has been posted in that part of the country, all the fall and winter, to prevent even explorers of those parts to pass; and you may be assured that a few bales of cloathing and trumpery, given to the upper towns people, will go but a little way in getting possession of a favorite spot; in which Chickamoggas, Creeks, and Chickasaws all deem themselves deeply interested.”
HARTFORD, May 4.
A correspondent observes that he once thought Connecticut the most infamous State in the Union for faction and tumult; but late accounts from Boston and New York tell us that those States embosom the same vile contemptible principles, though they break out into action upon different objects. The Middletown Convention was produced in a fit of passionate zeal for public good—enkindled and inflamed by a few men who meant to ride into office upon the momentary fury of the populace. In the first transports of their passion, if they had had power, they would have gibetted the very men who had directed our councils and who had bled in support of our liberties—they would have subverted that constitution to which they had been indebted for the security of their persons and property. But the short period of six or seven months has calmed the popular rage—reason is assuming her influence over the minds of the people—and the leaders
of the faction are sinking into contempt and hatred faster than ever they emerged from obscurity.
Boston is beginning a farce of a similar nature—the Cincinnati alarm their apprehensions and become the objects of ill timed premature jealousy. That Society no doubt was formed with innocent views—and supposing it to be dangerous in its tendency or remote consequences—the speech of the Governor of South Carolina and the impotent resolves of the Assembly of Massachusetts prove that however the Cincinnati may engage the speculation of an individual or jealous anxiety of a Legislature, yet that the wisdom of elevated characters is unable to make the Institution an object of law. When the society shall be guilty of any overt act that is cognizable by law, the law will punish it and the legislature will always have power to annihilate the Order; but till that time the shrewdest genius will have some difficulty in finding which side to attack the Institution.
A faction in New York, with less show of justice, are busy in persecuting the royalists who remained in the city, during the late war, ought to be protected by the solemn faith of treaties, from such wanton insults. However the feelings of these inflammatory whigs may have been irritated by losses & injuries, in the fury of civil war; certainly the sacred nature of a treaty ought to influence their minds and incline them to sacrifice their feelings to the reputation of the State. But this is not all—it is inhuman—it is cowardly to trample on a conquered foe. A Hero is content with victory—dastards only plunge a dagger in the breast of a prisoner. An army of twenty thousand men resolved to murder and destroy, would not endanger a State so much as a mob which takes the administration of justice out of the hands of the legal magistrates. The leaders of a mob may pretend to be honest men and patriots, and possibly they may make themselves and adherents think so; but impartial posterity never fail to rank them, to a man, in the list of Fools or Knaves.
By a letter from Paris dated January 11, we are informed, that the Viscompte de Vibraye will succeed the Chevalier de la Luzerne, the Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of France.
BOSTON, May 6.
The Senate of the State of New-York, have, we hear been pleased to present Mr. Paine, author of the celebrated Pamphlet, titled Common Sense , with the choice of two farms, one situate on Long Island, and the other at New Rochelle, as specified in their unanimous resolution.—And there is no doubt but the other branches of the Legislature will concur in this honorable testimonial—a testimonial founded on, and dictated by, gratitude, and conferred as an acknowledgment of the high sense they entertain of Mr. Paine's usefulness and abilities, and of services he has rendered the United States.
By accounts from London, as late as the 10th of March, we learn, that eighteen Commissioners are to be appointed, under the great seal, to consider the propriety of concluding a commercial treaty with the United States of America; who are to report their opinion, which is to be laid before Parliament.
A Jamaica paper of the 13th ult. mentions that the inhabitants of Turks Island have lately been mal-treated by the crews of several American vessels, and compelled to dispose of their salt, &c. on very inequitable terms.—It is added, that one of his Majesty's vessels is intended shortly to be sent there from Port-Royal, as well to protect the Island, as to inforce vessels trading there duly to enter and clear.
The Medea frigate lately arrived in England from the East-Indies informs, That the Cato, Admiral Parker's flag ship, of 50 guns, in her passage out, struck against a rock and foundered.—The Admiral and crew, besides a number of troops on board perished.

PORTSMOUTH, April 16.
On Thursday night last, as two men and a boy were returning to Kittery from fishing, they unfortunately drove on the rocks near Gerrish's island, and were drowned.—The name of one of the persons is Toward.
Died, since our last—Mr. John Kempt, merchant, lately from the Grenades, aged 23.—Mr. Nicholas Bufford, aged 49.—An Infant of Capt. Nathaniel Peirce's.—One black.

PUBLIC Notice is hereby given, that Tristram D. D. and Nathaniel Tracy Esqrs, have petitioned the General Court of this State, setting forth, that they own in fee-simple and in severality from the other proprietors, the following part of the Town of APTHORP, in this State, viz. beginning at the easterly corner of said town, thence running south fifty six degrees west, eighteen hundred rods, adjoining on the south east side line of said town, thence running north twenty-six degrees west about six miles or be the same more or less, until it comes to Connecticut River, thence by Connecticut River easterly, 'till it comes to the Northerly corner of said town, then north twenty six degrees east, adjoining on the north easterly side line of said town, about five miles, until it comes to the easterly corner of said town. That they apprehend the part of said town, owned by them, is sufficient to form one town, and the residue thereof another town, and that a division of the same into two towns would be beneficial both to the public and the proprietors: Wherefore they prayed, that an act of the legislature might be passed to divide the said town of Apthorp into two towns in manner aforesaid. On which petition the General Court ordered, that the petitioners be heard thereon before the General Assembly on the second Wednesday of their first session under the New Constitution; and that in the mean time the petitioners cause the substance of their petition and order of court thereon, to be published three weeks successively in the New Hampshire Gazette, that any person or persons may then appear, and there cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be granted.
