MISCELLANY.
An Essay on the instruction and entertainment to be derived from a view of the minute objects of creation.
It is surprising, that amidst all the studies which employ our thoughts, we take not more notice of those miracles which present themselves to our view in the lower rank of creation. Were these attended to, they would prodigiously enlarge our minds, and give us far more exalted ideas of the Supreme Being. Perhaps it might have puzzled Mr. Derham, had he been asked the question, whether his quadrants or microscopes, whether a star or an insect, had given him the greatest surprise or satisfaction; but man stalks heedless and thoughtless along amidst a world of beings which surround him on every side, and, because they occur frequently to his sight, he takes no regard of them. May we not as rationally find footsteps of the Divinity in the most abject reptile upon the ground as in the fun itself? How wonderful must be the contrivance in the legs of a Scolopendra! How inexpressibly curious must be the structure of those muscles which move its unnumbered joints! Or, to carry this still farther, how amazingly small must the nerves be which convey the spirits to actuate those muscles in such a regular succession! And I question not but the limbs of every insect are composed of such constituent parts, adapted to the nature of the creature, as answer to the connexion of the bones in the human body, attended with all the supplement of cartilages and epiphyses. All animals, as they fall below each other in the scale of existence, have their organs suitably prepared: nor is there more wisdom, nor more power evidenced in the formation of an elephant, than of an ichneumon.
It may not be unpleasing to reflect a little on the perceptions with which animals seem furnished. I am apt to think that a pile of building may appear a level plain to some of them; nor can I yet find sufficient reasons for the contrary. There is no difference in their velocity in ascending a brick wall, or traversing the flat surface of the ground; and they run down a perpendicular height with equal swiftness, intrepidity and unconcern.
As to the degree of their senses of pain; it seems plain from what I have said concerning the formation of their parts; and Shakespeare certainly is in the right, when he says,
The poor blind beetle that we tread upon, In corporal suffrance, feels a pang as great As when a giant dies.
It is undoubtedly barbarous to take away the life of any animal merely from an ostentation of the superiority of human power, or in experiments merely wanton and useless; especially, considering the short duration of time they enjoy among us is the whole of their life, and that they have no future existence. Mr. Locke, I remember, in his Treatise on Education, advises parents to let their children have as many birds, squirrels, &c. as they will, for he thinks the care they take of them will give a tincture of humanity to their minds. And, by the way, Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Florentine painter, could not bear to see a bird confined in a cage, and, as he walked along the streets, would purchase them, and set them at liberty.
It is observable, that the Supreme Being has given them such perceptions as are suited to the functions of their lives, and the different places of their residence. A bee is in its element while hovering over a parterre, and a chameleon-house is the paradise of a toad. To some the most loathsome stench is a perfume, and others nauseate the most grateful odours; it is the happiness of these to lie basking in the noonday sun; of those to lug themselves in dust and obscurity.
The most trivial thing in nature may entertain a speculative mind with many an agreeable meditation. What wonderful work appears in a bird's nest! How contemptible is the very mention of it, and yet what great sagacity appears in its make? Not only every species composes them of different materials, and on a peculiar plan, but each constantly presents the same form, and invariably keeps one model. Mr. Addison has observed this before, but there are two other considerations which fall under this head, and which he has not noticed. One is the strength and firmness with which those little buildings (if I may so call them) are made. A piece of architecture founded on a rock is not more secure than the basis of a bird's nest, which is so intricately interwoven with the branches of a tree. An oak may be riven with lightning, or torn up with an hurricane, before the form shall be able to dislodge the nest.
The other consideration is, they, whose young cannot bear the severity of the cold, or where they would perish by being exposed to the severity of the weather, accordingly provide for their offspring. A crow brings up its little family upon the summit of an elm, while a sparrow nurses her tender progeny within the close recesses of a house top.
In some, the organs of sight can endure, and take delight in the effulgence of the sun, and others cannot bear the light; therefore a lark never builds in a barn, nor an owl in a corn-field.
It is remarkable, that, among all insects, the bee and pismire should be so regardful of futurity, and shew such indefatigable industry in laying up their winter's provision. And, if the entrance of an hive be guarded by proper centinels to prevent a foreigner's admission to the community, could we discover the passage to the subterraneous kingdom of ants, possible we might find the like policy used by them and the same out-guards posted before their several states. Those animals whose life is determined to a short period, discover none of this care, for in them it would not only be useless, but burdensome. Or, as Mr. Cowley expresses it,
Wisely the ant against poor winter hoards The flocks which summer's wealth affords; In grasshoppers, that mull in autumn die, How vain were such an industry?
The Supreme Being has exerted an infinite benevolence towards every individual of his creatures, and has made the lives of all easy and pleasant to themselves. In those which amphibiously search their food by land and water, how must it have obstructed their flight, if that element had adhered to the feathers of water fowl? Where the necessity of their lives confines them to places, which must otherwise have been destructive to them, how has their Maker sufficiently guarded them from those injuries?
* An insect of a very slender and long body, very smooth, and of a yellowish or reddish colour, furnished with a vast number of legs, and having a cleft tail † A particular kind of fly bred in the bodies of caterpillars.
"God, (says Boerhaave) left fishes should be affected by the salt-water that surrounds them, has placed innumerable glands in their skins, which secrete an oil." He has left no creature unguarded from, and exposed to the inclemency of the weather, but each carries with it a sufficient shelter from the cold. Nay this, in those of the same species, is proportioned to the difference of the climate they inhabit. The skin of hares is remarkably thicker in the northern than in the southern parts of England.
I think this moral may naturally be deduced from the whole. If the Supreme Being hath shewn such extreme benevolence towards the inferior rank of his creation, and if he hath given them all satisfaction and pleasure in their momentary life, what unknown and superior joy must he have reserved for man, whose existence is not confined to time nor to mortality, but whose duration he has designed shall be immeasurable as eternity? And, on the contrary, how dreadful will be the consequences to those incorrigible wretches who take no care to please him, but live, as it were, in defiance of Omnipotence himself?
FOREIGN ADVICES.
LONDON, April 6. FOREIGN TATTLE, About the present KING of PRUSSIA.
"Trifles as light as air," are magnified into consequence when Sovereigns are the heroes of the slimy tale. If a King bestows five guineas upon a poor deserving object, all the world must be told of it; and mere charity assumes the importance of most wonderful benevolence; whilst the memory of as many thousands, humanely lavished by private hands, are with the donor's name, consigned to oblivion.—Thus goes the world; and thus let it go.—Now to our subjects.
His Prussian Majesty, on the 15th ultimo, about the hour of eleven in the forenoon, mounted on his horse.—Sorry we are that the intelligence does not describe the steed, shape of the saddle, trapping, &c.—for the least minutiae, with which a King is concerned, can never be tedious,—took a ride round the place where the fair is kept yearly. The Monarch made up to some peasants, who were engaged in a very serious altercation. What's the matter said the Prince to one of the disputants? Mr. Inspector of the police, for he mistook the Sovereign for one of them, replied the countryman, give me leave to tell your Worship, that for these 25 years I have constantly occupied this spot; it is equitable that this new comer should turn me out?—By no means, friend, your perseverance gives you the best title. Pleased with his having settled this knotty point in two words, the King continued his ride, laughing in his sleeve at the mistake of the peasants, and almost approved of having passed upon them for a shark of the police.—There goes one.
No. 2. Wonderful instance of generosity!—At another time, the King taking a nocturnal perambulation incog. met at the palace gate with a little boy holding a pot in his hand.—Here again, our chronicler of small beer is in fault, as he does not tell us the dimensions of the pot. The king asked the boy from whence he came. The child just coming out from the palace at the time, the question might be deemed idle, from any body else but a king. The boy's answer was obvious,—from the palace and not a plebe you. What had thou got in that pot?—Some broth. For whom?—My ma, ma, Sir, who is very ill. Who gave it?—The King's Cook. After this sprightly dialogue, his Majesty entered the palace, and instantly summoned the cook before him. Has any one said the King, with all the gravity of a monarch, been here for something out of my royal kitchen? the cook undismayed at so stern a question, answered in the affirmative, adding, that the broth was intended for a very infirm woman. This is well done, thou honest and faithful servant; but do better still, and henceforth let that woman receive from the palace all her subsistence, I shall take care of you and the object of your charity.
So far are we informed of Frederick's domestic achievements; but, considering the short time he has reigned, shews us a monarch that has done so much!
April 17. Advices have been received from Tercera, one of the Azores, that 14 sail of American ships have lately arrived there, with many articles which was much wanted; and that a regular trade is now established there with the ports of Boston, New-York, and Philadelphia.
On Thursday night a paper was read before the Royal Society, giving an account of a NEW COMET which was seen the 10th inst. at Paris; and also another paper proving that the wolf, the jackal, and the dog are of the same species.
UNITED STATES.
NORTHAMPTON, June 26.
On Thursday last Jason Parmenter and Henry McCulloch had LIKE to have been hanged. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Laneborough to his friend in this town, Dated June 18.
"On the night of the 15th inst. a little before day-break, I was surprised by a very rude noise at my door, being found in sleep when it commenced; and before I had really come to my senses, I found my bed surrounded by three or four ruffians, with guns and bayonets. They immediately demanded a candle.—I offered to arise and get one, but was forbid firing on penalty of instant death. My wife finally obtained liberty to arise and procure a candle; but before this one of the villains had found his way into the chamber where my hired man (one Lion) slept; he proceeded to the bed, and with a very austere voice exclaimed "who are you for?" Lincoln replied the man: The consequence of this answer from the innocent man was the reception of a few severe blows with a musket, though he was not very badly hurt. The villains soon introduced a candle into the chamber, and after plundering a chest which they had broke open, they proceeded down stairs bringing their prisoner with them. They immediately began searching the lower room, and after pillaging what they pleased, began to think of making their escape. My apprentice who happened to be out that night, coming home in the midst of the fray, was not discovered by the centry till he had got quite to the house, when he immediately hailed him: The lad, being surprised at such an abrupt and sudden challenge, did not give an immediate answer: The centry, upon this fired at him; the contents of the piece passed about two feet and an half from his head, and entered a log of my house—I have since extracted the charge, and find it to
contain one buck shot and a ball of an enormous size.—Previous to their departure, they extorted from me, my hired man, and apprentice, an oath, not to reveal the transactions of the night, nor espouse the cause of government any more; and also to repair to their head-quarters whenever they shall call for us—and in consequence of our breaking the oath, they would pay me another visit, burn my house, and execute a scene of bloodshed upon me. However I paid little regard to their injunctions, and soon disclosed the matter after their departure. My loss of property is very considerable, but it consists principally in cloathing."
July 4.
Mr. Printer,
The public are weeping on account of the melancholy intelligence in your last, that Jason Parmenter and Henry McCulloch had LIKE to have been hanged.—For the publick's comfort, that people may appear as cheerful as usual, I have to inform them, that nothing was more UNLIKELY, for they were guilty of nothing but felony, murder and treason.
LANSINGBOROUGH, July 9. On the 29th ult. Solomon Maker, one of Shays's officers, in attempting to land from a raft as it was passing Stillwater, was drowned. A few days after his body was taken up a float near Albany.—In one of his pockets were found three half joes and some coppers. It is said he was a descendant from creditable parents near Boston.
A more perfect specimen of the spirit which the Massachusetts rebels and their abettors still keep up, even at this forlorn state of their fortune, cannot be given than in the following copy of a letter, verbatim et litteratim , lately sent to S. J. HONEYWOOD, Esq. of Salem, in the county of Washington. This Yokab Wilson , the person at whose house, in Sanger, Gen. Shays is said to have made his head quarters on his late return from Canada, in consequence of which a party of the militia was sent to Wilson's, by order of the authority. It is unnecessary to observe, that the facts alluded to in the letter, are misrepresented, embellished, and exaggerated with all that veracity which uniformly distinguished every production of the rebels and their adherents.
"Mr. Honeywood—Sir:—after taking into consideration the ill treatment which my family received from yourself and some others not long since, I think I cannot in justice pass it over without satisfaction—for Sirs, for you to come out of York State into Vermont, and ransack my house with a pretence of finding Shays secreted there—and as if that had not been enough, must Needs Lay Violent hands on Some of the family Draw your Swords and threaten their Lives forcing them away from home and the Like and this Done in my absence and Contrary to orders too—must be thought by the wife and Judicious to be a most Cruel and barbarous action and ought not to pass with Impunity perhaps you'll say that I have transgress'd the Law by harbouring Shays and the Like, Let me tell you, if I have, I am Intirely willing to abide the Consequences of it, and tarelly Submit as a true Subject to the Laws of any State I belong to—but perhaps you think and (I Really Suppose you do) that the fact was Done to those whole poverty would be your sasty, they being poor and Low in the world, Consequently there Influence but Small, and by that means there would be Nobody able to take the Least advantage or get any Satisfaction although you behav'd Ever so bad—but Sir—youll find yourselves Mistaken, there being many ways whereby a man May Retaliate, if the Law will not Do perhaps Something Life will, I mean to Deal plainly, I have no favors to ask, Neither Do I fear any man frowns Suppose a Number of Vermont Lads Should Some Morning or Evening pay you a visit and treat you with the same freedom and politeness that you Did my family—which way would you help yourself, if you had Recourse to the Law, it would be but poorly Executed if it Did not mak ways, and finally Terminate as much in favour of the one as the other, but be this as it may, I am Resolved and it is in my power to porsecute Something that will be Very Dilagreeable if you Do not make Immediat Satisfaction—which if you apply Soon may be Easily Done otherwise you may abide the Consequences which may arise from those that Vew themselves Very much a-Bus'd by your ill Conduct—this from a friend to Government but an Inveterate Enemy to those that behave themselves Like Ruffins and Contentious Bushodies that would Delight to Sacrifice a man for the Sake of a Reward,—and all Done with pertence of Supporting Government— Josiah Wilson
New-York, July 17.
By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled, July 12, 1787.
Resolved, That all officers in the line of the late army who may be entitled to pensions, in pursuance of the acts of Congress in that behalf made, shall previous to the receipt of such pension, deposit with the proper officers appointed to discharge the same in the States in which they reside, a certificate from the Commissioner of Army Accounts, purporting that no balance is due from the claimant to the United States.
CHARLES THOMSON, Sec'y.
A correspondent observes, that the welfare and happiness of mankind, and particularly of the country in which we abide, ought invariably to be an object of the strictest investigation, and every attention given to promote so laudable an undertaking: It is a matter of the highest concern, and the present distracted situation of our country calls for a speedy remedy. We will, for a moment, consider what is the cause of our present difficulty. Some will readily answer, "that it is the want of money." This hypothesis cannot be supported, for money with us is only a medium, and not an article in trade, and must be considered as a secondary object. Agriculture and manufactures, encouraged by a good government, and properly attended to by an industrious people, will forever command sufficiency of money to answer all purposes. Look for a moment at the island of Great-Britain; that produces none of those adorable metals, and yet there is a sufficient quantity of circulating cash. From whence came it? From the mines of Potosi.—Forever let this rest upon your minds, my countrymen, that every yard of superfine broad-cloth will fetch 80 dollars in any of the capitals of South-America—and it is no uncommon thing in Mexico for a gentleman's full dress to amount to 1000 dollars. You will wonder at this, call it extravagant,
and almost doubt the truth, I suppose. Pause for a moment, and your amazement will cease. Silver and gold being the produce of these countries, must naturally be considered as articles of trade, and like all other articles, will lessen in value when there is a surplusage. This instance alone is sufficient to convince any one of the advantages we enjoy in preference to those who are toiling in subterraneous caves for gold. A farmer, in a country like this, with a few pounds of wool, and about four or five days labour, will produce, when carried to these markets, 80 dollars. You may think this picture painted in its most alluring colours; but I'll promise you it is not more attractive than it is just, and well worthy the attention of any who wishes the happiness of his family, and the prosperity of his country.
Agriculture and manufactures have been the cause, rise and progress of many splendid empires; and from these alone it is that we must expect to derive a consequence worthy of so valuable a country—a country that can abound with every thing that heart can wish. Cast your eyes to the east, and there you will find the fish and the oil. The middle States will furnish us with beef, pork, grain, pulse and vegetables of every kind. Virginia and the Carolinas with tobacco, naval-stores, rice and indigo; and Georgia would furnish us with fish in abundance.
Let your imagination rove for a moment into the interior parts of the United States: There you will find a soil teeming with every thing that is grateful; in short there is no part of the known world more amply furnished.
Will you then supinely hang your heads—wrapped in your tattered garments, loitering from place to place, a burden to society? Rouse from your lethargy, and with a determination worthy of rational beings, resolve to improve what Heaven has provided for you.
The Legislature of New-Hampshire adjourned on the 30th ult. to the second Wednesday in September, then to meet at Charlestown, Number Four, 100 miles distant from Portsmouth.—A new proof, that "the ball of empire rolls westward."
Letters from Georgia mention the deplorable situation of that State, and their daily expectation of an Indian war. As they have nothing among them but a paper currency, they are very indifferently prepared for such an event. From a variety of causes, this country has not much recovered herself since the peace. Her inhabitants were considerably involved with British merchants and others; so that their old debts will be a great draw-back from the produce of their industry.—Their frontier settlers and the Indians are too often a quarrelling, murders on both sides frequently take place, and sometimes it is difficult to determine who are the aggressors.
Captain Brown, from Cape Francois, on the 29th ult. spoke the ship —, Frazier, master, in the Vineyard Sound, belonging to Boston, from Point Petre, bound to New-Haven, who had on board Capt. John Smith, of the sloop Harriet, belonging to Hartford, who sailed from Say Brook Platform, on the 10th of April, bound to Surinam, and who had the misfortune on the 18th of said month, to meet a severe gale of wind, in which a sea rose in his dead-lights, drove out the bulk-head of the quarter deck, and carried overboard his mate and two seamen, who were drowned. Capt. Smith at the same time was taken by the sea, from the helm, and brought up forward of the windlass, by which means one of his thighs, in two places, an arm, and collar-bone, were broken. Soon after they cut away their mast; in this distressed situation, they remained 21 days on the wreck, when they were taken off by a sloop from Kennebec, bound to St. Bartholomew, where they arrived, and there safe landed, and put on board Capt. Frazier, as above, who proceeded for New-Haven.
Extract of a letter from London, dated April 12. "A letter from on board the Lord Hyde Packet-boat, arrived at Falmouth from New-York, says that the day before they sailed, the General Washington, carrying 20 guns, arrived there from Madeira, laden with wines, and brought in with them an Algerine corsair, which they had taken after an engagement of an hour and an half.—Captain Henderson of the Washington, says he had no irons of his own to put the prisoners but he found plenty on board the corsair, which he made use of, as they began to be very outrageous; they intended to dispose of the prisoners in the following manner, to send to the Dey to exchange some Americans for them, and if that was refused, that they then should be made slaves of, and treated in the same manner as the Algerines treat their prisoners."
Substance of a late charge to the grand jury of Burlington, in New-Jersey.
"Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, "LOVE thy neighbour as thyself, is the injunction of the all-wise and benevolent Father of mankind, who, in all his commands, consults the happiness of his creatures even in this world; and so intimately connects the interest of the present and future, that you secure the blessings of the latter, by duly attending to the duties of the first. Was the observance of this divine precept universal, we should in a great measure regain that Paradise on earth, which our first parents lost for us.—The Millennium would immediately commence. It is not because mankind are not fond of their own interest, but because they mistake it, that so much misery exists in the world. Could every individual be convinced that his own happiness and security was so closely united with the prosperity of his neighbours, of the State in which he lives, in short, of the world at large, that they must fall or rise together, and that neither could long exist in a state of separation, and would act according to the conviction; we should soon cease to hear of deceits, thefts, robberies, and murders. A mistaken self love, which seeks its own gratification, independent of, and in opposition to the happiness of others, has filled the world with misery and violence from the beginning to the present day; and the experience of 5000 years has not cured mankind of their malice and folly, nor taught this solemn truth, that self-love, rightly understood, and social, are the same."
Having gone through their business, the Foreman of the jury addressed the Judge, as follows:
"THE grand jury of the county of Burlington, direct me to present their thanks to your honor, for your excellent charge this morning.—With feelings congenial to your own, we have sought into the grievance of the country, and are happy to find that a principle of love to each other is so predominant amongst us, that we have but one bill to offer the court."

Translation of an interesting account from Paris, dated the 16th of April last, extracted from the Amsterdam Gazette of the 24th of the same month.
The last meeting of the board, over which the Count d'Artois presided, was rather spirited, and his Royal Highness could not help showing his displeasure to the Marquis de la Fayette in particular. The King had complained that the memorial which had been conveyed through him by M. Calonne, on the various points for deliberation to the Notables, had not been signed. The Marquis de la Fayette, whose patriotism is as pure and active as his courage and readiness were useful to the Americans, asked that it might be permitted him to read a memorial signed by himself supplicating, at the same time, the Count d'Artois to be pleased to carry it to his Majesty, as coming from him only. The whole board having declared themselves for the reading the Marquis's memorial, and having approved the whole contents, the Bishop of Langres promised to report to the assembly, after Easter, all judicial papers of the facts advanced. Before the reading, the Marquis found himself in a very delicate situation. The Count d'Artois had made it known, that this memorial appeared to him too pointed and too personal, even from the first phrase—It requires a presence of mind more than ordinary, & patriotism highly distinguished, not to be intimidated; the Marquis was not, and replied with freedom to his Royal Highness, That in quality of a gentleman, he had a right to carry his representations to the foot of the Throne."
On the 2d. instant commenced one of the Quarterly examinations of Columbia College, when the students in general discharged their respective duties in a manner which reflects the highest honor on themselves, at the same time that it exhibits the most convincing proofs of the abilities, diligence, and unremitted exertions of their teachers. The premiums were determined in the following manner, viz. In the senior class, to Mr. John Ecles; in the junior to Mr. John Mason; in the sophomore, to Mr. George Graham, and in the freshman, to Mr. James Wood. The Premium of Eloquence was adjudged to Mr. William Lupton.
Extract of a letter from New-Port, to a gentleman in Boston, July 5.
"Yesterday being the FOURTH OF JULY—how was it celebrated in Boston? Here every one was to his farm and to his merchandise!" [Perhaps Rhode-Island was in Jack-cloth and ashes, bespattering her unjubilant conduct. It is hoped, that, by the next anniversary, she will fully repent of all her misdemeanors; be virtuous and honorable, become a strong link in the chain of the union, and participate in all its joys.]
