Mr. CHILDS.
The following ESSAY, which is taken from the first volume of WINTER EVENINGS; or LUCubrations on Life and Letters, contains some judicious observations on an error that is too prevalent in the present day...
On bringing up Children with Ideas of higher Station, and more expensive Modes of Living, than they will be able to support on the Death of the Parents.
PHILOSOPHERS have often compared individuals of the human race to the various animals of the irrational creation. Some are said to resemble foxes, some hogs, and others asses; and the resemblance has been supposed to be so great as to contribute something to the support of the Pythagorean Metempsychosis.
To make a figure, to the utmost extent of their ability, is the scope of people of fashion; as to expand the plumage of its tail in all its pride, is the supreme bliss of the peacock; whose internal qualities, and real value (which, by the way, are in no respect like the vain votaries of fashion) by no means correspond with the ostentatious appearance.
As the desire of distinction is natural, so the wish to make a figure, even in externals, while it is limited by right reason, and urges not to the violation of prudence and justice, is innocent at least, though scarcely laudable. But it is found in this age to lead to an expensive mode of living, and to the allocation of a splendidly great above what the rank requires, and the fortune can support.
The house must be larger, the servants more numerous, the table more luxurious, and the equipage more splendid, than either a sense of decorum, or prudent regard to the permanent interest of the family, can admit. And what is the inducement?
The creditors and the children of the numerous tribes who live above their rank and fortune, experimentally feel and deplore that my representation is not the fiction of a declaimer. The creditors wait so long for payment as to lose their profit in the interest, and often rejoice if they receive ten shillings in the place of twenty.
The children suffer cruelly. They are introduced into a walk of life which they must relinquish forever, on the departure of their parents. The money that should have been kept as a reservoir to supply their wants during life, in adversity, and in old age, has flowed in profusion to furnish superfluities in the season of health and youth.
The consequence was unavoidable. On the death of their parents, the children found that every foot of land, and all the goods and chattels, belonged to importunate creditors, who, after having sustained a heavy loss, eagerly received every remainder of property; so that they saw themselves, literally, not worth a single shilling.
misery of prostitution. So ends the splendor, the luxury, the pride of a family, which, if it could have been contented with the comforts of a most valuable competency, might at this time have been flourishing in reputation, plenty, and prosperity.
But what? Is there no such thing as solid comfort with a moderate fortune, and in the middle state? Must we forever labor to leave the rank in which Providence has placed us, in order to relish our existence?
I wish I could induce them to consider duly the nature and value of solid comfort. But we do, consider it, say they; we consider what pleases ourselves, and we pursue it with constancy.
These, I think, afford solid comforts:—A quiet conscience, health, liberty, one's time one's own, or if not, useful, and innocently, and moderately employed by others; a freedom from inordinate passions of all kinds; a habit of living within one's income, and of saving something for extraordinary occasions; an ability, arising from rational economy, to defray all necessary and expedient expenses; a habit of good humor and aptitude to be pleased rather than offended; a preparation for adversity, love of one's family, sincerity to friends, benevolence to mankind, and piety to God.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) August 20.
A revenue officer was observed yesterday forenoon very busy in the examination of some plantain boats that were unloading at the wherry wharf.
The many frivolous and vexatious suits which have long composed the principal part of the business of the quarter session, are, if the voice of the public is to be held in any estimation, a very severe reflection on the general police of the town.
An apposite C— who has found means to ingratiate himself with the Spanish governor at Carthagena, has it seems been at especial pains to convince his countrymen of the degeneracy of his principles, and an inveteracy that can only originate in utter depravity of heart.
On Monday forenoon, about twenty minutes past ten, the first part of the sentence awarded against Donald Love, for negro stealing, was carried into execution by his being placed in a pillory fixed near the court-house, in which he remained one hour, and was slightly pelted with stones, &c.
A few days since a duel was fought at Bath, between N— P— Esq. of St. Thomas in the East, and A— D— Esq. of St. David's— when the latter was shot through the heart and expired instantly.
The particulars which gave rise to this unhappy contest are reported as follows:— A negro of Mr. P—'s having been several months confined, on a charge for a misdemeanor, applications were repeatedly made for his being brought to trial or liberated; as neither was complied with, his owner dropped some expressions, implying that the M—'s either did not know or would not fulfil their duty.
MONTEGO-BAY, Aug. 16.
It is reported as a fact, that an attempt was lately made to blow up one of the powder magazines in Spanish-Town, by some unknown incendiaries, who were providentially disturbed in the act of boring a hole through the wall, which they had nearly completed in the dead of the night.
BOSTON, September 25. On Monday the Right Honourable the Marquis de SAUNNEVILLE, and the principal officers of his Most Christian Majesty's squadron, dined with his Excellency the Governor.
On the arrival of the procession at the place of embarkation, the cadets formed line, opened ranks, and saluted them as they passed—The Marquis, after taking an affectionate leave of the Governor, and receiving his Excellency's warmest wishes for his happiness, went on board his barge, when a great body of citizens assembled on the occasion, saluted him with three hearty cheers, in which his Excellency joined, which was returned by a like compliment from the Admiral, and the crew of the barge.
Tuesday his Excellency the Governor, and a select number of gentlemen and ladies, dined with the Chevalier MACARTY DE MARTIGUE on board the Achilles. The company, who arrived on board about one o'clock, were received with the customary naval honors; and were entertained with that delicacy and ease which so peculiarly characterize the gentlemen of the French nation.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30.
In the election of representatives of every kind to serve in Congress, or in the Assembly (says a correspondent) the following qualifications should be required. 1. Abilities. 2. Knowledge in commerce, agriculture and manufactures, as well as attachment to the federal government.
A correspondent who highly approves of the speeches of two of our city members of assembly against the corrupt practices of the magistrates of the state, desires to know which is the greatest evil Pennsylvania now groans under—her enormous Executive Council—her oppressive Magistrates—or the Ruffian Fly.
We learn that the honorable the legislature have now before them a bill, by which the ten electors of the President and Vice-President, will be chosen by the people at large throughout the state.
We learn that the Mulberry-ward and German-Town stocking-weavers, have got into the way of making neat worsted stockings, not so thick as the milled kind, which last have been thought by some warmer than they would with to wear till late in life.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 2.
The MAIL for ENGLAND will be closed at the Post-Office, at X o'Clock this Morning.
A letter from Philadelphia gives us the following information:—That on Tuesday the General Assembly of that state proceeded to the election of two SENATORS to sit in the new Congress of the United States, when the Honorable ROBERT MORRIS, and WILLIAM MACLAY, Esquires, were appointed.
On Monday the 15th ult. arrived at Hampton Road (Virginia) the ship Bowman, Capt. Butler, from London, after a passage of 43 days.
Sunday arrived at Philadelphia, the ship Young Eagle, Capt. Kerr, in 56 days from London. The commotions in France, we are informed, have almost subsided, and a prospect appears of an amicable accommodation between the King and Parliament of that nation.
Yesterday arrived the schooner Edward, Smith, from Sheburne, and sloop Lady Green, Gouley, Rhode-Island.
We learn from L'Estour, via Paris, that a most dreadful thunder storm happened in that city the third of June, which nearly destroyed the tower of the Cathedral, and did very considerable damage, so as greatly to alarm all the neighborhood.
THE Quarterly Examination of the Scholars of Erasmus-Hall, 6th Dist. Bath, will be held on MONDAY next, the 6th inst. and will begin precisely at nine o'Clock, Forenoon. Oct. 1, 1788.

COAL TAR.
A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788.
WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down.
From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. (Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Grosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.
