THE LAY-CURATE.
DISCOURSE X.
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren, thou shalt not harden thy heart nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother.
When we cast our eyes round the world, and note the vast number of those who are deprived even of the absolute necessities of life, can we repress our astonishment at the solecism that there should be found even one being possessed of a human form, warmed by blood circulating through a human heart, who could listen with apathy to, or turn with indifference from, the petition of the poor, houseless, child of want! Yet such there are; who while revelling in all the luxuries that uncounted wealth can procure, while satiating their pampered appetites with every named delicacy which commerce, or ingenuity, or nature can supply, not only hear unmoved the bitter groan of poverty, but even refuse to spare a crumb from their table to preserve a fellow creature from perishing. Often has the moralist descended on the reciprocal obligations which unite the family of man; often has the voice of the divine exhorted the Christian votary to the practice of benevolence; often has the temple of the Deity resounded with denunciations against the hard hearted and avaricious rich, who unfeelingly shut their hand from their poor brother. However unworthy to tread in their steps, or to assume their functions, the Lay-Curate cannot refrain from joining his voice to theirs. He has lately visited the dark abode of despair; with his scant pittance he has been able to sooth the immediate pangs of suffering nature. The scene he witnessed has aroused some reflections, such perhaps as every sympathetic mind must have made. He would address them alike to those whose hearts and hands are ever open to feel and to relieve the wants of others, and to those who can contemplate them with savage callosity: The one he would exhort to persevere; the other he would awaken to a sense of duty: both he would encourage by the cheering dictum of God himself—'blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy!'
Every investigation of the characters and abilities of mankind, every emotion of the human heart, and every page of the history of civilized nations, unite to convince us that Man is a being formed for society, and deriving from thence his highest temporal security and happiness. Weak, destitute, and improvident is the state of infancy: inconsiderate schemes of pleasure of fortune endanger our middle career of life; and, although laden with infirmities and decrepitude, we are unexpectedly overtaken by old age. Inconveniences like these originally united man with man, to render and to receive accommodation and support. They shew how we are connected with each other; they call forth the energies of the soul to mutual action; they compose, they complete, the mechanism of our complicated frames. General wants and reciprocal dependence thus laid the spacious and solid basis of civil society: and here evidently must have existed in its formation, and will continue until its decay, a necessity that we should practice acts of support, of mercy, and of benevolence to others, who stand in such need of them ourselves.
Man as a dependent being, owes boundless gratitude to the Almighty, for implanting his own darling attribute of Mercy in the human heart; and, after the divine example, he owes to his fellow mortals the exercise of this attribute in the discharge of the duties of benevolence. Neither intrusive cares, nor indolence, nor negligence, should stifle the suggestions of duty, nor check the emanations of conscious virtue. Feeble and helpless while single and unsupported, we scarcely sustain a vegetative existence; but connected by the bands of mutual necessity and mutual affection, we embrace, like the clustering vine, the great trunk of society, and pour forth profusion and comfort to every object around us. Shall fleeting, shadowy "trifles light as air," employ the busy mind of man; and shall he neglect the cultivation of this heaven-born principle, which attaches itself to his existence, and is commensurate with life and immortality.
Every professed Christian, every heathen moralist, the Jew, the Turk, the infidel, all admit the virtues of benevolence, all proclaim its universality. United to the whole world as brethren, our charity ought not to be limited to the partial bounds of con-
sanguinity and country, but should extend to every complexion, religion, and climate; encompassing and embracing, like the vaulted arch of heaven, the whole human race. Does not the same sun warm us? Does not the same earth sustain us? We breathe the same air; and the same firmament spreads its glories around us all! Nature points out the mutual connexion; and the laws of civility, of reason, and of revelation, confirm her invincible dictates!
The relation of parent and child, of husband and wife, of rulers and the ruled, must inevitably perish;
"And like the basilefs fabre of a vifion Leave not a wreck behind." The sun may soon be darkened, and the moon withdraw her light! soon may the heavens be gathered up, and the elements melt with fervent heat! but the endearing bonds of benevolence can never be dissolved! They will endure the last combustion of the universe! Benevolence is connected with time and with eternity. It existed in the Godhead at the formation of the world, and will survive its final destruction. The consciousness of a life of pious philanthropy, will yield a grateful support in the hour of sickness; it will spread joy and serenity around the bed of death; it will accompany the believer into the world of spirits; and will be a calm pleader for pardon at the throne of judgment, when God shall be All in All!
"If there be among you (says the meek and didactick prophet of Mount Sinai) a poor man of one of thy brethren, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother?" Can any one who has ever felt the conscious pleasure of performing one benevolent action, smother the impulse of charity or require my feeble excitement for his perseverance? Who command, who control, the respect, the affection, the veneration of mankind? the benevolent and the merciful. Graceful is the tear of sympathy! Endearing, elevated, and rapturous, are the feelings of benevolence! They adorn prosperity, & form the only real superiority derivable from wealth, by enabling the affluent to enjoy the most exquisite refinements of divine sensibility; to relieve the wretched, to release the unfortunate, to support the orphan, to make the widow's heart sing for joy, and to smooth the declining path of debilitated age! The actions of benevolence dilate and expand every sentiment of virtue! they form a vital part of our religion, and encircle it with rays of glory, which render Christianity not only venerable but lovely!
To perform a duty and at the same time render a fellow creature happy might seem ample compensation; but actions of Benevolence have still greater rewards: they constitute pleasures which are not to be limited by the act; they afford in reflection a fresh delight, a renewed felicity: they flow back again to that pure fountain from which they sprang, the human heart, as rivers return their grateful tribute to the parent ocean from whence their fertilizing streams had been exhaled.
Yet the rights of humanity demand that the distribution of charity be carefully regulated, and forbid that it be indiscriminately lavished. We should examine every claim upon our liberality, so as to give a proper direction to the current without interrupting its course. The indolent, the turbulent, the vicious, the ungrateful, have no claims upon the bounty of the opulent; for there is no one exempted from active duty; and the chief aim of each individual should be to discharge that duty, in his particular sphere, with industry, with integrity, and with honor. They who wilfully fail to perform their allotted parts, cannot be entitled to the bounty of the liberal to the reward of the industrious, the funds of the orphan, of the widow, of the aged, or of the unfortunate; such persons are not merely useless, they are noxious members of the community, and deserve like drones to be expelled from the hive of society, for pilfering a large portion of its sweets, while the labor of collecting them devolves upon others.
Neither should our liberality be precarious or indefinite. Accidental bounty is only an approach towards goodness. True benevolence will search for proper objects. The distresses of the worthy and virtuous poor seldom obtrude upon public notice. Innate modesty, humility, and the painful recollection of better days, conceal their wants and frequently clothe the face with a faint smile of contentment, while the heart is corroding with anguish. We should seek for those who have once enjoyed, without abusing the blessing of abundance, who have heretofore lived in situations of decent competency, but who have been reduced by the loss of an husband, or a father, by
casualties, by disease, or by any of the multitude of ills, to which we are all subject; these we should diligently seek, and embrace as the first object of our bounty.
On the stormy passage of life how various are the trials and misfortunes which encompass & distress the mortal voyagers. To some the almighty hath distributed a few drops of bitterness, from the cup of woe; to others, he hath allotted the overflowsings of misery! Look into the habitations of domestic society; do we there behold a single mortal exempted from sorrow! Balance the state of empires; how much reason have we to commiserate the afflictions which render their inhabitants wretched! How short a time has elapsed since the convulsions of other countries, crowded our streets, and covered our shores with scenes of naked calamity! Well can I recollect the wild and maddening features of those want-oppressed fugitives, who fled hither to avoid the horrors of a servile war, in a land where massacre and assassination had long been stalking at large; separating friend from friend; tearing husbands & parents from their wives and children, and rending every tender tie of affection, of gratitude and humanity. Well too, can I recall the soul pleasing emotions with which I beheld the hand of benevolence outstretched for their relief; without inquiring, in that sad hour, whether their own misconduct had had any agency in creating their distresses, the tear was wiped from their eye, and the soothing voice of sympathy spoke peace and comfort to their grief distracted mind.
Alas! the scene was not there closed! How many of those forlorn and helpless victims of savage barbarity are daily thrown upon our protection! How many during the late season of inclemency, shuddered and perished beneath the double scourge of hunger and cold! Unused to labor, perhaps unfurnished with the means of being employed, and restrained by modest pride from the degrading solicitations of alms, how many now pine in want and destitution! Bereft of every earthly support, robbed of friends and of all that rendered life desirable, heart broken and disconsolate, they raise the supplicating eye to heaven, imploring by a look of silent despair, the benign power who gave them being, for the scanty means of preserving it, while it is his pleasure that it should be borne.
Plead not, ye who have the power to give, that ye know not where to bestow your bounties.... Go to the house of mourning....
Excite yourselves to feel what wretches feel, That ye may throw the superfluous to them, And few the heavens more just." Explore, with secret caution, the mansions of distress... ye will require no other guide than a well-intending heart... it will conduct you to the residence of yonder forsaken and solitary widow, who raises her streaming eyes towards her only hope and stay. Silent, expressive, eloquent is her grief, while the assailing cries of infant hunger pierce her soul with many sorrows! Now she speaks to her naked, starving little ones! Hark, listen to her mournful accents! "Alas! my children I have neither food to protract your comfortless existence, nor raiment to guard your shivering bodies from the weather! Your father is gone forever! Death hath blasted every opening prospect; and a cold unyielding world is open before us! Hush! Hush! my tender, helpless innocents!—Shame and the dread of the harsh frown of the unfeeling shall no longer restrain me. I will raise aloud the voice of wretchedness; I will plead for protection in the sanctuary of the Almighty; until compassion melt the soul to mercy."
Have pity upon her ye who are in affluence! every child of humanity have pity upon her! for she is old and poor and full of woe! the hand of God hath pressed her upon her! Shall she plead to christians thus, and shall she not be heard? O cherish the sacred flame of mercy, and let a god-like ardour in the cause of the unhappy, glow within your bosoms! Distinguished among the children of the world by peculiar bounties of providence be no less distinguished by acts of munificence and well directed liberality. Be not contented with negative or accidental charity; extend your search after the suffering; visit the habitations of want; speak consolation to the heart, and wipe the tear from the cheek of misery! So shall the blessings of those who are ready to perish come upon you: and the prayers of the aged, the widow and the fatherless, be offered up, in sincerity for your earthly prosperity, and for your reception into those realms of blessedness, where good actions proceeding from virtuous motives, have their sure and everlasting reward.

The American consul, reported to have been imprisoned by the Spanish government, was liberated a few hours after, it being found that the charges brought forward against him were false, and done by malicious persons.
CHARLESTON May 7.
IT is natural enough at least any man of observation and knowledge will think so, that the very persons who resisted British oppression, and marshalled the ranks, guided the counsels, and animated the enterprise of the patriotic revolutionary Americans, should now be the very people who wish to repress the madness of wild democracy, and are therefore put out of power by our rulers. But who could well believe that the most violent partisans of Britain, and British tyranny and British troops in that revolution are now the most flaming, furious democrats, demagogues, and zealots in what the wisest and best men think little better than jacobinism. Who would imagine that persons who could be so furiously enraged as even to insult a highly respectable Lady, at her own table, for saying that she had intelligence that Lord Cornwallis was taken, and say "he damme he ---Lord Cornwallis and his brave army by a band of rebels!" Who could have imagined we say that such men, would at last be found among the most flaming demagogues, and greatest favorites of the ruling party. A list of the friends and enemies of America,---in 1776, and of the pretended patriots of America now, would make some of our credulous ones stare.
COLUMBIA, (s. c.) April 17.
The long looked for and important trial, on a charge of forgery, between the state and A. Buyck, esquire, was this day again brought forward in court, by Thomas H. Egan, esq. attorney for Mr. Buyck, to bring the same to a conclusion.
Robert Stark, esq. solicitor, in behalf of the state, soon after presented to the grand jury the bill of indictment. The honorable Thomas Taylor, esq. senator of this state, and Benjamin Waring, esq. late treasurer, were brought forward as witnesses, on behalf of the state; the jury being called over, retired. The honorable Thomas Taylor and Benjamin Waring, esq. being duly sworn, proved to the full satisfaction of the jury, the validity of the signature of commodore A. Gillon. The jury soon after brought in their verdict - "NO BILL;" on which his honor Judge Wilds, dismissed Mr. Buyck, from the prosecution. Mr. Egan then moved the court for a copy of all the proceedings against Mr. Buyck, and to restore to Mr. Buyck the original certificate on which the prosecution was founded. Mr. Stark then moved that the certificate should not be given up to Mr. Buyck, but that he would send it to the comptroller general; on which Mr. Buyck addressed himself to the honorable judge in a pathetic and feeling manner, of the illegality of the proceedings against him for near seventeen months -without being able to obtain a trial, and hoping that the certificate would be returned to him.
Mr. Stark then said that he had received the certificate from the comptroller general, and that it must be again returned to him. Mr. Buyck, observed that at the time when it was intimated to him that the certificate was considered as spurious, he voluntarily, without delay, and without being called on, had the certificate presented to Mr. Hamilton, then comptroller general, which he refused to accept of, and that ultimately Mr. Lee, the present comptroller general, at that time clerk of the honorable house of representatives, condescended to take it in charge till the honorable house should call for it.
Mr. Buyck, further observed that he had been long detained from his right by the state, that his finances were exhausted, & has in consequence of the prosecution, & in endeavoring to obtain his right, he had been put to an immense expense, that his family needed his attention at home, and that it was inconvenient for him to go to the comptroller general in Charleston, for the certificate which he now wanted here as his right.
Richard Gaunt esq. then addressed himself to the honorable judge, and said he considered the certificate to be Mr. Buyck's property, on which his honor the judge ordered the certificate to be given up to Mr. Buyck.

It was a wise resolution of our wisdom-nious legislature, that of twelve Directors of the Norfolk Branch of the Virginia Bank, the magical number nine should be elected from that sect known to be 'exclusive and genuine republicans, "men of sound republican principles."-well mark the result. It has pleased the President of the United States to appoint Thomas Newton, Esq. Collector of the Customs of this port; and, consequently, it became necessary to choose in his stead a President of the Branch Bank. Two gentlemen were nominated, Richard E. Lee, Esquire, and Littleton W. Tazewell, Esquire; the Directors have voted several times without effect, the board being divided, and each party adhering, with inflexible integrity, to its candidate. The consequence of this p-ecinity is that the business of the institution (except the ordinary process of receiving and paying money) is now at a stand; yesterday was discount day, but for want of a President nothing could be done. The bank has for the present lost half its title; it is an office of Deposit but not of Discount.
Since the above was composed, we are informed that Doctor William B. Selden has been unanimously elected a Director, and afterwards President of the Office of Discount and Deposit of the Bank of Virginia.
Schooner Iris, Pearson, of Federicksburg, left Porto Rico on the her return home April 1.
On the 8th in lat. 27, long. about 36, she was captured by a French privateer Musquito, Bernard commander, and ordered back to Porto Rico, with only one of her crew on board. The pirates robbed capt. Pearson, his crew and the vessel, of every thing they could remove; abused the captain very much; stripped, tied up and severely flogged Mr. Carter the mate, and a black man; kept them three days on board the privateer, until meeting with a brig bound to Rhode Island, they first plundered the captain (among other things of 295 dollars,) and then put capt. Pearson, his crew, and several other prisoners on board.
May 10.
Arrived, the brig George, Owens, 13 days from Antigua and Turk's Island; 30th of April, in lat. 24, 7, fell in with the French privateer schr. Musquito, which put on board of us captain Thomas Gorden and crew of the schooner Anna, of Baltimore, from St. Domingo, laden with coffee -which schooner was captured by said privateer on the eleventh of April. The captain of the privateer gave captain Gorden and crew 36 lashes and confined them in irons every night. The schooner Iris, captain Samuel Pearson of Norfolk, was a prize to the said privateer. We understand that the schooner when captured was homeward bound from Porto Rico, laden with coffee and cocoa. They caused a negro, by severe whipping, to swear that she was from Cape Francois.
An English brig, and Providence wrecker, were likewise prizes to the said privateer.
Brig Catherine, Seeward, 12 days from Antigua.

FOR SALE, That well-known situation for a Mill, Where Mr. James Douglass's mill stood; laying on Difficult Run , about one quarter of a mile from Potomac river , and about half a mile from the Great Falls of said river. There is on the land a dwelling-house, I believe 40 feet by 24, a kitchen 24 feet by 16, all in complete order, cooper's house, school house, &c.
