Messrs. EDITORS,
"WE have fallen on evil times," was the observation of one who held the first rank in society, and every day proves the truth of the remark; among all those who have thrown in their mite and publicly expressed their opinion on the conduct of our executive; none has reached the golden line of truth with more energy and propriety, than the writer of Americanus, whose excellent productions first made their appearance in the South-Carolina State Gazette; my object, therefore, in offering a few observations for publication in your paper, is to endeavor to remove a prejudice unhappily too prevalent among the editors of our federal prints, I mean the admission of scarcely a single piece of original matter, which has been published in another paper; this conduct I conceive to be erroneous, it is hurtful to the cause of federalism; because the productions of the best informed writers are confined to small circles, and very seldom reach farther than the confines of a particular neighbourhood.
How very different is the conduct of the Demo-cratic editors, (if I may use the term) you will on a perusal of their treasonable, deistical, atheistical and modern philosophic sheets, find that no piece which, in any degree, either as tending to create the unruly passions of the vulgar and illiterate, to bias the judgment of the weak and credulous, or to excite the ambitious views of the vicious demagogue and dissatisfied itinerant alien, but is republished from New-Hampshire to Georgia; it is by this constant and inflexible rule that their poisonous principles of disorganization are spread thro' these states, and the virulence of this poison can never be effaced, or even partially stopped, until federalism, from one end of the continent to the other, be firmly united—in vain shall the friends of good order use their endeavors, when their efforts are disjointed, and the phalanx of virtue and integrity continue disunited.—These questions will, therefore, naturally arise: How are their various efforts, and how are the virtuous toils of the faithful husbandman in the vineyard of political truth, to be united? And, further, how are the scattered champions in the cause of religion and morality to be drawn together, to be effectually to oppose the daring outrages of a dastardly, ambuscading foe? The reply is not more easily made, than the necessary means to be used, are to be acquired; the very mode pursued by our opponents, is the only effectual one, it is only to the virtue and patriotism of the federal editors that our hopes can be realized; and this by republishing every piece which tends to withdraw the insidious mask which may cover the infamous designs of ruling and corrupt demagogues; who openly profess one thing and daringly do another; whose syren, fascinating tongues speak peace, and whose base, unmanly, cowardly hearts, break in upon the repose of those who are real patriots, virtuous officers, and honest men; these observations have been drawn from me, after the perusal of many of the most respectable federal prints in the Union, in which I have noticed the omission of those excellent pieces Americanus.—The truths which he has disclosed, ought to be told from one end of the continent to the other; the humiliating and disgraceful situation in which every American is placed by the appointment of that exotic Galatin, is painted in such glowing colours, the lines are so correct, and the design so just, that every American ought to be in the possession of this masterly performance; and were Americans to throw aside for a moment the veil of party, less skill would be necessary to portray in colours sufficiently lively to excite abhorrence and disgust—The only sensations would arise, and these question only be asked.
Why fell Montgomery, Warren, and tens of thousands in their country's cause? Why were our towns and villages ransacked and plundered? Why was the ardor of Americans called forth on the plains of Columbia, in a seven years bloody contest; and why the orphan's gallant parent and the widow's valiant husband's cold and mangled corpse suffered to remain uncovered on the sanguinary plains of Monmouth, &c. ? all, all—to make GALATIN yes GALATIN, the first officer of your Treasury; for shame, you who have feared the rights of a Washington, yet for reasons best known to yourselves, have advocated different measures, are you not call down, do you not feel the disgrace? Yes; you feel it, and your wrangling bosoms are now torn in silent anguish; you will soon discover the fatal rocks on which you have thrown our political barque, and it will require your best endeavours to withdraw her from the perilous state into which she is by your folly unhappily thrown; ere long you will in the bitterness of your hearts cry aloud,
"Is there not some hidden thunder, some Chosen curse amidst the fires of Heaven, Red with uncommon wrath to blast the man, Who owes his greatness to his country's ruin."
I have, Messrs. Editors, in some measure, digressed from my intended subject, but my feelings as an American on a review of such damning heresy as is daily coming into view, has transported me farther than I at this time intended to go. You shall again hear from me soon. A VIRGINIAN. Alexandria, 22d Aug, 1801.
From the N. England Palladium.
NOVANGLUS.
I HAVE said, that one cause of our present decline is an increasing neglect to execute the laws which relate to religion and manners. A vigilant attention then to the execution of law will be among the means to be prescribed for a remedy.
If a principle of general philanthropy prevailed, so as to govern the conduct of individuals, in the various relations of social life, it would effectually maintain order in the moral, as the principle of gravitation does in the natural world; and would, in a great measure supercede the necessity of all other laws whatever. But experience shows, that the opposite principle has, hitherto, generally prevailed in the world, and, in its operation, has held individuals in a state of mutual repulsion, analogous to that which is found, in certain circumstances, among the insensible corpuscles of matter, removed beyond the sphere of each other's attraction: or, has caused them to speak in direct language, to subordinate all things to private interest. In such a state, individuals must, in their pursuits, be brought into perpetual collision with each other, and their intersecting claims must be decided by force alone; power and right will, in effect, be the same. Thus the natural state of man is a state of war.—It is a state of infinite and interminable confusion and misery.—Of this evil, government is the only remedy. This is nothing else than a voluntary union of a convenient number of individuals, under certain forms, into one political person or body, so organized, as that the will of that body may be made known and executed, in all cases, for the defence, prosperity and honor of the body or society, and its members, and this will is law.
Government would be most perfect where this will is always correct, and where it is promptly and universally obeyed; it would be so, in the next degree, when the opposers of this will are, in all cases, where the public good does not admit of a pardon, speedily subjected to the legal penalty: It would be on the decline, when such opposers whether rich or poor, begin

be able to pass with impunity; and it would rapidly approach to the period of dissolution, when they are become numerous and powerful.
An individual, who, in pursuing good, or avoiding evil, can, by an act of volition, command every member of his body, and every faculty of his mind, to instant and strenuous exertion, according to the degree of force he may possess, is perfect. And, in proportion as the connection between his volitions and exertions ceases, he is imperfect. So a state which, by its volitions or laws, can control all its members and their resources, on all emergencies, as the common good and safety requires, according to the degree of force it may possess, is also perfect; and so far as it fails short of this, it is imperfect. I shall not be thought, I hope, to digress too far from my subject, in remarking, that under every supposable form of government the power ought to be supreme. It cannot reasonably be objected to this, that such power may be abused, for, under the notion of preventing evil, by a limitation of power, you will equally prevent good; you will render the state incompetent to the purposes of its own existence and happiness. Such caution would be as absurd, as to bind a man in chains, because he can, if he please, destroy himself; and so prevent his exercising his faculties in his own defence and support. The point is, to deposit the power under such circumstances, that they, who exercise it, cannot find sufficient motives to abuse it. The legislative power, however, will not ordinarily extend itself so far, as to take cognizance of the common actions of the citizens; for this would be hurtful; if indeed it were practicable, but it will take cognizance even of those actions, when they prove injurious to others, or to the public. This, however, is not properly a limitation of power, it is rather such a limitation of its exercise as a sound discretion prescribes. It results, in part from the imperfection of human governments; they cannot embrace, because they cannot manage a field so extended. The government of God reaches the thoughts, words and actions, of all intelligent creatures; in his hands, such a government is desirable, because he can and will administer it wisely, and without the possibility of error or mistake. But human governments will not ordinarily control men in the pursuit of their several enjoyments, provided they so use their own, as not to injure the rights of others.
But whenever the will of the state is made known, as it is in its laws, it binds the consciences of all the citizens, and every soul should be subject to it, unless it be clearly contrary to the law of God; in which case, he must obey God rather than man. If the will of the state require me to commit murder, to steal, or to lie, to prostrate myself before an idol as an act of worship, or to deny the Christian faith, I may not obey; because I am bound by a superior law; but this is the only exception which, as it respects an individual can exist. The cases which affect the great mass of the people so as to justify resistance, I consider not.
An action, lawful in itself, if prohibited by law, becomes morally evil; for we must be subject not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. If the law, for instance, forbid the taking of more than six per cent. interest for the loan or forbearance of one hundred pounds for a year, whatever I may think of the policy of the law, it binds my conscience; I must submit my will to this, as well as to every other ordinance of man, for the Lord's sake. It is no sound answer to the state to say, if I choose to risk the penalty, I am at liberty to violate the law, & when I have borne the penalty I shall stand right with the law. For, though the law have no further demands, yet the infliction of the penalty for my disobedience does not constitute me a good citizen; I still merit disapprobation as much as before. If all my fellow-citizens should follow my example, in like cases, there would be an end of government. The bad effect of my example may be prevented indeed by the infliction of the penalty; but for this the state is entitled to credit, and not I. The law may, in my opinion, be impolitic, but this circumstance will not justify me, for that point has been determined against me by the proper judges; and the law is equally binding on me, as on those who approve of it. My conduct is criminal chiefly because it goes on a principle which unanges society.—The principle is, that any man may, without the least moral turpitude, transgress
any such law of the state, which he may deem impolitic. This at once opens the door to general licentiousness; for very few laws can be found in any civil code, which multitudes would not consider of this description.
As far as the will of individuals is permitted to run counter to that of the state, constitutionally expressed and published, with impunity; so far, government, that inestimable blessing, is broken down; and so far, have we returned back to the state of nature, the state of war, the state of wretchedness of all others the worst, from which we shall recoil with horror, as from a tempestuous sea wide-yawning to devour, to the calmer harbor of despotism.
There are many statutes, in the state codes, relating to religion and manners, which every sober man approves, and which no legislature have ever thought of repealing, but which, however, lie as a sword in the scabbard, almost wholly inoperative, and answer very little purpose, except as a kind of monument, or way-marks, to show how far we are removed from the ground occupied by our ancestors who erected them; and to warn us of the approaching fate of the remaining institutions of the venerable system, under which our character has been formed, as an intelligent, virtuous and happy people.

MONDAY, AUGUST 24.
Information is received from St. Thomas, by capt. Johnson, arrived yesterday, of the expected evacuation, in a few days, of that island, by the British troops stationed there, on account of the differences between the Danes and his Britannic majesty being settled. The Danes will probably re-possess all their islands in the West-Indies, lately captured by the English under the command of Adm. Duckworth. [N. Y. Gaz. of 19th inst.]
Extract of a letter from a young gentleman on board the brig Atlantic, capt. Brown, to his friend in Newburyport, dated
MONTSERRAT, July 14.
On the 12th inst. we failed from Guadalupe—at 5 P. M. being off Point Antigua a small English Privateer fired upon us and brought us too. They hailed in French and had French colours flying, ordered our boat out, and the capt. to come on board. The boat being large, and heavy sea against us, we were considerable time in getting her in the water. The privateersmen thinking we were longer than we ought to be discharged a volley of musketry but fortunately did no damage. The captain repaired on board immediately with 4 hands—They took his papers from him, sent a prize master and 7 men and ordered us for Montserrat where we arrived yesterday morning. What will be our fate I am unable to say but believe we shall be cleared after spending perhaps, the greatest part of our cargo.
A ship pump of a new construction has lately been invented in this city by G.
Clymer, an ingenious mechanic. A great imperfection in pumps on every principle hitherto invented, is, that they are liable to be choked, and get out of repair, by the dirt and gravel lodging in the bottom of the vessel, this imperfection is completely obviated, by the invention of Mr. Clymer, as a demonstration of which he throws an 18 pound ball into the well, which was pumped up and delivered in a few seconds.
This experiment was made on Tuesday last before the governor, judge Peters, commander Barry, Mr. Latrobe and several other respectable citizens, who spoke of the invention in terms of approbation, and we hope for the good of mankind that it may be fairly tried, and meet with the encouragement it deserves.
Phil. paper.
Since France has groaned under such a succession of petty tyrants, as have been produced by the Revolution, its approximation towards individual despotism, is according to the following lines in Goldsmith, a kind of natural consequence.
"Calm is my soul, not apt to rise in arms, Except when first approaching danger warns: But when contending chiefs blockade the throne, Contracting regal power, to stretch their own; When I behold a factious band agree, To call it freedom when themselves are free; Rear, pity, justice, indignation part, Tear off reserve, and bear my swelling heart; Till half a patriot, half a coward grown, I fly from petty tyrants to the Throne."
NORTHAMPTON, August 12.
Mr. Butler, The alarming prevalence of the Dysentery in this vicinity, has induced me to send for publication, the following receipts for the cure of that all-destroying malady. The simplicity of the remedies prescribed, it is hoped, will induce those affected with the disorder, to make trial of their efficacy.
RECEIPT 1.
Take new churned butter without salt, and just skimming off the curd, part when melted over a clear fire, give two spoonful of the clarified remainder, twice or thrice within the day, to the person affected—This has never failed to make almost an instant cure, even when administered to persons at the point of death, and who were solemnly resigned to that last cure of every malady, by their physician's farewell sentence.
RECEIPT 2.
Take a large apple, pick out the core, and fill the cavity with honey-comb, (the honey being strained out) cover it with hot ashes, till roasted soft, then mix it together, and eat it all at once, it commonly gives ease in about half an hour.
RECEIPT 3.
Take any quantity of good vinegar, and add as much clean table salt as it will dissolve; to three spoonful of the brine and six spoonful of boiling water; let the patient take two table spoonful as hot as it can be supped from a spoon once in two hours.
N. B. The above is for an adult: the strength and quantity must be varied for children, according to their age and constitution.
DEATH OF GEN. GUNN.
Extract of a letter from Louisville, Georgia, dated July 31.
"General Gunn arrived here last Saturday, and died last night at 11 o'clock—a very short illness. It is said that his death was greatly owing to a draught of cold water after the taking of medicine; and what is strange, the doctor and several gentlemen were in the room, and not one observed his death till some time after he had expired. He is to be buried this afternoon with the honors of war."

[London paper.]
We have been favoured with a copy of an Oration, delivered before the Cincinnati, at Newport, R. I. on the 4th of July last, by William Hunter, Esq. Among the cloud of ephemeral productions on this occasion, it is with pleasure we meet with one marked by a style nervous and erudite; by sentiments correct and manly; and by patriotism genuine and fervid. The recent clamors on this day, instead of illustrating the great principles on which our independence was founded—instead of enforcing the invaluable maxims of morality and civil subordination, without which society is but a wilderness—have almost invariably rendered their discourses the vehicles of the most despicable doctrines. Instead of endeavouring to unite our citizens in an universal band of amity, they have wickedly scattered the torches of discord—promulgating nothing but hatred and intolerance towards each other. Nor has the evil of these productions terminated here.—It is a favourite topic with these Orators, to defame and abuse the British government, with which we are in perfect peace and understanding. There is as much vice as indecorum in this conduct. It has a tendency to excite in our citizens an improper partiality for France, while at the same time, it unnecessarily reconstitutes antipathies and prejudices, which, as a nation, it is our interest to bury in oblivion—Americans ought to check so malignant and dangerous a spirit.
The author of the oration before us, after very modestly appealing to the candor of his audience, in behalf of an hurried production, reverts to the nature of the events which had rendered the 4th of July glorious and memorable to America. In tracing the origin and motives of our revolution, he repels with becoming dignity the attempt which has frequently been made, to draw an analogy between it and the revolution in France. In a few words he marks the lines of difference:
“We invented no new principles—“we moved within definite limits for a definite object.” Our right was grounded on law, as to its existence not denied by the whole nation against whom we contended. And as to its correct application, acknowledged by the most enlightened and respectable portion of that nation.—It was law—in support of which its ablest pens and most eloquent tongues had been exercised, and its greatest spirits had acted & suffered. Our object was to have the benefits of that acknowledged law. Our war was not one of ambition or aggrandizement, but of justice and necessity.—We were economical of blood, and conducted our unhappy, but inevitable contest, as rational and accountable beings. These wild, delusive, fascinating, but fantastic theories of liberty and equality, the offspring of modern times, were never adopted by us, much less furiously propagated.”
Pursuing the same subject, he says:—“In our revolution, we contended not for an abstract and metaphysical liberty, founded on this equality, for like other abstractions, we knew it was not to be found. We did with the axe of a Vandal, level in a moment, what taste, industry, and refinement, had been ages in erecting. Unlike the revolutionists in France, the rights of man did not constitute with us, a plea for the destruction of the rights of citizens. We did not use the sovereignty of the people, as a pretext for the subversion of all civil society, the extinction of morality, and the overthrow of religion. We interfered not with the concerns of other nations, we did not arrogate to ourselves a right to dictate constitutions, or drive powerlesss but unoffending nations under the yoke of our domination. True patriotism animated, real injuries inflamed our spirits; we fought for our country, our altars, our homes.”
Not, impelled by wild ambition for fame, for plunder, or extended power.—We let up no constitution, as the paragon of perfection, and the model of imitation. As the idol, before which all the nations of the earth were to fall down and worship—under the penalty of being cast into the burning fiery furnace of our displeasure. No State has marked with terror the progress of our armies, spreading desolation. No State has had to mourn, in bitterness and affliction, the encumbrance of our friendship. We did not imitate the cruelty of the ancient tyrant, who
having altered his victims to embrace, as if in sport, the beautiful but lifeless statue of a Venus, found a dagger spring from her bosom, and pierce them to the heart. In what, then, does this pretended similarity of the French revolution to ours consist? Is it because they threw down the mild monarchy of Louis, to make way for the despotism of Bonaparte? Is it because they have erected the immense pyramid of their power, upon the ruin of empires, with the bones of whole nations, and cemented it with the blood of millions? Do we find this resemblance in an expiring commerce, in a discouraged agriculture and annihilated manufactures? Is it because we borrowed the aid of revolutionary tribunals, sanctioned murder by law, and encouraged assassination by legislative bounties? Is it in the idiot ridicule of all religion, and boasting professions of mad impiety? In the adoration of a statue of liberty, bespattered with blood from the contiguous guillotine? In the before unheard of worship of a harlot, tricked out as the goddess of reason, in a gorgeous drapery, so thin and adhesive as to heighten, by affecting to conceal her meretricious charms, to stimulate instead of suppressing unauthorized desire. Has any man here, been bold enough, with his eyes looking abroad on nature, seeing the power of God declared in all his works, from the mols that creeps round the rock to the sun that blazes in the heavens, in full day, with the reproaching light of that sun, darting on his head, has any man here been bold enough to deny his existence, to spurn his mercy, to deride his power.”
In the following there is much to applaud and admire.
“Let us resist innovation, and beware of pretended improvement, however speciously proposed, in this age of rash adventure, and heedless experiment. The chaste Ionic structure of our constitution, admits not the corinthian capital of nobility and a crown would be a brilliant burden, an incongruous excrescence, which the eye of legitimate taste would disapprove, and the virtuous, and indignant disapprobation of our country destroy. Yet slander, “more cruel than the sword,” has imputed to some of the best characters of our country, the very framers of the constitution, whom one would naturally suppose to be fond of their own work, and who by their actions have shown the most confirmed and partial affection for it—it has attributed to them, the strange and chimerical notion of introducing monarchy and aristocracy. And this calumny was propagated by artful ambition, and caught at by stupid credulity when those characters were in the dutiful administration of their regular authorities, under a constitution they had sworn to support, that guarantees a republican form of government that excludes stars, titles, ribbons, and all the absurd gew gaws of artificial pre-eminence, and defines with unexampled precision, the form of election, the duration and extent of the powers of its executive. We have too much reason to believe that these artful and dangerous calumnies, were meant merely as a cover to dark designs, and unwarrantable intentions,—the mere stuff and straw of a party, versed in stratagems, burnt to raise a smoke to cover their advance, to the attack of the best depositary of our rights, the most sacred citadel of our freedom.”
The preceding selections are sufficient to evince the principles and talents of Mr. Hunter. They are such as to entitle him to the esteem of his countrymen, and to the respect of all good men.

AMERICA AND BRITAIN.
A late number of the Waterford Mirror, (a paper lately established by Mr. John Bull, some time ago of New-York) contains the following remarks in its Political Review of American Affairs:—
“THE United States alone in this quarter of the globe, claim our attention, and they merit it, from every motive that can render the subject of importance, heightened by the comparative insignificance of the surrounding nations.”
When in the lapse of ages, the present time shall become remote antiquity; if England shall have experienced the lot which seems to be common to kingdoms, as well as their inhabitants, and have suffered as a state a political dissolution; when either forming a part of some great empire, the very name of which cannot even now be guessed at, or fallen back into its original wild and forest state; at that
period will its name be known, and its glory remembered, for having given birth to empires, kingdoms, and Republics, in America, and the ancient parent shall live again in a brilliant offspring.
It has been usual to apply the image of parental relationship to the connection between a colony and the country from whence it proceeded; in the present instance we may continue the resemblance farther: America has been separated from England, the struggle has been severe, and the throes violent; but in this it has imitated the course of nature in similar cases in animal life. These painful convulsions will, we hope, cease to be remembered in the one case, as well as they always are in the other, and England forget her sorrows on the occasion, for joy that a man-child has been born into the world.—
And though we are no advocates for the system which inculcates the existence of the same duties between the colony and the mother state, as between parent and child (which is but a poetic argument at best) yet we hope that the relationship will not be forgotten, but be the means of exciting each nation to acts of friendship and mutual attention, in like manner as those which subsist between the abovenamed connexions, when each acts separately and independently in the world, and when commands and obedience are no more thought of; and that America and England, will yet rival, in this instance, the tender amity for which Tyre and Carthage were famous.
But laying aside all metaphor and allusion, and considering the point in the most serious light, we have still the juilest grounds for a hope of a permanent friendship between the two states, if not as active allies in war, at least in every other point of view. The same laws, the same manners, the same language, must always give a preference of intercourse and connexion, which no other circumstances can equal in any other countries: add to this, the great advantage of dealing that must be between a monied, a mercantile and manufacturing people, and a nation which produces in abundance all the articles the other wants, as well grain as raw materials of every sort. Where can Americans get better articles or on longer credit than in England? Where can England be better supplied with objects of consumption and commerce than in America? Interests then unites them, and we think ever will.
An American coming to England, if he supposes our King an hereditary President, and puts the word Lord for Senator, will find every thing nearly the same as in his own country, even as to the mode of government; and an Englishman going to America, and supposing the President a triennial King, will see little difference between the people he left and his new friends. Is not this then, an additional triumph to the English constitution, that it is that which the happiest nation on earth has adopted so entirely, that it is very nearly only in mere names any difference subsists.
All those causes above mentioned have operated to keep up friendship between us, even at the most unfavorable crisis, when jealousies were strongest, and temptations greatest, at one side at least, for a rupture; we have, therefore, every reason to hope for its continuance, when every day must weaken the few jealousies that remain, and shew the advantage of the connexion still stronger. In fact, if America has occasion to be apprehensive of any European nation, England is the last it should think of; England has already tried the contest, and has much to lose, and nothing to gain in a new one, in which it must inevitably lose a lucrative commerce, a fishery at Newfoundland, (a possession of the highest value, both as a nursery of seamen, and affording the only line of employing them from whence human subsistence is procured) its possession in Canada and Nova Scotia, to say nothing of the danger the West-India islands must incur.
It is, on the contrary, from the enemy of England, that the greatest danger proceeds to the United States; they should never forget the encroaching policy of the French, and that at this moment they are virtually their neighbors, having at their command Louisiana and the neighbouring countries west of the Mississippi, through the medium of the Spaniards, who, if not their slaves, can at least refuse them nothing: and this is no vain surmise: there have been frequent and creditable rumors that the French are actually preparing an armament to take possession of Louisiana! If the Americans permit this, and suffer
themselves to be deceived by the cant and wordynothings of the French, with their fraternite liberte ; and the other terms of incantation with which they seem to have spell-bound the senses of nations, they will bitterly repent it; and we are decisive in asserting that it will cost the lives of thousands of their countrymen to remedy an oversight which a little foresight would now effectually prevent.
THE ODD FELLOW.
Your odd fellow is one who will do nothing like the rest of the world. There was, a few years ago a remarkable illustration of this character in one White, a man of a small independent fortune, who lived in the borough of Southark, England; this man acted wholly, upon the principles of contradiction: On a Sunday he always wore the worst clothes, and fed on the worst food he could get, because others both eat and wore the best: on a Monday, because it is a kind of a holiday, he used to employ himself in some sort of work from morning till night; the rest of the week he kept holiday, dressing himself just decent on a Tuesday, better on a Wednesday, better still on Thursday, and so on till by Saturday evening, when other people were busy and undressed, he was the idlest and best dressed man in the parish; he used to make a point of dining on a goose on Shrove Tuesday, and on pancakes on Michaelmas day: He fed upon oysters as long as the weather continued hot, but left off eating them as soon as there was an R. in the month; he almost starved himself on Christmas day, and eat like a glutton, when there was a public proclamation for a fast; when it rained hard he went without his waistcoat or great coat, but would button himself up close and warm in the hottest day in summer; he wrote with a quill cut into the form of a pen, and fastened his letters with paste; he constantly set on a low table, and eat off a chair; he slept in his kitchen, breakfasted in his garret, dined in the cellar and eat his supper all the year round in the passage leading to the street door; he married three wives and lived with neither of them; he would frequently pay a waterman to take his boat, and attend him on the banks of the Thames, but never got into it; and once a month he hired a coach, but always rode with the coachman; he sometimes called for a pot of purl at an alehouse, and always drank it at the door; he shaved himself with a penknife, and combed his wig with a clothesbrush; he sometimes went to church and staid the whole service, but never sat down;—when in company, he never spoke a word, but when alone he was always talking to himself; when he was sick he sent for the butcher, but often when in health he consulted the apothecary; he paid his house rent in the middle of the quarter, and always before it came due; when he died he owed no man a shilling, and took sufficient care that no man should ever owe him sixpence.
YOUNG and MANLY, sons of St. Crispin, in Philadelphia, announce a great and important improvement in their art—that is, to make boots and shoes in conformity to the shape of their customers' legs and feet!—They promise to “attend to the anatomical formation and various flexions of each leg and foot, and their component parts. This being heretofore unattended to by the craft, no wonder, they say, that the complaints of misfitting have been general. But the genius of Crispin has length discovered that men have right and left feet and has pursued his researches to the operative causes of freedom, and ease, and equal pressure. Stand at ease! is the word. Corns, twisted heels, and lacerated insteps, are thus prevented, by each customer having a last or lasts made to suit the particular anatomical formation of each foot, and reserved solely for his use.”
