THE LAY PREACHER.
"Hate not laborious work, neither husbandry."
The dissolution of ice and snow being now fully accomplished by that potent chemist, the sun, the provident husbandman, refreshed by the rest of winter, and gladdened by the view of many a spot of vivid green sward, thinks it time to leave his afternoon pot of beer unfinish'd and prepare for the labours of spring. But, since many, attached to ease and the fire side, are unwilling to put their hands to the plow, and strive to put off the evil day of furrowing the fields, I will endeavour to convince every procrastinating labourer, that nothing is so laborious, as having nothing to do.
If a fretful farmer, who, in some rainy day, thinks no employment is so toil-some as that which he exercises, will cast his eyes upon the various idlers, sauntering along with pale cheeks and gouty limbs, from Dan to Beersheba, he will be convinced that mowing in July, and haling wood in December, are less fatiguing than pleasure's race. When an inquisitive being asks why there is so much vice and misery in this world, I conceive no answer would be more pertinent, than because the vicious the miserable have, at some period of their lives, been haters of laborious work and husbandry.
What is it but this aversion to labour, and a phantastic wish to be free from care, that urges so many to exchange health for whisky, and their money for a game of cards? Why are so many rheumatic limbs propped by crutches? Why does the attorney commence such frequent suits for the innkeeper; and why in a jail are the debtors' rooms crowded? If the hoe, the spade, and the field could speak, they would say "because men hearken to the whispers of fancy, or the persuasions of indolence, and forsake us, the best allies in life's warfare."
Unless the sower go forth to sow, he cannot expect sixty, or a hundred fold. Unless men sometimes love laborious work, and husbandry, they will not reckon on much fine gold, not be eagerly enquired after in the gate. The ages of miracles are past; and I know not whether man has a right to expect that Providence will interpose particularly in his favour, and give him bread, if he will not be at the pains to leaven it.
That ancient adjudication, which sentenced Adam to eat bread in the sweat of his brow, has been harshly denominated a curse, by unthinking christians. But it is demonstrable that the necessity for labour is one of the highest blessings of life, and without this necessity, other blessings would lose half their value. In the initial stanza of one of his first compositions, a favourite author has uttered this eternal truth with equal grace and energy:
O mortal man, who livest here by toil, Do not complain of this thy hard estate That, like an emmet, thou must ever moil Is a sad sentence of an ancient date;
And, certes, there is for reason great;
For, though, sometimes it makes thee weep and wail, And curse thy star and early drudge and late, Without that would come an heavier bale Loose life, unruly passions, and diseased pale.
The ancient poets, delighting in fiction, have amused themselves and credulous readers with a gorgeous description of the golden age. An age, which, according to poetical chronology, existed prior to the primal curse. In this blest period, as the fables of Ovid tell, no coulter pierced the earth's surface, honey distilled from oaks, and wine gurgled spontaneously from springs. This is undoubtedly a vision of the night.—But, if it had been realized, and men, like the austere governor in the gospel, could have reaped where they had not sown, and gathered where they had not strewed, such a state of inaction would produce an extreme of weariness, more intolerable than the drudgery of the field. A profound observer has remarked that if all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious as to work; and if we mark the men of pleasure, whom the legacy, or the partiality of parents has enriched, we shall discover the truth of this observation. Who is so anxious, who loses so much rest, who so worketh with his hands, as the nocturnal gamester? What perils, what storms, what fatigue the drunkard encounters, navigating the raging ocean of wine.
To what injury, and to what infamy is the libertine exposed, who nightly haunts the recesses of debauchery, or who provokes the vengeance of the husband by tempting the loyalty of the wife. What toils, what watchings, what anxiety are endured by every sensualist, whether he roves through the Haram of Variety, or labours to sully the purity of virgin innocence: yet all these make delight a trade, "And coy perdition every hour pursue."
For myself, I cannot help thinking, that cutting tender grass is more easy, than cutting unlucky cards; that the labourer with a corn basket on his shoulder is less burdened, than the tipler with the load of his stomach; and that the "flaxen-headed plough-boy," tracing the straight and undeviating furrow, has a lighter task to fulfil, than he, who bewilders himself in the mazes of wantonness, who in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night, hurries after her, who is emphatically called "the strange woman," and whose house is the way to Hell, going down to the chambers of Death.
Repair then with alacrity, happy husbandmen, to laborious work. Trust me, ye sleep sounder than he, who advises you, and who is destined to have no acres to till, but who, with throbbing temples, toils over the weekly sermon. As I wander through rural lanes, with a head perplexed with anxious thought, and with a heart lacerated by many an arrow of adversity, still I am always tranquillized, when I regard the operations of agriculture. I gaze with pleasure at your bursting barns, your well ordered cottages, and your fruitful fields. I see that, in consequence of your labour, you are healthy and happy. While you, found, drive your teams afield, and inhale the balsamic flavour of the earth, you consult your fortune by the one, and your preservation by the other. Continue to venerate the plough and to feed the ox, and you will turn up gold with the first, and draw to your dwelling fine gold with the second. Let others, as it has been eloquently said, dig for factitious wealth in the bowels of the earth, your brighter ore is derived from its upper stratum.

Shakespeare: who in numerous passages of his matchless dialogues, faithful to truth and nature, has eloquently recommended habitual industry, and who was himself a signal and glorious example of ardent application, associated with the most creative genius.
This picturesque phrase of king Solomon, expressed with all the energy and magnificence of oriental diction, is peculiarly memorable, because every apostrophe of the Jewish Prince, was the dictate of experience, as we abundantly learn both from his dolest history and public declarations.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
INVASION.
The Courier de Londres, of Tuesday, under the head of Paris, contains the two following letters, which it says, have excited a great sensation in the military circles:
Gen. Moreau to Lieutenant General Duroc. Paris, September 9.
GENERAL. I have received the letter which you have done me the honor to write to me in the name of the first consul, offering me a command in the expedition against England. I thought that my opinion on that enterprise was sufficiently known to have saved me from the unpleasantness of rejecting such a proposition. I shall, however, answer with the frankness of a soldier, who can explain himself the more easily, without reserve, upon the present occasion, as he has given some proofs of courage and done his country some important services; and besides, general, I consider your letter as being rather intended to sound my intentions, than as transmitting to me orders. I have never been the advocate of maritime expeditions, particularly since I have seen the remnant of our marine and the choice of our armies, swallowed up in them with astonishing rapidity. I think that, in forming enterprises, the issue of which is very uncertain, and the result of which may give a mortal blow to the government which conceives them, and to the nation which seconds them, one ought to be forced to them by circumstances so imperious, that the safety and honour of the state would be compromised, if one should make a retrograde step that should discover weakness or irresolution.
But I do not see that the present circumstances oblige us to risk, against a thousand unfavourable chances, the greater part of our land forces; and that re-generating marine, which is beginning to be created as it were by magic, by an enthusiastic and industrious people, I have asked myself, when I saw, the considerable armaments that were making for the re-occupation or acquisition of our colonies, whether the peace were so solid that we should hope to be able to preserve what we had recovered or acquired, and if the restoration of our commerce were so necessary or so certain that we ought to employ in it so much treasure and so many soldiers. Let the first consul permit a soldier, who feels a lively attachment to his old companions in arms, to express here some regret for the unfortunate events in the too bold combinations which have destroyed so great a number of them. This regret will explain to him my present opinion of the expedition preparing, and my regret to take a part in the direction of it. We had the best army in Europe, the best means of recruiting our forces weakened by eleven years of war. In its place we have now corps almost entirely composed of conscripts, among whom we no longer observe the veteran soldiers; but like those ruins which attest the grandeur and magnificence of those edifices which time has overthrown.
At present, if we may judge from the immense preparations that are making, from the concentration of our forces, upon points near the coast, recollecting declarations made by government, and the reports which it accredits, the business in hand is nothing less than a desperate enterprise, the improbable success of which would be the ruin of England, but whose almost certain result will weaken us as a continental power, and be our total destruction as a maritime nation. I may be permitted to ask, upon seeing interests of such great magnitude hazarded or compromised whether we were in a situation so critical with respect to England; that we were obliged to swear its destruction, and to prepare our own ruin. We are powerful and respected upon the continent; we directed (with too much impetuosity perhaps) all its political transactions; we were safe from the power of the English navy, and for a long time, no doubt, above the intrigues of the ministers of England; it is in this situation, truly strong, energetic, and imposing, that we attempt an enterprise which could only be excused by a despair that left us no choice of measures. I am far from disapproving of the enthusiasm excited in the nation against a nation eternally its rival, and almost always its enemy, from blaming the efforts and the sacrifices which it inspires; but I think that the action of government ought to confine itself to the development of these dispositions for the purpose of preparing, through it, the restoration of our
marine; but to go farther, to devote to such great perils, our armies, still in the labour of their re-organization; this, general, be assured, is to expose us to be assailed by those continental powers who are jealous of us, and have their eye upon us. This is to replace us in the disastrous circumstances, from which we were only extricated by the miracle that brought back Bonaparte from Egypt, and made his triumph on the 13th Brumaire. May I be now permitted, general, to make an observation which a wise and regular government is worthy to hear and to appreciate; but which I should not have hazarded in the time of disorder and anarchy, when the law of nations was scarcely more respected among us than the liberty of individuals. We are told every day that we are restored to civilization, that we are replaced in the first rank of social order, and yet an expedition is announced worthy in its principles of those unsettled colonies who contend with their neighbors for enjoyment which they do not find at home, or of those savage hordes who see, in the end of war nothing but the booty which they may acquire, in its result the total annihilation of the adverse horde.
Such, however, are the strange ideas that have been propagated among the soldiers to excite them to obtain from their cupidity, a devotion expected in vain from real courage. I do not pretend here to discuss the rights of conquest, nor to examine whether they can be extended in proportion to the perils which have been run to obtain them; but is it politic to announce before hand every thing that is meant to be derived from it; is it fit to present it to the eyes of those who are to undertake it, only as a vast scene of pillage and assassination? It is, no doubt, contrary to the intentions of the first consul, that such means should be employed to corrupt the minds of our brave warriors, and to substitute the love of gain for the honor of glory; but it is to you, general, I confide the honorable task of illustrating to him these intrigues and telling him how much they afflict military men, who are faithful to the laws of honor. They all see, as I do, with inquietude, that every day is suffered to depress that spirit which in the early period of our military glory had no other impulse but the thirst of glory, the love of the country. I might almost say the enthusiasm of liberty, and surely that spirit will not revive, in which nothing is demanded of them but a blind temerity, in which nothing is prescribed to them but the abuse of victory. I speak with liberty, with confidence; and I do not think it a proof of courage. It would be showing a want of esteem for the head of the government to see any danger in telling him what is just and true.
I have the honor to be, &c.
Lieut. General Duroc to Gen. Moreau. One o'clock in the morning.
MY COMRADE, I have laid before the first consul the letter which you have done me the honor to write to me the 8th instant. It is with pain that I send it back to you by his orders. The general first consul charges me to inform you that he does not recognize in it the language of a Frenchman, nor the character of a distinguished soldier. He has sent it back to you for the purpose, that by destroying this evidence of an error which he wished to forget, you may be sure it will never be made use of to tarnish your glory, nor impeach your intentions. The general first consul orders me to acquaint you, that he wishes to have some conversation with you in private, the 25th instant.
I am, with respect, your comrade, DUROC.
HOLLAND.
Extract of a letter from the Hague, February 4, 1804.
"I will give you a proof of the public spirit in this country. Last Saturday a firing was distinctly heard here, at Rotterdam, at Leyden, every where in this vicinity; a report was circulated at the same time, that the Duke of York had landed with one hundred thousand men in two points, in Zealand and near the Texel. Immediately, every countenance almost bespoke satisfaction, and every heart rejoiced: congratulations were mutually given and received. Orange cockades again appeared in the windows of the Milliners, and on the bonnets of the ladies. Our French brothers were insulted, and our Gallic patriots trembling. Expresses were sent to Amsterdam and to Germany, to announce this joyful news. What made this report gain ground was, the visible anxiety of our Directors, and the sur-
prising modest language of the French Generals, who, in four hours, sent six couriers to Zealand and to North Holland. From the want of patriotism, however, in our ungrateful countrymen, they were so long detained on the road, that it was not until last Monday, we knew that the firing originated from Admiral Verneul, trying the strength of our gun boats, of which many broke to pieces, from carrying too heavy metal.
"At the return of the courier, our French oppressors laughed in their turn. The Government archies, which had been packed up, were unpacked; the orange colours disappeared; a gloom of discontent was universally spread, and while one sex were sighing, the others were crying. Several of our citizens were arrested by orders of the Directory, the Batavian tools of our French tyrant. For forty-eight hours, nothing was talked of but hanging, guillotining, or shooting en masse. But General Victor, who arrived from his head-quarters, at Utrecht, last Wednesday, determined to let us feel the displeasure of the Great Nation in a more sensible manner, by laying us under another severe and forced contribution; severe sans example . We have, however, one consolation, thanks to the continuance of French fraternity! we are unable to pay those enormous contributions already decreed." [English pap.]
LONDON, March 10.
The political horizon is at this moment fraught with important matter, and events of the utmost consequence to Europe may be expected. This state of things has given rise to enumerable conjectures and reports. The topic, most immediately interesting, is the real or pretended conspiracy, against the life of the first consul. Till we are more fully informed on this subject, all conjecture must be nugatory. To deny the possibility of a plot being formed against the Corsican usurper, universally detested as he is, would be absurd. But we must revert to what we observed at first, that it is extremely improbable that such men as Pichegrue and Moreau would embark in so paltry and illconcerted a plan, as this is represented to be. It might suit the genius and inclination of such a man as Georges, and a few of his associates; but if general Pichegrue has really gone from England, it has been, we should conceive, upon some plan of a much wider extent, and more comprehensive views, to take advantage of the disaffection of the French people and soldiery and head them in case of a revolt. Still less probable is it that cautious and retired Moreau would commit his safety to the honor and fidelity of a handful of assassins. Either then the plot is an entire fabrication to crush Moreau, or the consul has taken advantage of some petty conspiracy to implicate this great man and effect his ruin. In confirmation of these sentiments, it will be remembered, that the brother of Moreau declared publicly in the tribunal "that the whole was an infamous calumny; which he would hardly have done, if he had been conscious of a serious ground for a criminal charge."
From this state of affairs in France, some expectations of a new revolution have been cherished, and it was even reported in an evening paper of yesterday, that such an event had taken place. We cannot believe that such a degree of spirit and patriotism exists either in the French nation or its armies. They are sunk in the lowest degree of slavery and depravity, and they will attend the virtuous Moreau to the scaffold with shouts and exultation.
Another report which has prevailed is, that a considerable French force had proceeded to the invasion of Denmark. We can easily believe that the first consul would have no objection to such an excuse for abandoning the expedition against this country; but in truth he has proceeded too far in this project to be able to recede. We, therefore, give little credit to this last report; and if such intelligence be really arrived, we regard it as a stratagem to distract our attention, and put us off our guard.
At home a secret expedition is spoken of to block up, or rather wall up, the enemy's ports, by sinking old vessels in the roads laden with stones and rubbish. To this we are as little disposed to give our assent, as to the preceding. It would be impossible to shut up Brest, and the more important harbours, in this manner. The others are only receptacles for boats and vessels of a very small draft of water, and, therefore, it would be trifling to place in their roads impediments and obstacles, which could be only efficacious against shipping.
Extract from the Secret Deliberations of the government of the Island of Hayti. LIBERTY! INDEPENDENCE! or DEATH!
Considering that there still remains on the Island of Hayti, individuals who have contributed either by their guilty writings or by their sanguinary accusations to the drowning, suffocating, assassinating, hanging and shooting of more than 60,000 of our Brethren under the inhuman government of Le Clerc and Rochambeau.
Considering that every man who has dishonored human nature by prostituting himself with enthusiasm to the vile offices of informers and of executioners, ought to be classed with assassins and delivered up without remorse to the sword of justice; decrees as follows:
Article I.
Every commandant of a division shall cause to be arrested within their respective commands those persons who are or shall be known to have taken an active part in the different massacres and assassinations ordered by Le Clerc or Rochambeau.
Article II.
Before proceeding to the arrest of any individuals (as it often happens that many are innocent who nevertheless may be strongly suspected) we order each commandant to make all necessary enquiries for procuring proofs; and above all not to confound with true and faithful reports, those denunciations too frequently suggested by hatred or envy.
Article III.
The names and surnames of persons executed shall be inscribed in a list and sent to the general in chief who will make them public. This measure is entered into in order to inform the nations of the world, that although we grant an asylum and protection to those who act candidly and friendly towards us, nothing shall ever turn our vengeance from those murderers, who have bathed themselves with pleasure in the blood of the innocent children of Hayti.
Article IV.
Every chief who, in contempt of the orders and unalterable will of the government shall sacrifice to his ambition, to his hatred, or to any other passion any individual whose guilt shall not have been previously well ascertained, and proved, shall undergo the same punishment which he shall have thus inflicted; and the property of every such unjust officer shall be confiscated; one half to the government and the other half to the relations of the innocent victim, if any there may be in the Island at the time of his death.
Done at Head-Quarters, Gonaives, February 29.
(Signed) DESSALINES. True Copy, B. AIME, Secretary.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.
The accounts received from Port au Prince, by the Commodore Barry, arrived at Charleston, confirm the former statement of the dreadful situation of the unfortunate whites in that Island. On the 19th March a horrible massacre commenced at Port au Prince, which was continued four days during which, upwards of four hundred persons were killed. Dessalines had arrived there, on his way to St. Domingo, against which he was determined to bring all his forces; but as he expressed himself, would leave no whites in his rear.
Captain Patterson, informs that a gentleman arrived at Gonaives on the 1st of April, who stated that 10 days previous, a general massacre of the whites had taken place at Port au Prince, and that the massacre was to be carried all over the southern department. The Americans were treated with great respect throughout all the Island, except at the Cape, where Christophe inflicted the greatest cruelty upon every description, without regarding age or sex.
From the Havanna.
A Spanish gentleman passenger in the Eliza, 18 days from Havanna states in confirmation of the account received via New-York, that the French general Lavoilette, demanded on loan, 200,000 dollars; but so large a demand could not be complied with, and they received of the government of Havanna only 50,000. The French were preparing an expedition for Hispaniola with all possible dispatch.
The French privateers, many of which cruise without commissions are daily bringing in Americans, a schooner belonging to Philadelphia was carried in, and had taken from her 5000 dollars in specie.

BALTIMORE, April 30. Extract of a letter from a midshipman on board the Constitution, to his friend in Wilmington (Del.) "Constitution, at Syracuse, } Nov. 29th, 1803. }
"DEAR SIR, I am extremely happy to have it in my power to inform you something of the circumstances of the Dey of Algiers. He has in his treasury fifteen millions of dollars, army 20,000 horse and foot, has ransom from him, upon an averaged calculation, 1200 slaves annually, at 1500 dollars each. Taxes, rents, trade, &c. between four and five millions; ninety four thousand inhabitants in the city of Algiers—naval force four frigates, three brigs, two schooners, three zebec ships. The Dey received our consul, and the utmost attention was paid him by the Dey's first officers; we believe the United States to be the most favoured nation. He made us a handsome present of bullocks, sheep, poultry, and vegetables of every kind. "The British consul is ordered from Algiers; we are informed the Dey has a number of British subjects at labour."
NEW-YORK, April 26. By the arrival last evening of the ship Hero, from Bristol, we are put in possession of London dates to the 16th March, one day later than before received. They state that the King has so far recovered as to take his usual walk in the Queens garden—that 27 more officers of distinction had been arrested in Paris for conspiracy, among the number was general Ferrino, Macdonald and Massena—that the British squadron off Bologne, had captured 5 gun boats and sunk a number of others full of transports.
MARTINSBURG, May 11. By a return of votes from the Town and County of New-York, Mr. Burr has a majority of 100 votes as Governor, and Mr. O. Phelps 82 votes as Lieutenant Governor.
In a late account of the city of Hamburg it is remarked how strikingly the versatility of human affairs is displayed in the circumstance of the French Emigrants in that place; of whom it is impossible to speak without astonishment and admiration, at the fortitude and resignation with which they bear, and cheerfully too, the sad vicissitudes of fortune.
"A French Bishop is now in partnership with a person, whose business is to reduce different kinds of vegetables, roots and herbs into flour, to be used in bread, and otherwise for consumption, on board ships, and is doing well—another bishop has undertaken a tannery upon the plan of Sanguin, the French chemist, and also succeeds. A former General has turned author, and now handles his pen as well as he once did his sword; his aid-de-camp Baptiste, who distinguished himself at the celebrated battle of Jemappes, was very lately a paper hanger; a Marquis measures ladies for shoes; a Duke deals in candles; another of great rank is a silk dyer; and a distinguished officer serves as a waiter to a landlord, who had once been his lieutenant. The son of a governor of a large province keeps a restaurateur house. Another nobleman has joined one who had formerly been his cook in the same business. The heir of the great name of Fenelon keeps a public house. Dealers in small ware, dancing masters, musick, language, fencing, school masters, and brokers of every description, are innumerable."
Moreau, it is said, has been very free of his remarks on the consular government. He lately observed that of the tree of liberty nothing was left but, l'écorce. This pun which implies either the bark or the Corsican, was of course not well relished at the Thuilleries, particularly as it was recommended by truth as well as by humour.
On Monday captain Bray arrived at Marblehead in 37 days from Bordeaux, in France. Though Bonaparte was to have eaten his Christmas dinner in England, he still remained on his own side of the channel; but the preparations for the invasion had in no respect relaxed. The heretofore respectable commercial house of Wood, we are informed, has failed. West-India produce was low. [Salem pap.]
Anecdote.—A story is told in Pennsylvania, which serves at least to show the degree of estimation in which the
learned and omnipotent Legislature of that state are held, when such an anecdote, whether precisely accurate or not, is thought characteristic enough to appear probable.
A summons was issued from that honourable Body to a Gentleman of the law, requiring his appearance as a witness on some occasion, it is believed in the impeachment against the Judges. Being questioned, on his arrival at Lancaster, why he had not appeared sooner, he answered that a paper (which was the summons itself) had in his absence been left on his office table, which for a day or two he did not notice. When he did he could scarcely make out the purport of its contents, and perhaps would not have come at all: But finding there were seventeen words in it wrong spelt, he concluded of course the paper came from the General Assembly, and set out to attend their Honours accordingly!

EARTHEN WARE MANUFACTORY,
Near the head of Dry Run and four and an half miles from Martinsburg.
THE subscriber respectfully informs the public, that he has now got his POTTERY in complete order, and has on hand, a very good assortment of excellent ware, and means to keep a constant supply.—It will be much to the advantage of purchasers of this commodity to call on him, as he can sell ware at a cheaper rate than it can be bought at a distance. A considerable reduction will be made to those who purchase by the quantity to sell again.
This being the only establishment of the kind in Berkeley County, and the ware made at it, of as good, perhaps a better quality, and at a lower price, than that made at a distance, he hopes that the efforts he is making to accommodate the people of this County, will not go unrewarded.

The following BLANKS, printed with NEW and ELEGANT TYPE,
are always kept for sale at this Office: DEEDS, Common BONDS, Apprentices INDENTURES, Promissory NOTES, &c. &c. &c.

The following sweet lines to CONTENT, will remind the Pactical reader of Cunningham's beautiful ballad. O'er the wild heath, at early dawn, I trace thy foot-steps, gentle power! At noon, retiring from the lawn, I seek thee in the shadowy bower. When chilling blasts and nightly dews Warn me to quit the drooping grove, I woo thee to inspire the muse, Or bless the hours of social love.
And while our offspring void of guile, Around in sportive frolics join; I watch'd the fond maternal smile, Of her whose every joy is mine.
Ah! sweet Contentment; heavenly maid, Wilt thou not hear thy votary's prayer, Nor the gay sports, nor silent shade, Nor soft domestic pleasures share.
Vain were the hope: true love disdains The joys that reach itself alone; It saddens at another's pains, It glows with rapture not its own.
As the pale orb of Cynthia throws Its borrow'd lustre o'er the night, My soul no native transport knows, It shines but with reflected light.
Come then, dear Goddess, fix thy reign, In my lov'd Celia's gentle breast; Chase anxious care, quell murmuring pain, And, blessing her, preserve me blest.
