Part of the real estate of said M c Keirnan in the State of Maryland, viz.
A VALUABLE Plantation of rich Lime-stone Land, on the waters of Conococheague, containing about 275 acres. This Land is of the first rate quality, with a number of never-failing Springs of water, a large proportion of good Meadow, with a House, Still House, Barn, &c. also, a number of Fruit trees, and a never failing stream of water running thro' the place; within eight of a Lutheran Church and in the heart of a German settlement. This property is about 9 miles from Hager- stown and 5 from Potomak river, and has a number of merchant mills near it.
Also for sale, in the town of Hancock, on the river Potomak, one House and Lot, well situated for a store or any kind of public business.
In the State of Virginia.
One Plantation, on which is erected the noted stand called the Half-Way House. This Tract contains 266 acres of Land, the whole of which is tillable, and a great proportion cleared; this Land is particularly adapted to small grain. Its situation makes it more valuable than perhaps many stands in the county, be- ing central between Martinsburg and Bath; it abounds with fine Springs, a good Orchard of choice Fruit; the House is large and well calculated for the reception of travellers, a Stable, and an out house for the family separate from the tavern.
Also, 400 acres of Land, within 2 miles of the town of Bath, 20 of which are cleared and under good fence; this Land is of good quality; on the Land is a House and Stable, with good Water and some Meadow.
Also, a small Farm on Sleepy Creek, about 5 miles from Bath; this place is in good order, with a convenient House and Barn, and Meadow well watered, and a good Orchard.

Also, a Lot on which is erected a large Stable, sufficient to contain 40 horses, near the Coffee House, and a small Dwelling House.
Also, a Lot adjoining the Coffee House, on which is erected a two-story log House weatherboarded and painted, with Store Room, Kitchen and Stable.
It is unnecessary to be more particu- lar, as it is presumed any person wish- ing to purchase, will first view the pre- mises. By paying a reasonable propor- tion of the purchase money down, the ba- lance will be taken in easy payments. For further particulars inquire of Lau- rence M c Keirnan, who resides on the first described place in Maryland, to Timothy Monahan in Hagerstown, Ig- natius O'Ferrall, on Mill-Creek, Berke- ley County, Virginia, or Andrew Goulding, on Potomak river, 3 miles a- bove Bath.

GENERAL EATON.
As every thing relative to the intrepid conductor of the late military expedition against Tripoli, is, at this time, read with avidity, we re-publish a letter written by him to government while he was consul at Tunis.
Copy of a letter from WILLIAM EATON, Esq. to the Secretary of State of the United States.
TUNIS, 26th June, 1804.
SIR,
On the night of the 18th inst. a fire broke out in the Bey's palace, which in its progress consumed fifty thousand stand of arms. The second day following I received a message to wait on the Bey, but was at that moment confined to my bed with a bilious fever, so that it was not till this morning I have been able to go in my carriage to the palace. The Bey's object in calling on me was to demand of the United States, ten thousand stand of arms. I refused to state his demand. "I have proportioned my loss," said he, "among my friends, and this falls to you to furnish. Tell your government to send them without delay." It is impossible, said I, to state this claim to my government. We have no magazines or small arms; the organization of our national strength is different from any other nation on earth. Each citizen carries his own arms always ready for battle. When threatened with an invasion or actually invaded, detachments from the whole national body are sent by rotation to serve in the field, so that we have no need of standing armies, nor depots of arms. It would be an affront to my government, and an imposition on the Bey, to state to them this demand, or to flatter him with a prospect of receiving it. "Send for them to France or England," said the minister. "You are in a much more eligible position to make this commission than we are said I. "If the Bey had any intention of purchasing the arms from Europe," said the minister, "he could do it without your agency. He did not send for you to ask for your advice, but order you to communicate his demands to your government." "And I came here, said I, to assure you that I will make no such communication to my government. "The Bey will write himself," said he. If so, it will become my duty to forward his letter, but at the same time it is equally obligatory upon me, to let the Bey be beforehand apprized, that he never will receive a single musquet from the U. States. I should suppose a sense of decency, if not of gratitude, would dissuade the Bey from his new extravagant claim. Has he not within eighteen months received two large ships' cargoes in regalo; have we not another ship laden for him on its passage; and has he not within sixty days, demanded cannon extraordinary, of the United States, at that rate when are our payments to have an end? "Never," said the minister; "as to the ships you talk of, they are but the payment of regalo you have long since owed us, as the condition of peace; the other claims we make are such as we receive from all friendly nations, once every two or three years; it is an established custom, and you, like others, will be obliged to conform to it." When we shall have completed the payment of our peace stipulations, you may never calculate on further donations. "It is by treaty considered as the conditions of a perpetual peace, and any new claims on your part, will be at least an infraction of the treaty, and will be so considered by us. You may therefore at once forever abandon the idea of future claims; for I again assure you, in the name of my government and country, that the discharge of our treaty obligations will put an end to our contributions here. "Your contributions, as you think proper to call them," said the minister, "will never have an end. If this be the language you think of holding at this court, you may prepare yourself to leave this country, and that very soon." If change of style on my part, said I, be the condition of residence here, I will leave the Bey's kingdom to-morrow morning. "We will give you a month," said the minister—I ask but six hours, I replied. "But you will write?" No. "But it is your duty to write." For deficiency in duty this is not the place where I am to be questioned. "I tell you again," continued he, "your peace depends on your compliance with this demand of my master." If so, said I, on me be the responsibility of breaking the peace, I wish you a good morning. Leaving the palace, I heard the minister say to one of his colleagues: "By God, that man is mad;"
but we shall bring him to terms, never fear." I don't know how this affair will end. I will not change my position.
"I have the honor to be Sir, &c. &c."
"WILLIAM EATON."
"Hon. Secretary of the U. States."
SPRINGFIELD, (Mass.) Oct. 15. Extract of a letter, received by a gentleman in this town, from Gen. Eaton, dated on board the United States' frigate Constitution, at sea, July 17, 1805.
"After a tedious and perplexing march of fifty days through the desert of Lybia, I arrived on the 25th of April, and took post at the head of Hamet Bashaw's army in the rear of Derne. Our movements in Egypt had induced Joseph Bashaw to send an army to the defence of the province, which was within fourteen hours march of the place when we arrived. The governor of Derne was also ordered, and determined, with a garrison of Turkish soldiery and about one third of the city in his interest to resist our approach. Commodore Barron had sent to the coast, to assist our operations, the brig Argus, the schr. Nautilus, and the sloop Hornet; also two pieces of field artillery. On the morning of the 25th I sent a flag to the governor with overtures of friendship, on condition of non-resistance and allegiance to Hamet Bashaw, which he sent back with the laconic answer, "My head or yours!" The next day we attacked him by sea and land, and after a sharp contest of two hours and a half, carried the place by charge of bayonet. The governor took refuge in a sanctuary, and most of his adherents fled and either joined the advancing army of Joseph Bashaw, or took to the desert. The few Christians I had with me suffered severely in the action; nearly one-third of them were either killed or wounded; because our Arabs, not having been accustomed to this kind of close decision, left us the burthen of the day. I had the misfortune to receive a musket ball through my left wrist, just below the joint, which I fear will deprive me of the use of my hand. I immediately began to fortify myself by reversing the embrasures of the battery, sinking a line of entrenchments, and raising a parapet without the fort. Hamet Bashaw opened his divan at the late governor's palace in the city, and the inhabitants universally and with apparent dissatisfaction recognized him."
"On the 13th of May the enemy's army advanced and attacked us with all its force, in hopes of recovering the place. But after an action of four hours with various success, they gave way and retreated precipitately to their camp behind the mountains."
"We were too weak in our number of Christians to pursue this success—the Bashaw's people seemed not to have full confidence in themselves; and our Saracen militia and newly acquired allies at Derne, resolved to act no longer offensively without a pecuniary consideration; of this we were destitute. Each party held its post with small skirmishing till the 25th, when a party of the enemy, of 30 or 40 foot, covered by a troop of cavalry, descended the mountain, fell on the right flank of our Arab camp, and drove off several camels and cattle. A detachment of the Bashaw's people pursued these marauders, overtook them at the foot of the mountain, killed three of them, and recovered the plunder. While this was transacting I made a sortie with five officers and 30 rank and file, Americans and Greeks, volunteers; took a ravine undiscovered, and gained the summit of the mountain before the enemy. We received them on the point of the bayonet. They made a short resistance and then fled. We pursued within a short distance of the camp, killed their captain and five men, and wounded a greater number: they retired in plain view of the whole army without receiving the least injury. They apologize for this cowardly inactivity by choosing to believe we armed to draw them into an ambuscade on disadvantageous ground. The next day their commander in chief offered by proclamation, six thousand dollars for my head; double that sum for me a prisoner; and fifty dollars a head for my Christians. This little affair put an end to skirmishing."
"On the 10th inst. the enemy having received reinforcements, again moved down and attacked us. But after a well fought battle of four hours and a half, they were put to flight with great loss both in men and horses. On this occasion we calculated the number actually in the field of both parties, to have been about 4,000. The Bashaw deserves the merit of this victory—I had little to do with its arrangement and could not render him any assistance in arms, but from
the fire of a single field piece. The rebels had a better position and occasionally galled the enemy with their heavy metal; but the fact is, I doubted the propriety of further offensive operations, having been officially informed that a negotiation was pending between the United States and Joseph Bashaw."
"The next day the Constellation appeared and came to an anchor in the offing. No sooner was she seen by the enemy, than they decamped irregularly, leaving most of their heavy baggage, and took up a precipitate retreat towards the desert under an apprehension that she brought us reinforcements and supplies. She brought me a letter from our commissioner of peace."
LATE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
VIENNA, August 21.
We learn that government has given orders for marching 15,000 men to reinforce the troops in the Tyrol. They are composed of veteran infantry and hussars. The archduke John, is to command in the Tyrol, with general Mack for his second.
August 24.
On the 12th inst. the levy of recruits commenced here, and in all the hereditary dominions of the emperor, with great activity. The movements of the troops are also continuing.
August 25.
Notwithstanding all the appearances of an approaching rupture, many people are of opinion, that war will not take place, but that more probably a congress will be held. However, it is very likely, that the whole army will be placed on the war establishment, by the first of September. Moreover, it is positively asserted, that several battalions of the frontier troops are already on their march to Italy, pursuant to orders; and that 60,000 Russian troops are already on the Austrian frontiers. A great military promotion is also spoken of, in which a field marshal, some generals, and major generals, will be appointed.
On the 13th inst. a train of 102 pieces of cannon, with the necessary ammunition, left Vienna for Italy; and the road from Vienna to Baden is so covered with troops that travellers can hardly pass that way.
On the 20th of this month the archduke Charles will set out on his journey to Italy.
The archduke has ordered that in future, in time of war, the officers of foot, from the captain down to ensign, both included, shall not be permitted to have any horses with them. Their camp equipage must consist of no more than two uniforms, six shirts, two pair of boots, six pocket handkerchiefs, and two cravats. By this regulation, the officers will save much unnecessary expense, and the conveyance of the baggage by land carriage will be much more convenient.
PARIS, August 29.
TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE!
Letters from Naples, dated August 2, estimate the damages in that city, by the late earthquake at 84,600,000 francs. The following are extracted from returns made to the government by commissioners. In Ibernia the commotion was terrible, the ground opened and vomited forth flames, and 339 families were swallowed up.
In Casale Petroso, there perished
 Massimo 132 families,  Fresolone 84  St. Angelo la Costa 298  Barazzillo 43  Cantalupo 180  142 
Lorenzano and St. Angelo di Lombardi, have been entirely destroyed.
A Letter from Rome mentions the whole number of families which perished, at 1750—that eleven villages were destroyed—and 4500 houses at Naples more or less injured.
[From French and Dutch papers.] September 1.
The frontiers of the empire seems to be menaced by the movements of the Austrian armies. Thirty thousand men are to march from the camp of Boulogne to the banks of the Rhine. This intelligence may surprise those who have even foreseen it.
In fact we might foresee that the envious hatred of the British cabinet, and the fear with which the genius of the emperor Napoleon fills it, would induce Mr. Pitt to exhaust all the efforts of intrigue and corruption, to divide the dangers that menaced England, and make the continent share them with her; but we may well be astonished that Austria
should have so soon forgotten the lesson of experience, and that she should still give herself up to those sinister councils which have twice dragged her to the brink of a bottomless abyss.
Vanquished for several years, she had received from the magnanimity of the conqueror, more advantages than she would have dared to demand after victories; and it is against the hero, who, respecting courage and misfortune, stopped in his triumphs and twice saved her by a generous peace, that she is going to rekindle, at the voice of a perfidious ally, a war, which to her, will have neither legitimate object nor end.
But there is in future more than one day of Marengo to France and Austria.
The Hungarians, the Germans, will perceive they are tired of shedding their blood to preserve to the English commercial and naval despotism which has so often insulted the Austrian flag. The French will never be tired of fighting for the freedom of the seas, from which it is wished to banish them—for the defence of their property which it is wished to destroy—for the prosperity of their manufactures, which it is wished to stifle—for the majesty and greatness of the empire which only wounds the pride of their enemies: they will be faithful to the remembrance of their past glory, and to the sentiment of their present happiness.
In the storm of the revolution, when we were without chief, without law, without union, without government, and without bread, we made coalesced Europe respect the independence of our territory. The revolution is at an end, order is restored, the state flourishing; he who restored laws, victory and honour, leads on our soldiers, and presides over our destinies. Half Europe is for our success, even though it is fighting against us; it is easy to see on which side the danger will be.
A decree was made by his majesty, at the imperial camp of Bologne, on the 26th August, concerning the levy of the conscription for the year 14. Pursuant to this decree, the 30,000 conscripts for the year 14, which by virtue of the law of the 27th Nivose, year 13, are to be raised to complete the army to its establishment, and the thirty thousand to remain as a reserve, or to raise the army to the war establishment, are to be put into actual service.
DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.
NEW-YORK, November 1.
With mingled emotions we congratulate our fellow citizens on the restoration of the public health, and our exiled brethren on their return to the city and their homes. For seven tedious weeks they have been subjected to trouble and privation, to inconvenience and loss, to sickness and sorrow. Into the hand of many the cup of calamity has been put, and the heart of not a few aches at the remembrance of the misery they have witnessed, and of the friends they have consigned to the silent grave.
But now that the season of sickness is past, and the noise of busy commerce is again heard in our streets, let us cherish sentiments of gratitude towards that God who has preserved us in life amidst the dangers and the death that surrounded us, and has restored us to our business and our homes.
Captain Bunker left Malaga the 14th September, and informs, the last accounts from Cadiz, stated the combined fleets were in port, and were blockaded by a British fleet; the Carthagena fleet were also in port; and capt. B. understood that our affairs were likely to be adjusted with Spain. The United States frigate Constellation, sailed in co. with captain Bunker, for the United States.
We have carefully examined our files of Bordeaux papers by the Louisiana, which are to the 12th of September; and, though we have not discovered that a Continental Coalition had been formed at that date, or that war had actually broken out between France and the powers supposed to have coalesced, yet, from the articles we have translated, the reader will perceive that such an event is apparently not very remote. France has withdrawn into the interior, to act as circumstances may render necessary, a great part of the troops originally intended for the invasion of England; Russia is marching her hordes towards the Austrian territories; and the Emperor of Germany is embodying his legions in great numbers, to co-operate, as it is supposed, with Russia. All is bustle and warlike preparation; and a few days later intelligence from Europe will most assuredly furnish us with matter of high political importance.

CHARLESTON, October 31. On Thursday last, about 100 miles to the eastward of the Bar, captain Hutchinson, of the ship Rolla , from Liverpool, fell in with the French privateer schooner Superb , captain Dominique, and was ordered to come on board the privateer with his papers. This order captain H. immediately complied with; but no sooner had he got on board than he was surrounded by fifteen or twenty Frenchmen, Spaniards, and mulattoes, who with violent threats and much abuse, drawing their knives and daggers, were proceeding to take his papers by force. This captain H. resisted, but shewing each of his papers separately, they were satisfied of the property being American, and told him to proceed.
While captain Hutchinson was undergoing this examination, a lieutenant and six of the privateersmen jumped into the Rolla's boat, and going on board the ship commenced a most disgraceful scene of plunder—breaking open the chests in the cabin stealing every article they could lay their hands on, and otherwise behaving like savages and pirates. On captain H. returning to the ship they were about taking away his boat; upon his refusing to give her up, the privateersmen struck him several times, and threatened to stab him; but finding him resolute and determined not to give up his property without a struggle, they went off.
Captain Hutchinson was informed by some of the crew, that they had engaged a ship off our bar, which they supposed to be a Guineaman; and that they had four men killed in the action. The sails and rigging of the privateer were much cut, but her hull did not appear to have received much injury. A great number of wounded men were on the decks, one of whom captain H. supposed to be the captain. They also confirmed the report of the captain having shot the lieutenant, for attempting to haul down the colours. The privateer had but two guns mounted—the rest, they stated, were in the hold. Captain H. observed several people below whom he supposed to be prisoners; but was not suffered to speak to any of them.

MARTINSBURG, November 8.

The board of health of New-York have published the names of all who have died of malignant fever in that city during the present season. The number is 254,
of whom 166 were males and 88 females. During the season the board reported 607 cases of malignant fever.
The freemen of the state of Connecticut have made choice of TIMOTHY PITKIN, Jun. and LEWIS B. STURGEON, Esquires, Representatives to the next Congress of the United States, in the place of Messrs. Griswold and Goddard, who had declined a re-election.
Accounts are received at New-York from Matanzas, stating, that reports were current there of the Spanish government having ceded one half of the Island of Cuba to the French.
It is reported in this city, that the Spanish minister, the Marquis d'Irujo having determined to leave the U. States, has demanded his passports from our government. The report adds, that the President observed in reply, that we had no such etiquette in this country, and that it was in the power of a foreign minister to quit the United States when and how he pleased. A report so important in itself, since it may be regarded as an ominous sign of an approaching rupture between the two countries, we shall take the earliest opportunity to contradict or confirm. [ Enquirer. ]
A file of New-Orleans papers, which we received by yesterday's western mail, breathes a strong spirit of defiance and war against the Spaniards. They contain but few facts of any great moment; and these appear rather in the form of floating rumours, than in the firm and authenticated language of truth. The paper of September 14 observes, "we can state from a source that may be relied on, that an army of 5000 men is on its march from Mexico to strengthen the Spanish frontier in Louisiana." The paper of the 18th observes, "we learn from good authority, that the Marquis de Casa Calvo has written a circular letter to all the Spanish officers now in this territory, requesting them to repair without delay to Pensacola, to join their respective regiments." That of the 21st in sketching out a concise plan of the measures to be taken on the commencement of hostilities, remarks, "that by drawing the troops from the various posts on the Mississippi, from the Walnut hills to Point Coupee, and calling into service the Orleans volunteers, we should have a force sufficient to strike a blow that the enemy would not recover from during the war."
Baton Rouge might be taken by the troops as they ascend the Mississippi; when concentrating our forces at this place, we would pass into West-Florida, and occupy Mobile, Pensacola, and such other places as we might deem necessary." That their exertions would have the desired effect, we cannot presume to doubt, when we recollect the general imbecility of Spanish policy and the remarkably defenceless position of the Floridas. One of the Creek Chiefs, who was lately at this city, declared, that a very considerable detachment of men might obtain possession of all the forts on the Mobile, and even of Pensacola itself. [ Ibid. ]
The English cruizers appear to have not desisted in capturing American vessels bound to or from French or Dutch ports; the last arrival at Boston reports that two American vessels from Amsterdam, about the first of September, were captured in the English channel, and sent into the Downs. It may therefore be seriously questioned whether any countermanding orders were given by the British Government in relation to our commerce. So various are the reports on this head, each contradicting the other, that our merchants can place little dependence on them. If some detained ships have been lately released, many have been captured before and since that time, whose restoration is very uncertain. It is full time the English Government should tell us whether sugar and coffee are absolutely to be added to the list of contraband articles in their code of maritime laws, and whether we are to be permitted to carry on any trade with France and Holland or Spain in future. Until our merchants are correctly informed on these points, it may be questioned whether it is safe to send their ships to the ports of any power at war with Great Britain. If the whole commerce of the United States could be brought to centre in that Island, it is highly probable our ships would escape adjudication; but as it is now we are no more allowed a free trade, than we were previous to the revolution which emancipated us from England, when all our vessels were obliged to go to some port in Great
Britain, to enter and clear out, before they were suffered to trade with the other powers of Europe. Such were the British restraints and prohibitions on American commerce then; and such we have the mortification of seeing them at this enlightened period of our history. But we hope the time will arrive when we shall undauntedly claim the rights which we ought to enjoy, from our relative situation with the other powers of the world and from our resources in men and money which constitute the real strength of great States. [ Salem Register. ]
The Aurora has announced that the President had called a special Meeting of the Heads of Departments, supposed to take into consideration certain transactions of foreign nations, preparatory to the meeting of Congress. We hope the measures recommended will be spirited and dignified. The same paper has also mentioned, that Mr. Munroe had laid before the British government a strong protest against the depredatory orders of the British Cabinet Council, and the oppression to which our ports and our commerce are exposed by the navy of that nation. We are glad to find, that the Commerce of our country occupies any part of the attention of the government; and hope to find, that the Court of Great Britain is not the only one before which strong protests have been laid. [ Boston Centinel. ]
Died, on Saturday the 25th ult. at his seat in this town of Fredericksburg, after an illness of about three weeks, the Hon. JOSEPH JONES, one of the judges of the General Court of Virginia, aged 78. [ Virginia Gazette. ]
"OUR FATHERS, WHERE ARE THEY?" How many solemn ideas, affectionate and profound, do the silent tombs yield to the mind, which contemplates them with gravity, and consults them with seriousness. When we reflect that it is the house prepared for all the living; when we consider that numbers younger than ourselves now moulder in the dust, that some of our own families, our nearest and dearest connexions, have made their exit from this vale of tears, and bring to mind the uncertainties of earthly enjoyments, that we know not what a day or an hour will bring forth, what awful impressions crowd in upon our minds; awful, because they are hostile to our wishes, and corrode our guilty consciences; awful, because we are unprepared to meet at the tribunal of heaven, and be weighed at the gates of eternity; awful, because we see our folly in neglecting to improve our privileges until the setting sun of life.
"Our fathers, where are they?" We have followed them to the grave, we have committed them to the bowels of the earth, they have taken their subterraneous passage to eternity, and the places which once knew them, know them no more for ever. Where are the living? Going down the rapid tide of time, and according to the invariable laws of nature, must soon sleep in dust. Do not these considerations suggest a necessity of preparation? Can any harm accrue from having our lamps trimmed and burning ready for our departure hence? If not, let us establish our principles and conduct by the rules of Christianity, let the criterion in our actions be in consonance with the oracles of truth, which require us to renounce all unwillingness and to live righteously and soberly, to do justice, to love mercy and to walk humble in the world. Let him who vaunteth in his youth, his strength, activity and prospect of long life, go to the silent tombs and learn, that the monster death is ambitious and insatiate; and discriminates not between young and old, but selects his victims from every age from every rank and condition of life.
RELIGION.
Every man has a right to adopt what religion and mode of worship he pleases, provided no man is injured by them. Perhaps that is the best religion which improves him the most.
There is a strong inclination in one man to disturb another in his religion, although it does not appear that he can profit by it. The choice of any mode of worship should ever remain with the man himself. They are private property. Religion is said to nourish the soul, as food the body. Has one man, then, any more right to interfere with another in his mode of worshiping than in that of eating?
Civil Liberty comes under the same rules as religion. It is private property. Words and actions ought to be free, provided they are innocent. If no man is in-
jured none have a right to complain. Take away liberty, and you reduce him beneath a man.

FIVE DOLLARS REWARD.

Whoever shall take up said horse and return him to me, or send word so that I may get him, shall receive the above reward, and all reasonable charges paid by  ROBERT GUSTIN.

A MERRY TEMPER is admirably described in the following lines, from Cowper.
SOME fretful tempers wince at every touch; You always do too little or too much; You speak with life, in hopes to entertain; Your elevated voice goes thro' the brain; You fall at once into a lower key; That's worse! The drone-pipe of an humble bee! The southern ashi admits too strong a light; You rise and drop the curtain;—now its night. He shakes with cold; you stir the fire, and strive To make a blaze;—that's roasting him alive. Serve him with ven'son, and he chooses fish; With trout, that's just the sort he would not wish. He takes what heat first profess'd to loath: And in due time feeds heartily on both; Yet still o'erclouded with a constant frown; He does not swallow, but he gulps it down. Your hope to please him vain on every plan, Himself should work that wonder if he can. Also his efforts double his distress; He likes yours little, and his own still less, Thus always teasing others, always teaz'd, His only pleasure is, to be displeas'd.
FAMILY GOVERNMENT.
"Let the child know it shall get nothing by roaring."—Whining, crying and bellowing, are the children's climaxes in the pathetic, and have a powerful influence over parents, who have more tenderness than judgment. When the child finds it can have prompt pay for tears and sobs, this ready currency will be coined on all occasions;—what is worse, they will often be counterfeited. This sobbing system is more pernicious in a family, than the funding system in a nation. It drowns beauty, and stifles the good humour and vivacity of the mind. The smiling face of youth and innocence, is the most pleasing sight that nature or art produces. I would give more, to see this living picture in my parlour than the busts of all my ancestors since the flood. Nature generally completes her works; it is left to the human species to perfect themselves. Parents have it in their power to heighten the bloom of youth with their habitual cheerfulness, or mar it with the distorted grimaces of ill nature.
Instead of paying the child for sobs and tears, grant a premium for smiles. If it cry for a favorite play-thing, quiet its clamour and never grant its request, till it can make its suit in good humor. All this should be done for your own honor and the happiness of your children.
But who has no desire to oblige a good neighbour? If your friend calls to see you, the good humoured vivacity of your children is the finest sight you can possibly exhibit. The museum has nothing more delightful, and the best band of music is not more pleasing than domestic harmony. When you can furnish your guests with this cheap tho' exquisite entertainment, why should you grate their ears with the discord of Bedlam?
