INTEMPERANCE CURED.


A PLANTER in southern state,
mo matter on what day or date)
Repeating oft the cheering drop,
Had almost burnt his heart strings up.
One night he thro' his parlor door,
Could hear his kitchen in a roar;
And having gratify'd his ear,
RESOLVED to see as we'll as hear;
So thro' the key hole sought to know
What pleas d his laughing negroes SO.
CUFF, he beheld with mighty glee,
In attitude Of lnimicry;
Exposing every look and motion,
Occasioned by the pois'nous potion;
Indeed twas clear the sable elf
Act-i As MAssA did himself.
Al ii h the nriuning company
Cri'u "NhssA's self, the berry he"
The planter saw its proper force,
And grew a sober man of course.
Let those who mock an evil thing,
Keep up their plan until they sting,
And force the man Ito save his feelings,
To change his course, and 'scape THEN
ratings.

IUDICIoUs OBSERVATIONS,
By q man zUho renamed DeiSnr.


The late opposition l have made to
Deism, in the Polemic Hall, in Balti-
more has answered my expectations to
the full. 1t has caused the Christians to
doubt, inquire, and with high-seasoned
suspicion ask, "Can any good come out
of Nazareth 2" On the other hand, it
has caused the open and avowed Deists
to represent me as one of the most hate
full and abominable pests; as one that
never was, nor never will be, stable in
any cause but, like a weather cock, e.
yer changing with the shifting breeze ::
in short, as one in whom no dependence
could be placed in any situation, circum-
stance, or state in life.
They have, however, put enc truth III
circulation about me, and in so doing
have inadvertently paid Christianity a
compliment, for which they have my
hearty thanks. Say they, "whatever his
pretensions may be, he is no Christian"
To this plead guilty. There is in
deed wide difference between talking
about Christianity and being Chris
tan but this is truth they have as yet
to learn, and the time may come, when,
to know it, will only serve to aggravate
remorse, feed the fame of bitter anguish,
ard blow reflection into an inward He'll.
Tho | can call God to witness that as
it respects hypocrisy am guiltless, yet
my mind, my affections, my every fa-
Guilty have been too long buried in the
rubbish Of deistical delusion, and fed
too greedily in the company of filthy
swine, upon the husks of pagan dark
ness, to be easily or speedily restored, SO
as to assume even the name of Christian.
IT'S an easy thing to sport and play up
on the smooth surface of an ebbing tide,
till we have gone beyond our depth and
almost out of sight of land; but how to
return with safety is always exceedingly
difficult, and, sometimes, alas, impossi-
bic.
Others make a necessary inquiry
How, say they, came this man SO sud-
denly to change his principles, and from

a fierce defender OF deism instantly be-
come an apparent Zealot "a the cause Of
Christianity? To this / answer, that
the change was by no means So sudden
as they may imagine for / had doubts
long before l knew their meaning, and
when did I kept them within my own
breast, and candidly confess that was
determined not to part with favourlte
principles on slight or flimsy proof es-
pecially as | saw that arecantation would
bring upon me every species of imputed
infamy that malice could invent: but
doubt succeeded doubt, & circumstance
after circumstance occurred, till at last
resolved fully and freely to investigate
the two opposite systems, < bring them
both to that touchstone by which all pro-
fessions, and religions, all men and sys-
TENS, must be tried & fully proved, viz.
" By their fruits ye shall know them.''
The result of my enquiries then, take
as follows:
1. That 1 never saw, heard, or read
of any man, woman or child, that was
reformed either in whole or in part, by
embracing the principles of Deism.
9. That have known hundreds, and
heard Of thousands who have been refor-
med by embracing Christianity.
8. That l have known Industrious
sober men, who, by imbibing the prin-
ciples of Deism, almost instantly be-
came desperately wicked, and in many
instances dangerous members of civil
society.
4. That have known some Deists,
and many scofers at all religion, speedi-
" and effectually turned from the most
abandoned practices, by the preaching
of the gospel, to life of righteousness,
which showed itself by sobriety, indus
try, charity, brotherly kindness and u
Universal philanthropy.
S. That do not recollect ever hear
ing but one Deist profess really to be-
lieve in future state of rewards and
punishments.
6. That l never met with man who
professed to be a real Christian, but
what built his principal hopes upon the
70 itu Of n future state.

LAW.

In the first code of laws in Mas

some provision made to restrain scold-
ing Whereas there is no express
punishment by any law hitherto esta-

sundry persons, by cxorbitancy of the
tongue in railing and sColding 1t is
therefore ordered, that all such per-
sons convicted before any court or ma
gistrate, that hath proper cognizance Of

that if detection should follow their crimes,
