4 N order that you may be enabled to secure
IL the advantages of the law passed by the
Legislature Of this state, at its late session, we
hasten to give publicity to the following state
pment OF its contents.
Persons whose lands, &c. have been sold for
taxes, may redeem them prior to the first of ia
nuary meet, by paying the taxes at the rate list
ed, the costs which have accrued, and six per
cent. interest, from the time the taxes became
due, to the time of payment.
Persons who have already redeemed their
lands, &c. by paying 100 per cent. on the tri-
pie tax and costs, are entitled to credit for
all over the single tax, costs, and interest, to
be applied to the payment of future taxes
When non-residents have paid the taxes in
the county where the lands are situated and
they have been sold for taxes the Auditor re-
deems the land, and receipts for the taxes paid.
Those who have redeemed their land from
sale by paying triple tax and costs to the She
riff, are entitled to credit, as in the case of
those who have redeemed after the sale.
When persons have not paid their taxes, and
the land has not been sold the single tax and
interest only will be charged, if paid before
the. LIST of January next.
We would attend to the payment of taxes,
the redemption of lands sold, and any other
business that may be confided to us, either in

FOR THE SPECTATOR,
INGRATITUDE.

There is not" says Mr.. Addison, " a
more pleasing exercise of the mind than
gratitude. 1t is accompanied with so
much inward satisfaction, that the duty
Is sufficiently rewarded by the perform
ance. 1t is not like the practice of many
other virtues, difficult and painful, but
attended with so much pleasure that were
there no positive command, which en-
joined 1t, nor any recompense laid up
Tor it hereafter, generous mind would
indulge in it for the natural satisfaction
which it Affords"
That gratitude is noble virtue there
can be no doubt. 1t then follows that
lngratitude must be the meanest of vices F;
it is vice from which the generous
mind shrinks with indignation upon view
ing it in its proper light. And yet who is
not an migrate Who duly appreciates
the blessings he enjoys, arising from So
ciety, from his parents, from his inter-
course with all mankind, and from his
Creator?
To bring this thought more immed-
ately to our minds, let us consider our
selves on sudden deprived of the soci-
ETY. of men, as suddenly cast on a desert
island, "far from the track and blest
abode of man," with how many wants
and miseries would we find ourselves
surrounded Torments from within, and
torments from acknowledgements from
within from disease, melancholy, and
hunger; and from without from beasts
of prey, pealing storms, scorching suns,
and all the torments of, inclement ele-
ments. And yet there are not wanting
among men, beings, like polypi, who
would overturn society, and gnaw the
vitals of that, from whence they received
life, and all the blessings attending upon
it.
How grateful ought we to be to those
great men, who in all ages have devised
the means of rendering society happy !;
who have improved navigation, manu-
features, agriculture, and science; who
have invented means for bunting and
extracting the stings of disease, and for
governing the seemingly ungovernable
passions and headlong impetuosity of the
rabble
To descend into the common walks
and offices of life, how many instances
ofingratitude do we find! Do what you

Ceremony ofa Russian Marriage.
OF all nations, the Russians behave
the most wisely in the circumstance of
jealousy. The wife promises her hus-
band never to let him see her transgres-
sions and he as punctually promises,
whenever she is detected, without the
least anger, to beat her without mercy !;
so the, both know what they have to ex-
pect The lady who transgresses, is beat
en-, taken again into favor, and all goes on
as before. When Russian young lady
therefore is to be married, her father,
with cudgel in his hand, asks the bride
groom whether he chuses this virgin for
his bride !! to which the other replies in
the affirmative. Upon which the father,
turning the lady three times round, and
giving her three strokes with the cudgel
on the back, "My DEAR" cries he, "thcse
are the last blows you are ever to re-
ceive from your tender father, | resign
my authority and my cudgel to your
husband he knows better than me the
use of either" The bridegroom knows
abruptly he therefore assures the father
that the lady will never want it, and that
he would not for the world make any
use of it. But the father who knows
what the lady might want better than he
did, insists upon his acceptance.-Upon
this there follows scene of Russian po-
likeness, while one offers and the other
refuses the cudgel Tie whole, how
ever ends with the bridegroom S taking it.,
upon which the lady drops courtesy in
token of obedience and the ceremony
proceeds as usual.
A gentleman once paying his address
es to young lady, the daughter of We
ry wealthy planter, i'll, and Of course
entitled to the honor of being very &C
complished, enquired of her if she was
not lonesome, there being no society in
the neighborhood, and how she spent her
time :---shc replied that she was not
lonesome--that she amused herself with
reading and writing. He asked her
whether she was most fond of writing
