MISCELLANY.
from The Providence Grseiie.l
,s.zz,zZIIlz,~

During the past year, the Parliament Of
Great Britain passed new Marriage Act, with
a variety of provisions, intended as a barrier
against clandestine and improper connexions.
The facility offered to fugitive lovers, and the
consequences of hasty and inconsderate in
terchange of marriage vows, had become the
subject OF very general complaint, as they
justly have in this land Of unrestrained indie
pendence. Parents were mourning the rash
steps Of daughters, who had been allured by
some designing villain TO quit their homes
and persons Of tender age had formed marriage
connexions with others whose ages were no
ways suitable to make them companions for
Life. The marriages at Gretna Green were
solemnized by blacksmith and instances
had occurred where the hoary dehauchee had
led the blooming and artless miss of sixteen to
the altar or more properly TO the anril, and in
stead of being united in "gentle Hymen's
silken band" they were welded together by
this modern Vulcan with " chains of iron.n
Among the provisions in the law for check.
ing the evils of such practice, and to prevent
the union of persons of a very tender age, as
well as to give notice to the friends OF the par
ties, is one which requires certificate of the
registry of births. This has been found very
unpleasant for candidates for the hymeneal
noose-to the fair party on account of its nee
essarily divulgng what it is sometimes consid-
cred privilege to conceal, namely, her age
and to the gentleman, because in the pro-
duction of certificates, the transcript of rec
ofds, the examination of witnesses, and the
administration of oaths, the expenses are una
voidably augmented. The utility of the law
however cannot be questioned, though some of
its provisions are unyielding and troublesome !;
and of the complaints which have frequently
appeared in the papers of Great-Britain, some
times in verse and sometimes in prose, the
following sketch, in the dramatick form, af-
fordsa true and pleasant picture -

here, which ] will relate for your a.

lows A person in Maryland had dis
covered that his runaway slave was in
Philadelphia. He gave power of at
torney toa person in or near Whining
ton to take him mp and bring him out of
Pennsylvania, for which he was to have

were familiar with the blacks, till they
found man that knew the runaway,
and who for small bribe pointed him
out to them. On this, the witness was
to prove him, in order to get a warrant
10 move him out Of the State. They did
not take him Immediately, but watched
his haunts, and waited proper time
when they might get him off without
much trouble from the friends of the
blacks. Sam, the runaway, discovered
that these two men were watching him,
and he watched them as we'll One
evening, j'.st at dusk, which they
thought the most proper time, as Sam
was saving his last stick of wood. with
