For the Massachusetts Spy
St

/ or the Massachusetts Spy.
Judges and Ldugers should be men of
Religion.
''Lct us hear the conclusion of the whole
matter-Fear God, and keep his command
ments ; for thisis the whole duty of man. For
God shall bring every work into judgment,
with every secret thing, whether it be good,
or whether ii be evi.'
1t is said in Deuteronomy, I" charged your
judges at that time, saying, hear the causes be-
tween Your brethren, and Judge righteously be-
tween every man and his brother, and the stran-
ger that is with him. Ye shall not respect per-
sons in judgment, but ye shall hear the small
as well as the great ye shall not be afraid OF
the face OF man; for the judgment is Gods"
True religion does not sit with an i'll grace on
any, let his station be ever SO high, or his learn
ing ever so great and it is impossible that a
Judge should perform his rhole duty, unless
he have the fear of God before his eyes. Ola
great and learned ancient Judge it is record
ed, that in "religion he was devout towards
God, reyerent in the church, attentive to SER
mons, and constant in family duties. Whilst
he lived, he was the example of the life Of
faith, love and good works. "Pericles de-
clared, that not only the hand Of magistrate,
but also his eyes and his tongue should be pure
and undefled." Sir Edward Coke boldly as
serts, that g Nunquam prospere succedunt res
humane, ubi negliguntur dirinG." The
truth OF this maxim is strikingly verified, as to
all beneficial purposes, in most of the employ
ments oflile. "Blessed is the man that walk
eth not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in
the seat Of the scornful. But his delight is in
the law Of the Lord and in his law doth he
mediate day and night. And he shall be
like tree planted by the rivers of water that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season his leaf
also shall not wither; and acbatSoeucr he doeth
ShaHprosper" If Christianity be the pressrv-
er and supporter of science and literature, then
certainly the Herata should be the cordial and
interchangeable friends of religion.
&C Learning has borne such fruit in other days.
On all her branches piety has found
Friends in the friends of science, and true
prayer
Has flowed from lips wet with Castalian
dewsn
The inestimable value of morality and re.
igion appear to the view Of the judge and the
lawyer at every step through the whole course
of professional duty. The honour, respecta-
bility and happiness Of those who are pure in
heart and in life, and who possess religious
principle, and live by the rules of the Gospel,
are so far preferable TO the degradation, infa-
my and misery oil those who are corrupt and
impious, and who have no moral sense or con-
science, that every one on reflection must de-

Yo1ng Ladies.

Young Ladies.
Next to mothers, the young ladies
have the greatest agency in forming
the character Of the other sex. Their
Influence commences at a period when
it is most needed. Young men, al
though their characters are in great
measure formed, require some power
ful restraint just at the time when they
are becoming acquainted with the
world, and are beginning to move be-
yond the inspection of mothers eye.
The young females with whom they
associate are the guardians of their viz
tues, and accountable for most of their
evil practices into which they fall. It
requires but little observation to be
convinced that multitudes of young men
who are destitute of religious princi-
pies pursue that'line of conduct which
is most likely to meet the views of the
young ladies with whom they associate,
and whose appreciation they desire to
obtain. There is not vice prevalent
among them that would not be reIin-
quished, were it reprobated, and the
perpetrators of it avoided by the young,
the fashionable, and the intelligent Of
the sex. None but the most hardened
and impudent blasphemer will even now
utter an oath in the presence of any re-
spectacle female. Why, then, is not
protaneness banished from our country
Because we welcome the swearer into
our society, "a condition that when he
retires he may give full vent to the
oaths which have accumulated in pro-
portion to the period of restraint. If
the omission TO do good or to prevent
evil, when in ones power, be crime,
what tremendous account we shall
have to render on the score Of profane-
ness, intemperance, gambling, and duel
ling These practices, which disturb
the peace of society, mar the happiness
of families, hurry muItitudes TO death
and perdtioD, and must ultimately call
down the Indignation of Heaven on our
country, might be greatly restrained, if
not entirely exterminateG, by a vigorous
and JudiciOuS effort on the part of our
sex. Let The practices themselves be
uniformly mentioned in terms of repro
baton, and let us avoid those who pur-
sue them, as we would the midnight as
sassin, or the great adversary Of God
ard man.

Exemplary Punishment By Women.
While at Patterson, circumstance
occurred, which to me was of most novel
and extraordinary nature. Twas told how
ever, it was custom of that place. A
man hogged his wife severely. He was
arrested and taken before jury of 81
women. They sentenced him 10 be
whipped uatil he should appear perfect
ly penitent, and beg his wife's pardon
on his knees. He refused. Seven cow
skins were accordingly provided, and
were actively employed by seven of the
twenty-one women, on the back of the
criminal. He still continued stubborn.
Seven others then took the cowskins
and lashed him WELL Still he remain

with much energy, then commenced

He had an only sister, who loved
him with all the tenderness which the
ties of consanguinity, and the warmth
of affections peculiar to her sex, could
inspire. Distracted with sorrow on
hearing the fatal news, she rushed into
the street, her hair hanging loose on
her shoulders, and, regardless of the
delicacy of her sex, bewailed the loss

frantic woe. 1t was sight too much

of his guilt, aggravated by the desso

cruel fate bot very short time; and
her last request was that she might be
buried in the same untmely grave

OR FALSE.
A gentleman, recently from Boston,
relates the following singular affair,
which, he says, happened just before
he left that place A person had been
committed 10 prison, for passing coun-
terfeil Shortly after, a negro
was taken up for some crime, and
confined in ibe same room; but was
taken sick in abou. week, and died.
Next day coffin was provided, and
the body of the deceased deposited in
it. AS people of colour are generally
inferred in the evening. by those of
their complexion, the coffin was suffer.
ed to remain, till night, in the room
with the Money maker.-Alter the
jailer and those who accompanied him
had left the room, he bethought him
self the present would be most favo-
rable opportunity to make his escape,
and thereby avoid the punishment that
awaited him. The wicked do not so
much care what are the means, if they
can but accomplish their designs
When all was still and safe, he took
the corpse out ofthe coffin, and placed
it in his own hammock; got into it
himself, and turned the lid down care
fully as before, In this situation he
lay, anxiously yet fearlully waiting The
moment when he should be liberated
fromhis loathesome confinement - In
the evening. the coffin was taken from
the prison-room by four good lusty nc
groes, appointed for that purpose, and
solennly conveyed to the burying
ground. When they arrived at The
grave, the coffin was set down with
great care; & one of them was about to
make Il speech upon the death of their
companion. Scarcely had he time to
utter one word, before the lid of the
coffin few open, and the money maker
Jumped out and made his escape !;
while the poor negroes, affrighted al
