Mn. EnIToR-ln perilsing your paper some
time back, | find petition from Mr. Jones, pray
ing an august and honcurablc body to reconsider
the subject of his marriage; which says he sin
the greatness of its clcncncy has vouchsatcd to
fix upon a companion and publish the bands OF
matrmony," &C., which has induced me to send
a few lines. In behalf of Mr.. Jones, shall cn- }
dcavour to exhibit the impolitic proceedings OF
/ that body TO whom his renonstrance is address
ed, and by whose proceedings he feels himself
very much aggrievcd:-lst, In consequence OF
the hot weather: 2nd, The circumstances pecu-
liar TO marriage would undoubtedly impair his
health and disable him from harvesting: 3rd, The
difficulty of collecting money, and dctcrnina-
ton not to involve himself in debt as usual which
would operate much against him. Now most
honourablc body, will you pursue plan which is
calculated to ruin the health and produce train
Of circumstances which may parallzc the genius
ofindustry and involve in debt so prominent and
distinguished u character, or will you be regard
less to his petition having glanced the eye OF
retrospect to that period when he had an elderly,
moderate and prudent wife, and in pathetic strains
has strongly represented the difficulty under
which he then laboured, and which he fears VIII
be materially augmented in consequence OF his
more advanced age, and circumstances peculiar
TO Young wifci viii you not hearken to the
invocation of him whose religious department
has been unparalleled for these many years, mas
much as he has obcycd some Of the most solemn
iriunctions of holy writ; one of which think
merits specia notice. g Be fruitful and multiply"

Jones, not onlv in their religious capacities, bnt
in the appcllaton given them: David was called
the master Of Israel, to Solomon was attributed
inimitable wisdom, and to Mr.. Jones the epithet
of shepherd, to whom was entrusted the care
and oversight the hock; in the discharge OF
which some have criminated him for being
; wolf in Sleeps clothing. Then, seeing he has
acquitted himself with more than ordinary sue
cess already, grant him the privilege OF another
choice, and suspend the time OF marriage "nui
