The Chevalier de Courten, having to
pass one Of the swollen Swiss rivers
when it was agitated, hesitated to enter
the ferry-boat, but being at length per
suaded to embark, he endeavored to en-
courage himself by conversing with the
boatman. my FRIEND said he, 'haye
you not sometimes the misfortune to
lose the persons you carry !"'Oh!never,
Sir, said the boatman; 'for my poor wife
was drowned last week, but we found
her the very next day.

ON CONVERSATION.

Good nature is more agreeable in
conversation than wit, and it gives
certain air to the countenance, which
is more amiable than beauty.
The talent Of turning men into ridi
cule, and exposing those we converse
with, is the qualification Of little, un-
generous tempers. The greatest ble-
mishes are often found in the most
shining characters. But what an alb
surd thing it is, to pass over all the
valuable parts of a man rand fix our at
tention on his in6rmities to observe
his imperfections more than his vir-
tues

come only for amusement but pre-
judicial to him who would reap profit

WILMINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY,

Learn the art Of entertaining myself alone, with
out being weary or melancholy; and then thou wilt
not be much put to it, for want of recreation and
company.
The plain and simple preaching Of Jesus, and him
crucifed, will accomplish more than all the learned
treatises upon Theology, which the world ever pro-
duced; and verify believe, that it will be found in
the great day Of account, that the faithful and sim
pie preaching of the gospel has converted ten thou
sand times more souls, than all the polemcal wrl-
tiers that ever lived
The human mind is originally an unsown field,
prepared for the reception Of any crops and if those
to whom the culture of it belongs, neglect to SOW il
with good gran will speedily be covered with ares.

FOR THE WATcHMhN.

Mr.. EprToH,--some time ago was considerably amused
with the Advertisements in your paper of Mr.. NJ J.
which, the me really excited some little sympathy in
my breast, for him but had forgotten Mr. N. J. and
his publications entirely, when the doeful subject was
again recalled to my mind by the following lines in West
paper, which beg leave to transcrbe for the Watch
man. TABtIHh.
A Wilmington Gentleman wishes wife
Possessed Of each virtue, and free from all strife;
Such wives scarce produce, frankly confess,
And neer be oband through the of the Press
Other steps he must take good wife to obtain,
AS fear his advertisement never will gain
Such one as described--I can venture to say
IPll never propose for this Mr. " NJ j."
The description answer as himself;
For, were to judge, should think him an elf,
To suppose, for moment, my sex would descend
To accept of man who himself would commend
A newspaper courtier ever despis'd
Therefore, by friend, let him once be adgisd,
Ifvirtues he's any-though never so few
Beware TO expose them too common to view.
The modesty, virtue, and sense admire,
In seeking wife, from the Press would retire.
| If right remember, never have known
man SO assuming, that ever got one. ELlSHELA.

FRIENDS.


Friend after friend departs:
Who hath not lost friend!
There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here an end;
Were this frail world our final rest,
Living or dying, none were blest.
Beyond the flight of time,
Beyond the reign of death,
There surely is some blessed cline
Where life is not breath;
Nor life's affections transient FIRE,
Whose sparks fly upwards and expire!
There is world above
Where parting is unknown:
A long eternity OF love
Formed for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that glorious sphere!
Thus star by star declines
Till all are past away;
As morning high and higher shines
To pure and perfect day;
Nor sink those stars in empty night,
But hide thepselves in Heavens own Ugh
