A POoR pARsoN IN

A POoR PARsoN IN " DIFFIcULT.''-A
reverend gentleman, who, out OF couresy TO the
" reverend rohes,' was elected TO say PRAYERS,
for the honorable members of the New-York

Ripper would say, got himself INTO a 'diffcuH."
II appears that on the morning of the 20th INST
the parson, decorated with his robes of Office
mounted the Speakers Chair, and after the man.
ner OF Mawworm, prayed most devoutl, ihat the
Ruler of the Skies, would soften the hard hearts
of those members who voted against the bll maxi
ing an appropriation for the Greeks; and at the
same breath, took the liberty 10 represent the
gentlemen at the Throne of Grace, as nidels. old
of christian feelings, and corse than the rag 1bond
Turks. One of the gentlemen of the House,
named Hay. delegate from the county of War
rem, who had not boon accus; omed 10 assoc ate
prayers with legislation, and elergymen with the
Affairs of state, very grayely and properly offered
resolution TO The House, expressing is dsappro-
baton Of this conduct, and requesting Mr. Speaker
TO request the Reverend Mr. Alburts 10 discon-
time the practice Of discussing, in his prayers,
subjects which belonged to the Legislature, and
not 10 the gentlemen Of the gown and surplice.-
The resolution, on motion Of the gentleman, was
ordered to lie on the table, that the Reverend
ren'leman shond have an opportunity of making
an explanation and an apology.
Such was the way in which he should have been
treated, though his nsolence and arrogance would
not nave been 100 severely punished, il he had
been remo' ed from his Office and expelled the
House. l. IS time that these rere-end gent lenen,

Mn. SrANLY.--This gentleman, a very popu-
lar member of the Legislature of North Carolina,
and Speaker Of the House Of Commons, was re-
Gently, whilst speaking on a bill before the Joint
Committee Of both Houses, suddenly attacked
with fainting fl, and before he could conclude
his remarks, was obliged TO apologize to the Chair
man for his inability to 60 on; and calling for a
glass of water, feebly resumed his seat. On dis.
covering his situation, member moved for an ad-
journment; but the House could not legally dis
solve, when the Speaker was absent from the
Chair, he was bore to il by the members, when
veycd to his lodgings, when paralysis took place,
which so effected his right side and tongue, that
he unable to resume his duties.
BY tie last advices, received from North Caro-
lima, are gratifed to learn, that the honorable
gentleman has partially recovered; and the fol.
lowing paragraph selected from the Raleigh Reg
ister, gives us reason to hope that he will ultimate
ly be returned to his usual health and ability:
Mr.. Stanly--It is with sincere pleasure we
state, that this gentleman has so far recovered
from the distressing attack which Threatened to
PROSTATE not only his physical powers, but to an
initiate the faculties Of his mind, as 70 be able
TO leave here on wednesday last for Newbern.-
The paralysis of his left side still continues, but
the improvement Of his general health is such as
to inspire his friends with the hopes Of its entire
restoration.
Mr. Stanley is a gentleman of more than ord-
nary powers of mind, and has received the advan-
tages of finished education. Designed by ma.
turc, to hold an envable rank among men, and to
do honour TO his native state, it was hoped and
expected, that he would, at distant day, be put
in possession of that influence, which his high at.
tributes ought ever TO command.
The heavy hand of an All-Ruling Providence.
has, however, visited him, and il is feared, he will
never be enabled to resume that station in life,
which appears to have been marked cut for him

New PuBLIcATIoNs.-The city Of New York

New PUBLICATIoNs.-The city Of New York
is threatened with nundation Of newspapers
and to add something 70 the certainty Of the ca
tastrophe, an association of very moral gentle
men, who think that the order of things is not
wisely regulated, have offered proposals for pub
Eshng new daily paper in that city, the name
of which we have not yet learned, which, ,chen
't goes into operation, is to set things o-rghts,
and introduce new system of moral ethics.
The publishers, or rather the individuals that are
TO be the publishers, announce, that, as they con-
sdor the Theatre an institution which, in ts ope-
rations, is "inmical TO morality and calculated
TO destroy our republican form of government -
-" pro-di-gi-ous!''-the will exclude from the ir
columns all theatrical advertisements!
To this we presume the gentlemen Of the
stage will take no exceptions; but on the contra
ry will consider it matter of relief, since they
are already compelled TO patronze larger num-
Der OF presses than suits either their interest or
convenience. But f the paper goes into opera
tion, we marvel how long its very moral and
sanctifed proprietors will adhere to their deter
minatons."
In the second place, the very grave proprietors
announce, that Lotteries are pernicous in their
influences, and that therefore they will not pub
lish any Lottery advertisements! But if Lottery
shonid be got up TO erect meeting g-house, its III
iiuences would not be perncious;'' and would
me gentleman, IN that event, publish them gratis!
There would he the rub--between the meeting
house, pernicous influences, and Z" our pockstsr'
What dilemma! How would they decide'
Thirdly, they avow. that as they will not vio-
late The Sabbath by setting types on that day, OF
collecting ship news, they will issue their Mon
day morning paper in the euening, thus afford
ing their workmen an opportunity to visit sucl,
places of resort as they may be in the habit OF
frequonting. How very pous!
Now, 10 us, this appears the most ridiculous
project for the getting up of newspaper, that
we ever heard Of, and we shall tell the gentle
men, in word, that they will not succeed, II
they will persist in this plan, we canddly advise
them TO 90 the whole, and not to suffer any man
who ffeguents theatre, buys a lottery ticket, oi
reads lottery advertisement, or looks over a ma
rine LIST on the Sabbath, to become patron OF
their publication, and they will soon see where
Literary cadet, and Saturday evening bulletin. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1826-1827, 1827-03-31

they will end--.tey will come TO the bostom-lne
Of their account current.
II is the hard fortune of printers, that they are,
from necessity, compelled to labour on the sab-
bath, contrary to their wishes, and at the expense
of their comfort and interest. TIE man who pub
lshes paper on Monday morning, must work on
the Sabbath; and if he should defer his publica-
tior, and by way of apology tell bis patrons, he
"went up into the temple to pray" they would
Withdraw from hIm their patronage, and ask him
what business lie had to pray! Let the winds
blow, tie tempest roar, or even if he be laid 'ow
by tie hand of disease, the paper must come, or
the patrons will withdraw. Printers no more
fond of incessant labour than any other class of
society; and we venture TO say, that not one OF
the profession can be found, who would not rath-
er go Sup to the temple" on the /" "sabbatiI of the
Lord" than visit his Office.
The publication Of which we now speak, we
hope will not succeed; the language of the pros
pectus partakes too LARGELY OF bypocritical cant;
and IL seems be IA g cob-Neb 10 catch flies, :"
and is not worthy of rhe patronage of the public.

of the New-York Spy, that we did not intend to

HAwEs s'BUILDING.--At lie request of friend
aud correspondent we give place to the follow
ing communication, on the subject of giving a
name, TO a splendid building, recently erected
in this town, by an association of public spirited
and enterprsing gentlemen. The edfce of
which our respected friend speaks, was founded
BY General JosuPH HAwrs, Colonel Joshua b.
Wood and Henry Holden, Esq and does much
credit to their mutual cn,erprize and persever-
ance.
1t seems that some diversity of opinion exists, as
to the name that should be attached to the build
ing; and although we do not know that the wor-
thy proprictors have any particular choice, or
manifest any anxiety on the subject, it appears
that others have thought proper to express their
wishes As it would be difficult to honour the
building with the united names of the pro prie ors,
it seems no more than reasonable act Of courte-
sy that it should bear that Of The Oldest propre-
tor; and if the facts stated by our correspondent
be correct-and We do not doubt they are--we
cannot conceive why it should not be called
HAwEs' BUILDING. But we will not occupy
more space; and with these incidental observa.
tions, we refer our friends to TIE communication,
to which we have more than once alluded
ron THE LITERARY CADET.
II the edfces and monuments of utility and n-
genuity, are entitled to names, they should bear
those of their founders; for those who construct
them deserve remembrance in the annals ofhistory.
splendid edfce, credtabe TO lis propriotors,
and to the architect, has just been completed in
this town, and some difference of opinion exists,
as to the name 'fat should he attached TO it.
Messrs. Hawes, Wood and Holden, were it's foun-
ders, but as it would be awkward, 10 call it
Hawee, Wood and Holden building, it has been
suggested that it should be distinguished by the
name Of the Oldest proprietor. Beyond this, il
should be known and remembered, that the ed-
flee would not have been erected, but for the per.
severng and lndcfltgable zeal of General Hawes,
who, when the contractor unfortunately failed to
make good his engagements, came forward and
supplied the means for carrying and completing
the work. We believe that the co-partners have
no objection to calling the structure HAwEs'
BUILDING, and as the public can have no partic.
uar interest in the affair, it will be called so.

tight ship, and can easily be dispensed with. We
are not behind others in Offering our respects to
the holy rel gon of our country; but We do ex-
ceedngly doubt if legislation is ever promoted by
the prayers of clergyman. On the contrary,
much evil may grow out Of their lninstrations,
as they may, in many cases, influence the votes
Of sc arian members. As 10 tie bill before lie
New York legislature, for an appropriation for
the Greeks, we believe that that body acted
wisely in rejecting it, and we do not think that
the members ought to be denounced by whining
parson, simply because lie was in favor of its pas
sage. If clergyman is permitted to pray bill
through the Legislature of any State, for the re-
lief Of the suffering Greeks, why might he not,
by the rule, pray into existence bill grant
ing bank charter, an act of incorporation foi
theatrical establishment, or for an act giving cor
pora'c provinces 10 company about to be form
ed, for lie free IN poration Of apes and monkeys!
The thing should be crushed in its bud, if we do
not want TO union of Church and State.

THE EVENING STAR.

The EVENING STAR.
OH sweetly shines the summer sun,
When heaven from clouds il free,
And brightly CLEANS the moonlight on
Field, rock, and forest tree.
But to the pensive heart Of love,
oh sweeter than these by far,
Il is with devious step TO rove
Beneath the evening star.
To others give the festive hall,
Where wine-cups shine in light;
The music OF the crowded ball,
With beanty's lustre bright:
But give to me the lonely dell,
oh sweotos than these by far,
Where pine trees wave, and waters swell,
Beneath the evening star.
The days are past that I have seen,
And ne'er again shall see,
When nature with brighter green,
O'erspread the field and tree,
Though joyless not the present day,
Yet sweeter than il by far,
'Tis on the past to muse, and stray
Beneath the evening start
For all the future cannot give
What spareless time has reft,
And, Jessy, since then ceased to live,
A vacant world is left.
j turn me to my days Of love,
The sweetest on earth by far,
And Oft in thought with thee rovo
Beneath the evening star!

And our labors may soon

And the Grand Masters call,
Shall announce 10 us all,
That with JOY our refreshment is blended.
But ere we have done,

And admire his meridian beauty;

Pure, glorious, and bright,
Enligbtcning and prompting to duty.
Wc rejoice in the day,
Aud wish still To display
The objects of fair wisdom and kindness,
And pity the plight
or those who have light,
Yet wllfully grope in thor blindness
With industry still,
And with zeal and good will,
Lot us workIor ourselves; and for others;
FREQ, accepted, and true,
What Is worthy pursue,
AS becomes firm band of good brothers.
So when al tho last,
Onr days are all past,
And the mandate In rest shall bo riven.
We all may bo fit

To be call d to refreshment in Heaven,

That, ascending tho skies,
Hand in hand we may rise,
And our union continue unbrokon.

nor an heroic epic, but AN undjgnifed
mixture of all three.-S;ir Walter Scott's
volumes were written for the meridian Of
Of London, where they will be read, ad-
mired, and sold. They are not written for
posterty, but made with nearly the same
view with Peter Pindar's rdS0ys, when the
cutler obtained money at the expense of
character. Sir Walter certainly overra.
ted his own powers when he presumed TO
write the history of the first man that ey-
or has appeared on the stage of human
actions. Such is the force of prejudice.
OF national and individual prejudice, that
neither Briton. nor Frenchman Of the
