SKM MMARKRAEKIEMKE KS CLOSE of the HONEY-MOON. From the DELINEATOR.

SIR,

3 SALERRO OF I do not write with the claf- GH ecco remooeeBe '- fical corvectnels of a carter, I ius OK ; hope I fhall deliver what I have

+f I * tofay inamanner fufficient to rivet your attention. When anononen @F* our feelings are ftrong, words

Seay WP HS are always at hia which,

tho they may not always be the moft forcible, will

be generally expreflive enough ; and upon certain occafions one ftroke from the heart is of more weight than a thoufand from the head.

‘lrained up, from my infancy, under the fofter- ing care of the fondeit parents, in the mof indul- gent ftyle, I grew fo truly attached to them, that I always found.home the feat of happinefs, and had never the flighteft 2m | to with for a removal.

A removal, howevet, having been projected by them on the most advantageous terms, my con- fent was, in a very winning mode of perfuafion, folicited ; and as [ could not poflibly produce a fingle word in oppofition to the character, deport- ment, and fortune of the gentleman who propofed an alliance with me,I readily articulated a compli- ance with their defires ; and felt myfelf happier than I had yet been, in every trace of felicity which I difcovered in their parental features, Af- ter whar | have faid, with regard to the readinefs

f my compliance, you will naturally imagine hat I was not altogether indifferent about the man offered to be my partner for life. ‘

You will, perhaps, be ready to fay. Sir, that though I gavea ftrong proof of filial duty, by the cheerful acceptance of him whom my parents chofe for me, I was not totally in a ftate of indifference : if you mean, that I felt any thing like a tender fenfation, you are miftaken. I refpe&ted him, I almoft revered him, but I own I did not love him, when I went with him to the altar.

As M. D was naturally of a ftudious difpofition, he {pent fo much of his time among his books, before he made his ferious addrefles me, that I was a little furprifed when he made@ vertures of the matrimonial kind, from a fuppofi- tion, and was it not a natural one? that he would not prove a companion after her own heart, to the girl who dearly loved to joinin the chorus of

converfation, and whofe fupreme delight phe

from the free exchange of fentiments, with peopl ef fenfe and fpirit, who had fomething to fay to give a {pur to attention, and whonever dozed a- way their time at a vifit, without uttering a fyl- lable to keep the liftening ear in an ered ftac,

’ + 7; ae -

Having drawn fuch conclufions as thefe from Mr. D ’s literary propenfities, and from his predileétions in favour of filent pleafures, | conceived no hope of finding hima man after my own mind, “ three weeks after marriage.’’? But O ! how fweet was my difappointment! when I found him, in a fortnight, the very hufband I could with him to be; and before the honey- moon was over, my happinefs wanted no addition. In confeqnence of the pureft principles, and the fublimeft ideas of integrity, he wasa man whom every body efteemed; for his deep literary ta- lents, and juft tafte, his converfation was courted by men of the firft abilities; and he behaved to me during the firft hymeneal month in fo engaging a manner, that I am not afhamed to fay, | loved him. But here I muft clofe the curtain of felicity, the remainder of my letter muft contain matters of another complexion. ‘* © what a falling off was there !”? Pardon this fally of recolleGtion—I will endeavor to proceed.

Soon after the happy honey-moon was over, I perceived a coolnefs in Mr. D *s behaviour tome, which gave me no fmal! difquiet ; as his carriage, however, was obliging, and refpeétful , [ kept the uneafinefs which 1 endured to myfelf ; and almoit met him with gmiles, though I was, at the fame time, in a very ineligible fituation, for want of being acquainted with the caufe of the change which had produced it. I was not indeed long on the rack of fufpence ; 1 foon difcovered all that I wanted to know, but the difcovery occa- fioned a fcene of diftrefs which I fhall never forget while memory is alive.

Sitting one day in my dreffing-room, meditat- ing on the vifible, the ftriking alteration in Mr. D *sdemeanor to me, to the whole fami- ly, and moft anxioufly wifhing to account for the plaring traits of mental mifery in his countenance,

heard a frightful noife in the adjoining chamber, and found Mr. D endeavouring to huftle a {mart, fhowy-young woman out of the room, who, upon my entrance, ranup tome, and in very a- nimated language upbraided me for having fedac- ed her hufband, and preventing him from paying thpfe attentions to her, which fhe had an indi{put- able right to demand.

Struck at fo unexpected a fight, at fo unlooked for a difcovery, I was almoft ready to fink to the floor ; a up fpirit enough to afk Mr.

D the lady before me had uttered a falfe- hogd, or 4iferted a truth. verwhelmed with confuafion, he ftood filent, th his eyes fixed on vacancy, for fome moments and then—as it ftarting fcoth a hideous dream, turned to the lady inqueftion, and faid, (the tre- mulous tene of his voice will never be forgotten) ** the is my wife.’” f, I ftaid to hear no more—I had heard enoagh— too—too much—I flew out of the houfe imme- diatlely, determined not to remain in it, after what paffed, and haiténed to thofe indulgent pa- rents, in compliance with whofe fond defires I

a = . ae : a Pe. as eer 4 . a7 =

had given my hand to Mr. D-———.

They received me with all their wonted kind. nefs, and embraced me with open arms ; but ho words can expres the looks which the difcovery of *s treacherous behaviour produced. ‘They loaded the villain with every epithet of execration they could think of, and accuied themfelves, in the fevereft terms, of having, though moft inno- cently, laid the foundation of my deep diftrefs. To yive a finithing ftroke to this melancholy pic- ture, while we were thus mutually forrowing over the icene, from which fo mach felicity had, with the moft flattering profpects, been expected, two men, not very genteel in their appearanc, nor polite in their addrefs, requetted, 1 [sould fay de- manded, an interview with my father. «He, ac- cordingly, left the room. How thall I delineate the features with which he retarned! Looking wildly about the room, and wringing his hands, like a man bereft of his underitanding, he ex- claimed—‘‘ I am rained—I am ruined!—This fellow having taken advantage of a commercial conneétion I formerly had with him, has drawn me in for afum, by the payment of which I fhall be reduced to a fituation barely fufficient to pro- vide the common neceffaries of life.’’ Need | go on? every reader of fenfe will conceive, every reader of fenfibility will feel the agonizing diftrefs of—tears rufhing into my cyes will not let me—.

REFLECTIONS on VARIOUS SURJFCTS.

T is not from men in want, whether the real

or imaginary, we are to feck the natural biafs of the foul. ‘The neceflaries and comforts of life are procured by vaft labour and hardthips, which fall to the lot of the common herd of mankind in all countries ; ,and labour requires harfh, forced and violent motions, which therefore become ha- bitual tothe crowd. Asthis race of men walk not for pleafure, but to perform journies, or to remove where their occafions callsthem, they take the advantage of bending the body forward, and of aiding the motion by a fling with their arms as they walk—they have a nakednefs of expreffion, and their motions and addrefs are the iffue of hard- fhip and want, but not of the human difpofition or frame of mind ; onthe contrary, the moment man is releafed from the violence and mifery that

oppreffes him, that his real nature takes the lead,

and his taite affumes its hone rights; it covers him with decent elegance, it beftows on hima dig- nity worthy of the fovereign of earth, air, and water, it wraps him in the golden vifions of po- etry and mufic, charms him with the new ideas of beauty and grandeur. ‘Thefe are the natural paf- fions that lay hid, and now break forth to view, when the preffure is taken off that bent down the flave, and chained his attentions to the earth, The ‘appetite of beauty lies always in the mind ready to direét us to fine profpects.

BALTIMORE fal; 8.

On Saturday laft, about four o’clock, P.M. came on the mof violent guit of wind and rain e- ver experienced here—while the livid lightning and loud peals of thunder heightened the aw- fully majeftic fcone. The low roofed cot of the humble poor could not elude the lightning’s fork- ed dart-~a fatal flath conducted by the chimney, entered the dwelling of Mr. Daniel Mentz, (near the caufeway, leading to Fell’s-Point) an honett induftrious citizen, and in one monent transform- ed his yenerable wife Elizabeth, his blooming daughter Pamela, and his beauteous boy Jehu, to pale lifelefs coties'—A hoy, about eight years old, and hisinffnt brother, were the only per- fons inthe houfe who were fpared ; the former received a fevere fhock ; but recovering foon, and obferving the fate of his haplefs relatives, imme- diately gave the alarm to a neighbours who be- came the firft witneffes of a fcene the moft melan- choly and gegen that imagination can picture. It may prove a ufeful caution here to mention, that the unfortunate fufferers were all fituated near the chimney. The unhappy hufband and father of this devoted family is now abient, toil- igg for the fabfiftence of that wife and thofe chil- dren who no longer require his honeft exertions.

O ye ! whofe hours in jocund train advance,

Whofe fpirits to the fong of gladnefs dance,

Who flowery vales in endlefs views furvey,

Glittering in beams of vifionary day.

Oh ! yet while fate delays th’ impending woe,

Be rous’d to thought, anticipate the blow ;

Left like the lightning’s glance the fudden ill

Flath to coufamed, and penetrate to kill.

Confiderable damage hath been fuftained by the ftorm in various quarters of the town : the roofs were torn from feveral buildings by the fury of contending winds and many trees blown down. Itis feared, the thipping and boats in the bay have fuffered by this war of elements, as feveral boats in the harbor were overfet, and the people with difficulty efcaped drowning.

RICHMOND, fFauly 9.

*¢ Since my laft, General Sevier croffed the Tenafce with a detachment of light infantry and horfemen, and by a rapid movement reached Hi- waflee undifcovered. He attacked the Indians, who, after a feeble refiftance, fled ; about twen- ty were found dead on the ground, many were dcowned, or killed in the river: in fhort, the enemy’s defeat was complete. The General fays he meauis to follow up his blows until he drives the Cherokees out of all their fettlements on this fide Cumberland mountain.’’

NEW-Y ORK, Jury 19.

On Thurfday evenin was launched, the FE- DERAL SHIP HAMILTON, amidft the accla- mations of a large concourfe of people.

From Poughkeepfie we learn, that the anti-fe- deralifts called for the final queftion on Monday laft, but were over-ruled by a motion of Mr. Hamilton, feconded by Mr. G. Livingftony that the queition be poitponed till the next aay, which was carried. ,

Next day Mr. Hamilton brought forward a plan for ratification, “hearly fimilar to that of Virginia, only containing more declarations. On this a confiderable debate took piace, and much of the old ground gone over, and the decifion again poftponed till the next day.

‘On Sunday the 6th init. arrived at Bofton, the brig Expedition, Capt Cole, in 43 days from Ca- diz. Capt. Cole advifes,that the Ruflian fleet which had been equipped for the Mediterranean fea, arrived in England fome time before he left Spain, but would not, it was faid, proceed to that fea, until towards Auguft; the number of tail compofing the Ruffian fquadron, could not be af- certained, but was fuppoied to be as numerous as that of the Spanifh armada, which was out on a cruife, off Cape St. Vincent’s, and confiited o. twelve fail of the line; That the Spaniards had demanded of the Ruffians their butinefs in the Mediterranean, who returned for anfwer, that matters of their own concern engaged their atten- tion in that fea.

Capt: Cole, of the Bxpedient, lately arrived at Bofton from Cadiz, informs, that the difference between the Britith and Moors in all probability would foon be accommodated, and that the Eng- lith merchant fhips which were bound up the Streights, and which had put into the ports of Spain, in confequence of the rupture, had departed and failed for the places of their deitination with- out fearof their being moiefted by the Moors, though a fleet belonging to the emperor was then out. But one Algerine cruizer was in thofe feas, and no American veffel was heard to have been captured when Capt. Cole failed.

*« The news ain this country is exceedingly unfavorable. The Indians have done us more mifchief this year, than for at leaft four years paft. Scarce a boat can pafs below Limeftone bux what is attacked by them ; fix or feven have been

efcaped from them, we are informed, that the In- dians have procured a boat or rathera kind of a floating battery, with the fides built high and bul-

the great Miami. They lately took a boat in

ry that I never heard of being pratifed before

emg

taken, fome valuable lading ; by a prifoner who

let proof ; this boat is ftationed near the mouth of

which was a Capt. Afhby and his family; a fon of Capt. Afhby’s having been very fpirited in the oppofition, the favages immediately put him to death, cut out his heart and broiled it, which they afterwards devoured in the prefence of the unhap- py father, who has fince made his efcape from them and come in. This is a piece of favage fu-

They frequently make their appearance round our frontiers, bet not with the fame fuccefs as on the river ; three of the wretches were killed lait wees. Five Indians had penetrated into the

G country within a few miles of Col. Benjamin Lo. gan’s, but two of them forfeited their lives for their temerity.—Our crops are fine, and {pecies of provifion in great abundance.”’

** T arrived here the 1{t inft. and found the country in motion. [I fuppofe you were in- formed of Col. Pickering being carried off. The people here have fhewn much ipirit to retake Col.

Extraa of a letter from Lexington, (Kentucky) to a gentleman in Winchefter, (Virginia) dated May 27, 1788,

«Oar country is exceedingly infefted with hof- tile favages this year: a number of families are deftroyed: the militia conftantly in motion to guard the frontiers, and to little purpofe : feveral valuable boats have been taken on the Ohio, and the paflengers totally deftroyed: Col. Jofeph Mitchell, who lived at the falling fprings, and his fon, a few days ago, unfortunately feli a prey to the Indians, omthe river, near the talls of Uhio. This day I have account of Mr. Henry Chriite, who lately married Mr. Cartmill’s daughter in your neighborhood, and fome others, being killed by Indians, on Salt River as he was conveying up his goods in a boat ; his lady is a young wi- dow, and a great caufe of lamentation. Our peo- ple appear amazingly hardened ; dying by Indi- ans makes litle impreflion ; familiarity is the caufe.’

The follewing is an extract of a letter from a young man (a private in Gen. Harmer’s corps) of fingular difcernment, and a fhare of literature which might do honor to many poflefled of com- miffions ; dated Fort Harmar, May 8th.

** Onthe 27th day of February lait a fubaltern, ferjeant, and corporal, with fixteen privates, a- mong whom was myfelf, were ordered out on command into the Indian country, being fent for by the king of the Delawares.—it is feveaty miles from this place totheiy ancampment, and we were three days and an halfin pertorming the march. We were to return the Mxtday, but king Pipes requefted the officer to leave a young man with him two days longer, when he defigned to vifit Fort Harmar, witha party of his nation, for trade. The officer appointed myfelf and andther teydraw Jots, neither of us chufing to remain in the hands of the Savages—the lot fell upon me, and I tar- ried, and was in their hands four days before they with me reached this poft—they ufed me very tenderly and with much kindnefs. A few days fubfequent to this I was again ordered out to accompany a.party of Wiandots and Delawares ; was with them twenty days, and treated very de- cently though I had no ufe for my tongue. Soon

- after myfelf and one other went with another par-

ty, of Delawares and Wiandots, eighty miles up the Mukingum.—Thefe fellows had a great plen- ty ofliquors, and kept moft of the time drunk, which made them very quarrelfome, and abufive to us ; but the fquaws hid their arms, and pro- te€ted us; we were with them eleven days; and

‘on their return they requefted that I might be fent

out with them again ; but, on my reprefentation of their treatment, the Commanding officer of the garrifon refufed to give them any more men for juch purpofes. There are now here a number of Delaware trading very peaceable.” Extra@ of a letter from Richmond, (Virginia) ‘ Fuly 9. ** On Sunday evening Tan we experienced. a mof violent ftorm, attended with rain and thun- der, which inceffantly poured forth flathes of li- quid flame, caufing acontinual roaring in the ele- ments. Several of the fhafts were near and fevere, onc of which ftruck a large houfe belonging to Mr. Gabriel Galt, in this city, and fhivered fe- veral pofts adjoining the houfe, but the building received but little damage.—A houfe belongin to Mr. Thomas Goode, in Manchefter, was ftruck about the fame time, and confiderably damaged, but happily no perfon received any injury thereby. A tree was alfo ftruck at Manchefter and fplit to pieces.” :

About two o’clock on Tuefday afternoon a fatal accident happened at the gaol in this city.— Mathew Drummond, a native of Ireland, being

o oy . . > - i

on the top of the prifon, imprudently (perhaps owing to intoxication) got on that part of the roof which is outfide of the balcony, and feeing an ac- quaintance, let go his hold to falute him, in con- {equence of which he fell ground, and ex- pired in a few minutes.— faid his wife and children refide at Philadelphia.

Died, on Tuefday the 8th inft. at Bofton, Tuomas Wacker, Efq. aged 70, late of Mon- treal, in the province of Canada. The virtuous and truly patriotic exertions of this gentleman, in oppofitiofto the arbitrary plan formed to change the civil government of Canada, early made him an objeét of minifterial vengeance ; his facred love of freedom induced him to join the American arm on their firft appearance in Canada, under Gen. Montgomery; his uniform and valorous conduct in that immortal hero’s campaign, his extenfive ufefulnefs in the honorable ftations he has fince fuftained, indelibly ftamps his character with the fignificant appellation of the gentleman and {ol- dier.

On Wednefday afternoon, departed this life, greatly lamented by his friends and acquaintance, Dr. EBENEZER CROSBY, after a lingering confumptive illnefs, which he faftained with chril- tian fortitude, patience and refignation.

Hard tafk, you'll own, yet harder fill, Betwixt three blooming toafts,

To tell, with nice difcerning kill, Which greateft beauty boatts.

Which hits your tafte above the reft— There is, and is fhe.

The TRANSFORMATION. Monkey once (anodd petition) — - Beg’d Jove to alter his condition,

And thus his bold requeft began :

Change me, I pray, and let me know,

Each human virtue, which below,

Compleats the creature fo approv’d,

And by the fairer fex belov’d;

For, fure, as lawfully we may

Affume the thape of men, as they

Copy from us each charm and grace

‘Con/picuons in the monkey-race.”’

ove heard his prayer,—and, what is ftrange,

t inftant to a man did change,

His peghhip, who does now bogin

‘To dreft, talk nonfenfe, and to grin;

And is, in mind, and outward fhew,

The very creature call’da Beau.

Tue MORALIST. The necefity of depending for fuccefs on the bleffing

of heaven. ; ET me finith the fubjeé&t, with recalling L your attention to that dependence on the blefling of heaven, which amid’ it all your endea- vours after improvement, you ought continually to preferve. It is too common with the young, even when they refolve to tread the path of virtue and honor, to fet out with prefumptuous confidence in themfelves. Trufting to their own abilities for carrying them fuccefsfully through life, they are carelefs of applying to God, or of deriving any affiftance from what they are apt to reckon the gloomy difcipline of religion. Alas ! how little do they know the dangers which await them? neither human wifdom, nor human virtue, unfupported by religion, are equal for the trying fituations which often occur in life. By the fhock of temp- tation, how frequently have the moft virtuous in- tentions been overthrown ! under the preffure of difafter, how often has the greateft conftancy funk ! deftitute of the favour of God, you are in no better fituation, with all your boafted abilities, than orphans left to wander in a tracklefs defert, with-

cover them from the gathering ftorm. Correct, then, this ill-founded arrogance. Expect not that your happinefs can be independent of him who made you. By faith and repentance, apply to the redeemer of the world. By piety and pray- er, feek the protection of the God of Heaven.

EK being diftinguifhed for her drefs, is ready to

ay the fame attention to fafhion as the Baftard in King Lear to Nature, and adopting his fpirited language, to exclaim, ‘« Thou, Fafhion, art my goddefs; to thy laws, My fervices are bound.’’—— Fafhion is fubftitated here with particular pro- priety, as the fine ladies of the age, in oppofition to the laws of nature, bind their fervices to her, and obey her capricious commands, however ridi- culous they-may, fecretly, think they are, with the moft perfeét fubmiffion, and would be fhocked to death to appear in the politeit circles, dreffed like no other woman in the place, though in a manner not only fuitable to her perfon, age, and fituation in life, but even elegant and becoming. Such is the fway of Fafhion, fach is her defpotic power.
