And rclioing tliunder* rent the Ik) ;
All handt'klnft to meet tlie llurm.
At midnight was the boatlwain'* cry.
On deck ft’ w every gallant tar

Within a feammei.k'E narrow bound,

The hill wu he of all the crew
On deck to ipring—to trim the lail ,
To (leer—or reel—to Itirl or due.
Now fe iditeife had leir’d a form
Which nature call in fined mould ;
The mitlcvatch bell now i'mote hi* heart,

“ O Cod! he cried, and jafp'd for breath,

“ To dole, in death, my weary eyes

And backward fell, to rile no more.

From the (Charlctton) COUXIER,
THE MORALIST.
Os all the baneful habits which
give an improper bias to the
minds of children, that of per
mitting or encouraging them to
revenge upon brute any
Vexation they may have receiv
Cii from thtir ailbeiates, is by
no means the lead important.
I have seen parents and nurses,
when a child has been crying for
hr knew not what, give him
fome animal and tell him, * beat
ltj my dear, for affronring you.’
Trifling as this circumstance at
firft fight may appear, it is,
neverthclefs, drferving 6t the
molt ficrious attention of those
who are entrtifted with the can
of children. It imprelfcs upon
the mind of the child a belief,
that all his uneasinesses, vexa
tions and mortifications arile
from external causes, or from
other persons, and do Dot de
pend upon himlclf. It makes
him impatient 6f dil'appoint
ment and sullen under reproof.
It flatters his vanity but dellroys
his judgment. It gives him a
lclf-importancc in his own eyes,
which, as he giows up, renders
him ridiculous in the eyes of all
£ round him.
That the aflv&ions of chil
dren may not be eilranged from
their parents, they finuici hr
kept as much under their evens
circumfiances will permit An
rhr ; r fpoits and aiTiul'ements
Ihould be such as give heal h
and vigor to their bodies,, and
convey in a pleasing manner,
information to their minds- All
their recreations Ihould, if pof
fiblc, be in the pretence of their
elders; this would ftrve as a
check upon their conduct and
co iverfation, and be an incen
tive to emulation. If among
their aflbeiates there fiiould be
any for whom a partiality is
felt, their language and opin
ions, their principles and actions
are adopted, be they good uj
bad. Eor this rcafon, every a
veme to the heart should be
guarded with v gtlance, and no
person ihould be allowed to ap
proach them but thole whose ex
ample will inlpire virtuous lcn
timents, and excite emotions ot
benevolence.
Ail their campanions and
friends should be thole from
whom fiomething may be gain
ed, but by whom nothing can
dc 101 l ; who would convey ule
ul information to their minds
through various channels, until
they meet in manhood, like
die united Area ns of many wa
ters, and enable them to burst
upon the world in beauty and
tplendour; ornaments to lociety,
ar.d blessings to their parents and
their country.
For the purpose of producing
laudable ambition in the mind o.
a child, I am of opinion that it
ts best for fcvcral to be educated
together, whether it be in private
or in a public seminary. For,
among the number it is very
probable that fome will become
an example to the rest, in virtue
and good conduit as well as in
learning. It is here that habits
and manners arc formed, which,
oftentimes, continue through the
rest of their lives; and to give
a pioptr form to these habits is
the great art and myltery of ed
ucation.
1 he desire of being tho’r fu
per.or to their contemporaries,
animates the bolom of all ages,
ranks and conditions of men ;
from the child who with his
horn-book, trudges bare-foot to
fchool, to him who rules and
governs a nation- “If any one
Ihould doubt the exjftance of
this propensity, let him go and
attentively obierve the journey
men and apprentices in the fi ft
work-shop, or the oarllnan in a
cock-boat—a family or a neigh
boihood—the inhabitants of a
houle, or the crew of a ship
a fchool or a Cottage —a city or
a village—a lavage or a civiliz
er* people—an holpital or a
church—the bar or the ex
change—a camp or a court.
Whenever men, women or chil
dren, are to be found whether
they be old or young—rich or
poor—high or low—wife or tool
ifh—ignorant or learned—every
individual is seen to be strongly
affuated by a Celire to be seen
neard, talked of, approved and
ref petted by the people about
hi it, and within his knowledge.”
“The love of jiraife.j howe'er conceal’d
by art,
Reigns more or less, and glouri in every
heart ;
The proud to gain it, toil* on toili endure
The modell Ihun it, but to make it lure.”

FEMALE TEMPI-R.—As, Extras.
“It is particularly neccflary
for girls to acquire command of
temper, bceaufe much o’ the ef
fect of their powers of rcafioning,
and of their wit, when they grow
up, will depend upon the gentle
ness and good humour with which
they condutt chemfelves. A
woman who should attempt to
thunder with her longue, would
ndt find her eloquence increase
her aomeftic bappinefs. —We do
not wilh that women ihouid in>
plicitly yield their better judg
ment to their fathers or husbands,
out let them support the caule

Ihould be confidtrcd by those
who advise that no difference
Ihould be made in the education

of wo lien, both as wives and
