From the Pc it Boy. f< Reverence thyjelj ft*— Sterne. In this JhortJcntencc is contain ed the ejfence of morality. I know’ of no abtion either good cr bad but is implicitly enforced or forbidden by it. There is no man or wo man that in every situation of life reverences themselves but mnfi ne eejfarily be good—they must do honor to themselves and to the bighefi ornament cfjcciety. I would ask my fair country women % when they ajfemble round their tea-tables , and every idle tale they henry though big with deft ruction to someone's reputation or happinefsy whether they reve rence themselves ? I would ask the gambler, when he leaves his home , his wife and little onesy and passes the night with knaves andJharpers whether he reverences himfelf? 1 would ask the drunkardy when he nightly boozes in fome bar room over a mug of flip , when he ctmftantly lifts to his mouth that cup “ whose very ingredient is a devilf* if he reverences himfelf ? .1 would ajk the wanderer from the jweet and holy wedlock's bedy when he jpends his money , bis Jirengtb, and his confiitution upon Jlrange womeny if he reverences himfelf. I would ask the maiden jujl blooming into life 3 when floe hears with patience the coarse jejly or the injidicus entendre 3 whether jhe reverences herfelf ? 1 would ask the lawyer , when with artful cunning and low de ceity he cajoles his client into hope lejs lawJuit —if he reverences him jelf P I would ajk the chrifiiar.y when for faking the heavenly precepts of his majter, forgetting charity and fotfaking mercy , he hears and tells tales of flandery or dooms to per dition his mistaken neighbor , if he reverences himfelf ? I would ajk the hufbandy who inflead of cberijhing with fondcfl care the wife of his bojom, with unkindtiefsy moroseness and fever i tjy annihilates the Jweet concord of domejlic love } if he reverences himfelf ?

The operator Mr. CJrant hav ing c bferved the eyes of his pa ti nt anu dccl ued to his friends and relations it was highly pro bable he iliould be able to re- move the obdacle which pre vented the tife of his fight ; all his acquaintances, either out of regard or curiosity, assembled on the occasion. The Rev. Mr. Cafwell, minider of the place, desired the company, in case the operation fhouid suc ceed to keep quiet, and fuffer the young man to make his own observations, without the direc tion of any thing he had receiv ed by his other senses, or the opportunity of discovering his friends by their voices. Among’ others, his mother, his brothers and lifters, and a young lady for whom he had a passion, were present. The operation had the wiftied for luccefs. When the patient fird received the dawn of light, there appeared such an extacy in his action, that he seemed rea dy to swoon away in the furpiife of joy and wonder. I'he sur geon stood before him with his instruments in his hands. The young man observed him from head to foot: after which, he surveyed himfelf as carefully, and seemed to compare him to himfelf; and, observing both their hands, feemeefto think they were exactly alike, except the instruments, which he*took for parts of his hands. When he had continued in this amaze ment fome time, his mother could no ionger bear the agita tions of so many paflions as thronged upon her, but fell upon his neck, crying out, My ion ! my for. ! The youth knew her voice, and could speak no more than, Oh me ! are you my mo ther ? and fainted. The *hoie room, you will easily conceive, were very affeddonately em ployed in recovering him ; but above all, the young gentlewo man who loved him, and wl ora he lived, shrieked in theloudeft manner, T hat voice seemed to have a ludden efFctft upon him as he recovered, and he Hie wed a double curiosity in observing her as she fpokc and called to him j till at lafthe broke out, what has been done to me ? Whither am I carried ? Is all this about me the thing I have so often heard of ? Is this the light? Is this feeing? Were I you always thus happy, when you laid you were glad to let each other? Where is Tom, who uted to lead me : But I could now me tfunks go any where without him. He offered to move but seemed afraid of i every thing around him. When they saw his difficulty, they told him, till he became better ac quainted with his new being, he must let the servant ftili lead I him. The boy was called for, and presented to him. Mr. Caf well asked him, what fort cf thing he took Tom to be, be fore he had leen him. He an iwered, he believed there was not so much of him as himfelfj but he fancied him the iame fort of creature. The noise of this sudden change made all ihe neighborhood throng to the place where he was. As he saw the croud thickning, lie desired Mi. Cal well to tell him how many there were in all to be leen. The gentleman, finding, anlwcred him, that it would be very proper for him to return to his hue carnation* and hi. eyes to be covered, til! they had received strength; for he might remember well enough that by degrees he had by little and little come to the ftrengh he had at present in his ability of walking and moving ; and that it was the fame thing with his eyes, which lie said, would loft the power of continuing to him that transport he was in, except he would be contented to lay aside the ule of them, till they were strong enough to’ bear the light, without so much feeling as lie knew he underwent at present. With much reluc tance he was ore vailed on to have his eyes bound, in which condition they kept him in a dark room, till it was proper to let die organ receive its objc&s without farther precaution. Af ter fome days it was thought fit to unbind his head, and the young iady whom he loved was inftrudted to open his eyes accor dingly, as well to endear herfelf to him hv such a circumfiance, as to moderate his extacies by the persuasion of a voice which had so much power over him as hers ever had. When this be loved young woman began to take the binding of his eyes, she talked to him as follows . < Mr.— , I am now tak ing the binding off ; though, when I Gpnfider what I am doing, I tremble v/ith the apprehenftqn,. that (though 1 have loved you from my very childhood, dark as you were, and though you j had conceived so strong a love \ for me) you find there is filch j a th i g as beauty, which may j c fnaic you into a thousand paf r r 1 ‘ L r . ! lions ot which you are now ig norant, and take you from me forever. But, before I put my fclf to that hazard, tell me in what manner that love, you al ways profefied to me, entered your heart; for its ufuaj admis sion is at the eyes.* The lover answered * Dear ’ Lydia, if I am to left by fight the foit pan tings which I have aiway felt when I heard your voice; if I am no more to dis tinguish the step of her I love, when fire approaches me, but to change that sweet and frequent pleaiure for such an amazement as I knew the iiule time I lately law; or if I am to have any thing befiicie?, which may take from me the sense I have of what appeared mod {dealing to me at that time, (which appari tion it sterns was you) pull out these eves, before they lead me to be ungrateful to you, or un do my felt. I wiffied far them but to lee you; puli them out if they are to make me forget you.” Mammoth Fish. On Tuesday la ft was taken in Shaliop Cove, near the eastern part of (his town, the Tunny y of an enormous laze. It had en tered the Cove, and had been caught upon the Flats, where it labored to find its padage to the sea again, in vain. ‘ Ic agreed perfectly with the deft notion given by Pennant and Cepede, excepting in his lize.

The one taken on Tuesday weighed 925 pounds, was nine feet five inches long, seven feet two inches in its great - est circumference, and 27 inches in its least, near the tail. The tips of the tail firs were .3 feet apart. The firft fin on the back had 13 strong spines, which -■could bo concealed in a flit upon the back.

This natural!ft observes, that the arri val of the Mackarel announces that of the Tunny which pur sues them ; and the Mackarel have been i;i unusual plenty this season. Ihe Tunny fifliery has been very profitable in the Me- fo that this fifhery has been laid to have yielded the lJuke of Medina Sidonia, a reve nue of ducats. The body of the Fish is cut in piece?, broiled and preserved for the market, wirh olive oil and vine gar. Cepede lays, from an an cient writer, that formerly they laired the Intestines, as well as the [pawns and that this use is ftili continued in several places,. particularly In Greece* The videos this fifh exc.ted ‘great attention, as it is the firft which has been leen here in the present generation.
