If a rational man reads an excel-1
lent, author with application, lie shall
find himself extremely improved,
and, perhaps, insensibly led to imitate
(hat anthor*B perfections, although,
in a little time, he should not remem

give the same turn to our thoughts
and way of reasoning, that good and

conversation; without either loading
our memories, or making ns even
sensible of the change.
Society is the cement of human
nature; by mutual ’kindrteses it soft
ens asperity and by fttfuilation it pro
motes virtue. The ‘heart of man,
created for delight, would pine in
lassitude, or grow sour, with misan
thropy, if we were deprived of social
intercourse. •Difr primeval parent

flow amiable the picture presented
by sensibility in distress!—bow ami
able, though full of anguish. View
it at the bed of a dying friend—Be
bold it committing the remains of
that friend to the silent recess of the
tomb. The affections bound, lacerat
ed and bleeding, lie at the foot of
death; the heart surcharged with an
guisb, appears ready to burst its
bauds, while the strength and support
of the whole man seem to min
gle with the descending clay,
and leave him weak, helpless and
overcome—What callous heart but
pays to this the tribute of sympathy:
Wh at stoic but involuntarily antici
pates the failing tear! What bosom
echoes not the piercing SJgM Can
friendship behold it without solicitude
as well as anguish: Frail as the
summer bow, man bears not reiter
ated blasts in vain.—lie bends even
to the first stroke of adversity—the
second finds less strength to combat;
another and another comes, and soon
seek iiis place in vain.
Bnt has distress no consolation? the
wounded heart no solace? Behold
emanating from Heaven, the merci
ful daughter of Divinity—her conn,
tenance beaming consolation—see
her support the sinking sufferer; she
binds up his broken wounds and
infuses into bis soul a sweet.tranquili
ty—cheerfulness once more'lights up
its ray—the eye of faith rests on
scenes beyond the shadoVvy grave;
while the renowned heart lifts it3 de
vout asperations to the throne of
God, and with pious hope ejaculates,
“Thy will be done.”
Epitaph upon a very lovely hoy.
Bright as the gems the wealthy orients
boast,
Sweet as the odours of their spicey
coast,
A pearly dew-drop, see some flow‘r a
dorn,
And grace with all its pride the p.sing
morn;
But soon the sun emits a fiercer ray,
And the fair fabrick rushes to decay;
Low in the dust the beautious ruirf lies,
While the pure vapoUr Seeks its native
skies,
A fate like this to the sweet youth was
Who^ sparkbd, bloom‘d, and was exhalhl

Jertisale u, history tells us, was
destroyed by Titus Vespasian, the
Homan genera!, in the yc:*‘ of out*
Lord 79. This famous city is so
frequently mentioned, both in the*
scriptures and profane history, that
a proper pronuuciatioon of it among
those Who
“Along the cool sequester'd vale of life
‘‘Pursue tle ooisleSs tenor of their way”
is very desirable. Tims, we hear
the word prouounced, Je-roo% turn by
some, and Ji-rdos lum, by others.
It should be pronounced Jc ru-sa lem,
making four distinct syllables instead
of three, and the $ should not be
sounded like . If 1 am not much
mistaken, the two first pronunciations
of this word are common, seven among
men who make Considerable prctcn>
lions to scholarship. It is (rue, there
is a pronunciation allowable in collo
quial language,which is not that of (he
consist) reader or speaker. But
what ear is not disgusted with the
clumsy guttural sound Je roo-zlnm?
yet uncouth as this sound is, it is not
only heard in reading the Bible
round the family fire-side; but it often
obtrudes itself into (lie pulpit, and is
hoard among the mellow tones that
drop from the lips of Goths servant.

We have ibis day commenced the
Address to the Jacks on Committee

interest which it will excite will ex
cuse tlic length of the production.

perfectly thread-bare. The docu

A letter from Washington remarks,
that ‘lt will astlionish and confound
both parties, Ibid.
It is necessary that the sons of
freedom should he the sons of knowl
edge. And how is this to be ticcom
plished? How are they to obtain a
knowledge of passing events, with
out reading newspapers ?—There
is no alternative: they must read
newspapers, or otherwise be the
sport of the winds-j Are newspapers
then the only Vehicles of Correct
information? We answer, they arc the
only vehicles of general informtion,
and if not always perfectly corret,
are not therefore to he rejected, any
more than hank hills are to be thrown
away because some of them are spu
rious. In fact, the obliquities of the
press cannot long mislead, where
discussion is free, and where opposing
interests, if nothing else, will ulti
mately developo truth.
Not long ago we overheard tw 7 o
citizens of this proud republic con

says the other, ‘I rather think I shall
go for Eustis— he’s done pretty well,
so far, and I don’t think it worth a
while to turn him out so longjas he be
haves well.’ Why as to that-are mat
