DEISM.
There is more true wisd >m to be learn
| ed from the following simple narrative,
than from the writings of all the sceptics
that have flourished from Cain. dOwh to
the days ofoer modern philosopher in pet
ticoats Miss Frances Wright.
ON Jo, my friend Lang, a good deal
has been said about Miss Wright and
her Temple at Reason, I think the
pNiu, simple,but true history of my
self and William affords as good a
j comment on the effect of infidel prin
ciples as any thing I have met with.
If you think it worth publishing it is
at your service. In a short time it
will be forty winters since 1 first land
ed in New York; 1 was then in iny
twentieth year, without a face that I
knew, or a friend to counsel or direct.
On the first sabbath morning after we
i iiided, three young men of our pas
singers called and inquired where I
was going to day. I said, to church;
they answered, we have bpen near ten
weeks confined to the ship, let us now’
walkout and see the country; our
health requires exercise, and we can
go to ehur h another day. I said, as
l ing as I can remember I had gone
t< church with my father every
sabbath of my life, aid when we
parted his last words were “//e
member the Sabbath day They
went to the country; I went to church;
tey spent a few shillings of their wa
ges; I put two one penny corporation
hills in the plate. Some of them were
good mechanics, and got from eight
to ten dollars per week; my branch
was poor, and it was only by close
application i earned five dollars per
week. They continued going in the
country, found loose company, spent
must of thetr week wages, came home
half drunk, sometimes caught by a
thunder storm, spoiled their line
clothes and hats, rose late on Monday ,
morning, bones and head aching, and I
could work but little, all that day. I
went to church, saved my wages, rose
early on Monday morning, my bones
rested, my head sound, and started on
the labors of the week with a lighf
heart and quiet conscience At the
end of the year they could show fine
clothes, and powdered fieads on Sun
day; hut I could show one hundred
dollars piled in the corner of my chest.
They have all been gone long ago;
having lived fast, they died early;
while I, as one consequence of regular
living, not been confined by
sickness for one day in that period
Now, Mr. Deist and Mrs. De;st, you
who purpose to reform the world by
destroying the Bible abolishing the
Sabbath, 1 would ask you who lived
the most comfortable life, they or I?
who were the most useful members in
s <( iety? They died and left their wives
and children beggars. If I die to
night my family have the toul9 and
hands to make themselves independ
ent of the world,*
About three months after I landed
there catne from England into the
shop where I wrought, a man by the
name of William; he had a fine little
woman for a wife, and one or two
young children. He was an excellent
mechanic, and the first, 1 believe, who
manufactured coach spring* in New
York; he wus, by religious profession,
a baptist, and went to the church in
Gold St. Dr. Foster, I believe, was
♦One of the young men of whom I
speak, was a baker; in a fit of intempe*

alone, he lost his balance, tumbled in with
his head buried in dough, and in this sit
uation he was found dead. This Get is
known to scores of his countrymen now
in this city.
then the pastor. Ho coiim.iu u n
---sistent professor, attending church
regularly with his wife and children.
But William was a warm politician; a
democrat ai red hot as the ir >t lie
hammered. He was soon found out
by the radicals of that day. About
this time there ca.ne to ttie city a man
by the name us Palmer, who was oil ti
er born blind nr had lost his sight by
j disease,—This blind leader of the
blind, used to lecture on deism in what
was then called the Assembly Rn. it,
in William Street. William was led
by some of bis new associates into this
dungeon of despair and drunk deep
in their dark and cheerless do* trine.
In a short time he came out a fl tilling
dei ,t, and instead Os going with his
wife and children to church, he led
them to Lmg Island, or the fi Ids in
Jersey, or lie went by hims It, to a low
tavern and harangued on r ,m P (ioes
Age of Reason, to any set of block
heads, who would hear him. II is
children as they grew up, being left to
wander as they pleased, soon associa
ted with bad company, and turned out
worse than good for nothing. He had
commenced business for himself, and
for some time, was in a very thriving
way. Bii* now every thing, was for
got in his zeal for propagating new
principles.
Y*n might find him in every street
and corner, p airing out his new tight;
and so vulgar and brutish was the lan
guage iri which he blasphemed every
tiling which society io general holds
sacred, that, moderate men of any
principle got isgusted, shunned his
company and shop, and his worldly
circumstances began to fall and decay.
As old stiopmates, lie ands have ever
been, and now are, on the most friend
ly terms when we inert; and from the
beginning have 1 expostulated and
warned him of the ruin he was bring
ing on himself nod family in t<is
world, laying the next aside.—Tho*
he could not deny the truth of what I
said, yet he seemed like one who had
gone so far that he was ashamed to
recede. One morning about 10 o'clock
a few weeks ago, he called on me and
‘sked for something to buy his break
fast, as be bad not tasted any (lung
that day. I looked on him with sir
row, almost to crying—Says I, Wil
liam, has it really come to this with
-on? IT said lie had not a cent—a
friend, or child, to help him in the
world. I asked fr his sons nod daugh
ters, by name—they had all gone to
ruin, or were dead. The f>w ld
friends of the William street lilnmina
fi, now that he was poor, knew bi n
not.— I gave him a small sum, and
told him to call on me in his extrimi
ty. Says I, William, there are my
sons and daughters; they are an honor
to their parents, being all useful mem
bers of society. Your children and
mine were brought op neighbors to
one another—what should make them
to differ? He was silent. Says I, I
told you thirty four years ago, your
mad p inciples would beggar yourself,
aud ruin your family. While you
carried your children io the fields, or
left them to wander in the road to des
truction; I carried mine to the church,
where they were not exposed to bad
company; and now they walk in the
ways of wisdom, which are pleasant
ness and peace. I added, you must
now be convinced that religion is the
best thing for this world; and in the
next, they who profess it, will be as
well <ff as you. Bui if the Biole is
true, you may say with the miser, I
was starved 11 this, and damned in
that which is to come.—He confessed
I had the best of the argument, and
