FOR THE MISSIONARY.
THE HOUSE OF GOD.
O! if upon the earth there be
One place unmeet for worldly care ;
One place whence human pride should flee,
That place must be the House of Prayer.
O, dare the Slave of Gold intrude,
And schemes of griping avarice plod ;
Or o’er his gains and losses brood
Within the terqple of his God!
©r will Ambition venture there
A suppliaut at the Eternal Throne,
And bend a stubborn knee in prayer,
Intent on earthly power alone.’
Dare Levity, with smiling face,
Within the sacred purlieu come,
To.trifle with the God of grace,
And slight the offers of his Son !
Will Fashion’s giddy vot’ry, deck’d
In toy’s by pride and folly wrought,
Go fluttering there, and ne’er reflect
That God will judge each idle thought?
Tell me, ye gay and youthful throng
Who on the hallow’d day of rest,
To God’s own temple haste along
In fashion’s tinsel vesture drest—
O, tell me, as ye kneel around
Jehovah’s sacred altar there, —
To Him is each affection bound
Who hears the humble suppliant's prayer ?
Forget not Life’s swift passing day,
‘The little hour to mortals given,
Nor madly sport the soul away,
E’en at the very “ gate of heaven.”
LAURA.
THE PEASANT AND HIS WIFE.
A DC FT.
Translated from the Dutch.
HE.
The long, long day, again has pass'd
In sorrow and distress:
I strive my host—but strive in vain,
I labour hard—but still remain
Poor, ar.d in wretchedness.
SHE.
Nay, we have health—you love your wife—
And she returns its fire ;
Wart still is absent from our cot,
God gives us bread to soothe our lot,
What more can you desire ?
HE.
I wish'd io earn a little sum,
My dearest wife, for thee;
I wish’d, by toiling day and night.
To gain some wealth that might-requite
Thy fond fidelity.
SHE.
No wealth repays fidelity,
Nor gold, nor monarch’s crown ,
My hearty which doth to the incline,
Finds all its love repaid by thine,
And smiles at fortune's frowu.
HE.
But ah! to see live in want,
It fills my soul with care ;
That you so noble, just and good,
Must slave and toil for daily food ;
That drives me to despair.
’ SHE.
I gaily’ work (God knows my heart)
Contented at your side;
More joys than wealth can give, 1 prove,
To share thy sorrows and thv love
Thy faithful heart’s my pride.
HE.
But w ho, when I am snatch’d from thee,
Will hush thy trembling sighs ?
And when our babe shall weeping say,
0 ! mother, give me bread. 1 pray !” 1
Who, then, will, heed its cries ?
SIIE.
God! who the worm and sparrow shields,
Man in his need can aid ;
He’ll be my comfort w hen thou’U fled—
The orphan’s sire will give him bread—
O! be his will obey’d!
liE.
Wife of my heart, how great artthon !
Thy Jove is all ray weal;
1 feel so proud of one like thee—
Thy love and thy fidelity
Inspire me with fresh zeal.
MISCELLANY.
NUPTIVL FONDNESS.
From a late English Publication.
“ The English love their wives with
much passion : the Hollanders with much
prudence. The English, when they give
their hands, frequently give their hearts ;
the Dutch, give the hand hut keep the
heart wisely in their possession. The Eng
lish love with violence and expect love in
return; the Dutch are satisfied with the i
slightest acknowledgments, for they give !
little away. The English expend many of
the matrimonial comforts in the first year;
the Dutch frugally husband out their pleas
ures, and are always constant, because they
are always indifferent.
“ There seems very little difference be
tween a Dutch bridegroom and a Ducth
husband: both- are equally possessed of
the same cool unexpecting serenity ; they
see neither elysium nor paradise behind
the curtain ; and yiffrmo is not more a god
dess on the wedding night, than after twen
ty years’ matrimonial acquaintance. On
the other hand, many of the English mar
ry in order to keep one happy month in
their lives ; they seem incapable of looking
beyond that period ; they unite in hopes of
finding rapture, and, disappointed in that,
disdain even to accept of happiness. From
hence we see open hatred ensue; or,
what is worse, concealed disgust, under
the appearance of folsome endearment.
Much formality, great civility, and studied
compliments exhibited in publick, cross
looks, sullen silence, or open recrimination,
fill up tlreir hour3 of private entertainment.
“ Hence I am falight, whenever 1 see a
new married couple more than ordinarily
fond before faces, to consider them a? at
tempting to impose upon the company or
themselves; either hating each other heart
ily, or consuming that stock of love in the
beginning of their course, which should
serve them through the whole journey.
Neither side should expect those instances
oQsindness, which are inconsistent with
true freedom or happiness to bestow.
Love, when founded in the heart, will show
itself in a thousand unpremeditated sallies
of fondness; but every cool deliberate ex
hibition of the passion, only argues little
understanding, or great insincerity.
“ Os nil nations the Rusians behave the
most wisely rn the circumstance of jealousy.
The wife promises her husband never to
let him see her transgressions; arid he as
punctually promises, whenever she is de
tected, without the least anger, to beat her
without mercy ; so they both know what
* each has to expect. The lady transgres
! ses, i“ beaten, taken again into favour, and
I all goes on as before. When a Russian
I young lady is to be married, her father,
with a cudgel in his hand, asks the bride
groom, whether he chuses this virgin for
his bride ? to which the other replies in
the nffinnative. Upon which the father,
turning the lady three times andgiv
ing her three strokes with the cudgel, on
I the back, * my dear,’ cries he, ‘ these are
the last blows you are ever to receive
from your tender father; 1 resign my’ au
thority and my cudgel to your husband;
he knows better than me the use of either.’
The bridegroom knows decorum too well
to accept of the cudgel stupidly ; he there
fore assures the father, that the lady will
never want it, and that he would not for
the world make any use of it. But the
father, who knows what the lady might
want better than he did, insists upon bis
acceptance. Upon this there follows a
scene of Russian politeness, while one of
fers and the other refuses the cudgel.
The whole, however, ends with the bride
groom’s taking it, upon which the lady
drops a courtesy in token of obedience, and
the ceremony proceeds as usual.
“ The nuptial ceremonies of the Rus
sians are very singular. When the parents
have agreed upon the match, (though the
parties have never seen each other,) the
bride is critically examined hy a number
of womeri, in order to discover if she has
any bodily defect, and, if any, to remedy
it if possible. The bride, on her wedding
day is crowned with a garland of worm
wood, implying the bitterness of the mar
ried state.—When the priest has tied the
nuptial knot at the altar, the clerk or sex
ton sprinkles on her head a handful of hops,
wishing she may be as fruitful as that plant.
She is muffled up and led home by a cer
tain number of old women, the priest car
rying the cross before, while one of his
subalterns, clad in a rough goatskin, prays
all the way that she may have as many
children as there are hairs on his garment.
The new married couple, being seated at
table, are presented with bread and salt,
whilst a chorus of boys and girls sing the
epithalamium, which is always grossly ob
scene.” ■

cajust published.
PAPAL INDULGENCES.
At Margarita our author had some curi
ous adventures, and amongst the rest he’
happened to visit a gambling house, where !
he did not remain long before a priest was
brought to the door in a sedan chair, and
on being assisted to the table, for he suffer
ed from a fit of the gout, the reverend fa
her eat down to play. On farther inquiry,
M. Lavaysse ascertained that the clerical
visiter was the principal officer of the In
quithion. and the most inveterate gamester j
on the island ! Having risen at sis o’clock,
the inquisitor told his friends that he was!
just going to preach his Lent sermon, and, 1
therefore, begged (heir attendance. That
the author not only accepted the invitation,
but took notes of the discourse, may be in
ferred from the following specimen, which
he gives to elucidate the state of religious
instruction at Margarita:
“ When any of ye, mv brethren becomes
sick, be hastens to send for a physician, and
spares no expense to obs-. in relief from his
sufferings, and effectuate his cure. And
what are corporeal sufferings of the most
painful kind, which we experience in this
world, in comparison with the dreadful tor
ments by which souls detained in purgatory
are afflicted ? Nothing! my brethren, noth
ing! The inspired writers of the holy Ro
man church assure us, that the torments
which are suffered in (hat place of expia
tion and purification, are, in every respect,
equal to those of hell; with this sole differ
ence, that in purgatory, angels are the ex-1
ecutioners of divine vengeance, and the j
Souls detained there, feel a certainty that
their sufferings will have an end.”
The preacher next proceeds to ‘ :pati- i
ate on the advantage to be derived mtan
the purchase, of indulgences, by which the
gates of purgatory and paradise may be
opened at will, and then adds—
“ The church declares to you by my
mouth, that the pains of purgatory are not
infprieur to those of hell, and that duration
alone makes the difference. I shall sketch
to you, my brethren, the picture of those
sufferings. There are felt at the same
time the extremes of heat and cold ; that
is to say, that whilst one has, for instance,
the feet and hands frozen, the other parts
of the body are a prey to the devouring
fire. Horrible serpents introduce them
selves into the bowels and entrails of tome,
whilst their neighbours are covered with
nauseous reptiles which suck their blood,
and disgusting toads eject their scum and
urine on the faces of others! they
are also tormented with the most ex-
I cruciating hunger and thirst I! I Such
brethren, are (he frightful torments expe
rienced by those of your relations and
friends now there; such is also the late that
awaits almost all of you; and 1 venture to
say all, unless 1 can suppose that you pos
sess the purity and innocence of angels at
the moment your souls shall he separated
from your bodies.”
The author’s account of the sale of hulls
and indulgences which follows, is one ol
the most curious, and we may add interes
ting, in his book. Wo regret that want of
room prevents us from dwelling on this
subject as its importance merits, but if any
thing can prove the necessity of a change in
the condition of these valuable colonies,
surely what the author states here, is amply
sufficient to do so. According to his ac
count, it appears that a very considerable
revenue is derived from the sale of these
bulls, viz. that of the living-, (lie dead',- ol
while meals m.ul eggs ; of composition , and
cruratia.
In addition to the bull of the living, ena
bling the purchaser to obtain whatever fa
vour he requires from heaven, it is said to
absolve him from the most atrocious crimes
in the whole catalogue cf human vices, in
cluding murder, atheism, sacrilege, &c.
The prices affixed to these bails are as
follows:
“ For viceroys, captains-general, their
wives, nud each for their full-grown chil
dren, fifteen dollars.
“ For bishops, inquisitors, abbots, priors,
canons, dukes, marquises, ‘counts and oth
er noblcmeu ; for members of theauden
cia, general officers, colonels, corregidors,
alcaldes, &c.; as also persons having a cap
ital of twelve thousand dollars; even for
persons who having only a capital of 12
hundred dollars,are yet alcaldes or mayors
of villages, three dollars.
, “ The bull of the living costs one dollar
and a half to each person having a capital
ot six thousand dollars, without any civil or
military employment.
“ The poor, who desire to avail them
selves of the advantages attached to this
hull, may obtain it at the moderate price
of two reals aud a half, about one shilling.”
FRQM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
REVOLUTIONARY INCIDENTS.
It is pleasant to look back on the days that are
past, cirourosiapces of which are frequently
brought to our recollection by accident. The
presence of the veteran Commodore Tucker in
this city has procured us the letter of which we
have been obliged by the following copy :
Quincy, January 18, 1816.
Sir: Samuel Tucker, Esq. a Member of our!
Massachusetts Legislature, has a petition to gov- i
eminent for justice or customary favour to merito-1
rious officers, which will be explained before the I
proper judges. 1 cannot refuse his request to •
certify what 1 know of his character and history.
My acquaintance with him commenced early in 1
1776, when he was first appointed to a command
in the navy, in which he served with reputation
and wdlbout reproach, to the end of the war in
1783.
His biography would make a conspicuous fig
ure, even at this day, in the naval annals of the
Jdnited States. I can l: particular on!)’ in one
instance. In 1778 he was ordered to France in
the Boston He sailed in February, and
soon fell in with three British frigates sent from
Rhode Island expressly to intercept him. Fight -
,ing of one against three was out of the question.
In a chace of three days and three nights, he baf
fled all the inventions, and defeated all the ma
noeuvres of the enemy, and was separated from
him at last, in the Gulph stream, by a furious
hurri’ one, w rich for three days more threatened
him with immediate destruction. Nor was thi.a
his last danger from seas or from enemies. He .
had two other storms, and two other detachments
of British men of war to encounter; one in the
English Channel, aud another in the Bay of Bis
cay. He arrived at Bordeaux in April.
Nothing but vigilance, patiende, and persever
ance, added to consummate nautical skill, could
have pi (-served that ship through so many dan
gers at that equinoctial season, and such a suc
cession of irresistible enemies.
1 heartily wish Captain Tucker success, arid beg
the favour of you, sir, to communicate to any com
mittee who may be charged with the examina
tion of his application, this letter from your friend
and humble servant, JOHN ADAMS.
lion. Mr. Crowninshie.ld,
Secretary of the Navy of the U. S.
The foregoing is a true copy of the original now
in my possession. MARK L. HILL.
Connected with this letter is an anecdote of
the now venerable writer, which we do not recol
lect to have before seen in print. From the un
affected simplicity with which the letter is writ
ten, it would not appear that Mr. Adams was on
board the vessel commanded by Captain Tucker,
in the cruise of which he speaks ; but this was
the fact. Captain Tucker then commanded the
Boston frigate, and was charged with the impor
tant duty, at that difficult timp, of carrying Mr.
Adams out as ambassador to France. About fif
teen days before their arrival at Bordeaux, the.e
hove in sight a large English -ship, showing a tier
of guns. Tucker immediately held a conversa
tion with Mr. AdanN, assured him he could take,
her, and wished to obtain his consent to run
down for her; this was granted. The Boston
bore down ; Mr. Adams being a non-combatant,
was desired to retire into the cockpit below wa
ter. He descended, at this request, into theca
bin. Tucker returned immediately to his duty,
and in fifteen minutes the Boston was within-hail
of the English ship, which proved to be the Mar
tha, and had been lying too, to meet her enemy.
Upon Tucker’s hailing the British ship, she an
swered by a broadside which shot away a piece
of the mizon yard of the Boston, which fell upon
Tucker's shoulder, and brought him flat on the
deck. This for a moment prevented the order to
return the fire; but,’as he leaped upon the deck
and gained his legs, he found the colours of the
; Martha hauled down ; and, looking forward, ob
served Mr. Adams among the marines , with a
musket in his hand, having privately applied to
the. officer of the marines for a gun, and taken his
! station with them. At this sight Capt. Tucker
became alarmed ; for he was responsible for the
1 safety of Mr. Adams, and, walking up to the Am
bassador, desired to know how he came there ?
i Upon which the other smiled, gave up his guu,
j and went immediately below.

ft| Vtreifying. —Borne literary gentlemen being
mi company lately, and waiting till dinner was
enounced, it was proposed that each ol them
should make a line of English verse, to see what
a motley piece of composition these would make
when pul together. Mr. Home, the author ol
Douglas, commenced :
