POETRY. 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.” ■ From the [English] New Monthly Magazine. Extracted From t! Sketches of South Ameri 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.

[Farmers’ Journal. 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 : “ Gad did at first maktvian -upright, but he” ■X celebrated Jiving poet whose turn it was next, added, “ Would surety have continued so, but sin;” Which happy turn met with deserved applause, but the dinner bell forbade the amusement to pro ceed any farther.
