Frit in the Jtlbujiy Jjuily .^Uvirt^er. Notwithstanding many of our brethren of the quil! arc apt to , re- < pine at their lot , and imagine them- i stives the most luckless mortals In existence^ shall we think that for^ a few years past, we have been about as highly favored as any profession in community, or at lca>t if our sub scribers would be prompt in their payment as we in publishing the ppper, wc should be so. When Buoifaparte was dethroned and banished to Elba, many of our editors trembled, lest they should be compelled lolayby their goose - quills. But their blood had >carc e ly Dcconte cool, before he was Jet loose, YTiuch to the teiror of all good people, save the manu factures of newspapers. Though he- made, but a short, tarry in France, yet he Uid out a good year's woak for editors. The com mencement of the year following, found the fraternity moling their nails and their quills for the wane of subjects. ? But luckily j use about this tirhe^ the sun w^s afTlicted with a sore disease, *hich broke out upon his face, much like the ] spotted fever. ? This was truly a fortunate occurrence. All hands went bravely to work, to ascertain the nature of old Mr. Phcebus's* complaint. Priests, Printers, Phi losoj hers arid school boys were to be seen looking at his godship through smoked window glass and tefescopes, for the whole season, and after many marvellous discov eries and \ji$e observations, each succeeded in convincing'thC world Neither knew any thing about it.- ? But with the assistance tf a. lirtle 4ialitkv-?Qine_ house breaking, Jtorse stealing, a few robberies, some murderers, the great drought, ? tod the Princess Charlotte's wed ding, the papers were filled, and the season passed off quite com fortably. louring the present sea son, we have done pretty well thus far. The quid-mines and wonder mongers did indeed complain a lit - tie early in the spring, but they were soon relieved from their dread ful apprehjnsioqs from the appear ance of a numerous army of le ? x ^ south i and in a few v ?ays after* by a host of bugs and Vfire worm* in the north. The ^leaVjr rains in June dispersed these destroyers $ but fortunately -the^President set out U;>on his - tour exactly at this period,? This com pktely engrossed the public atten tion, A grand farc^was acted at Baltimore, which was played off 1 8ft way round** to Saaket's Harbour,? In the * mean time, the dddrtsies filled up the papers * the fftayors and aldermen, and all * the guzzlers and gormandizers cn his. route, ate and drank to a surfeit, while ttejnouths of th j e at a dis tance M^red fir a taste. After the president had 'safely entered the woods, we began to think the fr a ttfwty of editors would for a little out of labor. But our . Again favored us. The president s back was no soon*? ?r tllWltd, than the great snake itiade his appearance * among the Yankees, who appear this season to be j*jna*kabif ftvored with the company of the gfeat folks. At pre%emi nothing is talked of at the FastbOt the snake. Doctors have quit their patients, lawyers their studies, the venders o?uipe & buck ram shut their shops, the carmen their carts, Carpenters their * hand saws, and fishermen their cod-lines,. all to gaze at their " illustrious vis itor/* Whethtv the Boston folks have invited this acquatic gentle men tp a public dinner, or* have^ yet presented him with an address, have not learned. Thus one ti order passeth away, and another cornrth, greatly ro the relief of edi tors, and the infinu? satisfaction of -wonder mongers.

S,_ was cre-J diblv informed at Barcelona, that tliis beautiful vessel had been visited by upwards of eighteen thousand per sons during her. very short stay 6)4 days at that place, and was obliged to leave ihc port sooner than Mr. C otherwise intended, on account of the immense number of peorie who flocked from all quarters to see her. The captain general of the province, Castano?, and staff; in tendant's family ; foreign consul, resident at Barcelona ; many of the nobility ; chief magistrates of the city ; officers of the navy and army ; ladies of the first rank and distinc tion i and ever; friars, were among the number ?*f those whose curiosi ty was attracted by this rare speci men of American taste and genius. ?

One of our carriers being in disposed, hi* son took his place, but not- know | ing the subscribers, he was aidod by ! the dog, who, being accustomed to j the route, trotted on ahead of the boy, and stop pea at the door of each subscriber, where the paper was left, without the lea >t mistake. - i Actional Adyocnte\ Excellency of true Religion . True religion gives an engaging delicacy to our manners, which education or nature may mimic, but I can never attain to. A?en5cofour infirmities and insufficiency malces us modest. A sense of difcitie pre sence makes us decent ani sincere. A sence of our corru|*ion, natural and moiral, makes us liuipblc. A sense o'f the divjne goodness and I iiiercy^ makes us obliging and compassionate* A sense of our im morality, makes us cheerful and happy. True religion is a princi ple of heavenly peace and light within us, which expands it-elf oveV the human frame and condticr, and sheds light and bc-.uty cn all around us. At ease wkhin our selves we cannot give others trouble* when the master i> God, the servant is Godlike, and if our conversation be on heaven, the graces of heaven will dwell on our lips, and shine forth in our actions. Re igif>n where it is sincerely embraced, gives contentment arid patience to the.sick, joy to the penitent, strength to the weak, sight *j the blind, and life jn death itself.
