1 L A NATIONAL REBUKE. An extract from a Sermon occasioned by the death of William Henry Ha^riscm, the late President of the United Slates, hy the Rev. Henry A. Boardman?Philadelphia. .,Tho reasons on which the late afflictive dispensation was founded, are concealed in the depths of the Divine infinitude, and we cannot presume to specify them without violating the modesty proper to frentures of such limited and enfeebled faculties. *4 His wav is in the sea, his paths in the great waters, and his footsteps are not known." But if we retrace the dealings of Providence with us lor the last few vears. we cannot err, in viewing this event as a national rebuke and a call to J deep humiliation for our sins Had the President's death been preceded bv no other general calamity, wo could not with the same confidence have regarded it as a mark of the Divine displeasure. But the frown of God had rested upon the land from the commencement of our financial embarrassments ~~ ~ fir i 1 ^^4. until the present day. we nave presem- j ed during this period a spectacle perfectly j anomalous, o the history of the civilized world?the spectacle of a great nation impoverished, dispirited, crushed, while possessing an a/tluence of all the e!enicnts of prosperity. We are poor in the midst of plenty?beggared in the midst of wealth?resembling herein the | miserable slaves who live in squalid wretchedness among the diamonds of the Peruvian mines. With no famine to blight our tields, no pestilence to ravage our cities, no war (except a humiliating and destructive contest with the remnant | of an Indian tribe.) to consume our re- J sources, we are a paralysed people. As j though a majestic forest tree should he I shivered by lightning in a cloudless day, ( an unseen hand has smitten us to the , earth, at the moment when every thing j aronn l and before us seemed to DetoKcn unparalleiled opulence and renown. Nay, tho very elements of our strength have become the chief agents in overwhelming , us, and the theatres on which our boasted pomp and splendor were mainly displayed, : are the scenes of our deepest abasement. Ruin stalks through our great centres of J business; and sovereign States of the con. j federacy, submit to have the stigma of) bankruptcy upon them by petty European t bankers. And what course Has the nation pursued under this unprecedented combination of circumstances? That the affliction has been felt?keenly and widely felt, no one will deny. Thut there has i been abundant speculation as to its j causes, and ample crimination and re- j crimination among the partisans of con- ! dieting political and financial theories, - is equally apparent. The people have j sought to the statesman?to the political economist?to the financier?-to explain the mystery, and to devise a remedy. | They have tried. And thus far they j have tried in vain. Legislation is ] baffled and confounded; and every effort ' to relieve the country from its difficulties, ) has only enlarged and aggravated them, j But among all the expedients relied upon to solve and remove these troubles, there is one that has not been tested.? Though we call ourselves a Christian na. tion, there has been no general devout, and penitent acknowledgement of the Providence of God in fhese events. In their solicitude to discover second causes, men have seemed to forget that there was a first cause. In the zeal of opposing parties to fasten the odium of our disasters upon each other, the momentous truth j has been lost sight of, that all parties have . ? 1 riml and were eouallv ! ?V7 HIKU ? _ ^ bound, as their first duty, to humble themselves before him, and seek forgive, ness. The Executive authorities of the Suites have, with very few exceptions, sent forth no call to humiliation and re*, pentance under our reverses. The fin. \ ger of God, though almost us palpable as I it was on the wall of Belshazzar's palace, has been rarely recognised in the pro. j tructed discussions to which the theme has given rise, in our legislative hails. And whatever may have been the case as regards the Christian portion of our j population, there have been no manifes.! tations of sorrow, no satifactory evidences ; of reformation, on the part of the people 1 -1 mt'ini* with hnrlf. ' as a nony. msicau w* wi mg, , sliding Israel, " Come, and let us return j unto the Lord; for he hath torn, and he 1 will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up:*' we have, as a nation practically denied his sovereignty, and impiously resolved to adhere to our former practices. Is not money still our idol ? . Is not tne Sabbath still grossly desecrated , ?desecrated by law?desecrated by char- j tered companies?desecrated by millions j of Sunday-travellers?desecrated in re-! peated instances, even since the hand of <*od has been upon us, by Congress itfltdf? Are not frauds, and dishonesties, and homicides increasing? Is not the) moral sense of the nation blunted, and the standard of mercantile integrity dete-1 riorated, and a lax conscientiousness, and a diminished sensibility to the delicate requisitions ofscripturul morality, diffused through the land. And if these things be so?if we have slighted our past chastisements, and only "rebelled more and more" under the Di. vine reproofs, could we expect to escape without further inflictions? Can we mistake in intepreting the blow which has now fallen as a judgment from God? This blow is even more solemn than those which have preceded it It falls not upon a distinguished citizen merely? not upon a party?but upcn the nation. The head of the people is laid low?struck down from the pinnacle of his glory, almost before the land had ceased to resound with the rejoicings occasioned by his elevation. The sorrow which pervades &|] classes of society, and which partakes more'of the fervour of private grief, than ??fc?mni.'j W?B? ?H??o? of the formality common to seasons of j public mourning* attests how deeply be ; was enshrined in the affections of the people, and how unfeignedly they deplore j their great bereavement. It is manifest.,I then, thai the stroke was designed to make us feel. God had smitten us in a tender point before. Our reigning passion?a passion with which the nation was well j nigh frantic?was the love of money; and j at this very lust of accumulation, have J the chastisements of the last four years j been specifically levelled. Within the past few months even this absorbing pas. sion had, for the time,, given place to an almost idolatrous devotiQn to the late President. Has the shaft which was j commissioned to speed its way to his heart no voice of warning, then for us? " Smit- ten friends," (it has been said by a Christian poet) 44 Are Angel* sent on errand* full of love, For us they languish, and for us they die." May it not be so in the case of our beloved President? Is it not.for our sake* 1 ?(for our sins, perhaps)?that he has , L ' 1 4 fK:en ra>ten ttvm V : .-11MI " Shall h* languish. shill he die, in vain ?" ! Our former rebukes were disregarded. 1 i ' We would not see the hand of God when i he swept away our wealth, and blasted . the proud fabric of our prosperity. Is ' this judgment also to leave us as it found ; us, a torn and broken, still a proud, grasp. | ing, obdurate, ungodly people? Are we j to stand a widowed nation, around the | grave of Harrison, and mingle our tears ! over the good old soldier's dust, without I feeling that God has a controversy with i us? Will our rulers and magistrates now ; bow down before the Most High, arid rev. j ercntly acknowledge his sovereignty? J Will the nation now "put away their sins j by righteousness" and their iniquities by ' turning unto God ? These are questions of unutterable so- ' lemnity to us as Christians and as A men- j can citizens. May a merciful Provi. i dence enable us, and our countrymen j generally, to ponder the consequences j they involve, with a seriousness befitting 1 the sad occasion which has brought them j before us. For Omnipotence has other I means in reserve for vindicating his prerogatives; and who will venture to anticipate the severity and extent of the infliction with which he may next visit us, if this chastisement be unheeded ? 8AM SLICK TAMING A SHREW. T w?a down tn the Island a sellin clocks, and who should I meet but John Porter ; well, I traded with him for one part cash, part truck, and produce, and also put off on him that arc hark mill you heerd me axin about, and, it was pretty considersble in the evening afore we finished our trade. I came home along with him, and had the clock in the wagon to fix it up for him, and to show him how to regilate . it. Well, as we neared his house, he be-1 gan to fret and take on dreadful oneasv; savs he, I hope Jane wont be abed, cause if she is, she'll act uglv, I do suppose. I had heerd tell of her afore; how she used to carry a stiff upper lip, and make him and the broomstick well acquainted to- 1 gether; and savs I, why do you put up 1 with her tandrums, I'd make a fair divis. 1 ion of the house with her, if it was me, J I'd take the inside and allocate her the ' outside of it pretty quick, that's a fact.? Well, when we came to the hou.se, there ( was no light in it, and the poor critter, looked so streaked and down in the 1 mouth, J felt proper sorry for him. When 1 he rapped at the door, she called, Who's 1 there? It:a me, dear, savs Porter. You i ah* then vou mnv stav where I 19 ii) ?h?im j , vou be, them as gave you your supper. | mav give you your bed, instead of send- l in you sneakin home at night like a thief, j Said I, in 9 whisper, says I, Leave her to | me, John Porter?jist take the horses up to the barn, and see after them, and I'll manage her for you, I'M make her us sweet as sugary candy, never fear. The j barn you see is a good piece off to the eastward of the house; and as soon as he was cleverly out of hearin. says I, a imitatin of his voice to the life, Do let me in, Jane, says I. that's a dear critter, I've 1 brought you home some things you'll like, I I know. Well, she was an awful jealous j critter; says she, Take 'em to her you | spent the evening with, I don't want you 1 nor your presents neither. After a good! 1 1 e ? -" I ofrvi-,/4 nn Ihn trtfVior fnrlt ! G6HI OI COUAlll & oiwu v.i ...V .. j and began to threaten to break the door i down: says I, You old uhhansuni looking j sinner, you vinegar cruet you, o!*tn the door this minit, or I'll smash it right in. That grigged her properly, it made her | very wrathy (for nothin sets up a woman's spunk like calling her ugly, she gets her ' back right up like a cat when a strange j dog comes near her; she's all eyes, claws | and bristles.) . j t heerd her bounce right out of bed, and j she came to the door as she was, ondrcss- j ed, and onbolted it; and as I entered it j she fetched me a box right across mv cheek with the back of her hand,' that made it tingle again. I'll teach you to call names agin says she, you varmint. It was iist what I wanted; I pushed the door too with my foot and seizin her hy the arm with one hand, I quilted her with the horsewhip real handsum with the other. At first she roared like rnad ; I'll give you the ten commandments, says she, (meaning her ten claws,) I'll pay you for this, you cowardly villian, to strike a woman. How dare you lift your hand John Porter, to your lawful wife, and so on; all the time running round and round, like a colt that's breakin, with the mouth in bit, rarein kickin, and plungin like statice. Then she began to give in. Says she, I beg pardon, on my knees I 5eg pardon?don't murder me, for Heaven's sake,?don't, dear John, don't murder your poor wife, that's a dear, I'll do as you bid me I promise to behave well, upon my honor I do?oh I dear John, do forgive me, do dear. When I had her properly brought too, for havin nothin on but a thin under garment every crack of the' whip told like a notch on a baker's taltyj savs I, Take that as a taste of what you'll catch. Now go and dress yourself, and get supper for me and a stranger I have brought home along with me and be quick, for I vow I'll be master in mv own house. She moaned like n dog hit with a stone, half whine half yelp, dear dear savs she, If I aint all covered over with welts as big as my finger, I do believe I'm flayed alive: and she boohooed right out like any thing. I guess, said I, you've got 'em where folks wont see 'cm, any how, and I calculate you won't be over forrard to show 'em where they be. But come, says I, be stirrin, or I'll quilt you agin as sure as you're alive?I'll tan your hide for you, you may depend, you old ungainly tempered crittor you. When I went to the barn, says I* John Porter your wife made right at me, like one ravin distracted mad, when I opened the door thinkm it was you; and I was obliged to give her a crack or two of the cowskin to get clear of her. It has effected a cure completely; now foller it up, a*jd don't let on for your life it warn't von that d'd it, and you'll be master once mo-e in year own house. She's all dociiity just now, keep her so. As we returned we saw a lignt in the keepin room, the fire was blazon up cheerfulsomo, and Marm Porter was movin about as brisk as parched peas, though as silent as dumb* and our supper was ready in no time. If you had seen how she stared at Porter, it would have made you snicker. She couldn't credit her eyes. He warn't drunk and he warn't crazy, but there he solas peeked and mcechin as you please. She seemed all struck up of a heap at this rebellion. The next day when I was about staltin, I advised himjjto act like a man and keep the weather gage now he had it and all would be well; but the poor critter only held on a day or two, she soon got the upper hand of him, and made him confess all,- and by all accounts he leads a worse life now than ever. I put that are on him just now to try him, and I see its gone goose with him; the jig is up with him, she'll soon call him with a whistle like a doir. I often think of the hornpipe she danced there in the dark along with me to the music of my whip; she touched it of}* in great style, that's a fact. I shall mind that go one while, I promise you, it was actually equal to a play at old Bowry. You may depend Squire, the only way to tame a shrew, is by the cowskin. Grandfather Slick was raised all along the coast of Kent in Old England, and he used to say there was an old saying there, which, I expect, is not far ofTthe mark : A woman, a dog, a walnut tree. The cnofe you lick 'em the better they be.' Early Marriage-?The following is the opinion of Dr. Franklin, on this subject, as expressed in a letter to his friend John Alleyne: Dear Jack?You desire, you say, my impartial thougnts on the subject, of an 1.. ?_?: k.f i.'.ir nf an anoivnr In enriv iunrriitgc, ?-?_ "nj ?/ ???? . ? the numberless objections which have been marie by numerous persons to your own. You may remember when you consulted me on the occasion, that I thought youth on both sides to be no objection. Indeed, from the marriages which have fallen under my observation, [am rather inclined'to think that early ones stand the best chance for happiness. The tempers and habits of the young are not yet become so stiff and uncomplying us when more advanced in life ; they form more easily to each other, and hence many occasions of disgust are removed. And if youth has less of that prudence which is necessary to manage a family, yet the parents nnd elder friends of young married persons are generally at hand, to afford their advice, which amply supplies that detect; and by earlv marriage youth is sooner formed to regular useful life; and possibly some of those accidents or connection that might have injured the constitutions or reputation, or both, are thereby happily prevented. Particular circumstances of particular persons may possibly sometimes make it prudent to delay .entering into that state.; hut in general, when nature has rendered our bodies fit for it, the presumption is in nature's favor, that she has Dot judged amiss in making us desire it. Late marriages are often attended, too, with this further inconvenience, that there is not saiii,. rhnne that the nnrorits shall I live to see their offspring educated. Lato children, say9 the Spanish proverb, are early orphans; a melancholy reflection to those whose case it may be !?With us in America, marriages are generaly in the morning of life; our children are therefore educated and settled in the world by noon ; and thus our business being done, we have an afternoon and evening of cheerful leisure to ourselves, such as our friend at present enjoys. In fine, I am glad you are married, and congratulate you most cordially upon it. You are now in the way of becoming a useful citizen, and you have escaped the unnatural state of celibacy for life, the fate of many who never intended it, but who having too long postponed the change of their condition, find at length that it is too late 10 mum oj it , tutu live all their lives in a situation that greatly lessens a man's value. An ocid volume of a set of books, bears not the value of its proportion to the set. What think you of the odd half of a pair of scissors ? it can't well cut any?it may possible serve to scrape a trencher. Pray make my compliments and best wishes acceptable to your bride. I am old and heavy, or I .should ere this have presented them in person. I shall make but small use of the old man's privilege, that of giving advice to younger friends. Treat your wife always with respect; it will procure respect to you, not from her only, but from all that observe it. Never use a slighting expression to her, even in jest; for slights in jest, after frequent bandyings, are apt to end in angry earn i est. Be studious in fyour profession and you will be learned. Be indus i frious and frugal, and you will b< rich. Bo sober and temparate, and yoi will be healthy. Be in general virtuous and you will be happv. At least yoi will by such conduct, stand the bes chance for such consequences- I pr*} God to bless you both! being ever you ' affectionate friend. B. F. SWCABIXG. Whatever fortune may be made by per jury, I believe there never was a man wh< made a fortune by common swearing. I often happens that men pay for swearing hut it seldom happens that they are paii for it. It is not easy to pe?ceive wha honor or credit is connected with it. Doe. any man receive promotion because he ii a notable blusterer ? Or is any man ad I A /liMniHr I'.A.IA itfA k A VftHU'.'U IU i;cun ll?c lie IB CApCI a' profane swearing? Never. Low mus be I he character which such impertinence j will exalt; high must be the charactei which such imperiinence will not degrade Inexcusable, therefore, must the practice which has neither reason nor passion It support it. The drunkard has his cupsj the letcher, his mistress ; the satirist h:i revenge ; the ambitious man, his prefer ments; the rniser, his gold ; but the com mon swearer has nothing ; he is a fool a large, sells his soul for nought, and drudgei iti the service of the devil gratis. Swear ing is void of ail plea ; it is not the native offspring of the soul, not interwoveo with the texture of the body; nor anyhow al< lied to our frame. For, asTillotson ex presses it, " though some men pour oui oaths es if they were natural, yet no mar was ever born of a swearing constitution.' But it is a custom, a low and a paltr) custom, picked up hy low and paltry spir its who have no sense of honor, no regarc to decency, but are forced to substitute some rhapsody of nonsense to supply the vacancy of good sense. Hence the silli< | ness of the practice can only be equallet by the silliness of the practice can onlj be equalled by the silliness of those wh< adopt it.?Lamont. Whiskey and the Monkey.
