p A NATIONAL REBUKE. An extract from a Sermon occasioned by the death of William Henry Hairison, the late President of the United States, by the Rev. Henry A. Boardman?Philadelphia. rTho 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 pr,>per to Creatures of such limited and enfeebled faculties. 41 His way 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 tor the last < few vears. we cannot err, in viewing this J event as a national rebuke and a call to > < hti initial inn for our sitlS* j ] IHMIVM , Had the President's death been prece- I ded bv no other general calamity, wo I 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 commencepient of our financial embarrassments until the present day. We have present- ' ed during this period a spectacle perfectly anomalous, n the history of the civilized I world?the spectacle of a great nation j impoverished, dispirited, crushed, while ( possessing an affluence of all the e!e- ( ments 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 fields, no pestilence to ravage our cities, no war (except a humiliating j And destructive contest with the remnant j % ( of an Indian tribe.) to consume our re-1 , sources, we are a paralysed people. As ] j though a nnjestic forest tree should be I shivered by lightning in a cloudless day, ! an unseen hand has smitten us to the | earth, at the moment when every thing around and before us seemed to betoken ( unparallelled opulence and renown. Nay, .L L. _ _ I the very elements ot our siren^m imvr i ( become the chief agents in overwhelming [ us, and the theatres on which our boasted j ^ 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 J federacy, submit to have the stigma of1 ^ bankruptcy upon them by petty European t bankers. And what course has the nation pursued under this unprecedented combination of circumstances? That the atflic- ^ tion has been felt?keenly nnd widely > felt, no one will deny. Thut there ha9 I [ been abundant speculation as to its j 8 causes, and ample crimination and re- j j. crimination among the partisans of con- I j flicting political and financial theories, j j. > is equally apparent. The people have | f sought to the statesman?to the political ; j economist?to the financier?to explain j f the mystery, and to devise a remedy. | s They have tried. And thus far they j j have tried in vain. Legislation is } batfied and confounded; and every effort t to relieve the country from its difficulties, has only enlarged and aggravated them, j ?..* amnnir all th? r>xnedients relied ! 7 niuvx^ - - ?, upon to solve and remove these troubles, j( there is one that has not been tested.?j j Though we call ourselves a Christian nation, /here has been no general devout, y and penitent acknowledgement of the Providence of God in fhese events. In j( tht-ir solicitude to discover second causes, j r men have seemed to forget that there was | ^ a first cavirc. In the zeal of opposing par- I t ties to fasten the odium of our disasters j : upon each other, the momentous truth j T has been lost sight of, thnt all parties have r sinned against God, and were equally : 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- , f pentance under our reverses. The fin. i per of God, though almost as palpable as it was on the wall of Belshazzar's palace, , has been rarely recognised in the pro. j. tracted discussions to which the theme | has given rise, in our legislative hails. j And whatever may have been the case ! | as regards the Christian portion of our ; ( population, there have been no manifestations of sorrow, no satifactory evidences j of reformation, on the part of the people as a body. Instead of saying, with back- ' sliding Israel, " Come, and let us return | unto the Lord; for he hath torn, and he ! will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will hind us up:" we have, a? a nation practi- \ cully denied his sovereignty, and impi-1 ously resolved to adhere to our former ; practices. Is not money stili our idol ?: Is not t?ie Sabbath still grossly desecrated ?desecrated by law?desecrated by char-1 lered companies?desecrated by millions j of Sunday-travellers?desecrated in re- J peated instances, even since me nana 01 ( ilodhas been upon us, bv Congress it-1, seif ? Are not frauds, and dishonesties, j' and homicides increasing? Is not the j ] moral sense of the nation blunted, and I ( the standard of mercantile integrity dete- j j riorated, and a lax conscientiousness, and ( a diminished sensibility to the delicate , requisitions of scriptural 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 upon 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 bis elevation. The sorrow which pervades all classes of society, and which partakes more of the fervour of private grief, than >f the formality common to seasons of j public mourning attests how deeply he j aas enshrined in the affections of the: >eople, and how unfeignedly they deplore j .heir great bereavement. It is manifest.,I then, thar the stroke was designed to make js feel. God had smitten us in a tender x>int before. Our reigning passion?a >as.sion with which the' nation was welt ligh frantic?was the love of money; and it this very lust of accumulation, have he chastisements of the last four years j >een specifically levelled. Within the >ast few months even this absorbing pas. ion had, for the time,, given place to an Imost idolatrous devotion to the late 'resident. Has the shaft which was j commissioned to speed its way to his heart 10 voice of warning, then for us? "Smiten friends," (it has been said by a Chrisian poet) 44 Are Angel* sent on errand* full of love," For us they languish, and for us they Jie." May it not he so in the case of our >cloved President ? Is it not/or our sake* j ?(for our sins, perhaps)?that he has >een taken awnv? And 41 Shall he languish, shall he die, in vain ?" )ur former rebukes were disregarded. 1 >Ve would not see the hand of God when i ie swept away our wealth, and blasted . he proud fabric of our prosperity. Is J his judgment also to leave us as it found ; is, a torn and broken, still a proud, grasp, ng, obdurate, ungodly people? Are we o stand a widowed nation, around the rave of Harrison, and mingle our tears vor the good old soldier's dust, without I eeling that God has a controversy with ! s? Will our rulers and magistrates now . ow down before the Most High, and rev. j rently acknowledge his sovereignty? j Vill the nation now "put away their sins ! y righteousness'" and their iniquities by j timing unto God ? These are questions of unutterable so- . minify to us as Christians and as Armri. J an rihTPrw. Mav a merciful Provi. I " ?' J -- ence enable us, and our countrymen enerally, to ponder the consequences bey involve, with a seriousness befitting 1 he sad occasion which has brought them ^ cfore us. For Omnipotence has other j leans in reserve for vindicating his pre- j ngatives; and who will venture toanticiate the severity and extent of the inflicinn with which he may next visit us, if lis chastisement be unheeded ? 8AM SLICK TAMING A SHREW. I was down to the Island a seliin clocks, nd who should I meet but John Porter; 'ell, I traded with hitn for one part cash, art truck, and produce, and also put off* n him that arc hark mill you heerd me xinahout, and, it wis pretty considcraie in the evening afore we finished our ade. I came home along with him, and ad the clock in the wagon to fix it up >r him, and to show him how to regilate , . Well, as we neared his house, he hean to fret and take on dreadful or.ensy; ivs he, I hope Jane wont he abed, cause "she is.she'll act ugly, I do suppose. I ad heerd tell of her afore; how she used ) carry a stiff upper lip, and make him nd the broomstick well acquainted to- 1 ether; and savs I, why do you put up 1 ith her tandrums, I'd make a fair divis. >n of the house with her, if it was me, . d take the inside and allocate her the utside of it pretty quick, that's a fact.? fell, when we came to the house, there ( as no light in it, and the poor critter, >oked so streaked and down in the 1 louth, I felt proper sorrv for him. When 1 e rapped at the door, she called, Who's ' icre? It s me, dear, savs Porter. You I i it, said she, then you may stay where ' ou ho, them as gave you your supper, lav give you your bed, instead of send- I t you sneakin home at night like a thief, j laid I, in a whisper, says I. Leave her to t le, John Porter?jist take the horses up 0 the barn, and see after them, and I'll lanage her for you, !'H make her as weet as sugary candy, never fear. The j arn you see is a good piece off to the j astward of the house; and as soon as he i ^as cleverly out of hearin. says I, a imita- j in of his voice to the life, Do let me in, ' ane, says I. that's a dear critter, I've ! rought you home some things you'll like, | know. Well, she was an awful jealous ' ritter; says she, Take 'em to her you j pent the evening with, I don't want you j lor your presents neither. After a good ! leal of coaxin I stood on the tother fa'-k : nd began to threaten to break the door i lown; says I, You old unhansum looking j inner, you vinegar cruet you, oi>en the j oor this minit, or I'll smash it right in. J That grigged her properly, it made her j erv wrathy (for nothin sets up a woman's i punk like calling her ugly, she gets her ! ack right up like a cat when a strange : og comes near her; she's all eyes, cla ws j nd bristles.) . j 1 heerd her bounce right out of bed, and J he came to the door as she was, ondress- j d, and orbolted it; and as I entered it j he fetched ine a box right across my :her.k with the back of her hand, that 1 nade it tingle again. I'll teach you to j :aii names agin says she, you varmint, t was jist what I wanted; I pushed the loor tr.. with my foot and seizin her by he arm with one hand, I quilted her vith the horsewhip real hannsum with the >ther. At first she roared like rnad ; I'll n/lriinrito cava ;ive y?U lite ICII iuiiiiimuwiuv.>iij) Oiuu | he, (meaning her ten claws,) I'll pny you j or this, you cowardly villian, to strike a; voman. How dare you lift your hand j fohn Porter, to your lawful wife, and so j >n; all the time running round and round, ike a colt that's breakin, with the mouth j n bit, rarein kickin, and plungin like itatice. Then she began to give in. Says ihe, I beg pardon, on my knees I beg )ardon?don't murder me, for Heaven's lake,?don't, dear John, don't murder /our poor wife, that's a dear, I'll do as you >id me I promise to behave well, upon ny honor I do?oh I dear John, do forrive me, do dear. When 1 had her jroperly brought too, for havin nothin on )ut a thin under garment every crack of the ) whip told like a notch on a baker's tally, says I, Take that as a taste of i 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 he master : in mv own house. She moaned like n dog hit with a stone, half whine half y sip, 1 dear dear says she, If I aint all covered 1 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 'cm where folks wont see 'cm, any how, and 1 calculate you won't be over forrard to show 'em where they be. , But come, says I, be stirrin, or I'll quilt J you agin as sure as; you're alive?I'll tan your hide for you, you may depend, you , dd ungainly tempered crittor you. When I went to the barn, says I, John ^ Porter your wife made right at me, like one raviu distracted mad, when I opened the door think'n it was you; and I was obliged to give her a crack or two of the t/k rrr?* - ?!(>:, r fiC h?>r If has ef- I feet'id a earn completely; now Toiler if up, and i!on t let on for your life it warn't von that d?d it. and you'll be master once mo-e in Veur own house. She.'9 all do. ciiitv just now, keep her so. As we returned we saw a light in the keepin room, the fire was blazon np cheerfulsomo, and Marm Porter was movm about as brisk as parched po?.s, t lough 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 snickci. She couldn't credit her eves. He warn't drunk and he warn't crazy, but there he solas peeked and meechin as you please. She seemed all struck up of a heap at this rebellion* The next day when I was about steftin, I advised himjto 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, find 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 dog. I often think of the hornpipe * she danced there in tbe dark along with s me to the music of my whip; she touched it off 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. j You may depend Squire, the only way to ^ tame a shrew, is by the cowskin. Grandfather Slick was raised all along the coast j of Kent in Old England, and he used to ^ say there was an old saying there, which, I j exDcrt, is not far ofTtlie mark : t A woman, a dog. st wal.iut tree, The cno^e you lick *ein the better they be.' J Early Marriage?The following is ? the opinion of I)r. Frt.nklin, on this sub- 1 ject, as expressed in a letter to his friend ( John Alleyne: I Dear Jack?You desire, you say, my f impartial thoughts on tie subject, of an ? early marriage, by way of an answer to s the numberless objections which have c been made by numerous persons to your * own. You may remember when you < consulted me on the occasion, that I 1 thought youth on both sides to be no ohjection. Indeed, from the marriages ' which have fallen under my observation, J [am rather incIined<'to think that early ' ones stand the best chance for happiness. { The tempers and habits of the young are * not yet become so stiIf and uncomplying I as when more advanced in life ; they form 2 more easily to each other, and hence 1 many occasions of disgust are removed. c And if youth has less of that prudence * which is necessary to manage a family, I yet the parents and elder friends ofyoung ? married persons are generally at hand, to * afford their advice, which amply supplies a that defect; and by carlv marriage youth a 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. c Particular circumstances of particular persons may possibly sometimes make it o prudent to delay entering into that state ; t hut in general, when nature has rendered v our bodies tit for it, the presumption is in s nature's favor, tiiat she has not judged a- l? miss in making us desire it. Late mar- h riages are often attended, too, with thi-? r further inconvenience, that there is not 11 the same chance that the parents shafi r< live to see their offspring educated. Late ^ children, says the Spanish proverb, art v early orphans; a melancholy reflection h to those whose ease it may be!?With C us in America, marriages are generaly in d the morning of life; our children are r therefore educated ai.d settled in the o world hv noon : and thus our business be- h iug done, we have an afternoon and ev- h ening of cheerful leisure to ourselves, ll such as our friend at present enjoys. a In fine, I am glad you are married, g and congratulate you most cordially upon it. You are now in the way of becom- c ing a useful citizen, and you have escap- ' ed the unnatural state of celibacy for life, e the fate of many who never intended it, s but who having too long postponed the v change of their condition, find at length o that it is too late to think of it ; and so P live all their lives in a situation that grea- * tly lessens a man's value. An odd vol- 0 ume of a set of books, bears not the value a ofits proportion to the set. What think you of the odd half of a pair of 6ci?sors? h it can't well cut any?it may possible serve to scrape a trencher. Pray make my compliments and best a wishes acceptable to your bride. I am f 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 d will procure respect to you, not from her a only, but from all that observe it. Never a use a slighting expression to her, even in jest; for slights in jest, after frequent * bandyings, are apt to end in angry earn- e est. Be studious in !your profession, and you will be learned. Be industrious and frugal, and you will be rich. Bo sober and temperate, and you will be healthy. Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy. At least you will by such conduct, stand the best chance for such consequences- I pray God to bless you both! being ever your affectionate friend. B. F. SWCABIIYG. Whatever fortune may be made by perjury, I believe there never was a man who made a fortune bv common swearing. It Dften happens that men pay for swearing] hut it seldom happens that they are paid for it. It is not easy to pe<ceive what honor or credit is connected with it. Does finy man receive promotion because he is a notable blusterer ? Or is any man adyaricod to dignity because he is expert i! profane swearing ? Never. Low must he the character which such impertinence will exalt; his:h must be the character which such impertinence will not degrade. Inexcusable, therefore, must the practice which has neither reason nor passion to Tk? L;. ....

Swearng is void of all plea ; it is not the native >ffspring of the soul, not interwoven with he texture of the body ; nor anyhow aiied to our frame. For, asTillotson excesses it, " though some men pour out icths es if they were natural, yet no man was ever born of a swearing constitution." But it is a custom, a low and a paltry mstom, picked up by low and paltry spir ts who have no sense of honor, no regard 0 decency, but are forced to substitute ;ome rhapsody of nonsense to supply the vacancy of good sense. Hence the silliicss of the practice can only be equalled >y the silliness of the practice can only >e equalled by the silliness of those who idopt it.?Lamont. Whiskey and the Monkey. Mr. Pollard concluded the meeting.? Ie said he was a kind of old Butcher to >ring up the rear. So much had been mid. he scarce new what to talk about.? But there was one thing he would talk a>out and always intended to. For 50 years ie was in the gutter, 'the watch-house, he jail, and, if he had had justice done iim, had once been in the penitentiary.? [Ie had seen as much miseries of drunkjnness as perhaps any man, and he was low determined if possible to put down al:ohol and drive it out of the country.? ifen boasted that they were not drunkirds, but only moderate drinkers. He lid once, but he believed that if six glasies made a man a drunkard, he who Irank one glass was at least one sixth of 1 drunkard. Men would get drunk once >r twice and not call themselves drunkirds, and then they would get drunk again, rhey had Dot the abhorenceof the thing ind the v had self-control of the beast.? [n his drunken days he was the companon of a man down in Anne Arundel couny, who had a Monkey which he valued it a thousand dollars. We always took iim out on chesnut parties.

Soon he wa9 merry, kipped, hopped, and danced, and set us ill in a roar of laughter. Jack was drunk. rVe all agreed, six of us, that we would orae to the tavern next day and get Jack Irunk again, and have sport all day. I ailed in the next morning at my friend's louse. We went out for Jack. Instead if being as usual on his box, he was not o he 9cen. We looked inside and he pas crouched in a heap. Come out here aid his master. Jack came out on three Bgs, his fore paw was on his head. Jack lad the headache. I new what was the natter with him. He felt just as I felt tinny a morning. Jack was sick and ouldo't go. So we put it off three days. Ve then met. and while drinking a glass Pas provided for jack. But where was e? Skulking around behind the chairs, some here, Jack, said his master, and rink, holding out the glass to him. Jack etrcated, and as the door opened he slipt ut, and in a momect was on top of the ouse. His master went out and called im down. He got a cow.skin and shook t at him. Jack sat on the ridge pole nd would not come. His master got a ;un and pointed it at him. A monkey s much afraid of a gun. Jack slipped ver'the back side of the roof. His maser then got two guns and planted one on ach side of the house, when the monkey ecing his bnd predicament, at once /hipped upon thechimkey and down in ne of the flues, holding on by his fore aws. That man kept the monkey 12 years nd could never get him to taste one drop f whiskey; the beast had more sence than man, who has an imn^ortal soul; and hinks himself the first, and ought to think imself the first of all creation.
