Looking over that delightful cnllcction of cs The Spectator) of wnlch Addison's make by fur tho best part, I particularly noticcd in the jflSOth number, hi* celebrated criticism upon the seventh book of Parildise Lost. Addison extol* in .very high terms Milton's thought of the Crea tor taking his ffolden coiti passes 44 to clrcum SCribe this universe and all crcated things >v and says 44 it is a' noble incident in this wonder ful description.** Now, with all due deference to so great a critic, 1 think the thought a tery poor one. The Creator, who had only to say, * let the world be, and the world was,' is repre sented almost irreverently, certainly niont un worthily, like a mechanic, taking a pair of com passes to circumscribe the bounds of the universe. |ritls thoughtj which would do honour to Black more, and might make a figure in Pope's Art of Sinking, is vet?merely because Milton wrote t, and I Addison praised it?extolled by thou 3nds, who are ready to pronounce it wonderful sublime. Hot Addison tells us that this thought is 44 al together in llomer's spirit." 1 grant it is much more like a heathen (wet's idea of his gods, than 1 like that which a Christian ought to entertain of the Great Creator. Homer frequently repre sents his deities engaging in contests with men, and not always successfully Kven Mars is once scut bellowing from the. field of battle, hav ing been wounded by the swusd of Diomed.? Hut how different are these gods from tliat Al mighty living, to whose greatness the highest human imagination cannot elevate itself!?who 41 beheld, and drove n nder the nations ?at whose presence* the? in ding mountains were scattered." What u sublime idea is here pre sented of the Supreme Heing, in comparison with Homer's Minerva, with4> her spear," which would overturn whole squadrons,44 and her hel met that was sufficient to cover an army drawn out of an hundred cities;" or oven with Milton's notion of the Creator taking a pair of compasses, and centering one foot and turning tlio other round?to lay out the world in an exact circle. How feeble are these conceptions compared with the representation given of the Ktcrnal Spirit, in the flratbookofOenesis?-simple as tliat appears, and unadorned by that magnificence of language, With which Milton has clothcd his ideas. In his whole poem there is hardly, greater beauty of iwaiflwation than in the passage to which I al lude * and this charm imposes upon many who miftake elegapce of diction for grandeur of ' ^vr;' STAV'm " -'""K and in hia hand i j. ?? lla (n?ktno({oMeiwHi.|... ... ? ?? fit God's eternal store, to circunwcnbc ii This universe, and #11 created tln?K* ?

' A CURIOSITY. I stepped into the liouso of a friend the other evening, anil tie told me, that in rummaging o ver some old drawers he had found a curiosity, it was indeed very interesting and curious, to me at leant, and I dare say, it would be so to you, reader. The thing rcferrodto wat a view, or plan of the llattle of Hunker's Hill, taken by a llritinh officer, at the tliae, who was in tho en gagement. Tho execution was in a style of un common neatness; and as far a* It was possible for ine to judge, extremely and ininutefy accu rate. The referoHces were numerous and par ticular. The place of landing of the British was laid down?each regiment numbered'?tho artil lery and light infantry particularly designated the precise line of march marked out?the situa tion of tho American posts of defence, even to a barn, and the particular force that attacked the barn, laid down. The placo of the greatest carnage or loss to the llritinh?the two vessels that were moored to annoy our people?the bat tery that played upon our fortifications?the line of retreat and tho situation of tho craft stationed to cut oft* our troops | the situation of the commanding officer of the llritinh j and in deed every thing that could tend to give a clear nnd full idea of the situation and movements of I the parties. On looking over this map, deep and strong emotions were excited?pride at the glorious dcfenco made by our undisciplined A merican yeomanry, against the best regular for cc? of the old world?patriotism, by considering the spirit and devotion of our militia in defence of freedom and their country?pity, for tho suf? (Wing of the number who fell, and'admiration of the dauntless spirit manifested by the assailants and the assailed. At the same time it waa im possible to repress the smile, half in anger and half in mirth at the repetition of tho word u He* Mn '* which occurs so often In the delineation. It brought to our minds tho battle of tho kegs where the frequent use of that odious, ant) con temptible expression, is so handsomely ridiculcd. This, probably, is the only accurate plan of that memorable battle in existence. It ought cer tainly to be engraved, anil the copies multiplied, together with a correct account of the engage ment, ami to be in possession of every friemlto the liberties of the country... ff'Uktnbarre. Glean. CANDOR AND MR. FOX. After the rupture between Fox and flurke a Snntleman took occasion to sny to the, former tat" Mr. Iturke was a sophist, and would l>e thought nothing of, but for his da/./.ling elo quence." Mr. Fox immediately replied tl at he entertained a very different opinion of that gen tleman. ** 'l*ho eloquence of Mr. Ilnrke,"says he,(< rather injures Itis reputation i it is a veil over his wisdom ) remove his eloquence i re d?ce ItU iKftKtiagc ) withdraw his imauct, and jtou will ftnd^thut he is more wisnthan eloquent; yoi\ will ha>'o your full weight uf the metal, tho' you should meltdown tho chatting." Lord Lnu dordale onc? said in the mcscnco of Mr. Fox that41 Bm ko was a snlenuid tnudman." " It may bo diflicult," replied Fox," to say whether he !? mad or itisnired j whether one or the other, every one must agree that lie is a prophet." With what liberality great men speak of their adversaries. The raucor that knows no merit, but sees every crime in nn opponent, belong* not to men of superior and elevated uiinds.

Debias harangued so long, and he*r expressi ons were so fraught with invectives against the young widow, tnat her affected ostentatious show of virtue gave Arajo a secret disgust.

Ai soon as it was dark, young lliguera came and begged the favor to be introduced to the widow to condole with her upon the melancholy occasi on. He was accordingly admitted and thoy both joined in their lamentations?Next day their grief abated, and they dined together*? Higuera informed lier that 'Ins friend Ma left him the greater part of his effects, andgavoher to understand that he should think himself tho happiest of men if she would condeacond to be* his iartner in that devise. The widow wept, sighed and began to be re conciled. More time was spent ftt supper than at dinner J they discoursed together iWi more freedom.

" Strange remedy truly," said Debias. ? Not stranger. Madam," said ho " than the great So terror's infallible apopletic necklace." This assurance of success, together with Hi guerla s personal merit, determined Debias in his favor. ^ After all, said she, " when iny husband pas ses the bridges Tohimavar, from the world of yesterday to the other of to-morrow, will tho angel Asrail, think you make any scruple about III* passage, should his nose prove something shorter in tho next life than Itwas in this ? Sho was determined however, to venture, and taking up a sharp razor, repaired to her husband's tomb, watered it first with her tears, and then propo sed to perform the innocent operation, a? he lay extended breathless in his coffin.
