THE LAY PREACHER.
" Marry thy daughter, and so shall thou
have performed a weighty matter; hit
mar y her to a man of understanding."
THE perusal of what are denominated
the Apocryphal Books is a source, whence
may be derived much rich inftruftion and
pleating entertainment. The fententioua
apothegms of the Book of Ecclefiafticua will
b< read with delight and utility by those, who
frek for correft ideas upon life and manners.
In this Book, is found the text, which forma
out present tlieme of discourse, and the im
portance of the precept it contains will war
rant a deviation from the Canonical .Books..
To Parents, our difcrurfe is addrrffed,
upou ill interesting point. Ye, who have
been qonverfant with the pulsations ef the
parental heart, well know, that the forma
tion of the matrimonial union by vour chil
dr/n, it indeed " a weighty matter." Ye
know, that it is incumbent upon the pa.
rent, to be ever vigilant, left the happiness.
•f his child be forever blighted. Ye know
with what jealousy, parental advice and in
terference, upon this fubjeft, are ever re
garded. Ye also well know, that, in " the
hey-d»y of the blood," reason is rarely cen
fulted as a guide, that paflion is the chief
inrpulfe of the foul, and that the considera
tions, which Qiould be moflr impressive, are
reserved for a late repentance. Ye know,
that this connexion may give your children
kappinefs and honor, or may doom tlieni to
misery and degradation. Knowing these
-•things, ye will readily assent to my do&rine,
that this is " a weighty matter." Thus it
mutt be viewed by the eonfiderate and ob
serving, tho' it be quite otherwise regarded,
by the beardless youth, who is impelled by
a Wiiid infatuation, to enter the back door
of the Temple of Hymen, and the romantic
tnifs, who ventures upon a trip to Gretna
Green for happiness.
The Apocryphal writer dirediMarry
thy daughter, and so (halt thou have perform
ed a weighty matter ; but marry her to a man
ef understanding." Is it fuppof.-a!4e, that
he, wh > " takes thought" for the happiness
of his daughter, would marry her to aiiy, save
" a man of understanding ?" Yes ; there are
those, and "they arc many," who regard
rot the wortl.ltsfi.nt fs of the statue, if c»ver
ed by fplen J'd gliding ; and who are fatiifi
■ed <rith a funiptuoui exterior, tho' 'unaccom
panied by substantial worth There are
these, who, from "birth and fortune, claim
pre-eminence, with whom underft,mding is
Bought, and to whom the produftions of
genius ar» as " pearls <Saft before swine."
Tbere are those, who know neither liow to
difcri initiate, nor how to value, the ■" man of
undemanding." There are those, among
the high ones of the earth, who would sooner
marry a daughter to the frothy coxcomb,
Klho is a (landing specimen of the fripperies,
•which degrade, and the vices, which disgrace
our fpeeies, than to the man, who pofiefies
talents to enlarge the boundaries of science,
or energy to save a falling state. There are
those, who would court an alliance with the
" popinjay," who (hinet with lustre in the
graces of the drawing room and the gallan
tries of the dance ; but would fpuin, with
bitter (corn, from such a connexion, the
man. who !ui no wealth but genius, and no
pride but that which flows from conscious
virtue. This is a canker of the mind, which
will not be cuied by mora! admonition, and
nought ljut experience will teach such parents
tbe true diminution between the " man of
uaderftanding" and the " golden fool."
I rnuft here remark; and I will do it with
honaft franknefs, that the fair themselves af
ford too (paring countenance to the man of
undemanding. The urpolifhcd deportment,
which isalmoft inseparable from those habits
of seclusion, which jead to greatnefi,J is~a
hardy obstacle to female favor. The (imper
ing beau, who ii, confefied ly, the ntol) con
temptible being in God's creation, will be
found a favorite in the fplcndid circles of
gaiety and fiftiion ; whilfl the portion of the
iQodeft " man of understanding" is the con
tumely of the protid, and the chilling scorn
of fancied greatnefi. But, let it be remarked,
that, tho' the " man of understanding" do
rot " caper nimbly to th? pirating of a
late," tho'he have ro eye to fee tbepolilhed
teeth, the painted«hecks, and pencilled brows
of beauty ; tho' he have no tongue, that can
■ltchanicxlly run the round of falfehood ;
Mature h*j placed him on an eminence, which
piers high o'er the pampered sons of wealth
and grandeur.
Tf opulence cablH fcctrr; fron, misery, o»
noble blood produce ur.m irrt'd Itlifa, the pre
cept in the text (h uld Hand, " marry thj
daughter to tie wealthy, or the great."
Bat, he whose views are wifely dire&ed to
the happmefs of his child, will fret, " at for
Ijid treafare," for a " man of underßimd.
ing." When thotr haft allied thy daughter
to fueh an one, thou haft, indeed, " perform
ed a weighty matter." Experience will d.-
mouftrate thy wifdoin. If opulence be his,
he knows how to use the boon of Providence.
If tfce storms of adversity a (Tail him, there
will remain to him a poffeilion, which is na
ture's richest. gift. But the Parent, who
fceka for an alliance with wealth or grandeur,
without regard to understanding and integri
ty, mean and ignominioufly fordid.
It may be said in a lingle word, that, for the
jgratiScation of the meaneftof all pride,fuch
an one fells his own blood to a " legal pro-
ftitution."
1 conclude by enforcing the precept in
my text " Marry thy daughter, To (halt
thou have performed a weighty mat6?r."
But be not reduced to marry her to a " man
void of underftandmg," even tho' " the
difhe* of luxury cover his table, the voice' of.
harmony lull him in hii bowers, he breathe
the fragrance of the groves of. Java, and
fl.'cp on the down of tl>e cygnets of the
Ganges."

PRIESTLEY.
IT is clear that tbij delving "old Illumi
natus, views the election of the Chief Juf
tice,,js the commencement of a new era, in
which (edition (hall cease to be odious hos
tility to all the fundamental principles of
eftablillied order in America, cease to "be a
crime. Accordingly we find him burrting
from those trammels which policy had itn
poled upon him, and arranging himfelf de
ciftvdy under the Banners of those men, who
have avowed thvir determination to "bring
back tlie days of Seventy-Six," or in other
words to abrogate Federaiifin, and to found
a fiirple Democracy.
As a Religionist, thi« meek, modest Phi
lofophiier, appears ni» less oftenfive, than as
a Politician. He came to America, the
Sedlarian of a peculiar religious creed, which
had few adherents amopg us ; and whether
these his peculiar opinion; were found orun
found, the faft that they were held in con*
tempt by the greater part of the communi
ty, would, methinks, have impot'ed on any
decent man, profeffing them, fame degree of
regard for the opinions of others, in the
Heps taker, to enforce thtm. Beheld, on the
Contrary, this humble, inoffenfive, and much
injured man, who wishes only to reform his
fellow-men in their civil and religious pelLty,
Oiginatizing with the odious-charge oi Ida'.a.
■try, every fe£t and denomination of
tians, who do not with him believe in the
nan-entity of the Holy Ghcft; that our
Lord and Saviour, J.fus Christ, is a private
herson -these in his language, are all
" iDOLATnoUS CHKISTIANi" !
As a Frernb citnen, 1 (hould incline to
take many li . ious exceptions to this drfin
terefted Illuminator vf the Religious and Po
litical Dnknefsof this Enlightened
But,-uiftrt3pily, a fiate'ef. things has been

He may, therefore, without danger of con.-

freedom," in his ■compaiitoii of France with
America, and of Frepch Republicanism with
that of the United States ; and give his pre

The fcaoding of -his- Philosophy with
which Iw blefles us in his Book, and in which

If appears that the Reverend Fugitive of
Northumberland has lately addrcflVd the in.
habitants of that town and neighborhood in
a ferie; of letters, tending, partly to magnify
himfelf and partly lo depreciate the govern

This meagre,abortive product # 1, appear?,
on the flighted view, thfc offspring of mor
tified vanity.
Non noilri fachmt.tiH quod tua Tcmpora fordent,
Sc4 floret Ccuiliane tui.
Its peevilh. author, weary of the utter
infignificance to which public opinion hat
confirmd him, makes one desperate effort
to attraft attention by becoming him
felf the herald of bis own achievements.
Fondly mirtaking the fulfome flatteries of
the moftdiniinstivc among the religious fcdU
in England, for an evidence of gencrai es
timation, he seems aftoniflied that thele
soothing founds no longer re»ch his ear.
Elevated for a moment on the basis of fac
tion, his pigmy confeouence fwellrd as he
thought to the gigantic ; and now that re
turning reafou has thrown him from his pe
destal, the meeJinefs and humility of his tem
per are inadequate to endure the degradation.
What stronger proof of the slate of neglcft
and deftitotion to which this filly, vain old
uian is reduced than this very pamphlet ?
If he could have resorted to the advice of a
/> «eJ, he lordly been
permitted thus lay b.tre.Jii»o\»n inCrmi
tiet. Tint puUtu: eye- w.ttild not hiv? been
folicitrd to :k » rraufeou* cimpound of vani
ty and imbecility—to this childish ta">, of
which Prieftty is tlie hero and the
narrator. This nerrelefi zealot might then
have been adm miflird that he had already
Iraled his own beyond ths power
of any confrfG'W howctrr ample to aggra
vate. That his name might indeed add one
to the mufler-roll of I'cdition but that he
could fcarccly .aspire-beyond the dignity of
a follower of the camp*—that the fplendorof
frii merits was funk in dim eclipse before
the superior effulgence of a Duane, a Cal
lender, and thousand others, advanced to
mortifying preeminence above him. He
might have been reminded that in his feeble
energies even the paroxysms of feditiou* fren
zy were inefficient to rouse any efle&ive
exertion—that h« impotent fury would on
ly serve to provoke the scorn of his adver
laries, loathed and abhorred as the filtby sla
ver <f{ a ferpeut that canuot bite.
This puny abortion mu(t iwceffarily be
fliort-lived. Anlong the votaries of genu
ine liberty, the friends of order and good go
vernment, its infignificince may rescue it
from indignant reprobation to it to
quiet contempt. No document was needed
to afceitain the cliarafter of its author.
The qucftion indeed has no claim 90 the pub
lic interest. Timidity itfclfcould apprehend
no danger from such an adversary. The ja
cobins, under whole-banners "lie exults to
range, way coldly fcotnmend the 2cal which
inflames him, but their prafts will extend
no fnrther-—they will lament that dtfpofi
tions like hit are doomed to exhaust thctn
felves in harmless effort?—that the public
peace is frcured againll the venom of
the (haft, by the want of vigor in the bow
-—they will admit the Sincerity with which
he fjraternues, and admire the unbluftiing
liardinefj wiiji which he avows hiiufclf their
alTociate. But alas these encomiums so dear
to liis ambition will be robbed of half their
worth. Tho'driven to the enliflment ef al
most all who present' thfmfelves, the leaders
of jacobinism would probably excuse the ser
vices of this forward veteran—they would
indulge, hmi with permission to withdraw
from the Geld—Jam tempus abir* tibi.
Within the narrow range through which
such a performance is likely to circulate it it
to be hoped that every allowance will be
made for it? author. Let it be remembered
that the Cacoethcs Stribendi can hardly be
cured at the age of sixty—that the man
whom a modern satirist has defcrlbed "to
write on all things but on nothing vvell"
rnuirt of course be expe&ed to extend his
blunders to politics—that whileth* alien and
sedition laws are permitted to (lumber, beings
of his deicription muff fcel temptation irre
sistible, to venture forth—that to the dupe
of. vanity, fclf is the mod inviting theme,
and that when public negleft is fuperadded,
to found his own praises becomes a matter
of necessity. '
