This absurd preference was deemed an impoflible thing, in days of yore, by an excellent judge, whose univer sally negative pvopofition, in the text affords an indubitable. proof, that his age was not the age of innovation. How unfortunate for the benighted Jews, that Thomas Paint was then unborn, and did not print Common Sf nfe, at the f'lot of the Mount of Olives. Hnw many inltnift edreaders would have staved to pieces their old winecaiks, and, with an air of dence, f wallowed huge draughts from the new. But though the men of Pale dine were de nied the privilege of examining wipe, of ariything' elfe,'by the lamp of Paine, we enjoy its full-blaze, and may discern the im prrfefticm of many old things, such as old principles, old government, or an old Bible. Nothing can flake the present thirst for no velty. This is the age' of experiment ; we defct'the old and.fsfe way, and turn aside eagerly into Untried paths. I imported, in thtf last vessels from Eu rope, many new books, and a brilliant (hew they made, ranged on my. study fhelf, by the fide of my dog's eared Shakespeare and worm eaten St. Bernard. I then examined cri tically, the style and the sentiment of mo dern literature. I quickly found that the fashionable fine writing of the day, was like new winr, crude and mawkish. No man who has read Atterbury and South, Addi fon and Goldfmlth, will prefer this verbose trash, laid 1, fcorufully glancing at a Lon don magazine, to the flerling {enfe and ini mitable expression of my old authors. A few evenings ago, I heard a pert col legian declaiming -against the fltldy of Gre cian and Roman pages. I then began to indulge one of my reveries. Here is a babe, whose ftiallow brain Cannot bear the Faler man of Horace, and who Chokes with the grape Jloiie of Anacreoti. t shall fee him in I moment running after some of the small wines #f the country, to a Frenth press. I was right; he began to deafen me with the praises of Mirabeau's speeches, Gregoire's report, and the Abbe Condorcet, andwifhrd that Virgil had been S poet of Langdedoc. May American students, I ejaculated, when they negleft tlie claflicks, and Drefer a French Spangle to ancient Gold, be doomed to read nothing but a butcher's bill of Le. gejidie, or Sfaiittrre's inventory of his brew houle This ferifion Js nt)t dedicated to French men. Nothing* that any PrrtcheV can fay wjll " help their unbelief." They are lb drunken with new wine, that they cannot difc,erp palices, abbey land;, ancient lana ,marks,, nor days of the week.. They ima gine fa many vain things, that fhouid Truth prrfent to ihem her old glass, they would turn aside. It is to you, foocr Americans, I aadiefs niy .exhortation. You, whether called old tones, uld feJeralifls, cr old fools, will never haiard ralh '• innovations, nor martfh in -thy "patriot* "forlorn hope of revo lution. You difl'ke not aq excellent form of religion or government (jecaufeit is three hundred years ei age. Satiificd with things asthijyare, you do not run tunrliltuoufly through your streets, bellowing reform : Nor do yoli, like the r&fh RehoUoam, flight the council of "the -aneient, to lifkn to the iiair brained projeSs ofjuvenile indifcreti^n. Distrust, defpifc the mm, therefore, who' progofes religious or politi cal expedients. Be jeplous of him, who adr rises you "obe jealons l>f your rulers. Burn the frdition and impiety of Painev and turn over the leaves ef the antiquated Bible. No mau of tsfie or piety having read it, ftrfight way drfireth infidelity, For be faith, the Gof pcl is better. THE LAY PREACHER. ANECDOTE OF SUWARROW In the campaign ®f the allied Ruffian and Aullrian forces against the Turks in Mol davia, 1789, the allies were separated. into three divifians prince Potemkin commanded the right, the prince of Saxe-Cobourg the left, and Suwarrow the centre. , The Tiusk ifli forces, very superior in numbers, were commanded by the grand vizier, a roan of considerable military flcill. He made a feint to njarch against the diviGon under Potem kin, and then marched abeut and wheeled again!) Saxe-Cobourg. Suwarrow, aware of tne danger in which the prince jiwft he placed, marched immediately witft -Boco troops to Ivis assistance.—Such was the ra pidity of his march, that of the 8000 only 3500 reached the army of prince Cobourg, the reft being compelled to flop through ex ce'ffive fatigue. Suwarrow arrived at mid night in the prince's camp, which the Turks were waiting for day break to attack. A council of war was called, in which the pre vailing opinion w.as, for Suwarrow's troops ta'repofe themfelve«—Cmfcious how fatal the smallest delay would be, Suwarrow ex claimed, with his chara£ler^' e energy— " Battle is the repose of my troops !—We mud attack the enemy in an hour, or all is loft."—The attack was accordingly made, and the Turks, ten times suptrior in num bers, were routed, and the three divisions of the allies were enabled to form a junc tion.
