From Dr. Nott’s Oration on the Death of Ham ilton. Under what accumulated circum stances of aggravation does the duellist jeopardise his own life, or take the life of his antagonist I I am sensible that in ^ licentious age, and w hen laws are made to yield to the vices of those who move in the higher circles, this crime is called by, 1 know not what accornmodaiinjj name.—But, before these altars; in ihis House of God, what is it r It is murder-^ deliberate, aggravated murder. If the duellist deny this, let him produce liin: warrant from the Author of life, for ta king from hiscreeture the life which hac! been sovereignly given. If he cannot dc thif:, beyond all controversy, he is a mur derer ; for murder consists in taking a- way life without the permission, and con trary to the prohibition of him wlio gav& it. Who is it, then that calls the duellis; 10 the dangerous and deadly combat ? h 11 God ? No ; on the contrary, he fo;-. bids it. Is it then his country ? No ; sli ^ also utters her prohibitory voice. \Vhr» is it then ? A man of honor ? And who iv this man of honor A raan, perhaps, whose honor is a name; who prates with polluted Ups, about the sacredness of character, when his own is stained with crimes, and needs but the singlo shade of murder to complete the dismal and sickly picture. Every transgression of the divine law implies great guilt, be^ cause it is the li’ansgression of infinite au- ihority. But the crime of deliberately and lightly taking life, has peculiar ag gravations. It is a crime committed a- gainst the written law not only, but also against the dictates of reason, the remon strances of conscicnce, and every'tender and amiable feeling of the heart. To the unfortunate sufi’erer, it is the wanton violatijn of his most sacred rights. It snatches him from his friends and hit; comforts ; terminates his stale of trial. most powerful feeiins) l.ri.~hlen iho way precipitates him, uncalled for, .nd by cn'ieavoring to make yourself atniabic I U"P^cP^''ed. into the preseDCc of , , . , 1 his Judge I 1 and pleasing to him.

I. ..ji]ed endeavor ot both parties during the time of courtship is to hinder themselves IVom being known—to disguise their natuial | temper and real desires in hypocritical imitation, studied compliance, and con tinued affection. From the time that love is avowed neither see the other but in a mask ; and the cheat is often managed on both sides with so much art, and discov ered with so much abruptness, that each has reason to expect that some transfor mation has happened on the wedding night, and that by strange imposture, as in the case of Jacob, one has been courted and another married. “ However discreet your choice has been, lime atid circumslance alone can suHiciently develope your husband’s character; by degrees the discovery v/ill be made that you have married a mortal, and that the object of your afTections is (if a iiewspnjjer, is perpetually grwm- hlii'g because we 1d not jojblish long , .

I repeat the word trivird, for it is really incon- cci'rivtd of sense and motion, you will re naain alive and capable of sense and mO' ther life.—He saw one night in a dream, a young man of celestial figure, who bade him follow him. The apparition led him into a Tnagtiificent city, in which his ears were charmed by melodious music, which exceeded the most enchanting harmony he had ever heard. To the inquiry, from v/hence came these ravishing sounds, liio conduclor answered that they wcit the hymns of the blessed in heaven, and dis appeared. Gennadius awoke, and the impression of the dream was dissipatid by the transactions of the day. The fol lowing night the yonng man appeared, anil asked whether he recollected him. The melodious songs which 1 heard last night, aiiswered Gennadius, are iv'-.r brought again to my memory. I'.(I you hear them (said the appaii: dreaming or awake ?” “I heard t. ' in a dream.” “ True, (replied the young man,} and our present conversation is a dreaiii ; but where is your body while I am speaking to you?” “ In my chamber.” “But know you not that your eyes are shut, and that you cannot sec?” “ My eyes are in deed shut.” “ How then can you see Gennadius could make no answer.—‘‘In your dream, the eyes of your body are and yourlove so far from declining, may acquire additional tenderness, from the consciousness that there was room for mutual forbearance. “ Study your husband’s temper and character ; and be it your pride and plea-1 closed and useless, but you have others sure to conform to his wishes.

Cease then yZt'S have, o! times^ over the mind, either in irritating uvpleasing. And the woman, who after a few years are gone by, can say, “ My husband and I have never yet had a loud and angry debate,” is in^my opinion better eiititied to a chaplet of lau rels, that) the hero who bus fou^jbt on liic plains of Waterloo. “There is one simple direction, which, if cat-efully regarded, tnight lung presf rvc the tranquility of the married life, and en sure no inconsidernbie share of connubial bappitiess to the observers of it : it i to bmr.vrof Iht diaputi, to entertain a doubt of another iife after death.” By this occurietice, Gennadius afl’irms, he Ijccartie a sincere believer in the doc>' trine of a fut-are state. It is not the* virtue of truth to say every thing that v/e think, but to say i' wl'iCti il is [)riident, and lhat is not always truth basils lime, althoujih it is etei'iia’- Old age. to the, wicked man is wor;* than l\itu!o!'a’s box ; it prescuts all its ~ i\ithotu lh»* ;’!cvi.iL!'''n o‘.’ Ijop" ' ■il.
