In the black catalogue of crimes, I know of
none more to be deprecated in its consequen
ces than this. Man is the natural protector of
woman, and to him she looks for support in
situations to which the weakness of her sex
exposes her. In return for his protection,
her smile rewards him in prosperity ; she con
doles with his ciiliction ; she is the compan
ion of his joys, and participator of his sor
rows ; in that scene where the attentions of
a female are more effectual and consolatory
than all the prescriptions of the materia medi-
ca, the bed of disease, she is the faithful and
indefatigable servant, and the last sad and suf
fering mourner when we are no longer sensi
ble to her attentions and her heart-rending
gnels. I o destroy and consign to destruc
tion, by robbing her of M that jewel in her dow

. ,fJut I.wliyfili by a sim
ple tale too fatally founded on fact as
regards me melancholy denouement literally
true : '
Emma Wooch'tllc was the daughter of a rev-
oluttonary soldier, who found himself after
the close of that contest, in which he had serv-
cflSkr-ytciLpinevii
little paternal inheritance in one of those beau
tiful villages which are found in the state of
Nev-York, near the Canadian shore, sufficed
for the .support of himself and his wife, for
at that time he had no children. Mrs. Wpod
ville had been f)orB'-tb1)eUe:'fOTmnet but the
change of her circumstances did not change,
her temper or her manners she was still the
same.cheerful,, affectionate an'tidevoted friend.
J ney uvea happily, ior they were contented
jjorr.nd am'uWe contort, bctt liiH with
anxious cMnctation. Hut lhiidtlii;htful pros
pect vvtii blighted in the bud the joyious an
ticipation w.1 only the precursor ti a yc;
more afllictinfj calamity. Mn. Woodyillc
expired in giving birth to a -laughteri The
major was a prey to the most devouring and
heartfelt grief j and dekpair wai mnking hasty
inroads upon hi con,titutiontwhen the hniilcs
of his daughter taught him that he had yet
one tie to bind htmto the world; He lived
for his Kmmi, and the care of j her education
solaced hii hours of despondency and grief,
whilst her cheerful and conciliating disposi
tion gratified the pride and hopts of a parent.
Hut I shall extend my tale to toogrent a length,
He lived in tins nnrfjerwjth nathing-ta inv
tcrrupt his hnppiuesi), till our late war was de
clared, and the trumpet and drum roused our
citizens from the slumber of peace, to plunge
them into the horrors of an exterminating war.
Colonel Manner?., who commanded a regi
ment which was quartered in ihc neighbor-,
hood, became almost an inmate of the mjjor's
house-Plausible and insinuating in his deport
ment, he soon became a favorite- of the major,
who would talk of the days of his youth, the
live-long night with all the enthusiasm of a
veteran, who
"Shoulders his crutch and sliows how fuld were won."
Emma insensibly felt an indescribable in
terest in the narratives of the Colonel, and as
he had always at command a tale of war, she
was never more delighted than when he rela
ted his "hair breadth 'scapes, and wonderful
adventures by flood and field," and with the
gemle Desdemona, almost wished " that
Heaven had made her such a man," Suffice
it, that by the must unremitting attentions,
and the most sacred protestations of fidelity,
he seduced her from her native home, and
from herdistraacd parent." Heftears fell
fast upon his cheek as she clandestinely bid
adieu to the cot which had seen her contented
and happy in the society of the ooly one she
had yet held dear on '-arth ; the roses of the
little garden she had cultivated, seemed to
hang their heads and droop at her departure,
whilst the tall oak under which she had so of
ten been seated to receive the instruction and
advice of her father, sighed mournfully as the
wind rustled through its leaves. They soon
arrived in New-York. The colonel took for
her a lodging in an obscure part of that gay
city. For a time he was unremitting in his
attentions, and his visits were repeated daily.
bhe received him with smiles, but they were a
poor disguise for the canker worm which de
voured her heart. Often, whilst his kindness
was yet unabated, she found it impossible to
restrain her tears, and he would kiss them off
from her cheek, and reiterate his oaths of con
stancy and his promises of an honorable mar
riage. His visits, however, became less fre
quent, and though she complained not, her
gnei and remorse became more intense. The
lonely pillow, which she had once pressed in
peace and happy forgetfulness, was now, wet
with her tears, the scene of the most harrass
ing reflection ; and her sleep was haunted
with ieverish dreams, in which her angry fa
ther frowned upon her from on high, in all the
majestv of oflended justice, and when she
knelt, spurned her from him. She soon after
heard that he had wandered, in a state of
mental derangement, into the woods, ami had
been taken by the savages at that time swarm
ing on the frontier, and inhumanlv murdered.
The deepest dejection and melancholv prey
ed upon her spirits, when one rooming she
saw announced, the marriage of colonel Man
iter to a y oung lady of N e -w-Yor k . The
shock overcame her her eyes swam, her
head became giddy, and she feu lifeless on
her bed- she rose almost districted a con
fused recollectibn of some great calamity

covered her memory, and the dreadlul reahtv

Wo deceive ourselves not a little, when wo
fancy that what 1 emphatically called the world,
Is only to be found in this or that situation. The
world is every where It is a nature as well as a
place j a principle as well as a 44 local habitation
and a name." Though the principle and the na
ture fioyvihh mo-it in those haunts which are their .
congctiLl hoil, yet-we uio too readyf when we
wiihlrawJkom.U)'c.wj
to lodge it in our own bosom. The natural heart
is both its Temple and its wnrihipper.-
Uut, the most devoted Idolater of the world,
with all the capacity and industry which he inny
have applied to thc.suVjcc Jws never. yet been
able to accomplish the grand design of uniting
the interest", of heaven and earth. This experi
ment, which has been more assiduously and more
frequently tried, than that of the Philosopher for
the grand Hermetic secret, has been tried with
aloiit the same degree of success. The most
laborious process of the spiritual Chemist to re
concile religion wjth the world, has never yet
been competent, to make ihc contending princi
ples coalesce.
Hut to drop metaphor. Religion was never
yet thoroughly relished by a heart full of the
world. The world in return cannot be com
pletely enjoyed, where there is just religion
enough to disturb its false peace. In such mlndi
Heaven and earth ruin each other's enjoyments.
There is afclrgionjwhich Ujtoo ; sincere Lforhy-
pocrisy, but too transient to be profitable ; too su
perficial to reach the heart, too unproductive to
proceed from it. -It is slight, but not false. It
has discernment enough to distinguish sin, but
not firmness enough to oppose it ; compunction
sufficient to soften the heart, but not vigor suffi
cient to reform it. It laments when it docs
wrong, and performs all the functions of repen
tance of sin except forsaking it. It has every
thing of devotion except the stability, and gives
e ery thing toreligioi except the heart. This
is a religion of times, events, and circumstances ;
it is brought into'pTay by accidentsand dwindles
away with the. occasion which called it our. Fes
tivals and Fastsr-whieh-occur but seldom, aro
much observed, and it is to be feared became
they occur but seldom ; while the great festival
which comes every week, comes too often to be
so respectfully treated. The piety of these peo
ple comes out much in sickness, but is apt to re
treat again as recovery approaches. If they die,
they are placed by their admirers in the Saint'
Calendar ; if they recover, they go back into the
world they had renounced, and again suspend
their amendment as often as death suspends his
blow. HANNAH MORE-
Whatever wealth and honor maybe worth 10
the living, they are nothing to the dead j nothing
even to the dying ! That decisive change sun
ders all the lies that bind a mortal to the world.
The hour of dissolution is emphatically the hour
of trial : Then, more than at any other period,
the affrighted, agonized victim feels dependance
and needs assistance : And if there be any thing
of power to do this ; any thing of power to abate-
the horrors and cheer the darkness of the death
scene, the bestowment of ..tii t, more than any
other token within the gift of Providence, ascer
