Montreal, Sft. 10, 1810, I tf M MY elded daughter having read your ferond paper hil evening to my family and a few f 1 rends who had come to vifit us at this fedive feafon, it occafioned a great va¬ riety of remarks. Tho* frequently culpa¬ ble ourfclves, we wifh our children to be good ; but to bring about our own reform- ation in trying to make them virtuous, is an advantage which had never occurred to any of us before. A maiden aunt confeiTcd that fhe had never been very fond of children, that flie had frequently wondered how peo¬ ple could be fo patient with {quailing brats, ad fo fooh'fhly fcr their amufement, and fac- rifice their own eafe v.nd happiaefs to tiicreafe their pieafure : but die had now learned the fecrct. By rendering their children happy, parents render themfclves happy. She de¬ termined therefore to reform, and be as kind to her nephews and nieces as (he had form¬ erly been hardi. For my own part I look¬ ed upon my five boys and three girls with redoubled aiTefflion, and my memory furnilh- ed me with many proofs of the truth of your obfervations. Inftead of making us more felfilh, children unquedionably expand our benevolent affections; We are frequently kind to others that they may have friends. A tender father looks at his family finding around him—who will protect them, he fays in his heart, if I happen to be taken away ? This induces him to become more focial, his heart opens to generous impreflions, he fe- le&s faithful friends, and he binds them to hirn by the kinded attentions, that his chil¬ dren may not be deilitute, if bereaved of their father. The fame fentiments pcrfuade him to be the guardian of his friends' offspring, when it becomes necefTary, and to difcharge the duty with the mod fcrupuioiis fidelity. The Golden Rule is before him. My chil- A,ir<:r,, re.ay be in i\jz fume filouiibii , tfecy may dand in need of that integiity which 1 am at prefent exciting in behalf of thofe help- lefs innocents left by my lamented iriend.— Society is bound together by the rifing gen¬ eration, for it counteracts many of thofe for¬ did pa (lions which feek only private gratifi¬ cation. My temper, Mr.. Reckoner, was harfh and irritable before I had children, my wife was too mild and diffident to check it fufficiently—her kindnefs and forbearance frequently produced feafons of cbmpundtion, but my habitual violence returned. I was always repenting of my. excelTes and always committing new ones—but when my chil¬ dren began to diftipguifu right from wrong, I perceived the grofs abfurdity of endeavor¬ ing to teach them the government of their tempers when I could not govern my own : this induced me to watch it more carefully, and becoming daily more convinced of its impropriety, I gradually redrained it, till I am now completely mailer. My notions of religion were loofe and un- fatifcfactory ; indeed I knew little more than the name ; but when I began to teach my children to fay their prayers evening and morning, this fubjeA acquired new import¬ ance. It is difhonorable and hypocritical thought I to be teaching wha£ I do not prac¬ tice, to be imprefiing the tender minds of my children with reverence for religion, while I difregard it. Thefe reflections determine ed me to examine its evidences, and the Te- fult was a firm conviction of its parity and truth. Several perfons acknowledged that they had reaped advantages of the fame kind —they had left off vices and conquered bad habits, left their children ihould imitate them. One very old man declared that he never began to think ferioufly, till his favor¬ ite fon was killed by the accidental fall of a tree. I thought of nothing but of riches ; my avarice increafed every year—wheat had been very high, I had little to fell, which grieved me exceedingly, but I refolved to prepare for the next feafon. I cleared twice as much ground as ufual, and by the fall of the laft tree my fon was killed. It appear¬ ed to be a judgment upon me, there was no neceffity for my clearing fo much land, I had enough. 1 was thrown into a new train of thinking ; my affection for my child con¬ quered my avarice, and his death reilored me to my ft If. The tears dropped from his eyes as he fpoke, and there was file-ncc for ibme In order to enliven t&e'-cbnt'erfation, fome objections to marriage were dated and ex¬ amined. In particular litnations feveral of them were allowed to have gieat weight* out tew of them applied to a country like this, where the means of living is lo much within the power of every honed man. People by marrying du not funjecl themfelves to great¬ er difficulties than they feel when Eagle ; but this cannot always be faid in populous countries and in great towns. Here the in- dudrious man can never want bread for his children, he can always keep them comfort¬ able. But in 3 countiv ovei Hocked with e inhabitants, a man by getting a family rifle his independence and his happinefs, for hi Will be more miserable at feeing his children familhing than if he had remained a bache¬ lor. Yk e next proceeded to examine the qualifications which the parties ou;ht to pol- fefs in order to be happy when united, but thefe I diall detail in a future letter if yon ihould admit this, which is perhaps already too hug. But I thought that it would give you pleaiure to know that your paper ena¬ bled us to fpend an evening mod agreeablv, which might have been dull and infipid if left to our own refources. It gave* rile to many animated, but friendly debates. It rcdoied to our minds the feelings of thofe h>ippy mo¬ ments when we were fondly anticipating that union of inlereils of fouls which has been productive of lb much felicity. It warmed bur hearts towards our children and to one 1 * another, and we rofe convinced that to be a father or a mother was to lirengtheli the fin¬ er movements of the fou). minutes. Singular adventure of d Br'ilfh Sohirer in a campaign m North Ahertca. IN the year 1779), when the war with A- merica was conducted vgith great fpitit upon that continent, a diviiion of the Britilh. ar¬ my was encamped on the banks of a river, and in a potition fo favored by nature, that it was difficult for any military art to fur- prife it. War in America was rather a f;»e- cies of hunting than a regular campaign. '* If you light with art," laid Vvaihington to lila foldkja, tf -uu eO c Tuie L& £& Utreatc3\ Acquire difcipliue enough for retreat and the uniformity of combined attack, and your country will ptove the bed of engineers." So true was the maxim of the American gen¬ eral, that the Englith foldiers had to contend with little elfe. They tallied out of their impenetrable for efts and jungles, and with their arrows and tomahawks, Committed dai¬ ly wade upon the Britilh army, furprifing their fentinels, cutting off their itragglers ; and even when the alarm was given, and pnrfuit commenced, they fled with a fwift- nefs that the fpeed of cavalry could not over¬ take, into rocks and fa 11 nedes whither it was" dangerous to follow them. In order to limit as far as poflible this fpecies of war, in which there was fo miich lod and fo little honor, it was the ctrdbm with every regiment to extend its o'ut-po'tts; to a great dillance beyond the encampments ; to dation fentinels fome miles in the woods, and keep a cOndant guard rc'und the main body. , _ ■■'..••,--' A regiment of foot was at this time fta- tioned upon the confines of a boundlefs fa- vannah. Its particular office was to guard every avenue of approach to the main body ; the fentinels,- whole polls penetrated into the woods, were fupplied from the ranks, and the fervice of this regiment was thus more hazardous than that of any other. Its lefs was likewiie great. The fentinels were per¬ petually furprifed upon their pods by the In¬ dians, and were borne off their dations with¬ out communicating any alarm, or being heard of after. Not a trace was left of the manner in which they had been conveyed away, except that, on one or two occalions, a few drop* of blood had appeared upon the leaves which covered the ground. Many imputed this unaccountable difappearanee to treachery, and fuggefled as an unanfwerable argument, that the mtn thus furprifed might at lcaft have fired their roufkets and communicated the alarm to the contiguous pods. Others, who could not be brought to confider it at$ treachery, were conteiiLed to receive it as a mydery which time would unravel. One morning, the fentinels having been Rationed a3 ufual over night, the guaid went at fun-rife to relieve a pod which extended a coniiderable diltance into the wcod. The fentinel was gone ! The furprife was great ; but the circumdance had occurred before. Thev left another man, arid departed, with-
