F:r ti.. Kingston Gazett£. RECKONER •No. 5^. THE good difpofuions of the heart require as cor.fbnt a cultiv.i- tinnas the "powers of the mind.— We may Live naturally warm af- fecUcms, be naturally ccmpail'-'Ti- ate ?.nd humane, but tlicfe aifec- tions it not oiien excTd*cd3 and exercifcd with dii'eretion, may fhoot forth into cxtrjvagancd, or be entirely e.xtiiiguiilied. In or¬ der to be kindly aueclioncd one to another, our reafon mull always prefide, and it muft be furnifhed with fiich lellbns from experience, as can only be learned by mixing in iociety, and becoming acquaint¬ ed with the mutual dependence of mankind. Are you defirous of feeing thofe who have been the moit charitable, do not feel: them in the cell of the monaflery or in the recelles cftheforcft fecludcd from the reft of the world, and continually ruminating upon them- ielves—Do not feck them among thofe who have no friends, no pcr- fons whom they love, who have centered all their happineis in themfelves, and have never given iree fcope to the feelings of their hearts. The man who has not mixed in lbciety, becomes felnfh e- yen in fpite of himfelf—it is indeed impomble for him to be otheru-ife, for how is he to learn practical lef- fens of benevolence—he who knows nothing of the more amia¬ ble and engaging virtues, except the name—Where has he feen the good man giving food to the hun¬ gry, clcathing the naked—correc¬ ting error—difleminating knowl¬ edge—Toothing forrow, and incul- CitiDg patience and refignation— Whii fuch a£s of mercy, he may have i-me acc[uaintance from b oks, but thiy do not inter. Rhini. To add feeling to tins knowl¬ edge, he nuiii have leen them em¬ bodied, not only feen them, but have been frequently an actor—8c perfouilly employed in thcie olli- ces of brotherly love. He who lives feeluded from the world can¬ not enter into the leel'mps & views of others, beeaule he K forever al> forbed in his own—to him the world is nothing h he be iai'e him¬ felf. It may therefore be laid down as a maxim, that feclufidn from the world is not favorable to the benevolent affections—And it extreme lblitude produce thefc dreadful effcete, partial fecluiion re.i.it proportionally do the fame. Look at thole families who refule to partake of friendly vilits among their neighbors, who never aik their acquaintance to participate in tlvir hoi'pitality, but remain cooped tip in their own dwelling* and you will ever find them ot Harrow minds. They (hut out from themfelves the proper books of inftruaion, and they never be¬ come acquainted wMi the views and difpnlitions of thole around them. Copying every pcrfon af¬ ter Ekcmfelvcs, they conceive all men narrow minded—avaricious ir.dhL7* Lsar&sab—tfwi ftlncr «x&> ly conclude that fucli is human na¬ ture. When once an opinion fb erroneous gets polfeflion of their mind-, they very eafiiy account to themfelves tor thofe dii'plays of be¬ nevolence and companion which frequently encounter their diftort- cd eyes. Tlicy coniider them as ftowinff from a deiire to become popular, from ambitious defi^ns, from any thing but a good mo¬ tive ; for being conMous that they themfeives never acl charitably. tbcv cannot believe that others act diii'crentb". In order to become kindly affecrioned, wc muil mix together, and this, all of us have the means of doing with the ut- moll eafe, and without any d;m- ffer or becomins; dtffolutc and vi- dous. For the firll germ of all our land ailecTiOns appears in the bofom of our families—the kind- neis of parents to their children,' their anxiety to provide for all their ncecuiiies, their feelings du¬ ring ficknefs and diilrefs, engage the whole heart—Indeed the man who is not a kind father and an affectionate hufbahd, Sc who does not, in dilcharging thele auguft functions, act with rcr.dernefs and humanity, can never be kindly af- feclionedlo his fellow men. And the woman who is not an affec¬ tionate filter, an obedient daugh¬ ter, a tender wife, and an indul¬ gent parent, has yet to learn the fenfibility cheriihed by reafon and functioned by religion. At home we learn in the molt engaging manner how to be kindly aficc- tioncd. Home mould always be a place of delight to all the bran¬ ches of the family—if a houlc be divided againft itfelf, how can that houfc ftand, and if diftruft, pride, malignity & envy infmuavc them¬ felves into the hearts of brothers and filters, how can they acquire thofe blefied affeclions which are our glory and crown—affections which frnooth the rough paths of life, & confer happinefs upon oth¬ ers, at the fame time that they fill our own fouls with the mofl ex- quifite delight. ^ But it may be alked why is re¬ tirement dented by all good men as the mod fafcinating enjoyment jt it rather harden than lot ten the heart, and how can the virtuous and the wife prefer it to thofe ac- tive feenes which cheriflf the mod in his affections, a mediocrity tfi his feelings which deprives him 0? much indefcribable pleafurc. Nor will this participation in the a. mufements of the young, and anx- uprioiitpniuiplesandpiVluccthc iety to promote their happing mnif fond fclicuy ?—To iolvcthis degenerate into ridiculous tond. --■*-■ nefSj n0r induce him to be pleafed at improper conduct in the child, for the benevolent affections being under the guidance of Reafon, they never ceafe to command rd- pecf and to create citecm. difficulty it is to bo obferved that tho* many good men fc<-k lor re¬ tirement, and take polleffion of it as loon as they have it in their power, it is not that intcrcited fe- clufion which we have been con¬ demning—it is hot that narrow minded lblitude by which we be¬ come infulated and are induced to prefer our own taftes, inclinations, and intcrefts to thofe of all other men—-A fcclufton of this fort is never defircd by the religious^ & the good. The retirement which they' with for is leifure to attend to the important concerns ol their fouls. A freedom from that mul¬ tiplicity of worldly bufmefs io which they have been hitherto in¬ volved. They with to enjoy a few years before their departure, ih the bofom of their families, U in the foeicty of the friends they love. This is a retirement which carries with it all the more amia¬ ble virtues—a retirement which cberiihes all the tender difpofuions of the heart. ^\d Which is perfect' ly coiifdtent with the proper dif- ioknf<ts nf-aB »flttsj J:-,;a' af .;■■■-' i & chril'Uans. Vet we inull confefs that he who refolulely dares to be •virtuous, he who is deiirous of ri- fine above the common meafure of virtuous excellence, he who re¬ gards not the iacriftcc of private comfort when he can difiufe his benevolent ofliceS throurrh a wi- * 9 dcr circle will rather prefer a pub¬ lic to a retired life—he will ex¬ tend his Tiews beyond his friends and connexions, and feck for op¬ portunities of doing good to the whole community. He reflects that if all were to retire within the domeftic circle, were all to Ihrink from the public eye, foeicty would be diffolved, and even thole blef- iings which wc at prelent enjoy in the bofom of our families would be totally loft, ft is true, in this country, inoit of u.s five retired! from neceffity ; and not having the power of choice, it can be no fault, nor is it any hindrance to our ufcfulncfs, for all of us have numerous opportunities of excr- cifmg our benevolent difpofitions, and of extending their influence as far as our abilities allow. But as many ol" us may not al¬ ways be able to afcertain how de¬ ficient we are in thofe heavenly graces—thofe cements of fociety, it is not unimportant to mention one or two marks by which our failings may be clearly afcertaincd. He then who docs not find him¬ felf, when placed at bis own fire- fvdc in the mielft of his ramily, fur- rounded by love, gratitude and refpect, may naturally conclude that he is wanting in l'ome part of his conduct—He who docs not en¬ joy the molt exquifite delight in the midft of his children—who does not. exult in their expanding virtues, who hears not, with plea- fure, their innocent but juvenile remarks—who cannot enter into their little amufements, and while he carefully prefcrves them from becoming licentious, never damps their Ample joy, is deficient in the benevolent aficctions. He may be m\ excellent man, lie may poffefs many good qualities—his under¬ standing may be found, and his heart pure, but there is a coolncfs From the Raleigh Ster. AN old woman in Lincoln coun- ty in this ftatc lately came by her death in a manner that would be deemed tragical was it not the cpn» fequence of her own beafily folly. We publifh the account as related. "The widow W****, who lived with her fon, went to a neighbor's to purchafe fotne whilkey, but he knowing her habits, refufed to let her have any. .As fhe went home fhe puffed by the diftillery, and took leave to 1:11 a crourd out of a barrel which in her h.aitc to he d: inking fl^e left running.—\W the time (lie reached home., flic had been fo conltmt i:i her devo¬ tions to the gourd, that ll.e bo- came literally drunk; and by tum¬ bling into the lire let her clothe; ?n a bh"e. in which f:'.'.■'h'l1 j.i'" crawled out of doors to ?. pile of ihavings, where flic laid herlcli down [laming like a Ger.loo wid» ow upon the funeral pile of her hufband.
