Hubbard. [P. E. ISLANF). CRIME AND CONSEQUENCE '•The way of transgressors is hard." The following production was put into my hands by a Genlleman or Gcorgeiown. The writer kept a Schrol not farfrotn that place, and was kiiown to some ol the present Inhabilams. In a fit of despondency, brou;,'ht on by drunkenness, he committed au'cide, by hun.'jing himself 10 a tree in an adjoining wood, after leaving ihe following note in his desk: — " Afy conduct of Uitc. has hcen so bad, that I am nshamcl to mcel mortal, more; I may lie found near Mor hij'fi place, dead, as I hope to be. Faiewcll .' Heavens bless you, and pardon me." The Aiilhor wrote the lines following — which wiH he found m the Pueni — and are very exiMcssive of his tragic end — " III meet the fate, to which nrj fully hurried, Dieas a fool, and be by strangers buried."

There are many orchards, which produce very good apples, ami other fruils; gooseberries, currents and sttaubcrries seem to be natives of the Isln, as they are met every- where in abundance. Governor I*alter.si)n and his family arrived a few days after us; 1 have seen him several times; ho seems j;ood natiirod, and fit to Htrngglo with the dillicullies that must attend tho settlement of such an infant colony. A man-of-war, called the IMormaid, touch- ed here; the Captain has gut a lino Lot of 20,000 acres, which has the good remains of a village upon it, withachurch; it was called Prim by the French, but he intends to name it IJelfast, alter a village in Ireland, ( men- tion this circiimstaniio, as I landed on the .--pot, and ate son)0 excellent fruits of his orchard, which thou«5h overgrown wilh weeds, ])roducc plenty, and there appear to be si.x or seven Jiuiidrcd acres of clear land belonging to it: The soil IS very deep in many places of the Island, and must produce hemp and lla.x, but nil looks forlorn, for want of cultivation ; how- ever, the Island must soon wear a new face, if the Proprietors do their duty. There are about three-hundred Settlers come from Eng- land and Scotland this summer; ihoso from Scotland brought a Presbyterian Parson with them, a very good sort ol a man. People that come hither from Europe, should set out in April, to have the summer before them, to provide houses and stock for the winter, which is now beginning to set in. The Island is upwards of 100 iniles long, and about oOor 10 broad, with many fine rivers that intersect tho whijlo, and must make car- riage easy. Hero I am told are no fogs, as on the Continent, which is a good circum- stance. I wish other people were animated wilh the same spirit for Scltlumciits that lam; il'lhnt were the case, I thinli ihis Island, in a lery few years, would make a great figure in the exports of corn, fish, pork, &.c. but am afraid It will bo kept back by people at homo, «ho liavo gut grants without intention of sellling the lands. I am in treaty for half a lot, or 10- ( 00 acres, and expect to get it cheaper than ill had purchased in London. I now act wilh my eyes open, kiiowiiij; the situation and ipia- lity of th(- lands to be goo,!. Wc can iiavc cattle, pigs, .sheep, and good stock from tho Continent, at very easy Ivrms; tlnsc v/ho bring outco.Trse wonlltMix, and other goods 111 for thi=i climate, and an infant colony, must inidie groat profit on them. I would not have peoplo come wiihout some small property, or a know- ledge of husliandry. lishcry, building, Smith's- work, iie. Idle fdks will not do here. Fish, is in ama/.ing plenty all round the Island; tho cod lislii.-ry must be very valuable in time, but my schema you know is farminir.

Now trees and shrubs are borno d I'vn with sparkling congelations, and the coral clusters of the hawlhorn an<l holly, are more splendid, and oiler a ccdd cuiiscrvo tn the waiulciing school-boy. 'J'he Huntsman is ieen riding to covert in his scarlet livery, tlie gunner is heard at intervals in tho uplands, and the courser comes galloping down the liill-sido with his hounds in full chase before him. The farmer's boy, who is forced from his warm bed to imik cows in a cold meadow, complains it's a "bui n • ing" siiaiiie that he slinnld be obliged to go starving by himself, while " their wench" lia.s nothing else to do but make a fire and bod tho tea-kettle. Now, iMrs. Jeramy Helklack, properly so called, inasmuch as the unmention- ahles are amongst her peculiar allributes, wak- ed by the Mail-coach horn, sounding an Inlroit to the day, ordeis her husband, poor fellow, to just get uj) and loid; what sort of a morning it is; and he i;liivering at the bare idco. a!- fccts to be fast asleep, till a second suiiiin ms, accoiTi[)ar.ied by tho heavy contact of ids wile's heavy band, oblii;es him to paddle acr.i^s the cold plaster floor; and the trees and (hitreli- steeples, stars, spears and saws, w liich form ati eleirant tapestry over the windows, seem to iin- thorize the excuse that he " can't see, ' whi'o shivering- over the dressie;;- table, he jioiir.- a stream of visible breath on the (Vo/.cn iianc.

The Waster stands before the fire, like the Colossus of Rhodes, all the morning, to the utter discomfiture of the boya who grumble at the monopoly, and secretly tell one another that they pay for the fire and oiiyht to have the benefit of it. At length ho savH, " you mayj,") boys," whereupon ensues s.ich a paticriug of feet, shuttin/i: of boxes, and Kciamblin^r for hats, as beats Milton's " busy liuin ofiiiL'n" all to iiolhing, till they reach their wonted slide in the yard, where they suddenly Btop on discovering that " that skinny old crea- ture. Bet Fifty the cook" has bestrewed it from end to end with sand and cinders, frost strick- en as it were, they stare at one another, and look unutterable things at the aforesaid " skin- ny old creature; till Jack Turbulent, ring-lead- er-general of all the riots and rebellions, exc- •■rates ' old Hetty cook,' w ith the fluency of a parlour boarder, and hurls a well wrought snow-ball at the Gorgon, who turns round^in a passion to discover the delinquent, when her pattens, unused to such quick rotatory motion, slip from under her feet, and down topples slie| to Iho delight of the urchins around her, who drown her threats and cries in reiterated bursts ol laughter. Now, the Comet stage coach, boaling- alon"- tlio russet-coloured roau, with a long train ("f vapour from the horses' nostrils, looks really like a comet. At the same time, Lubin, who lias been sent to town by his Mistress wiih a I'tter for the post ollice, and a strict injunction to return .speedily, finds it impossible to pass the lilacksmilii's shop where the bright sparks fly liom the for.;o; and he determines, just to stop and look at the bhix.n 'abii', which as he Fays, 'raly does one's eyes good of a winter's morning,' and then ho just blows the bellows abii, and finds it so plensant to listen to the •strokes of Vulcan's wit, and iiis sledgc-haniinor allernalely, that he continues blowing up the lire, till at lengih he reeullects, what 'a blow- ing up' he shall have from his ^Mi.sses' when be gets homo, and forswears the clang of Ij'Ose shoes ami plough irons, ard leavcs^the lemple of the Cyclops, but not willioul a loni'- 104 l.ngerii.g look behind at .Alessrs IJIaze and t'lnipaiiy.

While these are describing innumerable circles, the sliding fra- ternity in another part form parallel lines; each of each class, vies with each other in feats of activity, all enjoy the cxhillirating pastime, and every face is illumined with cheerfulness, the philosophic skater, big with theory convinced as he tells every one h» meets, that the whole art consists in merely in transferring the centre of gravity from one foot to the other, boldly essays a demonstration, and instantly transfers it from both, so as to honor the frozen element with a sudden salute from that part of the bodv which usually gravitates on a chair; and the wits compliment him on the superior know- ledge by which he has broken the ice, and the little lads run to sec 'what a big star the gen- tleman has made, and think it must have hurt him 'al)ove a- bit.' IheditFerent canals are now frozen over, and goods are conveyed by the stage waggon, and 'it's a capital time for the turnpike3;^°and those who can get brandy, drink it, and those who can't drink ale; and those who arc unable to procure cither, do much better without them. And now Ladies have red noses, and tho robin with his little head turned knowingly on one side, presents his burning breast at the parlour window, and seems to crave a dinner from the noontids breakfast. In such a day, the 'Son and Heir' of the gentleman retired from business, bedizens the drawing-room, with heavy loads of prickly evergreen; and bronze candle bearers, porcelain figures, and elegant chimney ornaments, look like prince Malcolm's soldiers at I?iirnliam wood, or cho- rister boys on a holy Thursday: and his 'Ma' nearly falls into hvsierics on discovering the miscliief; and his 'I»a' begins to scold him for being so naughty; and the budding wit aski as he runs out of the room, 'why, don't you know that these are the holy-days? and his Father relates the astonishing instance of of early genius at every club, card party, or vestry meeting for a month to come.

Fiiitiralin .Irilliiiivlic is the method of count- ing and recording numbers by means of little crooked and straight marks called Fi^-iinn <>, Chardrlcr^. Figurative Arithmetic is as great an iiiiprnvoiiciil upon palpable aiitlimetic, as alphabciic writing is upon the rude method of Hieroglyphics or picture writing.

Although the cii)her is said to have no value, that is, no sigullicaiit value, yet it is of essen- tial service in keejiing the other- figures in ihetl^proper places.

And this was tho e.Nsct proportion of what each lur- nislicd for the stranger's ontcrtainmoiit, for, di- viding each loaf into three shares the eight loaves gnvn twenty-four .shares; and as tliuy all fared alike, each person's proportion was a third of tho whole, or eight shares.

First ly, why do they say that Ciod la omnipotent, I do not see him in any place, show me where he is? Secondly ,wliy is man punished for crimes, flincc whatever ho does, proceeds from God.' ^lan has no free will, for he cannot do any thing contrary to the will of God, and if he iiad power he would do every thing for his own good. Thirdly, How can God punish Satan in hell fire oince he ia formed of that element, and what impression can fire make on itself. The Dervice took up a clod of earth ,and struck him on the head with it, the man went to the Cadi and said, I proposed three ques- tions to such a Dervice, who flung such a clod of earth at me as haa made my head ache, the Cadi having sent for the Dervice , asked why did vou throw a clod of earth at his head? in- stead of answering the ([uestion, the Dervice replied, the clod of earth was an answer to the speech, he says ho has a pain in his head , let him show me where it is, and I will make God visible to him, and why does he exhibit a com- plaint to you against me, whatever I did was the act of God, I did not strike him without the will of God, and what power do I possess, and as he is compounded of earth ,how can he suf- fer pain from that element, the man was con- founded, and the Cadi higlily pleased with the answer. The Liai- alarmed. — The Son of an old Far- mer, by some chance or other, had travelled through severol remote countries, and as it is not uncommon in such cases, returning home much richer in lies than in knowledge. A few days after his arrival, he accompanied his Fa- ther (a sensible shrewd old man) to a market some distance from theVillage; it happened that a mastiirdog passed that way, which as soon as the Stripling beheld, "bless mo father" cried he, "this dog puts me in mind of one I saw in my travels, at least as large as the largest oi our cart-horses", what you tell me replies the father gravely, astonishes mo; but don't imagine that in this country, we are wholly without prodigies; by and by we shall come to B bridge, which we shall be obliged to pass, and which is much more extraordinary than the dog of which you have been talking; They say it is the work of a Witch, all I know of it is this, that there is a stone in the middle of it against which one is sure to stumble as he passes on and break at lea«t a leg, if it so happens that one has told a lie in the course of the day. The youth was a little startled at this strangs ac- count. "At wlint a rate you are walking', father ' but to return to this dog, how large did I say ? as your largest horseV Noy for that matter, I believe 1 might be saying a little tuo much ; for I recollect it was but six months old;— but I C would bo upon my oath that it wad as big at a heifer. Here the story rested, till they were a mile or two advanced on their way. The young man was very far from being comforta- ble. The fatal bridge appears at a di.s;aiice, 'Hear me' my dear father: indued the dog of which I have been speaking, was very large but perhaps not quite so large as a heifer; I am sure however, it was larger than a calf" At length they arrived at the font of the bridge, The father passes on, without a word, the son stops short. —"Ah! fiithoi" says he "you can- not bo such a simpleton us to believe that I have seen a dog of such a size; for einco I must needs speak the truth, the dog I mention in my travels was about as big as the dog we saw an hour ago. Inilian sa«;nAhj — An Indian returning homo to his hilt one day, discovered tha' his veni- son, which hud been hung up to dry, had been stolen, and, arter making observation on the spot, ho setofl'in quest of the thief, whom ho tracked through the woods. While thus enga- ged, he met some persons, whom ho asked if they had seen a iilllt old wlvlc man with a shod iXnn .accompanied by a snwll doa; whh a lioh tail! They answered in the allirmative; and on the Indian assuring them that the man thus de- scribed had stolen his venison, they desired to be informed how he was able to give such a minute description of o person ho had never seen. The Indian thus replied: " The thief I know, is a /t/(/e man, by his having made a pile of stones to stand upon, in order to reach the venison from the height I hung it, standing on the ground; that ho is an old man, I know by his short steps, which 1 have traced over the dead leaves in the woods; and that ho is a white Tnan, I know by his turning out his toes when he walks, which an Indian never does, his gun I know to be short, by the mark the muzzle made by rubbing the tree on which it leaned; that his dog is small I know by his tracks;and that he has a hob-iaW, 1 discover- ed by the mark it made in the dust where he was sitting at the time his njastor was taking down the meat. The Monk .—From C.'olloquia et Meditationes &C.M. Luther. A Monk who had introduced himself to the bed side of a dying Nobleman, who was at that time in a slate of insensibili- ty, continued crying out, my Lord will you make a grant of such and such a thing to our Monastery: the sick man unabled to speak nodded his head, the Monk turned round to the Son who was standing in the room and said, you nee, Sir, my Lord your Father, gives his consent to my request, iho Son immediately n<;/<jn|rv.>;^ TTjiU,;;, |u i( VOUT Wiil. tb^t I Kick this Monk down stairs? the usual nod was giv- en, the young man instantly rewarded the -js- siduities of the Monk by sending him with great precipitalion out of the house.

" when this was done he said, nosv n my finger upon them, being told it was, without any more he said; Cod be with you my Child, I have break- fasted wilh you, and shall gup with my Lord Jesus this night, and so he gave up the Ghost. Mr. Jhrveij .Jlitlhnr of the Mcdllaliona — On the morning of his death, his Curate pay- ing him a morning visit, Mr. llorvey, sitting in an easy chair, for he was unabled to lie in bed, said, "Sir, I cannot talk with you to day." He complained much of a great inward con- flict which he had; and, laving his hand on his breast, said Oh. you do n ot kno great a conflict I have;" — and as ho apako, his eyes wero constantly raisod towards hea- ven, and his hands clasped in prayor. Dr. Stonehouso came to liini about 3 hours be- fore he o.f pired ,when lie expatiated on those words: "All things are your's, life and death, for yo arc Christ's." " Here," said he, is the treasure of a Christian. Death is reckon- ed amongst his inventory, and a noble trea- sure it is. How thankful am I for death as it is the passage through which 1 pass to the Lord and giver of eternal lite; ar.d as it frees mo from all this misery you now see me en- dure, and which 1 am willing to endure, as long as God seems fit: for 1 kiuiw he wi'l in his own good time dismiss me from tho body. These liglit alllictions are but for a moment, and then comes an eternol weight ofglury.

The most Hitjh has noltisd up his children from marryinu; but says, "marriage is honourable in all kc." Tho blessed Saviour himself hi)noured a wedding with his presence in Cana ofGallilee, wrought his first iniracl* at it, and niatiii'ested forth hi.s glory, iusomuch, that hisducipiss baliuv- «d on him. But God say " b« not unequally yoked with L'nbeliover''s" If a womaH have a mind to marry, siie IS at liberty to marry only in the Lord; mark that; her liberty is limited — "to marry onlv in tha Lord. I Cor. vii- :30." There ar« biTt two fanailies in this world — the children of God and tho children of the devil, if a dauchtsr of God marries a son of Belial, sha makes h<5r3elf a daughter-in-law to tho devil and by this intamous step labours to bring about an affinity be- tween the INIost High God, and Satan. Wken God broufjht in his bill to the antedelu- Tiaa world, unlawful marriages stood first in the account. "Tha Sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wivss of such as they chose;" and by this they brought on tha dreadful deluge: and you are going to jus- tify them in your proceedings; and, by falling a sacrifice t* their infKuations, you are endeavouring to bring on tha final Conflagration. All tlie plagues, persecutions, woes, and captivi- ties that fsll to Israel's share in the land of Canaan, began with these m'wcA marriages. God has set the miserable match of Sampson as a caution to every believer. But if thy afToctions ara saddled upon an ass, tiiou wilt go on, howorer perverse thy (iroccediiigs may bo, unless the drawn sword of Cijd should appear in thy way. I have showed you the word of the L )rd, which is the sword of the spi- rit and if you rush upon the point of that sword, ex|)ect to pierce yourselfthrough with many sorrows. l,ot me dissect the hypocrisy of thy heart. V'ou FRV he is a person of great property. This springs t'ri);ii thecuised root of c ivetousness — "They that will be rifh fall iute temptations and a snare, Stc." As for his beauty, that is skin deep, and lays at the mercy of a cold or fever. ,Iacob paid dear fur this fading article, fourteen years hard labour, rnan" cutting disappointments, and her beau'y was hing balanced with u reproachful barrenness. -Vnd Hs her beiiuty was a kind of rival to God. he per- mitted Jacob iiiinseif to denounce her death in tiie fiie ol'her uwii futher; " with whsinaoever th «u I findest thy goils, let him not lira Gen xxxi. i'2 " Jtschel had hid tham; and God took Jacob at his word, and sent the first arrow of death to tiia beautiful object. God likewisa tntangled her in her own words. When she said to Jacol), giv6 nia children or I die. God gave her a child, a Benoni; a son of har sorrow, and she diad in bringing hint forth. "You verily believe that ho will bo convertrd to God." Yes a likely matter, that God shouUl convert a man to satisfy your desires, and nurse your rebellion against his word. I know you wil make a convert of him, rather than bo disappointed "He goes with you to hear tlis gospel, and ;ip- provesofit " No doubt ol" that ; and hts will aji- ptar to get a "^roat deal ot' comfort iVoin it too, while you ara parched at his right hand, I will now shew you what will befall you in ffis latter days. First you will not find Christ at tiio wedding, yet you will not ba comfortless; tor yoor comforts will spring from another quarter; a ul while these last, you will hold up your head. 15 at when tho honey month is oTcr, you will think abo ut turning to your first husband again saying, it was better with ma then than it is now.

When your husband sees this, it will provoke him to jealousy; your coldness will (|uicken his malice; and the devil telling him that your rcli^jioii is th* cause, he will then appear in liis proper colo.irs cur.sc your prol'ession, and take up the cudgels agaiaatyou; and then yau may expect to go ail tlia rast of tho way with a corpse strapped at your ba-n , I know this letter will not please yon; it is a purgu fur your consciance; however you will seek coiin- sel from some other prol'essor who will a|)prove ul' vour measures, and then my luttcr will hava no weight till alter the wadding is over. 1 do not e.vpect an answer to this, as it is si wide to your purpisc.

Nothing can be more detrimental to the or- ga n of sight than the clumsy practice of Watch makers holding a glass by squeezing the or- bicularis muscle, — which cannot be done without distorting, and distressing, nnd much injuring the mechanism of the eye. Fiom Rammazilni oi the Difrase.i of Tradesmen, I would advise certain Workmen (such as Engravers &.c.) not only to uie spectncleg but to intermit from their work now and then and rcfiesh their eyes by diversity of objects. For we can't ima-ine how much the mobility af the membranes of the eyea, and the na- tive fluidity of the humours, is kept up by viewing divers objects; some near at hand, some remote, some directly, others obliquely; and, in hnc, all manner of ways; for by this means the natural disposition of the cyo is preserved, so that the ball ia sometimes con- tracted, and sometimes dilated; and the Crys- talline Humour approaches more or less to the I'upilia, according ad,th© remoteness or nearness of tho object req-uires. Without thin diversity ofaction, the eyes undergo the same fate with the other parts, that by being Ion" detained in one position, grow stiA'anll unlit for motion'. Onrco'linghy Camlh TJs^ht. rir, KItrhnrr At night use a Reading Candlestick or a T.amp with a shade to shield tho eye from the glare of light; which is of much greater assistance to tho sight than those who have not tried it can imagine: —One candle so sha- ded will enable a person to see better than two v.'ithout such a sh-adc. The optic nerve inevitably adpjsts itself to the nenre.jt object, wliich therefore should be that which it is its business to attend to, nn'^ the f.iime of acandle, but the book you' are' reading. .i Viihil C'aulhn.
