ROBERT MORRIS.
It has often been asked, “ Who were the
favorites of Washington? whom did he love?”
I answer. the most worthy. Wa~liint.ttnn liv-
etl for his country, and for her so intich did
he " live and move,” and almost “have ltis
“being.” that when he loved a man, that man
mil.-. love his country.

his .l.laepliestioo, yet such was his delicacy in
bestowing praise, even where iiiosttle~etVe(3r
that he declined the mentioning of Greene S

It has beeti thought that certaiii vivacious
per-sonages, as Governor Morris, and General
Henry Lee, were in the habit of takiiig libel V
ties with the Ciiicf. Around the Ftttliet 0'
his Country, his virtues and character created
an atmosphere ofawe and veneratioml" “’l}"=l‘
undue familiarity could not have existed fora
moment. No inert living were nrore arilently
allilcllffflilo the Chief than the Revolutionary
Statcsinati and distinguished officer alluded
to. They possessed brilhaiit talents, had ren-
dered conspicuous services,and. were the most
pleasurable companions of their time. PIIESP
considerations, together with the absence oi
restraint at the private parties of the Presi
dent,gave riseto the idea that there were cer-
tain characters who could approach wiihotit
reserve, and even toy with the passive lion.-—-
Bill the lioti, though passive. was the lion Silli-
He could always be approaclied, and some
mines in sportive mood, but not so near =-s to
Jay hand upon his mane.
It’ I am ask».d—-And did not Vlfashingtoii
unbend and admit to familiarity, and social
|'ri.:-imsrii,-, sortie one person,to whom age and
long arid interesting associtittons g We peclllt
iar privilege, the privilege of the heart? I
‘answer, that favouretl individual was Robert
Morris. '
The General in Chief ofthe Arniiesof In
dependeirce, in the relief afforded to the pri-
vaijous of his suffering soldiery. first learned
the Value of Robert Morris. It Was him W110
brought order out of chaos, and whose talent
and credit sustained the cause of his country
in her worstof times. Virtties and services
like tliese endeared their possessor to the pa
ternal chief, in whose heart the financier of
the revolution held air esteem which neither
time nor misfortune could alter or impair.
Mr. Morris was ever a guest at the priv_att=.
and select parties of the President. So mllt‘h
was this a matter of course, that the steward,
having placed Mr. M.’s favourite wine at the
plate immediately on the right~of the‘Chiel,
would repair to the dwelling oi Morris, and
observe-—“ The President dines with a select
party offriends to-day,and expects your cout-
any as usual.”
When Mr. Morris first engaged in those
speculations which terminated so I]lil‘la|)pll_y,
Vr'-asliington, with the privilege of sincere
friciidship, remonstrated, observin:.'. “YOU are
old and had better retire. rather than engage
in such extensive concerns.” Morris replied,
“ Your advice is proof of that wisdorrr and
prudence which govern all your‘ words and
actions; but my dear General, I can never do
things in the small ; I must be either a man
ora mouse.” -
In 1798, when the Lieutenant-General amt
Conitnaoder in Chief repaired to Philadel-
phia to superintend the organization of his
lastarmy, iinniiiidful of the dignity, wealth
and splendor which crowded to greet his arri-
val, he paid his first visit to the prison house
and Robert Morris. The old man wrong the
hand of the Cbiefin silence, while his teartiii
eye gave the welcome to such an home. The
mouse was, indeed, in his iron botiud cage ,-
but, in the United States of America, tor Rn
bert Morris to have been imprisoned, in char-
acter, the bars should have been qfgold. How
is this, Americans? Is it not the coiidemna-
ticn of Manlius on the Capiioline Hill: a
crime which the heathen Roinair dared not
commit. The financier oi the revolution,
tvlio.-e talent,wbose credit sustained the cause
of his country in that couiitry’s utmost need.
‘Whatever may have b--en his inisfortunes, say
his laults,did not his generous services “ plead
like angels, trumpet tongtied, against the deep
ti -.innation” qfsttch an homefor his age. And
wheii broken hearted, ,,penn_'.-less, friendless
and forgotten, his grey hairs descended in
sorrow to the grave, how was the last (lljty
paid to him we owed so much. How many
of those who had basked in the suti--llilic of
his prosperity,fed at his ever. hospitable board,
and thank of his ever flowing cup, followed
his hearse. VVliere were the corporate bod-
-,e_,.__w,,e,e the mug (rains ofyouth who tvere
led up to pay their last homage to the repub-
Zic’s bentfaclor.
Another, and most valued friend of the
trier, was Nelson, of Vii‘gittliii- He Slglled
the Declaration ofludeptandence, and was a
patriot, statesman and soldier.
At the commencement of the war of the
Rt volution, General Nelson possessed a noble
fo.tune; he lavished it in the cause of liberty.
From his personal virtues, he had the most
eoinrnanding influence in the State ; he exer-
ted it in rallying her sons, .wlien a powerful
foe invaded lier soil. His weight of character
enabled him to unlock the coffers of avarice,
and give their hoards to the aid of his country,
wire,“ mag country had neither,a dollar in her
trea.-nry, nor credit to obtain one. His plough
war, let] in the furrow, that his horses might
drag otir munitions of war ; and when IDVIIBII
_ -by Lafayette, to point the guns of a new bar
tcry at York,he directed them against the best.
. fall mansion, and was supposed’ to contain the
enemies of his country. Such ‘were the vir-
tues and services of'I‘homas Nelson. Having
liV8d to witness the consuruinaiion of that in-
dependence, which his pen had signed and
his sword had earned, he closed.-his eyes in
P‘-‘-908. leaving a very numerous" family, and a
fortune greatly impaired,by the vast sacrifices
he had made’ for American liberty. And will
the ./imerican reader believe, that the widow
of such a patriot and such a man, lives in Vir-
ginia—that very Virginiapn which the name
and character of Nielsen sheds unfading lustre
_—that this venerable relict_ now on the verge
ofliuman life, blind and poor, I]-IS ye to learn
whether an emancipated country can bejusl,
more than forty years not having sufiiced to
shew them whether'it can be grateful.

“I CAN DO WlI‘HOU'I‘ IT.”
This is one ofthe nest mottos in the world.
or one ofthe worst, according to the meaning
attached to it; which will appear from the
conduct oftwo yotiug people who were ac-
quainted with each other, each of whom hap-
pened totake the above sentence into frequent
rise. Eliza disliked and ridiculed the irrati-
ner in ivlticb it was applied by Ruth ; and
Ruth could not but disapprove ofthe way i
which it was rised by Eliz. . The purpose to
which Ruth appropriated the words, and the
way in which‘she came to adopt them as her
irrotto, shall be explained in the present pa
per. °--
Her parents were personsofsuperior educa-
tion, but their income was linrited and narrow;
so that they were compelled by circumstan-
ccs, as well as inclined by their good sense, W
study economy. Ruth entered into the pen-
dent and sensible views of her parents at an
early age; and tier general conduct gave
them so uruclt satisfaction, that on the day
she was fourteen, her‘ mother info-'ineti her
that from tha' time, she should be entrusted
with the purchase and entire mauageiiieiit of
her dress, and that tier annual allowance
.tt)lllCl be increased accordingly. The sum
-now allotted to her was .such as her mother
fconsidered sufficient, with priitlence and irrati-
agt-merit to meet all her real wants and teas
unable wishes.
When Ruth received her fiI5t. qttarterage,
the possession of a sum of money so inuchlar
gel‘ than she had ever -been mistress of before,
llllltlt.‘ tier feel a little giddy. l“_il)\V(’.Vefi Slit‘
dt-posited it safely in her desk, resolving not
to rout.-li lI until it was really wanted. l:‘.con-
omy. her mother told her, did not. consist in
grudging to supply ~iUl‘ wants, but to restrain:
ing the desire for stipr-.i'fltiitir:.s. Not many
days after Slli’ had entervd upon this new it‘
sponsibilirv, Ruth ?CC()lllp'-illlE:Cl her father Sb
mother t-- a neighboring inarktet town, \‘\liel‘ti
they frequently went to make purchases, as
they lived in the country. She had often been
with them on former occasions; but it was
. in h sensations etltirely new that she now
walked through the busy streets of this town,
and passed its long rows of well fttrnished
sllops. Herc-toforc she had surveyed the va
iious tempting articles they exhibited merely
as an arousing spectacle ; and with no more
idea of possessing any oftlicin than one has
or possessing tne curiosities of a museum.——
Buinotv circumstatices were altered. lrlcrc
were tntngs,arid pretty things too, that she
tniglrt have if she pleased. And this tlrought,
notwitlistair ling R.utli’s prndeiit temper and
good resolutions, presented itself to her mind
ternptingly
The first thing that struck her as :1 rudde-
szdetatirm was a steel purse, of wlricli she 1-.a~i
so-veral glittering iii a jewelit-.i"s windt:'.v.——
There were also silver ones, btrt ol'tli_esi- site
did not allow tierselfto tliitrk. A new pu*‘se,;
now that Sllellliltl so so iiruch more to do Willi
money, appeared very suitable for a first_pur-
cliase.
“ Marita,” ;:aid she, touclring her itrothcr’.~
c:-lbow, “ would you stop one minute 3’ I think
Islioultl like one of those purses.” Her mo
t..er, who was aware that this day’s CTXCUTSIHI:
would prove rather trying to her dangliter’s
prudence, replied, “ yes,I will stop a minute;
I)-li we will wait here, that you may lravetitzie
to consider before you go in, whether you
want a new purse.” " To be sure,” said
I.‘I.ttlll, after a tnomcnt’s thought, “ I have my
old one but then all well, 1 can do with-
out ic,”slie added ; and without giving anu
titer look at the shop window, she liasteired
on.
“ Now,” said her mother, “y in have SaV(‘tl
five or six shillings by that inoment’s consid-
Blrlllllll.”
At this titne beaver hats, trimmed with sa-
tin, were much worn. There was a capital
trailer in the town, where two large bow win-
rtows, furnished with every variety of shade
and shape to suit all fancies, caught the eye
ol'=he fair passenger ; sortie loaded with nod-
ding plumes, others with most becoming pink
satin linings, and trimmings of muslin ; airtl
some with broad embossed bands, and dang-
ling tassels.
“ Mamma,” said Ruth, again, as they pas-
sed the sliop, “ would you stop one nrinute ?
don’t you tirinkabeaver hat would be very
warin and comfortable for me this winter ?—
and besides, how it would save my straw !_
That is a very pretty one, is it not ? just my
Kize I should think; shall we go in and en-
quire the price ?”
" If you wish it we will,” replied her mo-
ther; so they entered the shop ; where a gen-
teel dressed lady was then in the act of pur-
chasing one of tire very same shape. Ruth
seeiiig this, jogged her mother, that she might
notice such a sanction to tier own chore.-.-
f‘hey now inquired the price of the article in
(IIIHSIIOIL
“ That hat, ladies; is o.ie guinea, only,”
said the shop keeper.
Ruth darted an inquiring look at her mo-
ther I0 know Wlit’-lliei‘ she thought it cheap or
dear.
“ You recollect your straw hat, I suppose
my dear,” said her mother. “ Straws,ma"am,”
interrupted the shop keeper “ are new con
sidered unconrrnonfy common ;--quite out, in
fact. We have a surprising demand f.ir nea
vers at the present timegour inatiufacttirt-.i'
assures me he cannot get them made up fast
ttitiitigll.”
I{utti’s respect for beavers and contempt of
strains were wonderfully heightened by thi.
speech.
“ Allow me ma’am,” contintied he, “ to re-
commend the young lady to try it on.” Ruth,
-.-.-.otving this would be a hazardous expert
..n~..-tr, again looked at her tirotller ; site then
house in town, because it was his own patern-
reflected a moment; (which it must be con-
4
fessed is it tliflicult thing to do dispassionately’
in :1 room full ofhats -ind bonnet’s ';) aitd then
whispered to her mother, “ I wish we had not
come in, for after all, I can do without zt."——-
“I am sorry we have givenyou any trouble,
sir,” said her mother to the shop keeper, “ I
believe we shall not purchase one this niorn-
in .” -
The shop keeper bowed coldly ; and whe-
ther he or Ruth felt most disappointed, it
would be hard to determine. .
Soon afterwards, tier mother had occasion
to go to the stationer’s. His shop displayed a
great variety of articles ofdiffererit sorts and
valtie, from toys to telescopes. After looking
about for some time, Ruth said to her mother
"I im very glad I did not buy a beaver hat,
hoiv much better it would be to have sonic-
,thing that would last.’ See, are not these
pretty l” added she, pointing to some small
plated inkstttnds, “ they are only fifteen shtl
hugs, I find.” Her mother smiled. “ Ali,
you are thinking of my writing .d95k 3 Yell’
true ; I can certainly do williout 13;” °°"“""'
ed Ruth ; and with this consideration she got
safely out ofthe shop. \
Her mother had now finished her business
in this town ; btit as they were lelumlllg W
the inn, a pastry cook’s window reminded
Ruthofa new wan. “ M3’=Ima” ~-he Stllds

“ I thought you brought some biscuits in
your basket,” said her mother. “ 'l‘til8_, 501

When they reached the inn, the Chaise "01
being ready, Rutli’s mother drew out her pen
cil and wrote something on the back ofa bill,
WIIICII she then handed to liei daughter, say-
ing, “see, my dear,ifI have cast this up tight-”
Ruth took the paper and read the following
account.

Ruth smiled, and said, " yes, triairima, it is
quite rit._-,lit, and ifit had not been for you -I
.ould have been quite wrong.” “ Nay Ruin”
replied her mother, " I iiinst give you some
credit this morning, for having yielded so ea-
sily to my suggestions; prudence does not
cotrsist in not being tempted, but in notyield-
mg to temptations. Yes you have saved at
least 221. 9.5. 4d.this tiiortiing by the timely
me of a few simple words ; and I think they

litl, " I can do without it :?’ this shall be my
ttititio; I will write it ontlie lid of my money
box ; it is an excellent motto, inaintna !”
When Ruth retnructl home, she was pleas-
ed to think not only that she had saved her
iuoney, but that not one of the articles she
had wished for was really needed. She now
congratulated lierselftliat, to the mere plea-
surc ofuovelty, which would ltave lasted bill
a few hours, she had not sacrificed a sum
which would, by and by, purchase things that
she would really want, anti that she could not
do without. Unnecessary expenses always

H AER CUT PIN G.
Stare not, gentle reader, at seeing this word
,at the head ol':.n article in a medical journal.
We have been accused ofusina terms unin-
telligible to common readers ; we venture to
.is.<.ert that no such objection can be urged to
the term l-lair-ctittiiig. Every body under-
stands its meaning, though most persons are
not aware in what way in can affect every
borly’s health. '
In a previous volume of our paper. we have
spoken of the effects of the hair on the aninia
spirits ; a word or two at present on the in
liiience it exerts over the body. In lrair-cut
ttiig, as in every thing else, there is always a
fashion at whose shrine health may be easily
to shorten the hair, but to thin it out, and to
the dexterity with which this operation was
-.|Bl‘l.(fl'lll€(l, we looked for the evidence of
3 ill on the part of the artist. For a long se-
ries ofyears this fashion prevailed. The air
was thus allowed access to the head,evapora-
rion went on freely, and the matter of perspi-
ration not being confined, was not compelled
to concrete and ac-cutnulate around the roots
of the hair. This commendable practice no
doubt derived its origin from thejust and ad-
uiirable doctrine of one of the Fathers of
Medicine who comprised the great rules of
hygiene in these three—lr:eep the fleet warm,
the bowels open, and the head cool. These
wonderfully comprehensive and salutary di-
rcctions were followed implicitly until our
own day ; but we, in the phrenzy of fashion,
have fallen frotii the faith of our fathers. In
stead ofthe thick-soled shoes and borne-knit
stockings of fortncrtitnes, silk and prunella
are the only protection allowed to the feet.-—
Ice creams and cogtiiac.i",_e a sore deviation
irorii the second and rig,-.,fhe least important
ofthe rules, and to complete our apostacy the
hull‘ dresser has entirely abandoned the small
scissors, and it is the universal fashion to have
the hair as thick as it will grow. It is fre-
quently shortened only to make it grow the
thicker, and the macassar oil and many other
such nostruriis find a ready sale for the pur-
pose ol'eft'ecting the same object.
By this mode of dressi-rg the hair, it must
be evldprit to every one that a degree of heat
is tnaintaiiied in the head which is unfavora-
ble to health. The ma.ter of perspiration
roncretes around and fills up the pores, and
the cooling effects of a free evaporation of
the secreted fluids are entirely ‘ost. Add to
this the uncleairliness ofthe practice and the
manifest disadvantage which ntust result from
airy occasional exposure, and which might -
have been prevented by keeping the head lia-
brtually cool, and no observing or sensible
man can be induced to sublnit to the present
style ofhair-cutting. We would gladly say
more on this subject-ifwe thought by so doing
-we could restore the good old practice of thin-
ning out the hair :’ but our readers will be led
u_) what we have already remarked, to re
flectseriously on this subject, and if each
one exerts his individual influence, we may
hope ere long to close up this avenue to dis-_
e35e_s_ '
sacrificed. Once it was custotnary not only ‘

of his manuscript to Dr. Franfln ff)!‘ his 1"‘
spection and opinion. The following is ‘an
answer of that great Philosopher and Patriot:
Dear Slr—~I have read your manuscript
with some attention. By the afgumem ‘E
coniains against a particular Providence; lh°
you allow a general Providence, you strike at
the foundation of all Religion. For without
the belief of a Providence that takes cogniz-
ance of, guards and guides, and favours par-
ticular persons, there is no motive to W0|'5ll}P
a Deity, to fear its displeasure, or to play l_°'
its protection. I will not enter into any dis-
cussion of your principles, though Y0!’ Seem
to desire it. At presentl shall only give Y0“
my opinion, that though your reasoiiings are
subtle, and may prevail with some readers,
you will not succeed so as to change the gen
eral sentiments of mankind on that subiecla
and the consequence of printing this piece
will be, a great deal of odium-draw" "P0"
yourself, mischief to you, and no benefit _to
others. He that spits against the wind sl’”5
in his own face. But were yet) to succeed,(lo
yoti imagine any good will be done by it_ 5’-
You yourself may find it easy to live a virtu-
ous life without the assistance afforded by re~
ligion ; you have a clear perception of the ad-
vantages nfvitttre, and the disadvaiitages of
vice. and possess a strength of resolution suf-
ficicut to enable you to resist coitinion tempt-
ations. But think how great a portitm Of

and women, and of inexperienced: l“°°““d‘
erate youth,.of both sexes, who have “Bell "{
tlieniotives of Religion to restrain them from
vice, to support their virtue, and retain them
in the practice of it till it. beconies habllttflh
which is the great point for its security. .-Sud
perhaps you are indebted to her llflglnallya
that is, to your religious education, lot the
habits of virtue upon which you now Jtlstly
value yourself. You might easily di.~plaj
your excellent talents of reasoning upon a leis
hazardous subject, and thereby obtain a rank
with our most distinguished authors. For a-
inong us it is not necessary, as among the
Hottentots, that a youth to be raised into the
company of men, should prove his manhood
by beating his mother. I w «uld advise _Y‘“‘«
therefore,not to attempt unchaining the tiger,
but to burn this piece before it is seen by am)’,
other person, wltereby you will save yourself
a great deal of rnortification from the enemies
it may raise against you, and perhaps a go’-til
deal of regret and repentance. If men are so
wicked with Religion, what would they be
-without it? I intend this letter itself as a

profession to it ; but simply subscribe yours,
