'durin^ a residence from June 18th

& to August 11th, 1820, at the Cape of ^Good Hope, by Thomas George /•Love,"—published in Buenos Ayres: ^Foreigners of all nations are- domesticated in cape town Frenchmen,

Germans, Italians, &c, afid even /tjYorth Americans. A. gentleman ^of the latter state, (arnt-i^regret that I cannot recollect his name) has ''"^gained much esteem for the follow'Aing occurrence —He commanded an

American privateer, last war, (I think .lthe Rambler) and made a considerable sum of money in captures from

lie had taken a British merchant vessel in the latitude of the 'Caie. and went himself in a boat to .t-:1ake possession. On boarding, al-3--'most the first object that met his *V'eye was a beautiful woman in tears, (the captains wife. "A woman's tears are more fatal han our swofrds,'' .-at least the American seemed to feel -something of this Addressing the •afflicted lady, he stated that he had only boarded to hear the news, and have the pleasure of a glass of wine tvi'h the captainN^He proceeded to the cabin, and after the lady had retired, told her husband that although by the laws of war, the vessel was made a prize, yet a sight of so much distress would not allow him to proceed to extremeties. 'I aking pen. ink a and paper, he madeover all claim on the vessel to the' fair crcature who •m liadso inierested him. at Shortly after this event the war dosed, and the privateer came into tii Table Bay. The intelligence of his generosity had preceded h:m, &. upon passing a British frigate anchored in the Bay, the band, in compliment, struck up the air of "Yankee Doo*

I die" The los'tly'*Niobe" who had "•M thus softened tire heart of the rough sailor, was brought -to bed at the

Cape, and the child named after her benefactor. The American told me he felt more real pleasure at this, than the value oT the prize could pos•\f sibly have given him. Privateersinen are generally repv.ted to be so hard hearted and mercenary, that one would hardly believe this detail. 1 Vet it is well authenticated at the

Cape, and I feel the greatest pleasure in relating it.I had the happiness of knowing the individual whose conduct was at-Ance so delicate and fi'liumane." 1 •".:f j«The person of whom this honora-

ble anecdote is told, was Captain Ot ^taway Burnes, oi. Beaufort, North ^Carolina.

Sohbnth School (tnPcd'.iP. The su*Tpf:rititendent of a Sabbajth School, in ":.'Tnakit»g some remarks to the Schol--y.sxrs, adverted to the pernicious ten--dfi.rv of acquiring a desire for ardent •^spirits and earnestly entreated his youthful hearers to avoid this vice lie particularly cautioned them a gainst accepting, even if offered by their own parents, the last part of a glass, so frequently presented to children, containing to much sugar as to remove the naturally disagreeable taste of the liquor. Not long after this, a father, a I filiation father (can sveh lure their own children to de-

Hlnirtion!) offered his little son-the k? remains of a glass of toddy :~'*No, pa." said the young abstinent, "I can't drink it, for Mr. told us .we must not drink rum, evenrif our fathers did make it sweet witii- sugar for us." And it is pleaftiijg«/act, that there has been no rum drunk in that family since—Christian Watchman.

PROPOSALS

For publishing, at Madison, Indiana A RELIGIOUS PERIODICAL PAPER TO BE ENTITLED

THE INDIANA

Religious Intelligencer

THK object of the contemplated paper is the same with that of other religious newspapers of the present day via. to furnish those, who feel an interest in the advancement of the Redeemer's Kingdom, with such intelligence as they desire. As the necessity of this publication may be doubted by some, on account of the number of papers of this kmd already in existence, it is deemed important distinctly to state, that it is not the design or wish of the persons concerned in the paper now proposed, that it should interfere with the circulation of those already existing Their sole object is to place the desired intelligence within the teach of persons who would otherwise remain destitute of it. The fact is notorious that many professed christians, who ought to prefer Jerusalem above their chief joy," permit themselves to remain in utter ignorance of the glorious things which God is now doing for his church and the reason tbay assign fortius, is that want of means to furnish themselves with religious newspapers. And owing to the difficulties and embarrasments necessarily attending persons settling in a new country, this cxcusf* may be urged by many perhaps, with much propriety. The design of the contemplated paper is to obviate, as far as possible, this objection. It will be published every tivo iveeks, on a half sheet, so that it may be afforded on terms suited to the circumstances of those who consider themselves usable to take more expensive papers It is hoped that enough interesting matter may he found in its pages amply to repay those who may peruse them, and enough to excite Sf cherish in their hearts a d^cp interest for the prosperity of Zion.

The Indiana Religious Intelligent cer will be conducted by a committee appointed by the Madison Presbytery, and published every two weeks on a half sheet, in a quarto fo/m. The price will be seventyfive ceots, if paid in advance, or within two months after the firs number is published or one dollar if paid at the end of the year. The paper will be commenced as tfobn as a sufficient number of subscribers shall be obtained to justify the un dertaking.
