THE VILLAGE CLERGYMAN.
From goldsmith.
N . c
EAR yonder copse, where once the garden
'ffofl'd,
And still where many a garden flower grows
wild ;
There where a fe„qrn fhrube the place disclose,
The village preacher's modest mansion rose.
A man he was to all the country dear,
And passing rich with forty pounds a year.
Remote from towns he ran his godly race,
Nor e'er had chang'd, nor wffh'd to change his
place.
trapraaifed he to fawn, or feck for power
By doctrines fashion'd to the varying hour :
Far other aims his heart^ad learn'd to prize—
More fkill'd to raise the wretched than to rife.
His house was known to ail the vagrant train,
He chid their wanderings,hut reliev'd their pain.
The long-remember'd beggar was his guest,
Whole heard; defcending,fwept his aged bread;
The ruin'd fpendthrift, now no longer proud,
Claim'd kindred there, &had bifclaim allow'd;
The broken soldier, kindly hade to stay,
Sat by his fire, and talk'd the niQt away,
Wept o'er his wounds, or tales onorrow done,
Shoulder'd his crutch, and fhew'd how fields
were won.
Pleas'd with his guest, the good man learn'd to
' glow,'.
And quite forgot their vices in their woe ;
Careless their merits or their faults to scan.
His pity gave, e'er charity began.
Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride ;
And ev'n his failings lean'd to virtue's fide.
But in his duty prompt at every call,
He watch'd and wept, he pray'd agd felt for all;
And as a bird each fond endearment tries
To tempt her new fledg'd offspring to the Ikies,
He try'd each art, reprov'd each dull delay,
Allur'd to brighter worlds, and led the may.
Beside the bed where parting life was laid,
And sorrow, guilt, and pain by turns difmay'd,
The rev'rend champion flood. At his control,
Despair and anguish fled the struggling foul,
Comfort came down, the trembling wretch to
raise,
And his last, falt'ring accents whifper'd praise ;
At church, with meek and unaAfted grace,
His looks adorn'd the venerable place ;
Troth from th lips, prevail'd w ith double sway,
And fools, who came to feoff, remain'd to pray.
The service pad, around the pious man,
With ready zeal, each' honed rustic ran ;
E'en children follow'd with endearing wile,
And pluck'd his gown, to share the good man's
smile.
His ready smile a parent's, warmth exprefs'd ;
Their welfare pleas'd him,&their cares diftrefs'd ;
To them his heart, bis love, his griefs were giv'n,
But all his serious thoughts had red in heav'n.
As some tall cliff, that lifts its awful form,
Swells from the vale,& midway leaves the storm,
Though round its bread the rolling clouds are
spread,
Eternal sunshine fettleson itshead.
MORALS—No. 472.
TO merit the esteem of men, it is fufficieot to
be able to regulate our actions according to
the civil laws of society ; but to render ourfclves
beloved, they must be embellished with delicacy
and grace. Adis of humanity, goodness of heart,
and greatmefs of foul, necessarily attra& refpedl ;
but even these do not always ensure happiness.
Happiness is a continual exchange of benefits
given and received, and'may be found in an un
interrupted repose of the foul and calm of the
sense—Such situations are easily imagined, but
seldom realifed ; yet by persisting in the search
of them they are sometimes found. Like the
painter, who, to imitate nature, defaces a hun
dred times his firft Sketch, confiders and exam
ines in difficult lights the object he wishes to
copy, and when he has cut it in the true point
of view easily gives its likenefs;—Thus man,
affected in alively manner by every thing
around him, is ruffled by various obje&s, till ex
amining, and by degrees difeevering the truth,
he becomes the matter of his paffibns. The prin
cipal causes of our misfortune arise from the sen
sibility of the h art, and the caprices of the mind.
The great and important labor to be performed
is to moderate this sensibility, when our desires
will soon become less lively, and our caprices less
frequent. ,'

AN AMICABLE SUIT.
TNthe canton of Schwitz, many years ago, a
1 person named Frantz came one evening to
Gaspard, who was working in his field, and said
to him, 'Friend, it is now mowing time ; we
have a difference about a meadow; you know
that I have got the Judges to meet at Schwitz,
to determine the cause, since we cannot do it for
ourselves: So you must come with' me to-mor
row.' 'You fee, Frantz,' replied Gaspard,
"that I have mown all this field, I must get in
this hay to-morrow—l cannot pcffibly leave it?
' And' replied Frantz, ' I cannot fend away the
Judges now they have fixed the day ; and besides
one ought to know whom the field belongs to
before it is mown :' At length Gaspard said to
Frantz, 'I will tell you how it shall be; go to
morrow to Schwitz', tell the Judges both your
reasons and mine, and then there wilLbe ho need
for meto go.' 'Well, said the other, 'if you
choose to trpft your case t@te,l will manage it
as jf it were my own.' Matters thus fettled,
Frantz wentto Schwitz, and told the Judges his
own reasons, and Gaspard's as well as he could,
(for the inhaSitant^of the canton did hot enjoy
the advantages of lawyers jn those days, and
were obliged to plead their causes themfJves.
When fentehee had be^frftoSotinded, Frantz
came again to Gaspard; 'Gafpard.' said he,
'thefield is yours—l congratmia t«you neighbor;
the Judges have, decided for, you, and I am very
glad the affair is fitlifted.' And Frantz and Gas
pard were friends ever afterwards,
