Ha (lnmemory, bail! in thy cxhauftlefs mine
From age to ageuunumber'd treasures thine !
Thought and her lludowy brood thy call obey,
And Place and Time are fubjedt to thy sway!
Thy pleasures most we ftcl, when most alone ;
The only pleafurcs we can call out own.
Lighter than air, Hope's summer-visions die,
11 but a fleering cloud obfeure the sky;
If but a beam ol fobcr Reason play,
Lo, fancy's fairy froth-work melts away'!
But can the wiles of Arc, the grasp of Power,
Snatch the rich relics of a wcll-fpent hour ?
Thefe,when the trembling spirit wings her flight
Pour round her path a dream of living light ;
And gild those pure and perfect realms of rest.
Where Virtue triumphs, and her sons are bleft.

MOKALS—No. 473.
r I™HIS world by some is considered as a place
X deflitute of every kind of real pleasure,
and where nothing but sorrow awaits the un
fortunate children of men. Life by them is
reckoned a fcafon in which we experience little
clfe than vexation, where happiness can never
be found, and where every hope or expectation
will be inevitably bladed by disappointment.
Yet, if when the mind is calm and peaceful we
impartially examine our situation, we (ball find
that our present date is far from being so un-
Tappy as is imagined, and that whether we en
joy life or not, depends for the most part on our
conclude and disposition. To the heart which is
calm and cheerful, Nature constantly appears
agreeable; on every fide new beauties will spring
up to delight it, and every pleasure, however
trifling,"Will krieaft afford it some gratification.
But if the disposition is splenetic and impatient,
it will ever find some cause for difeontent and
ill humor; to it every joy will be incapable of
affording any facirfadfion, and each object, tho'
ever so inviting, will appear enveloped in dark
refs and gloom.

Revenge.
The Favorite of a Sultan threw a done at a
poor Dervife who had requeued an alms. The
fruited Santon dare not complain, but carefully
searched for and preserved the pebble, promis
ing himfalf that he should find an opportunity,
sooner or later, to throw it in his turn at this
imperious and pitiful wretch. Some time after,
he was told the favorite was disgraced, and by
order of the Sultan, led through the streets en
a camel; exposed to the insults of the populace.
On hearing this, the Dervife ran to fetch his
pebble; but after a moment's reflection, cast it
into a well, " I now perceive," said he, " that
we ought never to seek revenge when our ene
my is powerful, for then it is imprudent; nor
when he is involved in calamity, for then it is
mean and cruel."

Effed of a Cosmetic.
A very curious occurrence lately took place
at the bath of Badenin Austria. A lady, who
was remarkable for the beauty of her complex
ion*, repaired to the baths in an elegant neglige.
She had hardly dipped her hands into the water;
before she perceived that they were become
perfectly black. She was unable to account for
this; but determined not to expose herfclf to
the laughter of her companions, (he retired to a
corner of the bath, and undreft herfelf, intend
ing to waih off the bheknefs when she got in
to the water, in which she immediately jumped
up to her chin. On coming out of the water,
Arc found her bosom, her neck and part of her
chin, metamorphosed into those of a negro's.
This dreadful event occasioned the greater con
flernation in her mind; and she called in the
assistance of her friends; but it was many days
before they could succeed perfectly in walking
the black-a-more white. The cause of the phe
nomenon is well known to alchemists, to be in
the property of the Baden waters, of blackening
all metals; and the lady had been employing
cosmetics, into the competition of which metal
ic substances had entered.

A MARRIED Lady lately consulted her
lawyer on the following queftion—^cfe, “ As
1 wedded Mr. T—for his estate, and that estate
is now spent, am I not to all intents and purpo
ses, a wifo and at liberty to marry again ?
THOSE ladies whose husbands bestow cor
reaions too freely will be glad to hear of a cure.
At Barking in Effex,whenever a fiflierman beats
his wife, his neighbours empty a sack ot chaff
at the door. The husband is so roasted; asked
by every one, "So you was a ttrafeing last
night I fee the cbaff at your door," that he fel
doms recurs to the fame means of admonition.

From a London Paper of Oft. 15.
On Monday evening, about seven o'clock, a
most daring robbery was committed in a hab
erdasher's shop in Bifhopfgatc-ftreet. The
fhopkeepcr (a female) had just received three
parcels of goods, value 301. from a wholcfale
house, which she incautiously left on the coun
ter. A man came in to buy some hair ribbon,
and while the woman was serving him, anoth
er am; into the shop, with a knife in his right
hand, and took away one of the parcels. The
woman extremely agitated was unable to speak,
the stranger noticing her copfufion, asked if she
did net know the man? She said, no. He
then asked her if her husband was not at home?
She replied, there is no perfor, in the house but
myfeh. On this information he marched off
with the other two parcels, and left the woman
in strong hysterics.
On Wednesday evening, a young man of de
cent appearance went into the shop of Mr. Vale,
in Flect.ftreet, and &d to look at some gold
pins. After Telexing the two most valuable, he
begged to know the lowest price, adding, be
should purchafc but one now. Wbilft he ap
peared to be making his choice, he very delib
erately walked off with both, (hutting the door
1 after him,fo that before the person in the shop
could~come round the counter, he was out of
fight. [ibid.]
A whale 80 feet long and 10 in diameter,
got on to the Goodwin Sands 4 or 5 days fiwee ;
and dfod through its violent exertions to get into
the sea.
An odd traveller, eXfrffiog how cheering
and comfortable the roads are made by mear, of
mile-flones, suggests to the public,the great im
provement that might be made, by placing them

Influence of Virtue, an old Man's
Story, by a Lady of Maflachufetts.
Although we are not much in the hab

reading of novels, from the influence
they are too apt to obtainover minds
not yet guarded by the soberness of Re
ligious principles, and on which the glit
tering of accomplishments, frequently
render the moral, if any there happen to
be, of no avail—yetriometimes we meet
with one in which morality is the great ob

Splendor and talents are judiciouily ufa)
as auxiliaries. Such is the volume now.

the patronage that genius engaged w fuco
labors is entitled to, we hope ^llbe
liberally granted the authored of Amelia.
