Yes, goddess! yes, with such a friend,
The quiv'ring lamp of night I'll spend,
And p?fs the hours of day ;
Behold with philosophic eyes,
The ancient dates before me rife,
Grow, flourish, and decay.
While, hov'ring round on mental wings,
Mortality her precepts brings,
To strengthen nature's plan ;
For ah ! tho' wit awhile may flame,
r Tis VIRTUE only, sacred name !
'-''''l' o " ! defcemted from ab "e,
lUar emblem of anodic love.
With Kham the virtues dwell;
By all thy vitines' du.htops name.,
"Tf'' '" '""' ni Y f^ nc y frames,
The tribute of my fficil.
Nor then I'll spurn her fofter laws,
When Beauty,pleading friendship's cause,
Beams from my Sarah's eye ;
No, no ; let Hymen light his torch,
And lead our flaps to pleasure's porch,
Well enter, wreath'd with joy.
Sweet child of dove-ey'd tenderness !
The giddy, gay, unthinking fair,
The blaze of orient gems may prize,
But brighter far the tear-drops are,
That fall fronepity's lucid eyes.
More facet's the rose at dawn of day,
(Its bending head impearl'd with dew)
Than when the noon-tide fun's fierce ray
Expands its beauties to the view.
O ! may my guardian angels keep
From thy pure bosom sorrow 's throne,
Not that I with thee ne'er to weep,
But weep for storied woes alone.
On mercy s pinions borne afar,
I he foul that fcan'd the point of war,
And fpnrn'd t_he trophied crest,
Will turn with raptur'd orbs to fee,
Where thru, with sensibility,
Adorn ft the godlike brenft.
Oh ! come then, while the germs of youth
Demand the friendly beam of truth,
To call them into bloom;
Come ! —for 'tis thine to 'radiate
I he fad-depending clouds of fate,
And cheer misfortune's gloom.
Teach me to love the virtuous man,
With tenderness his faults to lean,
And bind his thoughts to mine ;
rranfplanting to myfelf his worth ;
So round the oak of manly growth,
The ivy's tendrils twine.
The truth and goodnefi of Gov.
Engraved as in eternal brass,
The mighty promise shines;
Nor can' the powers of darkness raze
Those everlasting lines.
The sacred word of grace is firong
As that which built the Ikies;
The voice that rolls the stars along,
Speaks all the promises.
Our children tl^n may claim our love,
Our precepts shall their minds improve,
And early vice efface :
Till springing from a chosen few,
Affection's plan I still pursue,
And grasp the human race !
The tears to loft Louisa giv'n ?
0, trust me! though defpis'd b, pride,
A tender heart's the care of heav'u.
Let folly's callous-breaded throng,
Laugh at the tale of love's distress ;
But I to thee will pour the song,
Yet not to me alone confin'd,
Friendship! expand each narrow minp,
Inform, inftru& the whole ;
So shall we view with glowing eyes,
Creation one vast paradife,
Thy feat, each human foul.
Come, Henry, come! for lo ! the day
Sheds purple glories on the fight;
Say, shall we bend our happy way
To where yon trees are waving light ?
Or shall we feck yon bean-flower bed,
Where breezes faint with rich perfume ?
Or range thro' woods, whose brown feet tread
On lilies wild, or ftrawberries' bloom.
Yet ah ! e^h path with thee is Greet,
And as I on thy dear arm lean,
The fame to me the dark retreat.
As where the fun-ffiinc cheers the green.
Then haste along, and let us rove
Through ail the charms of dale or plain :
For whilst I own a fitter's love.
I scorn vile Slander's idle rirain.
Charm'd with thy animated mind,
Sooth'd by the foftnefs of thy heart,
I bless thy fentimcnts refin'd.
And own the transport they impart :—
And gaily to thy wit I fmilc,
Or fondly to thy tender tone,
I bend the listening ear, the while
I make thy feelings all my own.
0 ! come, thou warmest, kindest friend !
Come with those eyes so blue and clear ;
I care ,ot where our footfteps bend,
For i am lov'd, and thou art dear,.

Tis VIRTUE MAKES THE MAN.

ed nothing that thou caoft fee occasion to alter
on a second review; thou canst promise nothing
to thy own damage, nor be a loser by the uc
moft liberality, fhou art every way qualified
to make good thy engagements, by the fulnefs
of thy riches and power.
Nor haft thou any necessity to flatter thy
creatures, or to fay kinder things to them than
thou meanest to fulfil. Miserable man can
bring no advantage to thee, nor has he any
thing to claim from thee. By what benefit has
he prevented thee ? by what right can he de
mand the least of thy favors ? thy engagements
are all free and unconstrained, founded on thy
own beneficence, and not on the merits of thy
creatures. While I confider this, my expedfations
rife, I let no limits on my hope: 1 look up with
confidence and call thee my father, and with a
humble faith, I claim every advantage that ten
der name imports. My heart confides in thee
with ftedfaftnefs and alacrity ; fear and distrust
are incontinent with my thoughts of the benefi
cence of thy nature.
Every name and attribute by which thou haft
revealed thyfelf to man confirms my faith.—
Thy life, thy being is engaged; 1 may as well
question thy exigence, as thy faithfuluefs ; as
Jure as thou art, thou art just and true. The
protestation of the most faithful friend I have,
cannot give me half the consolation that thy
promises give me. I hear vain man with diffi
dence, I bid my foul beware of trusting faife
mortality ; but I hear thy voice with joy and
full assurance.
The foliowing anecdote if related of Prince
Chafes of Heft, Field Marshal of Den
mark, and Commander in Chief of the
Danifo troops font to take poffeffon of
Hamburg, a short time ago : —
"<\N his march to Hamburg, he halted at a
imall town called Pinneburg, in the
Duchy of Holftein,diftant from Hamburg about
12 English miles. —There were two inns in the
place, the one had for his sign a Grey Ass, and
the other a Black Cow. On asking which was
the best, his Serene Highness was told the former
—he accordingly alighted there, and went in.—
As he was preparing to take Iris departure, the
landlord made his appearance, and in a fuppli
catitg tone, told him he had a favor to request,
which he trusted his Serene Highness would not
take amiss, but grant him —Why not ? was the
reply, provided nothing particular be io the way.
" The landlord t!. ' old his illustrious visitor
that he had long been diffatisfied with his pref
cncfign, alledged that it was too vulgar consid
ering the number of gentry that resorted to his
house ; he therefore thought that if permission
was given him to hang up a portrait of his Se
rene highness, in the place of the Grey Ass, it
could not fail to be a still greater inducement to
companies repairing to his tavern, which, by
the way, had always enjoyed a pre-eminence
over that of his neighbor. The Prince gave
his assent, and the painter was immediately sent
for, who, in a great hurry, finished the so much
desired sign at the bottom of which was writ
ten in large golden letters, Prince Charles of
Hesse.—The other landlord, a fellow it should
seem of much acuteness of difeernment was
struck with the idea that there was now per
haps a fine opportunity for him to raise the
fame of his house, by transforming the Black
Cow in the Grey Ass, —thinking, as he very
justly did, that he could thereby at lead attra&
a great many guests that etherwife intended
going to his rival, the fame of whose inn, known
by the name of the Grey Ass, was spread far
and wide ; —Nor was he in the wrong, for the
thing took and succeeded beyond his j#oft san
guine expectations. Our other hero, &ly dif
apppinted and chagrined, saw too late into
the inconsistency of his conduct. Out of re
venge as it were, to make good the injury he
had thus evidently brought upon himfelf, he or
dered down the new sign, and as a necessary
explanation, previous to its being replaced,
caused to be written over the head of the Field
Marihal — "This is the real Grey Aft.''

of Quincy, concluded the flemnities of the occafon,
with prayer —Such was the fierce and attention of

Anecdote of an USURER.
There dwelt at Vicenza a notorous usurer,
who was always declaiming against usury. One
day he called on the parson of his parish, and de
sired him to preach a sermon against the practice
of this vice. The preacher, who was acquainted
with his charader, alked him the reasons which
induced him to make this singular requell—
" Mr. Red'or," replied the usurer," there are so
many persons in this parifb who follow my trade,
that I can gee nothing by it : but should your
sermon correa and restrain this practice, people
would then come to my house only
TWO hair-dressers of Bath, (Eng
land)having quarreled in a public house,
retired to King's Mead-fields, to fight
it out. The one was a tall, thin man ;
the other short, thick, and plethoric.
After a few rounds the combatant,
whole rotundity unfitted him for works
of lading prowess, just whispered “ I'll
fight no more." The other anxiously
catching the half-formed founds, asked
" What does he fay ?" "Say (cried one
of the seconds) why he fays he'll fight
another hour." "The devil he does,
(rejoined the other) then I'll fight no
longer. The fat man was accordingly
declared vidor, and carried from the
field in triumph.
