As late 1 bash'd, along tty glade,
Beneath ths drooping willow’s shade,
On streamlet’s verdant border
Where in mingled wild disorder
Twin’d the wreathed Egtetine,
With the tendrils of the vine;
I beheld a goddess ftir,
As the fabled sea-nymphs are,
Who in chaste Sabrina’s train,*
Sport upon the wat*ry plain«
Or in circles round their queen,
Lightly tread tty dewy green,
Rre Aurora o’er the lawn,
tycads tty fl ll ** l of early dawn i
Y«jt tyr face when she was near,
Rcasn’d a majesty aeeotov
And tty lig|> tning of her eye,
Far away bade folly fly i
In her hand a wand she bore,
At whose touch, where ne’er before
Was aught but sandy, barren beds, /
Lilies rail’d their spotless heads;
Qrass fencarpeted ti»e ground,
And pinks and vilets smil’d around.—
Struck with her celestial air,
I bow’d before the vision fair»
And oh ! I said, bright goddess tell
'What your name, and where you dwell i
For sure, of a celestial birth,
You’re but a stranger here on earth.— ‘
I’m ÜBAV*M-BoaN Vxbtum,| she rejoin’d,
A being of angeiick kind,
And anxious round the earth L roam,
To find an unpolluted home,
Some pure, some spotless female breast,
Where I may unmolested rest.
But vain my toil, no more I’ll try,
I’ll to my native mansion fly.
For jratbion boro her power maintains
And Sri th Indelicacy reign*,
And in whatever female heart
TA«« couple enter I depart.
This said, she took lier airy flight.
And swift receded from my sigty
sYlvander.

" J chQ»e my wife as the did her wedding
gown, not for a Jine gloany turface, bui
for tuch yualitict as would wear well."
Da. PajMROSK.
A.X holy disposition and virtuous condus.
are the m<»t pleasing and durable onia
meat*. They who judge, not according t.
appearances, but according to the trqtit,
see no beauty which can be compared to
moral excellence. And moral depravity
in their view, is the moot deformed of ail
objects. In the judgement of God, who it>
the supreme and hnal judge of humau
characters, the unudy are vile, hateful,
loathsome, defiled and abominable. Sin
ful creatures are loath to know themselves,
and are ashamed to be known by others,
because they are very hateful. But holy
beings are beautiful. The bean ties of ho
liness are supremely excellent and amia
ble. Of the adorning of women, it is writ
ten, •• whose adorning, let it not be that out
ward adorning of plaiting the hair, and ol
wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
but let it be the hidden man of the heart,
in that which is not corruptible, even the
ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which
is in the sight of God of great price.”—
They who are adorned with the graces ot
the Holy Spirit, are highly beautiful and
amiable, even in the sight of God. They
are the objects of bis complacency, and
they ought to be loved and esteemed by
tlteir fellow-creature* But if every person
were to be judged, and treated according
to his moral character, how many would be
hated that are now beloved, and how ma
ny would be despised that are now esteem
ed, and how many would be abased that
now exalt themselves! Yet person
is to be judged and treated, not merely in
time, but in eternity, not in a small circle
of deceitful flatterers, but in view of the
assembled universe, according to his moral
character. Ye then, who desire to attract
the eyes and the hearts of spectators, pride
not yourselves in the fading bloom and
beauty of a youthful smiling countenance.
Depend not on the ornaments of fashiona
ble attire, and the accomplishments which
ar* admired and applauded in the dancing
assembly. Judge not of yourselves, nor of
your future destiny by the image which is
returned to eyes from the reflecting
mirror. Examine yourselves by that glass
which exhibits your moral feature* Would

FROM THS FRBIMAH S fQVHHBt,
Letters upon French jqfluence.
' No. I.
To the the Unmsh
It is proposed, fellow-citiaefls, in a count
of very brief and very plain political Leu
unfold the btotory and tfoe
mracter of that peculiar species afAcncA
Influence, which, almost all unprejtyiyw}
persons of all parties arc now prepared tp
acknowledge, has been exercised, i« somp
way or other, upon the affairs of pur coua- ’
try, since the commencement of Thoma*
Jefferson’s administration. The letters wift
be short, that they may stand a Chance for
general republication in the independent
papers; and they will be written in a atyty
simple and unornamented* that they may
lie understood by every man, woman anß
child in the United States, who la at all ty
the habit of political reading.
He who addresses to you these letters
has been honoured with no inconsiderable
portion of your attention upon former occa
sions. He has made the subject of poli
ticks, as an English writer‘says of poet
ry, top much the business of his life; too
much for his own happiness as well a* in
terest. He has bean satirised by his late
democradck friends, because it was bib
fortune, or rather perhaps hia misfortune,
•o rise, in the course of a fete years, from
me of tty very lowest situations in rural
, life, to a seat in the council* of hi* country ;
.a circumstance which he will not affect te
remember without pteaaure, and which ’
certainly he does remember with aa littty
republican pride. Pardon this egotism.—
It will be confined It the first letup*, and te
’he necessary purpose of explanation.
But the writer has changed his political
party. Hence all this satire and muult
oistermu clamour. Some nation has a
faUmaung that the jaise man t
changeable opinion often, the fool never.—
It will be admitted, however, that fi equenj
transitions io politicty, from , one party to
anotlwr* ought to render atiy individual
suspected. If one change were not to ty
illowed, tty democratick ranks, in one
part of tty union, would be very thin—
Rut no man in publick life ought to Change
his party, without giving to hfe coustitucot*
md the publick the reason* which goveHfr
ed his conduct. A mere etc vole, " I ctyfeto
io change,” should never be accepted te
such a case.
Of the adroitystration of tee govemmettf
of hit country, the writer, while he noted
as one of the Representativeaof the
did not solicit either for himself or any otty
er person, directly or indirectly, a favour
of any consequence, whatever. The aj>- I
pointment of a young gentleman as a midr
sliipman in the Davy, was tee only thing
that he requested p/one and in that he wty
gratified. The appointment of now and
then a Deputy-Postmaster, in sopie small
country village cannot be considered aa thp
act of the executive administration. Prob
ably no uther democratick Representative
ever asked so little frohi the Presidcnt. faf
from him nothing was asked. The writey
was disappointed by tee
but be was disappointed, in bi|£>parity ap
a Representative of the P*4f> *° d <W
their behalf. He was disappointed fa find
ing that his political friends, who filled tty
different departments of tty government
were not. as he bad believed them to be,
real republicansi and ttyt they wore not
firm and independent patriots. .
When conscienty demanded a complete
transition from one of the great political
parties which divide the country to the
other, there Was but one way for tty wri
ter to act, consistently, with his own prin
ciples, or rather, perhaps, in thia respect,
notionp singular enough to be sure, but such
as could not but govern him. Itwastogiv*.
the best evidence the nature of the cate
would admit, that po interested or ambi
tii.us views, or any impure pr**
duced the change, by abandouing the high
and honourable situation to which he bad
been three times called by great and rapid.-
ly increasing mn)oritie*of these who know
him best, and to which be knew he cctty
again be called. He declared, on thiaocr
cation, that he would never again be a can
didate at any popular election whatever y
and thia promise he means to keep. Ha
not believe that %ny individual, io 0 * J
rrpublicon gorernment, is atyat any obR-
