SAPPHO’s ODE TO VENUS.
IJiuoht daughter of immortal Jove,
Practised in all the cares of love;
Bow, beauteous queen, thy gracious ear,
Hear from tliy tlirone thy suppliant’s prayer.
Oh I from my heart, fair queen of low,
My anxious carts and pains remove;
Oh ! hear me while I, sad, complain,
Drive from my heart my wasting pain.
Oh I now again propitious come.
As once before, you left your dome,
Thy car to me thy sparrows drew,
And leaving thee they homeward flew.
While back again they wanton fly,
With love and pity in your eye.
You kindly.said*—** O Sap|rf)o A teU,
“ What cruel cares thy bosom swell.
“ Docs any youth thy passions movb,
► “ And raise the gentle flame of love ?
*• Come tell me Sappho, all your cares;
“ And what the pang thy bosom bears.
“ If any youth your love beguiles,
“ And turns indignant from youramilcs;
** 1 hough now he fly, he soon shall turn,
“ And for your charms and beauties buijn.
“ Though now your offers he despise,
‘bSoon shall he come with suppliant cries,
“ And beg you to accept his charms,
*’ And kind receive him to your arms.”
Sweet queen of love, come to my bower,
Again thy pres< nee I implore ;
Bring to my breaking heart release,
Give to thy Sappho balmy peace.

N" ot long since, my fi iehd, I tnet with a
glass of a most extraordinary kind. Inldnk
ing through it at mankind, I was really
astonished at the result. We generally con
sider man as composed of body and mind;
and mind we consider as something distinct
from body, and entirely different in its pro
perlies and operations. But this glass gav>
a different view. What 1 had supposed
was inind, wiifiout any resemblance to bo
dy, I found to be nothing more than mirtyte
modifications at lhe latter. I futikecf fiis
at a person who appeared to be in deep
meditation. I endeavoured todiscover how
the train of his ideas were represented;
and at last found on his brain a tow ot lit
tle tubercles which were constantly fluciu
ating, one rising and another falling in
quick succession. He was a politician; and
when he came to think of the affairs of em
ptres, and to revolt e the stupendous plan
< f a general congress of all nations with the
design to “ hush the tumults of war and
give |M-ace to the world,” I certainly ex
peered his brain would swell wiih thi
thought to such a magnitude that it would
very near burst his scull. How was I as
tohtyhed to see the same puny point, no
larger than when he thought of a pea. Even
the idea of Bonaparte, who makes such a
figure over all Europe, was of exactly the
same size as that of a mite. I then look
ed at Bonaparte himself. His ambition you
know has made great noise in the world;
yet, in his brain, it was a prominence no
greater than the head of a small pin. 1
I next viewed Xantippe boiling with rage.
Now, thought I, we shall see a monstrous
wen of anger; when, low! I could scarce
ly see a little red spot, ten limes smaller
than the one last viewed. My last view
was at a lover. If I recollect, the in.
stance was Paris. I thought that passion
which set in flames Greece and old Troy
must be enormous; but alaK! it was oirfy a
little indenture so infinitely small, that the
point of a needle could not be admitted in
to it without violence.
You probably wish, my friend, to know
what this magick glass could’be. Nothing
more than Prieatley'a acheme of Man.
Adieu. PHILO.
The impious King of Pi usds, the irreli
gious knot of Conspirators in France and
Germany, what has befallen them ? Alas»
’hey, and their countries, ruined, prove, in
the emphatick words of our authour, that
they who are false to their God, will be
traitors to their country. M
RXTR.ICT HVH THE SERMOM.'
*' It may perhups beaffiimed, ih.it civ^L Jp
zation cau supply tbe place of Religion, aof
PULPIT ELOQUENCE.
I have read a Sermon, preached by the
Reverend Mr. Harold, [published by Mr.
Dornin,] on the occasion of consecrating a
Bishop of the Catholick Church. His ar
gument shews, most clearly, that the ** pre
sumptuous philosophy” of continental Eu
rope, produced the chaos and desolation,
which has’filled the world with horrour.
I abstain from using severe language.
And for this reason, that the private cha
racter of F. I esteem very highly. I regrei
his conduct on this point does notpnerease
my esteem. When I meet him personally,
he is urbane and highly agreeable. Why
does he depart from this line in one in
stance ? My request is, that he may either
cease his give only direct, manly
criticism. Such critic i.m I shall never de
precate. But buffoonery is as disagreeable,-
as il is dishonourable to the authour. Should
this request be refused, moderation would '
cease to be iny duty. •• There is a spirit
in manand this forbids us to submit
patiently to unmerited sarcasm. But it ie
sincerely hoped it will not be refused. Har
mony is the pleasure of life. Discord can
not but be unpleasant to a generous and
aytnpaihetick mind.
FROM THI FEDERAL GAZKTTX.
•nay be from perfection, I know they ar«
not contemptible. They are, asjhey pro-'
less to be, hasty remarks of the moment,
A single sentence has uwer been copied for
the purpose of correction ; aud no thought
been entertained oi their po**essing ui>u»ual
accuracy or elegance. The feelings of the
tustant have been given, aud uotldug fur
ther intended. Yet, though thus hasty,
much of the writer’s vanity, if uny please
to call it so, must be destroyed, before be
will be jshatned of them. He probably
-Of ver will be ashamed of them; certainly
not, from the perusal of the remarks of tliy
“fellow." It is desirable to please. We *
all wish it, We wisfi topleme everyone.
I urtnking of this comibon propensity of
mankind, thb writer of the letters could .
uot, of consequeuce, be wholly indifferent
t.» the estimation given tin ny by readets*
Anti hence he wa< sorry to observe the. re
marks of F. Not because they detected
any real ertours or dtToitnitier in them 3
but because they were calculated tq give a
bias in the minds of readers Mgdnst the Jet
teis. Every species ot comp«4>iiion, e vets
t >e best, can be injuied in this manner, and
be m ide to appear in sqme degree ludk
ci ous; and especially is this thr case with *
>he familiar style of letieis. In the first
It tt».r it was my o'»j ct merely to put down
a few dcsultoty ideas by way of simple in
troduttion. I intended merely some cum
nu n-place observaiions, such as our cus
tomary observations on the weather on
meeting our acquaintance. No one thinks
of criticising these, or of expecting any
thing particularly interesting. And no
inoieshould be expected fiom an introduc
tory letter in a series. So far as we* can
judge fiom hi> obscure hints, F. see ins tn
make two objections to this letter. Fust,
that the few obi-eivations on the situation
of the town, since this is so well known to
its inhabitants, are frivolous. It is suffi
cient to say in reply to this, that examples
of this exist in abundance, so respectable
as would render it vanity in me to name
them. Second, that the application of the
term “ village” to the town is degrading.
Il Is unfortunate for F. that he dal not rely
a little less on his Itxic-graphy, and a lit-,
tie more on what he ought io have known
to be the present use ut the term. •• ViL
iage” means a settlement, a cplhctinn of
dwellings. The viUtge if a town is .well
known to a close hs-cmblage of dwel
lings, as distinguished fiom those partsof
'he town that h ive only scatteied buddings.
Examples of its being applied to places
larger than this town are abundant am*.ng
the best writers. Thu*, it is applied to
( helsea, Islington, Kensington, Hadding
ton, Hampstead, P.iocr iss, Hackney, and
numerous other villages in England. Yet
Islington has mme than 2000 houses; a
much larger number than in this town. Of
the others I do not find accounts, though
some of them are undoubtedly still larger*
Where then is F’s fur bls cen
sures i He has none. As to the second let
ter, I designedly gave free scupe to fancy.
That the execution of this design was not
very defective, is evinced by the Tact that
not one point could be found by F. on which
to fix a censure.
