~0 THERE hardy enterpnzc, and patient toil
eV Had case and,elegance,and wealth procur d
And all the wifh'd conveniences of life;
There Desolation holds her awful reign—
And widespread «viN, horrible to view,
Gleets, on every fide, the wearied cyc.
Whpre now in Sorrow's livery array'd,
Mournful and destitute, pale Melancholy's child,
The houfclefs Orphan, unprotected Maid,
The gruf worn Wanderer, and unknown,
Weep o'er the fallen monuments of Wealth ;
There once was joy and mirth, and Iportiye glee.
The mind, contented, void of confeious guilt,
Benevolence diffus'd ; and heavenly love
ghcer'd down the vale of life the poor man s way
and with the choicest gifts of heaven fmoothd
^tern Poverty's innumerable ills.
Warm Gratitude, for favors long retain'd
1 lad crown'd the board, and cheer'd the poor mans
heart,
7 'ill sleep securely held the willing mind.f
Uncertain Fate ! capricious, fond of change.
Why doll thou euVy these their Ihort repose ? *
jUiift they in Misery's dear fc'nool be taught—
B< 'want impervious learn another's woe —
1, de, in ONE night, all Happiness and Peace,
Sr ve nvbat delusive Memory affords the mind ?
# » * *
Bdt —hark !—What horrid founds strike on the
ear—
W hat dreadful cries break from the diftrial gloom
Os night? Hark !— FIRE! FIRE! from a thou
sand tongues 1 ,
— Shrill founds the alarm !- - - -Fear, quick as the
flame,
Communicates to all its maniac power,
And chills the vital current as it flows!
In solemn pomp, in awful majesty,
Rbll the vast columns of the furious flame,
Defy the powerful energies of man,
Threat'ning dhrtrnaion !—„
Im vain does Act or Strength their power oppose !
Stern Enterprize, by Danger unsubdued,
Now yields the fruitlefs conflict ! Exertion
Hence is vain ! E'en the instruments qf Art,|
Broken and ufclefs, their usual aid deny !
Distress, Diftradion and Defpriir,
And wiideft Terrors paralize the foul !
Confufion adds distress. Here the bright flame,
Reflecting Horror, in a thousand forms.
Reigns uncontroul'd!
There might you fee the half-craz'd Mother
Folding her fhiv'ring Infant in her arm:,
Freezing with cold, and (bricking to the flames
To spare her little mansion ! There, the Child
With tears of anguish dreaming from hr. eyes,
Lifts its little hands, and cries for mercy !
Here, again, the agonized Parent,
Scorch'd by the flames thru' which he'd prefs'd—
Alas !
He'd fnatch'd another's infant as bis cun !
Sec there, again, perfonified Distress—
An aged Mother, lame, old, helplcfs blind,
Upon an only child, a daughter, leans,
^ With meafur'd steps and flow, scarce creeps along/
See how Deftruaion like a torrent pours—
And fwift, thro' population's wealthiest streets,
Riots on misery / * * * *
For such distress
Will not one tear from Pity's Fountain flow ?
— But what are tears, or sighs, empty as air ?
Could these have aught avail'd, quick would the
flames
beftrua^ve, arrested in their full career,
Have own'd the misery they made.
Leave others, then, these unavailing sighs—
Let those, who fuffer, ffied the friendiefs tear ;
Be yours mild tti/ißiTr', diffufive power,
And pour, in Sorrow's bread, the balm of joy !

Patience Pourtrayed.
[An Extra& from Horne's Difcourfcs.],
PATIENCE is the guardian of faith, the preferv
cr of peace, the cherisher of love, the teacher of
humility : Patience governs the flefh, drengfhem
the spirit, fweeten^ the temper, flifles anger, extiib
guilhes envy! subdues pri'de ; she bridles the tongue,
refrains the hands, t'rampks upon temptations, en
dures' persecutions, consummates martyrdom : Pa
tience! produces unity in Societies : she comforts the
poor, and moderates the rich * she makes us humble
in prosperity, cheerful in adderfity, unmoved by ca
lumpy and reproach ; she teaches us to forgive those
who have injured us, and to be the firft in asking
forgivenefs of those whom we have injured ; she de-;
lights .the faithful and invites the unbelieving; She
adorns the woman and approves the mm ; is loved
in a child/ praised in a young man, admired in an
did man ; (he is beautifulin either sex and every age.
Behold'her appearance and her attire. Her counte
nance is calm and fcrene, as the face of heaven un
Spotted by the fliadow of a cloud, and no wrinkle of
grief at anger is feed on her forehead. Her eyes
are as the eyes of doves for mecknefs, and on Her
eye-brow fits cbcerfuliefs and joy, her mouth is love
ly in silence ; her complexion and colour that of in-
GAcence and security : while like the virgin the
daughter of Zion, she Shakes her head at the adver-
Ary,defpifwg and laughing him to Scorn She is
clothed in the robes, of the martyrs, and in her hand
Are holds a fceptre in the form of across. She rides
not in the whirlwind and Stormy temped of passion,
but her throne is the humble contrite heart, and her
kingdom is the kingdom of peace.
