Who’s loft bis houje b, fire, and who by debt !
Who has a farm to fell, and who to let ;
How Europe is involv'd in blood and war,
Who's loft bis bead and what be Isl it for.
Long efo,s, extras, contraas and debates,
The limits of a Court on spent effaces ;

LAMENTATION or KOSCIUSKO.:
O'ERWIIELM'D with theflood of def,air,
In darkness, I fieken and pine ;
No breach of the life-giving air,
Nor beam of the morning, are mine.,
A death boding fiance around,
Succeeds to the clangor of war,
Save when the hoarse portals resound,
And theft vaults echo back to the jar.
Despair, m, feed country, despair !
Th, tears ma, eternally flow ;
No friend, in th, sorrows to Jbare;
No companion, to pit, th, woe !
Alas! what a deflate Jane !
Where Peace drove her plougbfbare, of,ore,
There the Demons of bavock have been,
And fluin'dthe red landscape with gore !
Deep gaff'd by the barbarous fled,
The friends of m, warfare I mourn ;
No more the proud ardor the, feel;
No more for the combat the, burn.
The traveller views them, agbaft,
As the moon 'craft the jolitudegleams ;
And, borne on the wings of the blast.
Th' wild vulture incsffantl,fcreams.
Far, far from th, peaceable fare,
We are tefs'd on Mortality's tides ;
But, high o'er the turbulent rear.
An eternal dijpofer prefixes .•
All, -with him, mus tb or& incline ;
Heca, bid the drear wilderness bloom,
And make, e'en the tyrant, combine,
T' embellijh fair Liberty's doom !

INSPIRATION informs ns, wheb
(peaking of the diffoiwion of mao,
that che dull return to daft ai it fa
I Ard the four returns to God wto
gave it=if the dust returns to &*„
it wii, then it is the ftme at i: w§&
before it was before it was rallied tna
man : that being the case, the m b n
it the fame after he has chafed to ez
ift a, he was before he did exift $ then
as it is impoffiWe that he could in any
way be miserable before he gift'd,if
isalfo as impossible that he can in any
way be miserable after he has done
existing : else the dust dees not return
to dust as it was, but there is a very
great alteration ; it has changed from
happinefa to misery, which cannot
possibly be the case— And the spirit
returns to God who gave it—if the
spirit returns to God who gave it, it
must of necessity be the fame as it was
before God put it into mao ; and it
certainly must be clean and pore when
God put it into mam, and as certainly
must be the fame when it returns to
him, for nothing unclean can proceed
from God, neither can any thing that
is unclean go to God . •so we must
conclude that the foul of man was
happy in God from eternity, until he
put it icto man, and of confequeace
after it returns to him again, it must
be happy in him to eternity.
By ancient plan I am a man,
As was by God defign'd;
He call'd me forth from mother earth
Endow'd me with a mind.
To me his breath he did bequeath,
This was my living foul;
To me he join'd a thinking mind,
Which roves from pole to pole.
If from the dust 1 sprang at firft.
To dust I (hull return,.
And be as tho' I'd never been.
Shall neither joy nor mourn.
There's that in me T plainly fee
Which animates my chf,
When called forth from this my earth
Ascends to God straight w?y.
Tia what he gave tis what he'll have,
He will not cast it out,
But there 'c will be eternally,
And join the heavenly shout,
In praise io God for Jesus blood
Which on the croli was Ipilt,
To rinfom us free from the curse.
And save the world from guilt.
Now let us all both great and small,
Rely on Jefus' name ;
Then while on earth we draw our
breath,
We're free from guilt and shame.

PREFACE to the READER.
~===
I HIS small volume of Tales and fcories is
collided fir thy diversion and inftrudion, &

1^ 1 malicious accusations were formerly laid
to attain tn grandeur, and gratify malicious
and ambitions persons.
Here you may observe, that the intent of
this small bock (written in an allegorical ahd
pleasant method) is io promt sincerity and
fidelity, and to difcountenanre treachery and
falfehood. If you are inclined to virtue,
here arc precedents to dirafi you ; if to inno
cence, here are rules to infttud you ; and if
you would avoid vice, here are examples
which set before you thefcandal and misery
which attenda vicious lite. In a word, you
may here learn to despise vanity, to prize in:
nocence, to exped death, to escape hell, and
to obtain heaven.
You will find the hiftorieal part interspers
ed with curious lessons to please the fancy,
delight the mind, sharpen the wit, and illum
inate the understanding. The moral part,
inftru&s the mind in the knowledge and pre
cepts of virtue, as the biftorieal delights the
fancy and improves the judgment.
This small book likewise, by the diverting
stories therein, encourages and allures chil
dren and youth to learn to read ; for which
end it is written in an intelligible style.
