To one and all 1 bid adieu.
My journey now I must pursue,
No longer can I stay;
May these few lines which I have penn'd,
Sometimes remind you of a friend.
When I am far away.
Ft is true that the goodness and mercy of
the Lord are contemplated with a kind of
pleasure by the sinful, but then it is good
ness modified and exercised on tbeis own
principles. It is a goodness that speaks
peace to men, while following the dkvfces
of their own hearts, And without turning
from sin to holiness. When ws describe

mercy and goodness, acting in concert with
And ye companions, young and free,
Whose souls are fraught with mirth and glee,
Accept a parting sigh ;
Your pleasing sports and social mien.
In tender lays the muse shall sing
Beneatl^ a southern sky. *
How oft the gmiling throng,
Regal'd modest stmg.
Have I all care resign’d;
How pleas’d feftWto each resort.
Improvement to youthful sport,
And each to each so kind.
Tl»e following line* are not without their

of indulgence may well be allowed to the youth
of the authour. There is so much goodness
of heart displayed, that criticism unbend* her

Th a following ligna wwW written by a young
gentleman from Virginia, on leaving C. Tmorn
roXte School, in Smithfield—eliould you deem
them worthy a place in your paper, you will
please to insert them, and oblige
> READER.
Y< bards of fame whose lofty lays,
wreck* of time, and caumJcwt days,
Shall efer stand enresa’d ;
Oh, from the mansions of delight,
Tq.earth direct your downward flight,
And lodge within my breast.
Or if you’re bound by chains of love,
Within the smiling realms of Jove,
Implore the lofty king,
His sacred nectar to impart
With stores unbounded fill my heart.
And teach, my muse to sing >
No tawny Africk doom’d to woes,
To cruel toils ami countless blows
Beneath a tyrant’s hand j
But all are equal, all are free.
The patriot sone of liberty,
Hail equal, happy land.
Now 1 must bid adieu to all,
Obey my honoUrM fatlier** call,
My kin and country see«
To every frieSd a loftg farewell,
MSy you in peace and plenty dwell.
And sometimes think on me.
Those happy days with you I’ve past,
Alas, have flown away too fast
And never to return ;
When distant far, I*ll fondly trace
In recollection’a chart your place,
And thence contentment learn.
Adieu each philosophick sage, 1
Where wiadom join’d to hoary age.
My youth reveres your name ;
Ye prudent dames, and matrons too.
The muse does kindly bid adieu—
A muse unknown to fame.
To sing in strains sublimely new,
And bid my friends a long adieu,
Whom I must leave behind.
Pray, roving fancy, tell me why
Thy fleeting pinions raise so high,
And win not be confin’d I
To what vast region dost thou aoar I
What lands unknown wilt thou explore I
Or when shall I at rest,
My every roving thought restrain,
Secure in friendship's smiling train,
In peace and plenty blest ?
But these suggestions nought avail,
For Vernon’s Mount 1 now must sail
From Smithfield’s tranquil plains;
Where native beauty, native grace,
Sit smiling on the damsel’s face,
And where contentment reigns.
Where reason, unalloyed by art,
Proclaims her empire in the heart
And nature’s laws unfold;
Where unimpaired from sire to son,
The philosophick fountain* run
In streams by me untold.
No haughty lord of pomp and state,
Widi bumble tenants round his gate,
Beneath Rhode-laland’s skies >
Blit ail are equal* all are free;
The patriot sons of Überty,
And merit gain* the prize.

As they do not choose to think of coming
before God in judgement, so neither i< k
pleasing to have his perfections made real
to them on earth. We must not impute the
uneasiness of sinful men,' at the thought of
coming before Gud in judgement, wholly
to fear of the consequences. Although this
may be a principal reason, therf is also a
dislike of his presence—a' dislike of his
perfections—and it gives ftlem pain to
see him. The infinite object of view is
not pleasing—not beautiful and glorious
in their sight, but entirely the contra
ry. They say unto God, depart from us.
They say the same to his providence,
when considered as a means of displaying
him; to his word, in which hi* character
and counsels are described; to his law,
which is a picture of his rectitude, to tba
true doctrine! of the gospel, which bring
hi* holy nature into view more clearly than
the law ; to hl* ministers who are faithful
In representing his holy counsel* and re
quirement*. Indeed it is impossible, that
the unholy part of mankind should feel
pleased with the faithful preaching 6f the
gospel. Through the terr ours of natural
cnnsctehce, they may be restrained, and
may be rationally convinced that it I* best
for them to bear the truth; still they do
not love the truth, because It displays God
before them. It is very natural te t rausfer
there ill feeling*, which' ttegfrf gainst the
truth itself, to the person* of tlmse who are
the instrument* of declaring it. The ma©
is not fit for an instructor who dttth not »e 4
this, and hath not Christian fortitude to
meet these things, with • thorough com*
pomre of mind and determination from a
regard to the honour of Christ and a lore
of the soul* of others, that he will do his du
ty, through the assisting grace of God. H 4
must be willing to spend and be spent that
he may honour God and save the soul* of
others. He must be willing to go through
good report and evil report; through pain*
as well as pleasures; through reviling*
and the imputation of ev*ery base motive,
a* well as approbation; and all this in the
spirit of Christ, who said, Father, forgive
them, they know nor what they do. And
if at any time they meet approbation and
success, then let them be careful to hum
ble themselves more low than at other
times, and give all the glory of their sot*
cess to the efficiency of the spirit of God.
