Parnaflian Spring.

INJURED INNOCENCE.
THE night wasin her fable clad,
No friendly star was seen ;
The bleaky thow’r difpers’d afar,
And fadden’d all the green.
The weary peasants wrapt in rest,
No distant founds were heard
Save that from yonder blasted oak,
That lodg’d the wakeful bird.
When Celia, loft to virtue’s rules,
Thus eas’d her burthen’d breast ;
Her hand fuftain’d her dropping head,
Whilfk she her grief eggreﬁ.
¢ Oh! why did I (diftra&ted thought)
¢« My injured body trust ;
¢« Or yield my virgin innocence
«« A vitim to his lust ?
““Why do I tread this unknown path,
¢ The unjoft wretch to fee ?
s¢ To plead an injur’d mother’s case,
¢« Sweet babe it is for thee !
s Mayst thou, dear innocent, when
born,
The paths of virtue tread,
s And make atonement for the life
¢ Thy wretched parents led.
\ Whilst I in wilds and defarts drear
An humble fufferance scan,
¢ And bid this finful world adieu,
‘: And thou more finful man.”
Here speech oppreft to grief gave way,
Sighs fill’d the dark profound ;
Her quiv’ring knees each other smote,
She gently laid her down.
When full of wrath the monfler ftept,
From where he hidden lay,
And at 2 blow, with malice fell,
He ftretch’d her on the clay.
Then from his fide 2 knife he drew,
Oh ! dismal scene to tell ;
Whilst she to heav’n for mercy cries;
To save his foul from hell.
Ye virgins drop a tender tear,
Bemoan her parting state ; '
Think on her agonizing pains,
Aad shun the gilded bait.
Now on her bended knees she prays
The perjur’d wretch to spare ;
Not for her own; batinfant’s fake;
It’s mother’s grief to share.
For life the begs, but begs in vain,
Death wiih his clay celd hand,
Had cropt the roses from her cheeks,
She dy’d—Oh ! wretched man.
1t thou efcap’ft 2 judgment here,
And art not doom’d to die,
Think of a judgment drawing near
From which thou can’ft not fy,
The MeErcHANT outwitted.
A recent ANECDOTE.
- Few days since, a virtuous young
Agiﬂ appliedto aMerchant’s store
in aneighbouring town, to purchase
some cheap Calico suitable for a gown.
The Merchant shewed her some of the
best quality~=the girl informed him
that her money would not purchase
that—he replied that she could pay
for it wery eajy—fhe withed to know
by what means ; the Merchant re
plied ““in Anocking ;> to which the
girl acceded, and the Sunday follow
ing was the time appointed-~=the
Merchantcameat the hour,and knock
ed at the door,when his customer from:
the chamber-window enquired his
business—he replied that he came for
the &alance of the Calico—‘* very
good, fir,”’ fays the girl, « the door
is fufficiently strong, take it out in
Anocking.”’—This payment not being
fatisfactory, the Merchant fends a
writ for the balance the rext day—
but the opinion of his friends was,
that he hats better submit the matter
to the decision of his neighbours, to
which he agreed ; their judgment
was---<¢ that he should pay the cost
of prosecution, refund the girl the
money he had received, and, in con
sideration of the girl’s punétaality in.
payment, and the grefcrvation of her
?:ﬁity', the should be entitled to the
Calico gratis.
MONIT OR.
HORACE begins one of his sa
tires; with asking Macenas
how it comes to pals, that men are
ever diffatisfied with the situation
which choice or chance has put
them into, and are ever envying o
thers ! He instances the soldier
coveting the {ituation of the mer
chant, and the merchant that of the
soldier. But this is. a question which
remains unanswered until this day ;
and we can only guess at the cause,
by refleting on the restlessness of
the minds of most men, and their
being never fatisfied with what this
world can give. Fhe reason, why
they are thus diffatisfied,, however,
may be given upon principles with
which I-%orace was not acquainted ;
for certainly men who are apparent
ly in good circumstances, and difla
tisfied, would not be so, .if they al
lowed their hopes to extend to a
future state. Few things will fatis
fy him who has this hope, and the
whole universe will not fatisfy him
who has it not.
To be forever withing, is a slate
of misery, even when the withes are
not absolutely inreafonable ; how
much more so, when those withes
are not bounded by reason, or even
accommodated to- the nature of
things. The fool rarely wishes for
wisdom ; nor the poor man for virs
tue—the wish of bothis for riches ;
the mildest wifthes of man have ever
this for their obje ; and the refpe&
paid to men of wealth, seems, in 2
certain degree, to juftify this univer
sal paflion. When 2 man unac
quainted with the world, or but just
entering into it, fees that wealth
only procuresse/pe&t, honour, atten
tion, and troops of friends, he natu
tally confiders wealth as the greatest
of all blessings ; and in his eagerness
to obtain it, frequently steps from
the path in which he has hitherto
walked, and in which he might have
smoothly moved on with reputation:
into another which he thinks will
bring him sooner to the desired ob
je&. But he has yet to learn, that
the refpe& paid to the rich is not
paid by the rich ¢ That the honour
is external ; that the attentions are
such as meanness will prompt to
give, and pride to receive ; and that
the friends whom wealth procures,
are a set of genteel mercenaries,who
will a& nolonger than they are paid.
