POETRY.
From a Lite Poem, entitled,
* SORROWS off SWITZERLAND."
ar BOWLES.
—c—
"TO"'' art thou come, Mail of despair and
blood,
To these green vales, and streams o # cr hung
with wood ?
These hilis, where far from life's dicordant
throng.
The lonely goat-maid chaunts her matin song ?
This cotttyd gk% where age in peace reclines
Sooth'd by the whisper of his native pines ;
Where, in the twilight of his closing days,
Upon the glimmering lake he loves to gate ;
And like his life, sees on the shadowy flood,
The srid sweet eve descending ^ Man of blood ?
Burst not his holy tourings. Innocence
And peace these vales inhabit: Hie thee hence
To the waste wilderness, the mournful main;
To caves,where silence and deep darkness reign;
(Where God's eye only can the gloom pervade)
And shroud thy visage in their dark shade !
Or if these scenes so beauteous may impart
A momentary softness to thine heart,
Let nature plead—.pl&. tor a guiltless lend—-
'Ere yet thou lift the deflating brand ;
'Ere yet thou bid the peaceful echoes swell „
With havoc's shout and many a mingled yell !
l^ae, ytt a moment 1 By the white, white
beard
Os him whose tear-fed eyes to heav'n are rear'd;
Dy her, who frantic lifts her helpless hand—
By these poor little ones that speechless stand,
If thou hast nature in thee, oh, relent !
Nor crush the io wly shed of virtue and content!'

ri'HE return of a new year, while it excites
the gay and thoughtlcfs to feftirity and
mirth, awakes in the mind of the terahs man,
the most falntary reflections. It is the duty of
the latter to let no period of time, however brief
escape unimproved. It is natural therefore, for
him at the ctofe of an era, which forms 3 coufr
durable fraction in his existence, to patife, and
infiitute felt-scrutiny ; —to retrace to his mind
the events of the expiring year, and
to balance, with rigoricus impartiality, the
good and the evil thereof. The man of industry
and virtue,upon these occafious, always finds
time his debtor.— Whereas the votaries of indo
lence and vice are hurrying every revolving
hour, to a guilty bankruptcy.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.
General Scammel, an amiable man
and a valuable c^ccr, who was flam in battle
during the American revolutionary war, taught
a school in a town in New England, nearly
thirty years ago ; and by the ingenious device
cf fixing upon his scholars, ribbons of different
colors, denoting their progress and their merits,
he railed and therifhed among them an 'afton
iffiing degree of emulation; and, at the fame
time governed them without the aid of the
ftourge and the ferula. [Balance.
