IL JATURE to ev'ry creature is a friend,
Horns arm the bull and hoofs the
hotfe defend;
Hares, to escape, have fwift and tender
feet.
Lions have horrid teeth, their foes to meet,
Tithes are form'd with fins, thro' seas to
glide.
And birds to fly, have pinions at their
fide;
Nature to Men has giv'n strong sense in
fore,
But not to Women, they have famething
more,
Beauty they have, to which all things
must yield ; ~
Beauty, which serves them both for Lance
and Shield,
Light arm'd with this they nothing more
require,
It ferres in(lead of Swords— instead of
Fire. °^,'-l^'^

dress;
- Words which; at ease, each winning grace
express ;
A life, where love, by wisdom polish'd,

Where wifdom'# felf, again, by love re

Where we to chance for friendfhip never
trust; .
Nor ever dread; frorrifuddeE whim, dis.

The social manners, arid the heart humane;
A nature ever great, but diver vain ;-
A wit, that no licentious pertness knows ;
The sense that unassuming candor ffiows ;
Reason, by narrow principles unctieck'd ;
Slave to no party, bigot to no fed ;
Knowledge bf various life, of learning tod;
Thence ta&e =thence truth, which will
from taste enfee;
Unwilling censure, tho' a judgment clear;
A smile indulgent, and that smile fince/C;
A humble, tho' an elevated, mind;
A pride, its pleasure but to save mankind.

ODE ON WOMEN.
AS Mr. Cunningham, the late
■■lpaftoral poet, was fifhing
on a Sunday near Durham, the
Rev. and corpulent Mr. Brown
chanced to pass that way—and
knowing Mr. Cunningham, au
sterely reproved him for break
ing the Sabbath ; telling him he
was doubly reprehensible, as his
good sense should have taught
him better. The poor poet re
plied, " Rev. Sir, your external
appearance fays, that if your din
ner was at the bottom of the river,,
as mine is, you would angle for it,
tho' it were a Jaft day and your
Saviour flood by to rebuke ,ou."

ANECDOTE

Address of the Goddess of Love
to the Children of Men.
YE^chikTren of men ! Ye in
bound in the gifts of Pro
vidence, and many are the fa
vors heaven has bestowed upon
you. The earth teems with her
bounty, pouring fourth the ne
cessaries of life, and the refine
ments of luxury. The sea re
frefhes you with its breezes, and
carries you to distant shores up
on its bosom; it links.nation to
nation in the bonds of mutual
advantage, and transfers to every
climate the blessings of all.—To
the fun you are indebted for the
Splendor of the day, and the
grateful return ^feafohs: it is
he Who guides you as you wan
der thro' the trackless wilderriefs
of space—lights up the beauties
of nature around you, & rnake^
her break forth into fruitfulnefs
And joy.—-But know, that these,
tho' delightful, are not the plea
fares of the heart. They will
not heal the wounds of fortune;
they will not enchant solitude, or
suspend the feeling of pain. =
Know, that I only am mistress
of the foul. To me it belongs
to impart agony and rapture.
Hope and despair, terror and
delight, walk in my train. My
power extends over time itfelf,
as well as over all sublunary be
ings. It can turn ages into mo
ments, and moments into ages.
Lament not the difperifatioris
of Providence; amongst which
the beftowmerit of my influence
is one. He who feels it. May not
be happy—But he who is afranker
to it, must be miserable. i
