REFLECTIONS on LIFE.;
Written just at entering upon the busy flage of the
world.
SAY, what is Life thro' all its busy Icenes,
Its gilded shadows, and delutive dreams?
What but the rack, where patience mud be try'd,
Where hope is mock'd—fruition is deuy'd ?
In youth we view each future profpe^t gay,
And Life appears but one unclouded day ;
But lo ! too soon misfortune's ftornis arise,
When each fond bleffiug, like the phantom, flies.
Now let roe read the turning page of fate,
Its various bieffings, or its ills await.
With equal temper, and an even mind,
Nor view my lot, of all, the most unkind.
O, may I tread the thorny path of Life,
Remote from grandeur, and remote from ftrife—
At virtue's shrine forever lowly bend—
Each ill form'd habit of my youth amend—
Benevolence, through every flage, my guide ;
Far diltant from me, felf-conceit and pride ;
With independence, nobly to return
The sneering insult, or contraded frown.
Thus, let me pass my every day in peace,
'Till the lalt throb of Nature's pulse shall cease ;
Then my past life with pleasure I'll review,
And, smiling, bid the world a last adieu ! !

Translation of a French Epitaph.
A glutton renown'd,
Lies under this ground,
Who forever to eating was prone :
Before his last breath,
He'd e'en have eat DEATH :
But there he found nothing but bone !
ANECDOTES.
A MINISTER finding his people not to have so
much knowledge of their duty to God and their
neighbor, as they ought to have, was resolved to
examine and inftruft them at home ! coming to a
poor woman's house, among other questions, he
aiked her how many commandments there were?
Truly, said (he, Sir, I cannot tell. Why, said he,
ten : " A fine company," replied she, “ God bless
you and them together."—" Well, but neighbor,
fays he, " do you think yon can keep these com
mandments ?" —“ Ah, the Lord in heaven bless
you, Sir, I am a poor woman, and can hardly
keep myfelf : so I hope you will not be so unkind
to put me to the charge of keeping so many com
mandments."
NEGLIGENCE in reading sometimes produces
whimsical coincidents. A clergyman, who was
reading to his congregation a chapter in Genesis,
found the last sentence in the page to be, " And
the Lord gave unto Adam a wife." Turning over
two leaves together, he found written, ayd,read
in audible voice, “ and Jhe was pitched wjthin
and without.” He had unhappily got into thd
middle of a difcription of Noah's ark.

DIED,
Near Chefteiftown, Maryland, Horatio
Seney, an insane person ; who had volun
tarily /b/W forty-four days ! being determi
ned (as he frequently declared) to out-faft a
ny perlon who ever existed. During this
time, he fuffered nothing to pass his mouth,
but pure water. Meat, bread, &c. were
repeatedly put in his way, but they remained
untouched. On the 45th day, he ate a perch
and a little homony ; after this he fell down,
and was conveyed to bed ; the next day h^
took half a cup of coffee, and one small bis
cuit, in an hour after he died.—During this
faft, he rode about as usual, exhibiting a hor
rid fight ; his bones nearly through his skin,
his lips shrunk so as to difeover his teeth and
gums complete. He was perfealy hatmlefs,
and had a very retentive memory.
