He's gone, no mercy man will (hew me,
In prayers no more Til watt my breath,
Here on the frozen earth I'll throw me,
And wait in mute defpairjor death,
Farewell thou cruel world, to-morrow,
No more they scorn my heart with tear.
The grave will duell the child of sorrow,
And heaven will hear the Orphan's pray'r.
THE ORPHAN'S PRAYER.
But thou proud man, the beggcr scorning,
Unmov'd thou faw'll me kneel for bread,
Thy heart (hall ache to hear at morning,
That morning found the begger dead,
And when the room resounds with laughter,
My famifli'd cry thy mirth shall scare,
And often shall thou wish hereafter,
Thou hadil not fcorn'd the Orphan's prayer.
" ROSE at twelve o'clock with a most
confounded head ache—eyes dreadfully•
parched—my pulse feverifh —could'nt eat
my breakfaft, so drank a bumper of brandy
tofet me to rights. About two o'clock saun
tered down to the coffee-houfe and had a
bafon of vermicelli, with three glafles of
noycau.—At half pah two, ate a devil'd
kidney, and drank two glades of Madeira.
Half an hour afterwards, took a glass of
Nervous Restorative Cordial, and walked
it down with a dram.* —About five, finding
my appetite very la ! la ! took two glailes of
bitters, and at half pad fix set d "* n to din
ner. Could'nt eat a moifel—what the d—l
ails me ?—A gentleman said, I must go to
bed sooner, take more exercise, and never
touch any thing between meals.—Heat these
prating fellows !—How the d—l can I lead
a more regular life ?—Don't I live every day
the fame f —However, though 1 could'nt eat
at dinner, I made amends by drinking ; for,
before the cloth was taken away, I had
dispatched a bottle of Madeira and 3 bumpers
of brandy, byway of Jettling my fcmacb !
" At eight o'clock set in to drinking, and,
by two in the morning, had taken to my
own share three bottles of port, and five de
vil'd biscuits.
“ At three o'clock got home, and finding
myfelf rather quear, took two glafles of hot
brandy and water, half and half, and having
nothing else to do, undressed myfelf as well
as I could, & went to bed."

PortfmoHth) Feb, 2,2,.
Perhaps you think my lips diAmbling,
Os virtuous furrows feign a tale.
Then mark my frame with anguiOi trembling,
My hollow eyes and femmes pale,
E'en ffiould my fl ,ry prove ideal,
Too well these waited limbs declare,
My wants at lead are not unreal,
Then Granger grant the orphan's pray'r.
THE frozen Greets in moonshine glitter, fl
The midnight hour has long been pad, —
Ah me ! the wind blows keen and bitter,
I link beneath the piercing blast.
In ev'ry vein seems life to languid,
Their weight my limbs no more can bear,
But no one soothes the Orphan's anguish
And no one hears the Orphan's pray'r. „
Hark ! hark ! for fore some foot Hep's near m<
, Advancing, press the drifted snow,
I die for food: oh ! Granger, hear me,
4 die tor fit ; some alms bellow ;
Yon fee no guilty wretch implore you,
No wanton kneels in feign'd def o ir,
A famifh'd Orphan kneels before you,
Oh grant the famifh'd orphan's prayer.
A LAWYER being lately in company with a
Qiaker, and prelling hard upon bis principles ol
giakerifm, told him if he persisted in such princi
ples he neser could be saved. The Qiaker repli
ed he would answer him as to that belief, by telling
him a story of a young lad remarkable for his wit
and sarcasm, whom a Lawyer accidentally met in
the street, and knowing him to be a boy of ready
wit, had a mind to have a little diversion with
him, and fays, “ Well Robert, when will the moon
change ?" To which he gave him a fatisfaftory
answer ; now my lad, said he, I will puzzle you,
“ tell me then when the Sun will change ?" the
boy well knowing the gentleman to be a lawyer,
promptly replied, “ If my almanack don't deceive
me, the Sun will change when Lawyers go to
Heaven, fir." This Itory from the Quaker,
wrought such an affeft on the Lawyer's mind,
that he, on reflection upon the principles of the
profeffion, actually quittedit, and turned a drift
Quaker.
