You finn'd a flame in every breast.!
*Twas thine, in her imperial hand,
Tne cold to warm, the proud subdue;
befemale F ranklin’s magic wand,
Olivia’s feeptre, sweet bamboo!
Whene’er the Nymph difplay’d thy charms.
Thy airy flutter, graceful move;
Each bofpm, throbbing, fef: alarms.
Appear’d an Ajpin leaf of love.
And while, too fondly thought the maid.
To smile unseen, when veil’d by you;
Tier tricherous eyes the plot betray’d.
And dazzled through the thin Bamboo !
fignsj with what superior fatisfad ion
does the servant of God remark the
hand of that gracious power which
hath raised him up—which hath hap
pily conduced him through the va-;
rious steps of life—and crowned him
with the most favorable diftindion
beyond his equals, % /

But oh ! Ye loves whence heaves that sigh ?
Aad whence, those tears, ye graces,flow ?

These Chesterfields of ether Rev;
PIETYand gratitude to God con
tribute in a high degree to enli
ven prosperity. Gratitude is a plea
ling emotion. The sense of being dil
tingqifhed by the kindness of another
gladdens rhe heart, warms it with re
ciprocal affeAion, and gives to any
possession, which is agreeable in itfelf
a double relish, from its being the
gift of a friend. Favors conferred by
men, I acknowledge, may prove bur
thenfome; for human virtue is never
perfeft; and sometimes unreasonable
expectations on the one fide, some
times a mortifying sense of depen
dance on the other, corrode in secret
the pleasure of benefits and cpnyen
the obligations of friend (hip into
grounds of jealousy. But nothing of
this kind can affeCt the intercourse of
gratitude with Heaven. Its favors are
wholly difimerefted : and with agrat
itude r the mod cordial and unfufpi
cious, a good mam looks op to that

others more elegantly; some few have
more piety and godliness for their

romances, pamphlets of wantonntfs

Finis y and this is the last word in
every book : such is,the life ot man :
some longer, some shorter: some
weaker, some stronger; some finer,
some coarser; some holy, some pro

God hath appointed all men a once to

day of judgement.

from a woman who flood near him.
One the officers not pleased with the
fellow’s want of decorum,particularly
in the presence of men veiled with
such lawful authority, “ what do you
mean bv laughing, fellow? 1 took two
pounds from you last week — “ill
lay you a guinea of ir,” said the
countryman. —” Done replied the
officer, and immediately put a guin
ea into the hands of a refpetlable
tradesman, who was standing at his
own door. The countryman instantly
covered it; and then, with a trium
phant grin, said ” d—n your thick
fcull, if it had been two pounds could
you have taken it from me ? was it
not for being short of that weight
that I loft it. ” —The officer wanted
to explain, but the gentleman who
held the stakes was so pertedly con
vinced that he gave the countryman
the two guineas instantly, with which
he walked off in triumph amidst the
hazzas of the surrounding populace.
