From the Virginia iNDEfeEriDkNT
Chronicle. _
ODE,
For the BIRTH DAY of THE
PRESIDENT,
by the Rev. Thomas Thornton,
TTAIL to the fun. whole circling
Once more revolves the happy day
That gave out- HERO birth ;
Prepare the feaft, in pairs advance,
To raise the song; or lead the dance,
To jollity and mirth.
CHORUS.
Blow the trumpet, fodnd the flute;
Tune the Viol, strike the lute,
And let ev'ry free-born foal
Chaunt his name from Pole to Pole;
Ambition fir'd the chiefs of old.
To fight for empire, or for gold;
How few for Liberty :
But he was born, by Heav'h defign'd,
To scourge th' oppreflers of mankind,।
And set th' oppressed free;
Czfar and Philip's frantic ton;
With irms&chains, the world o'er tun,
To gratify their pride:
Benevolence and valour join'd;
Display the greatneft of hid mind;
And all his actions guide;
Nassau forfoofc his native land;
Great Britain's ruin to withstand,
And he the nation fav'd r
Great Marlbro' led her conquering
, force,
Where nothing could retard his course
And ev'ry danger brav'd.
_ ~ William's high deeds a crown ob
tain'd,
A Prince's title Marlbro ' gain'd ;
But greater is His claim,
Thirteen United People's prayers,
Their Soldier's hearts, their Senate's
cares,
Are offer'd all for him.
Propitious viaoty has spread
A grove of laurels found his head,
A peace his conquest crown'd :
May no malignant spirit dare,
With baneful breath, God grant my
prayer,,
, His Fame or Peace to wound.
But may kind Angels near him wait,
To bear, him late, O very late,.
From hence to realms above t
And may he be permitted there,
As with his arm he freed us here,
To speed us with his love.
'.chorus.
Blow the trumpet, &c. &c.
RECITATIVE.
Had I my favorite Prior'# happy
sing hiwrtymphs in a noble strain;
Nassau or MAyBRo' (hon'd not
brighter shine.
In bolder figures, or a fmoothor line ;
Ensigns and Trophies fhou'd adorn
his bowers,
And Vernon's Mount rite high a, Bto
brim's towers.
CHORUS. 'I
Blow the Trumpet, &c. &c.
THE CONTENTED MANS
SOLILOQUY.
Mv portion is not large ,ndeed,
But then how little do I need,
For nature's wants are few ,
Iff this the. art of living lies,
To want no more then may fuffice,
And make that little do.

THE MAN IN BUSINESS.
AMAN in business is known at
one by his air and gait; and
in my numerous and extensive walks
through the streets of this large and
populous city,!do not ktow that 1 was
ever deceived io my judgment on the|
matcert There is a certain fmartnrfs 1
of demeanour attendant upon this de
scription of men, that is totally un
known to those in a contrary fituaten,
but is also transferred to them in a
moment when a good job of employ
falls into their clutches. A man in
business always walks faft, not caring
whbfe heels or toes he treads on ; His
(hoes are constantly kept wgll blacked,
his buckles cleaned, his coat and hat
brujhed, his beard close (haven, and
his hair-decently combed, cueued and
powdered. His eye has an in folent
glance, and is commonly fixhd upon
something at a distance before him,
now and then upon the ground, but
now upwards. If he (tops to talk
with you, he looks firft at your shoes,
then at your flockings, and so gradu
ally Advances up to your hat: If your
habit and person answer to his ideas
of a man i* business he fmi|es upon
you as bone of his bone and fieih of
his Heth ; if not, he bids you an ever
iafting adieu, ahd walk, off with as
little ceremony as possible. —He rarely
looks into the faces of those he meets,
minds nothing that passes on the op
polite fide of the way, and in fine, is
little better than a preambulating ma
chine, until he comes to the feene of
aftion, his counting-house, cr his
law-ffiop.
THE MAh OUT OF BUSINESS,
LET us now confider the reverse
of the Medal, My dear Mr. Momus,
and we (hall find the contrary criteri
on to be equally certain. —And here
I cannot be otherwise than melancholy
because at this individual moment I
perceive Jjm,atby forcibly and fenfisly
exertipg herfelf in my bosom: Bit 1
will finifh what I have begun before I
am disconcerted by recollection.
A man out of business moves but
ftowly and heavily along, and that,
too, with his hands in his coat pocket!
—He pays a most patient and partic
ular attention to the physiognomies of
all those he meets, as if willing to dis
cover, without giving offence, wheth.
er of not they are in the fame difeon-.
folate fitnation with himfelfr Every
step he takes (hows humility: His
heart bleeds within him if he fees but
a dog ill-used =Can it bo then, m, dear
Mr. Momus, that humanity in a mdn is
oftentimes nothing more than the casual
offspring of quant and neceffit, !
He is fond of flopping at retail
(hops, and seem particularly happy
when he has reliance of exchanging
a few words with the man Rationed
behind the counter. His mouth is
generally dpen, and most particularly
so when he casts his eyes toward the
upper windows ofthe houfes^r when
he takes a walk among the (hambles.
He never passes an innholder's Rg#
without carefullyreadingwhat is there
on written for his inftrudipn, and as
carefully examines the device or paint
nag that is likewise exposed for his
edification. If he takes up a gazette,
he pays no attention to the news
paragraphs or essays until he has read
over the advertisements from beginn
ing to the end. His shoes are com
monly dusty, his hat cocked with
pins, and his ^air or wig cruelly to
gle&ed. If he steps into the hoofs of
an acquaintance his visits are always
too long, and his conversation, while
there, most commonly turns upon the
Scarcity of money; or the peculiar and'
unparalleled poverty and rafcality of
the prefect age,
