Some time agnthe &v. Ezra Stiles, Pre
text of hfy College, vifoed Ben
nington, anil struck with the ap
pearance of the country, vegetation be
ing then in fall bloom, remarked, that
it brought Jlrongly to bis -view the land
of promise ; the Hocfsck rejemblod, i&
bis mind, the beautiful river Jordan ;
mount Anthony, near the centre of Ben
nington, mount Olivet ; and the majefick
mountains around the towering heights
of Judea. An ingenious gentleman in
company with thp Prefdent. , leafed with
the sublimity of his ideas, committed them
to verse, and lately favoured as with a
copy,which we now present to the pubitch.
AND thus (he cried) as hufh'd in calm
repose,
O'er Zion's plains the fertile Jordan flows,
Thus rife his banks with palms & willows
crown'd,
Where Salem's daughters to the myftick
found
Os silver cymbals danc'd^-on every fide
Judea's moanains towr^ with airy pride:
Thus Olivet,where erst the incarnate God,
Descending, with his faithful followers
r titrod.
Thence in a cloudlets majesty he rose,
He faw^he faphire valves of heaven un
clofe,
Receiv'd the honors of, the angelick
throng,
And heard their harps awake the ceaseless
song.

The Civilized Man & the Savage-
THE Savage rises in the

runs through the sorest, and
returns loaded with animal
food for his family : Vege

ly under his feet. ,
The Peaiamt gets up'^with
the fun\fo serve hit'mafter's
cattle, water^the foil with the
sweat of his brow, andrefleQs
that all this is not fob him
felf
The Savage has in abun
dance the viands that please
him, the drink which he pre
fers, and receives every thing
as it is prepared by the hand
of Nature.
The civilized Man has but
a scanty pittance of unsavory
?'food, i^ D
With his wants, and to quench
his thirff with an unwhole
'fome beverage.
' The inhabitant of the woods
corifiders his desires as the
blessings of nature, since he
can choose and vary his plea
lures at his will.
„ The Civilized Man is ob
liged to concentre his hap
piness in one object ; if fick
'nefs pfr accidents incapacitate
<him, ttere remains to him
nothing but, uneasiness and

The other is encompassed
with chains.—Kings, go

judices, a& every instant up

The former feels no anxi

a family, however numerous
it may be, is tormented by
no tributes, no burthens, the
appendages of social life.
The latter has continually

voice of the tax gatherer at
his door, and is frequently at
a fofs how to provide eloath
