HUZZA! &»a! afecond chace,
Another WOLF is in the place
The neighbors cry-Moth out! tiirn out!
This foe to all Our ffieepfOlds rout,
Thenews like lightning fpreadsaroririd
Each man prepares with horse& boded
The ravenous /%/in haste td hunt:
And of all dangers stands the brunt:
The Client's tale the Latyer heats,
But must ,bride the chace, he swears ;
The Printer quits hi^ press and paper,
And hurries On to join the caper. ;
The Merchant from his fliop escapes,
The Taylor leaves his thread & tape! ;
The Miller quits hit drill, and Ries
To seize his stead, and forward hies ;
ThtCobler leaves his lad in hade.
To seek the Wolf dec desert's waited
The Hatter. mounts, with whip & spur
.And joins the chace, to gain the,?, ;
The firn#, quits his team, and runs
To(hare thf sport with Nimrod's Tons;
Thtßarber leaves the bead half dreft,
His mind with hunting is impreft ;
Nor yet the cup can Landlord fill,
But hunts the Wolf, o'er dale and bill;
And even Ltjlaieri try
To raise thro' town thehae and cry;
Os all profeffions tome assemble,
To make the fhcep destroyer tremble.
Onward they path with rapid march,
And every hole and crevice search ;
They search in vain thro'ihick&thin;
At length each face bespeaks chagrin:
Fatigu'd and worried, all declare
No longer they the chace will Ihare.
One effort more they soon agreed
To make then homeward to proceed.
The Wolf! the Wolf! I fee, fays one,
First cy'd the fpot,then cock'd his gun;
All eager gape the prey to seize,
And furious rush through slumps and
trees;.
Just as they reach the mountain's top,
They fee the Wolf from thicket pop :
When, oh ! by all that's orthodox,
The Wolf turn'd out a ,oor,Gre,Fox.

Jewish Anecdote.
C^=—B<. _ ••
A' LL mankind seem to
be agreed, that some
kind of unity is absolutely
necessary ; but they have, for
the most part,underflow it
wrong ; and have, therefore,
proposed impossible And ro
mantic schemes, which can
never take place—and their
very zeal for unity has oc
casioned infinite and incu
rable divisions. Arid thus
it must ever happen, to the
disturbance of the peace of
societies, civil and religious,
unless we aim at an unity
that is poffi^le and natural. 1
Now this cannot be uni-I
ty of belief and speculative
opinion, because men's un
derstandings, their oppor
tunities for enquiry, their
means of knowledge, are
vastly different; and while
these differences continue
(asthey doubtless will, being
a part of the original con
ftituti6n of things, to the
end of the world), it is ab
surd to expert that their ap
prehensions will be exactly
the fame. This kind of uni
ty is above the present state
and circumstances of hu
man nature ; tyrants may
attempt to force it, the craf
ty and ambitious may eager
ly contend for it, to serve
their secret purposes ; and
the bigot, from felf-conceit,
and narrowness of mind—
but the thing itfelf can ne
ver subsist, unless the con
dition of men be entirely
changed, and their nature
new modelled. Their facul
ties must be railed to the
fame degree of strength and
clearness, and their helps &
advantages must likewise be
equal, before it can be sup
posed that t^eir fentimehts
will perfe&ly,and constant
ly correfpond,even in points
of momentand importance.
Or, however, there is but
one possible way, by which
such an unnatural union
can be introduced ; and that
is, by the blind,unthinking
compliance, and implicit
stupidity of the generality
of mankind.
But if this be admitted as
true—viz. that unity of o
pinion is a thing never like
ly to happen,from the frame
of human nature,; may we
not accord in one outward
profeffion,&; agree to main
tain, in all matters of con

UNITY and PEACE.
sequence, for the fake of re
gularity and peace, an har
mony of founds,though our
inward sense be diffcrent ?
It is certain that men may
confeht to this ; but what
valuable end will it answer?
Is such an unity as this de
ifirable, that can only be sup
ported by barefaced hypo
crisy, that changes real
religion for formality, and
has a dired tendency to ba
hifh Virtue out of the world,
and destroy the firft foun
dations of mutual faith and
confidence ? Can that be a
pleasing unity, which dif
figures human nature, and
represents it,to outward ap
pearance, quite opposite to
what 'it is in itfelf? Canit
be ah agreeable thing, al
ways to wear a mask, & be
Obliged to conceal the true
sentiments of our hearts ? or
can such an unity as this,
deserve to be styled good,
which must effectually pre
vent the propagation of
truth, & all thole improve
ments and difeoveries which
we are capable of commu
nicating one to another,
which can only serve to
transmit ignorance & dark
ness perpetual and inviola
ble to all generations ?
As the whote bf this is
neither religion nor com
mon sense, but substituting
a mere name and pretence of
order,inthe room of that na
tural order which Almighty
God has established; peace
and harmony, so far as they
are worthy to be our care,
and contribute to the pur
poses of virtue, and the good
of mankind, may, unquef
tionably,be preierved with
out it. To agree in opini
on is entirely out of our
power. To profefs, alike,
whilst we believe different
ly, is base, difhoneft,and de
ftru&ive of the most sacred
obligations,&,upon that ac
count,ought never to be the
matter of our choice.—So
that neither of thefexan be
any part of that unity which
we are bound to cultivate,
as a religious&; moral duty;
but the whole sum of it must
be resolved into this; that
condefeention, mutual for
bearance, and an harmony
of mild, benevolent affeai
ons supply the place of that
uniformity of faith and
profeffion, which are, mo
rally speaking, impossible.
