<My dark, unarming shades below ;
Nor Summer bud perfume the dew.
Os rosy blu(h or yellow hue ;
Nor fruits of Autumn, bloflom-born,
"My green and glossy leaves adorn;
Nor mun^tlng tribes from me derive

Spare, Woodman, spare the Beechen-Tree I
Thrice twenty Summers I have seen
I The Iky grow bright, the sorest green !
' And many a Wint'ry wind have flood,
In bloomiefs, fruitlefs solitude,
Since childhood in my pleasant bow'r,
First spent its sweet and sportive hour— >
Since youthful lovers in my shade/

And on my trunk's surviving frame
Carv'd many a long forgotten name.

breath'd upon this sacred ground—

Beauty heard with ravilh'd ear,
Hove's our altar, honor me—

A MAN i& every thing that's bad,
Who always tries to make us fad ;
A noisy, filly, foolifh creature,
Perverting always human nature ;
At morn, at noon, at eve, at night,
They never give an hour's delight ;
• At morn there's nothing that can please them,
At noon there's fometliing sure to tease them.
At eve they always look perplex'd,
' At night they're certain to be vex'd,
, Thus every night and every day,
Let us endeavor every way
To please this mortal, we mull fail,
While they will florin and scold, and rail,
Arid yet we women must submit
To what the creature man thinks fit:
Be fubjett to hip ridicule,
Be call'd vile names as or fool,
Be laugh'd at and abus'd and blam'd,

For what / because the foolifh elves,
Think they know every thing themselves. ™'

AFTER all the happiness afforded from exter.

true substantial felicity mult be fought for in his

Things around us are often delusive, not to be
depended on.—But if we place our happiness in
the approbation of bur own conference, we (hall
not bedeceived. An honest, feif-approving heart
fortified by religion, is proof against the attacks
of misfortune.——When hard beats the storm of
adversity, and afflictions black wing is expanded,
the foul then retires to its own cattle, shelters itfelf

In the reign of Lewis the Thirteenth of France,
there was art Ambaflador fentby hintto the Court
of Spain ; the Spaniards are of a haughty temper
expecting more than ordinary submissions from
those woo approach the Ring's presence. This
Ambassador on the fame ground, was required to
do some homage, which would not contift: with
the inftruftions of his matter, qnd therefore he re
fund to comply ; the King ofiSpain thinking to
" put him out of countenance, said aloud'" What,
has the King of France no other men in his court
that he fends to me such a fool as this ?''to which
the Ambassador replied, '' Mymafter has many
wiser men than I about him, but to such a King
