LUCIAN.
YE fair, who gild life's dark and devious way :
Cheer the long,eve, and cool the fetching pay ;
With winning foftnefs, chafe from ev'ry brow
The dew of anguish, and the fliade of woe ;
Wake to a finite, the pale, defponding cheek.
And teach the leaden eye the foul to speak.
Around the tear bath'd bed of lingering life,
Where white eye'< | frenzy flares diftrafting grief;
Thy plaflic charms, Real with unbending power,
And each nerve Slackens in the gloomy hpnr.
Thy cheering voice arrests the poor man's sigh,
And warms the chilling death dew round his eye ;
T Wakes hope and comfort in his aged heart,
Keftores to life, or blunts affliction's dart.
Tho', virtuous fair, to you these powers belong ;
And more than ever fwe|l'd the poet's song ;
Yet of thy ^rain there are a heedless few,
Who court disaster and dlfgrace pursue ;
- Who scatter thorns .along life's Hoping way,
And cloud the funfliine of a filler's d,y.
The Tongue, that inftrutnent of heavenly found,
- Form'd to diffufe foft, dulcet, notes around ;
To check wild paffion—folly's tattling quell,
And bend the stubborn heart to reason's will ;
To spread the purest sentiments of foul,
And bid the eye with holy rapture roll;
Excite the sweet effufions of the heart,
And probe the poison of ill nature's dart ;=
hi Slander's cause o'erleap's each sacred bound,
' And drops fell venom in the flighted wound;
Engenders mis'ry on each dear, delight—
DepiftTing foibles, as lewd am of night ;
Railing the blush on virtue's model! cheek,
And utt'ring words, which friends would scorn to
speak.
Daughters of Eve, thy tongue with prudence guard
, And con the meaning of each rising word;
Conlider well all ears attend its found,
While critic prudery spreads its purport round.
Impudence near thee holds her tattling reign,
With ears attentive to the thoughtless ftrairi ;
While Malice mute, with hollow eye appears,
To prick, with gall, each varying note foe hears ;
-Then Discord follows, with malignant grin,
To reap the harvest of each petty fin.
Mild Friendship, trembling, /owns their potent
power ;
Love drops his bow, and quits the Paphian bower.
Thus, from a word, or look, reports are spread,
While lies,' like maggots, breed in Slander's head.

On HUMANITY—By Sterne.
O Humanity !—Heaven-born principle !—True
-and never ceasing source of bliss—happy those,
whose hearts are warm'd with thy sweet and be
nign influence ! Blessed with the divine principle
of thee, we forget ourselves, and leek our dearest
joys, bellowing happiness upon others. By thy
\divine influence we tread the paths of peace,—
and are-led in the dear and blessed footdeps of
ihim,of whom thou art an all-glorious attribute.
By thee we are led to the true and delightful ways
of piety and religion—to the ways of pleasantness
—and to the paths of peace.
• Thrice happy that man, whose foul, impressed
with the true principles of real and pious sensibil
ity, looks up to heaven for an example for his con
du& and behaviour in life—lf blessed with afflu
ence, his chief bliss is to make others happy, and
every time he relieves an obje& from distress, he
feels a joy unutterable ; words want she power
apd language the expression, to declare the de
lightful, fenfitiou he feels ; or indeed supposing
poverty his lot, and that, he has but little, yet, of
that will he adminider relief, and find more com
' fort and real fatisfaftion, than the miser in his
hoard, or the fpendthrift in his pleasures.,

A Reverend gentleman being at a neighbor's
house, was making some obfervatiohs on a °nian
who had lately taken it intp his head to refufe
eating any thing, and to fubfiftby fpiritnal food
alone :—the good mother of the house wished to
know what he intended fhonld support his life ;
and being informed Faith, (lie very soberly arid
honeflly replied, “ I believe he will want a few
DUMPHNS with it."
Wooden aftors,like human ones, are not with
out their loyalty. A puppet (how man, at Bol
ton, in Lancaihire, introduced, byway of inter
lude, a battle between Tom Paine and the Devil !
It is upneceffary to fay that poor Tom very soon
fell into the hands of his sooty majesty ; when the
latter, affided by the rest of his wooden compeers,
fang God save the King over Tom's body : After
• ( which the black gentleman made his bow,and re
'tired with his brother adors, vociferating Church
and King ! .:
Once, said a Quaker, in a dispute concerning
the propriety of titles, I had the honor to be, in
company with an Excellency and an Highness.—
His Excellency was the most ignorant and brutal
of his fpe ies, and his Highness measured just four
feet eight inches without his fhqes. <•
