—<<l4^^g^^y^l)^.).,—
From Campbell's " Pleasure of Hope."
Ye that the rising morn invidious mark.
And hate the light—because your deeds are dark ;
Ye that expanding truth invidious view,
And chink, or with the long of hope untrue ;
Perhaps your little hands prefame to span
The march of Genius, and the powers of Man ;
Perhaps ye watch, at pride's unhallow'd flirine,
Her victims, newly slain, and thus divine :
Here mail thy triumph, Genius, cease, and here
Truth, Science, Virtue, close your Ihort career."
Tyrants ! in vain ye trace the wizard ring ;
In vain ye limit mind's unwearied spring;
What ! can ye lull the winged winds asleep,
Arrest the Tolling world, or chain the deep ?
No :—the wild wave contems your feepter'd hand ;
it roll'd not back when Canute gave command !
Man ! can thy doom no brighter foul allow ?
Still must thou live a blot on Nature's brow ?
Shall War's polluted banner ne'er be furl'd ?
Shall crimes and tyrants cease but with the world ?
What ! are thy triumphs, sacred Truth, belied ?
Why then hath Plato liv'd —or Sydney died ?
###*#*
—Yes !in the generous cause, for ever fltong,
The patriot's virtues and the poet's song,
Still as the tide of ages rolls away,
Shall charm the world, unconfeious of decay !
—Yet, yet degraded men ! the expected day
That breaks your bitter cup, is far away ;
Trade, Wealth, and Fashion, a/k you fall to bleed,
And Holy men give Scriptare fir the deed ;
Scourg'd and debas'd no Briton Goops to save
A wretch, a coward—yes, because a SLAVE !
Eternal Nature I when thy giant hand
Had heav'd the floods, and fix'd the trembling
land,
When life sprung flartling at thy plastic call,
EyUeJf her fprm, and man the lord of all ;
Say,'was that lordly form injfired by thee,
To wear eternal Chains, and bow the knee ?
Was man ordain'd the save of man to toil,
Yok'd with the brutes, and fetter'd to the foil,
Weigh'd in a tyrant's balance with his gold ?
No ! —Nature flamp'd us in a heav'n§ mould !
She bade no wretch his thankless labor urge,
Nor, trembling, take the pittance and the
scourge 1
No homeless Libian, on the stormy deep,
To call upon his country's name and weep !
FORMIDABLE BREAST-WORK.
Throughout the whole extent of female
fashionable tallies, at the present day, the art
of creatinga formidable breafl-work, is by
far the most important and most fuccefsful
ly cultivated. —By former engineers, a
breast-work was conftruded solely for de
fence ; but modern female ingenuity has con
verted it into an irrefiftable method of attack.
PIETY may be properly represented a vigilent
friend, tender and rational ; it lets us fee the vari
ous blessings of life—but calls us to the idea of
gratitude, in order to augment our happiness, by
refering it to the most generous of all benefac
tors. It allows usto exercise our faculties and ta
lents—but recals to the idea of inconflancy and ill
liability, to preserve us from a fatal intoxication
—lt is always with ns, not to dilturb our felicity
—not to impose useless privations but to blend it
felf with our thoughts, and to unite to all our pro
jefts those mild and peaceable ideas which attend
wisdom and moderation. In short in the day of
adversity, when our strength is broken, in which
we have placed our confidence, Piety comes to
fuccbtand condole us ; It (hows us the nothingness
of Vanity and worldly allusions : it calms the re
morse of our fouls by reminding us of a particular
Providence, It fottens our regrets, by presenting
more worthy hopes than any earthly object can af
ford, in order to engage our inurefb and fix our
attention.
SCRAP.
AVARICE may pile ; robbery may plunder ;
mines may be opened, hidden treasures may be
discovered : gametters may win cash ; conquerors
may win kingdoms ; but all such means of acquir
ing riches are transient and determinable ; while
induitry and commerce, are the natural, the living,
the never failing foundations from whence the
wealth of this world can alone be taught to flow.

CEREMONr of aRUSSLAN MARRIAGE
OF all nations the Ruffians seem to behave most
wifely in the circumstance of jealousy. The wife
promises her husband never to let him fee her trans
gression ; and he as punctually promises, whenever
foe is detected, without the lead anger, to beat her
without mercy ; so they both know what each has
to expett ; the lady transgresses, is beaten, taken
again into favor, and all goes on as before. When
a Ruffian young lady, therefore is to be married,
her father with a cudgel in his hand, alks the
bridegroom whether he chooses this virgin for
his bride ? to which the other replies in the af
firmative. Upon which the father turning the
lady three times round, and giving her three
strokes with his cudgel on the back, “ my dear,"
cries he, “ these are the last blows you are ever to
receive from your tender father ; I resign my au
thority and my cudgel to your husband ; he knows
better than me the use of either." The bride
groom knows decorum too well to accept of the
cudgel abruptly ; he allures the father that the
lady never will want it, and that he would not
for the world make any use of it. But the father,
who knows what the lady may want better than
he, insists upon his acceptance. Upon this, there
follows a scene of Ruffian politeness, while one re
fufes, and the other offers the cudgel. The whole,
however, ends with the bridegroom's taking it,
upon which the lady drops a courtfey in token of
obedience, and the ceremony proceeds as usual.
