BY pride and obstinacy tofs'd,
I thirteen provinces have loft.
I've loft the nation films immense,
And all with planfiok pretense.
I've loft my honor, lott my fame,
And loft my country her great name:
Lacks of Rupees, and Indian pelf,
I too have lott—and loft myfeif.
I've loft, alas ! oh, dire disgrace !
To fay the whole— Pie lag my place.
And, worse than all I've 16(1 before,
I've loft all hope of fifing more. N— b.

TO THE GODS.
YE Gods' who fit and live at rest.
Attend to hear my wishes ;
I'am in a hurry to be blelt,
So, pray be expeditious.
Grant me—let's fee—now, if you please,
This very moment grant—
Plague take it—how vexatious this !
I can't think what I want.
From the Balance.
EDUCATION.
BOTH in the natural and moral world, men
“ reap what they sow." A piece of ground,
that is ot a prolific nature, if it be originally loan
with the feeds of useless & pernicious plants, uill
not fail to flioot up a correspondent crop ; and in
the meat time, it will thereafter be very difficult
to raise a growth of good plants thereon; because
the weeds and tares, fpringiug up and growing
thickly a^d luxuriously, will choak the good feed,
so that if wall be rendered unfruitful. And so it
is with the human mind. If it be preoccupied
with evil feed ; it the feeds of obstinacy, idleness,
or any vices whatever, get root therein, a good
culture will become difficult if not impossible.
The germ of education, in every person, is formed
at a very early age. Either the good or the evil
feed begins to be sown in the young mind, alincft
as soon as the child leaves its mother's arms ; and
it is not uncommon, that the character is, in a
manner fixed for life even before the age of ten.
In the earliest moments of the human exigence,
the infantile mind is a kind of a blank ; —it is des
titute of ideas, but is capable of constantly receiv
ing them from surrounding objects, through the
medium of the senses. It receives impreflions from
whatever comes in contact with its bodily senses,
as foft wax is impressed by the seal ; and the ear
liest impressions, of whatever kind they may be,
are commonly the most deep and lading.
At the fame time, it is not to be overlooked in
the business of education, that there is an obliquity
in the human heart, which renders it prone to e
viL This was perceived by some of the sages e
ven of the pagan world, by one of them was for
cibly represented in the following lines.
“ Video optima praboque ;
Pejora Sequor.”
" 1 fee the right, approve it too ;
Condemn the wrong, and yet the wrong pursue."
The fame sentiment refpe&ing a native perver
seness in the human heart, seems to have prevailed
among the ancient Arabians and Persians ; and ac
cordingly, Mahommed, who in several infiances,
accommodated his impoflure to the antecedent
opinions of those nations, artfully pretended that
the Angel Gabriel took out his heart, and, in or
der to render it perfectly pure, wrung from it a
drop of black blood.
While it is a leading article of the scripture
creed, that human nature has been seized with a
moral malady and is prone to evil, biftory and ex
perience evidently concur with the divine tellimo
ny, This lapsed condition of man, while it in
creases the difficulties of education, ought to give
an incentive therein to greater indudry and exer
ious. As a husbandman bellows more labour

CONSTANCY IN DEATH.
A Song, sung by a Hindu Woman, on the point
of being burned with her Husband :tranfa
tedfrom the Hindu language and originally
published in Calcutta.
HASTE ! haste ! With speed the sacred pile
Prepare, which ihdl my form cotifame.
At death in Caffah's arms I'll finite,
And joyful meet so blelt a doom.
With him a life of love I've patt,
With him a death of love I'll die ;
On his cold cotfe my body call,
In his dear arms all pain defy.
When Caffah liv'd, with throbs of joy
I saw love sparkle in his eyes ;
Nought could our happiness deflroy,
While fort we heav'd love's tender fighss
Endearing smiles, and kindest deeds
Still made as bless each happy day,
But ah ! no jay in life succeeds
To me, if Caffah be away#
No more to gate on his lov'd charms,
To be no more his faithful care :
The object of his fond alarms,
The partner of his frugal fare,
Detefled thought ! with joy I mount
The sacred pile by me prepar'd,
Ijoy fol die on love's account,
And Brama (hall my zeal reward.
In the fair form of spotless doves
Should Brama chufe we (till may live,
Wander o'er joy'd through verdant groves,
And in new beauteous shapes revive,
Then light the pile, dissolve this frame
Os human woe, of human care :
Since still our fouls fhail be the fame !
On wings of love we'll mount in air.
She said—and ftrewling flowers around,
O'er joy'd as on her bridal day,
Heard the last fatal music found,
Which warn'd her Brama to obey#
Then mounting the funereal pile,
With looks serene the welcom'd death,
Embrac'd her Caffah with a smile,
And in his arms relign'd her breath !

THE LAMENTATION
Os a fallen Statesman, recounting bis Losses in
a Soliloquy.
upon that ground, which, though rich, has a par
ticular aptness to shoot op with weeds, so the apt
ness that there is in human nature to be prolific in
vice, calls for a correspondent increase of care
and endeavors, that by a good education attended
with the divine blessing, the drop of black blood in
to the heart may be expunged. SENEX.
