He (poke—when, lo ! before his eyes—
As flames thro' (mouldering smoke arise —
The Suppliant rose, transform'd and bright,
A native of the realms of light !
A fun of splendor grac'd her breast,
A zealous rage her eye confefs'd,
As thus, with action dignified,
And awe commanding voice, she cried—
“ Detefled wretch! immers'd in gain,
And harden'd co another's pain,
Thon doit the atributes abuse
Os him whose name thou dur'll to use ;
And, whilst thou pleaded Virtue's cause,
Liv'd the transgressor of her laws !
No fault is there in Providence,
On which you found your dale pretence,
Nor are your fellow-creatures' crimes
Sole causes of unhappy times —
Deep in your breast the evil dwells —
There Av'rice lurks in hidden cells ;
And there the Sorceress plies her art,
Which turns to adamant the heart.
In me behold thy deadliefl so
My name is TRUTH ; and daemon ! know.
The slumberer Confidence I can wake,
And bid her guilty victims quake.—
Unless Repentance seize thy foul,
And make thy wounded spirit whole,
Her vengeance (hall pursue thee down
To endless pangs in (hades unknown !
“ SrR,
Though a little black mazzard, like mine, has
been exhibited, upon your boards, to the fatis'bc
tion of thefyubl c,yet as 1 was curfedy hit/n you,
when you gobbled the fruits of your performers
labours, I have made up my mind, that you never
shall make “ two bites of —
CC Vagrant, begone !" the good man cried—
« And hade thy loathsome form to hide ;
To honest labour turn thine hand ;
Forbear thy plaints, and underhand,
That though thou dar'st at Heav'n repine,
'Tis doth and indolence, like thine,
With other crimes combin'd, that call
The chak'ning rod of Heav'n on all ;
Hence fruitless feafous, harvef ldrear,
And all the plagues that blot the year !"
" Do you observe the fine form of that lady ?"
laid a gentleman to his companion, as an unpock
eted elegante tripped by. “No," said foe, " the
ladies carry their barefacedoefs to such lengths,
ghat I never look below their chin."
A panegyric of the fair sex observed, that the
6ofom of a woman was the throne of truth. Aye,
replied another, onr fashionables are probably on
oath, and difeover "the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth." ,
C. PEIRCE has just received an addi
tional assortment ot Books and Stationary'

happy to exchange to those who may want,

Mr. Cherry, ot Drury-Laue Theatre, whose
Chriflian name was Andrew, is called, by his in
timate friends, the Little Merry Andrew ;he was
written to, a few years ago, with an offer of a
very capital engagement, by a pianager, who had
not adted altogether upon the square by him, in
the course of a former connexion ; to which he
wrote the following humorous answer :
CHILL was the air, and wide -round
Defending snow« had cloath'J the ground,
When fhivTiug at the Miller's gate,
In tatter'd weeds a Beggar fat. •
(Zemple of the ^ufeg,
4i^&i'^^i,
[The following fable from the European Maga
zine, of 1801, contains a most excellent moral.]
The Man of Meal, with fluent tongue,
Could reason well of right and wrong ;
He lov'd his friend, his glass, his joke,
But us'd Religion as a cioak;
Wi h Faith and Hope he still was free,
But never practis'd Charity.
To him the wretch her tale addrefs^d
And thus, in piteous (train, express'd :—
" For Heav'n's Tweet fake, kind Sir ! O ! spare
One farthing to a widow's pra>'r ;
Hard are the times, and little know
The rich of poverty and woe :
At home for bread my infants pine,
And ev'ry racking care is mine !"
