APOLOGY
To a Lady, on faying "ber Apnearanue would
Jr@en tbe devil.
YOU frown'd my dear maid,
When laughing I said,
That your face, it would frighten the Devil;
'Twas a compliment meant
With no wicked intents„
And which no one can construe to evil.
My judgment was (hewn
To an angel alone,
And truly I meant ty be civil:.

Youth and a virtuous Old Age, are fraught ^ith
pleasure ; hut a^ive middle age, diftraaed wtb
business, is a Jeene of care.
IN pleasing dreams of airy bliss.
Oar youthful moments flow ;
Soft fancy smooths the hours with peace.
The busy scenes of troubled life,
Ambition, care and noise,
Curse manhood's Rate with jarring ftrife,
And poison all out joys :
Then fierce contending passions sway,
The panting anxious breast ;
Perfuits for wealth employ each day,
And man can find no rest :
When youth my blood with rapture warm'd,
And care was quite unknown,
No angry ftrife my face deform d,
And pleasure rul'd alone:
But age unkindly from my eyes.
The sweet delusion tore ;
My bosom, fill'd with constant sighs,
Knew peace and joy no more.
Andhufhes every woe:
But when stern manhood breaks the spell.
Our life itfelf appears,
As all our fathers knew too well,
A dreary vale of tears.
Or love, lays feftering in the heart,
And banishes oar peace;
The nymph who firft has caus'd the smart.
Alone, can bid it cease ;
But Should the fair relentless prove,
And frown with dread disdain,
Heaven's noblest passion, generous lave,
Would be a source of pain.
Thus drawing near the verge of heav n,
We feel its influence more,
And larger stores of joy are given,
As we approach that shore ;
So in our youth when firft we leave,
The realms of innocence,
From reason's voice we must believe;
We draw our ptafurer thence. EUGENIO#
Thus real woes on man attend,
When in his strength and prime;
Tho' virtue may some comforts fend,
Her rays but feebly thine ;
Temptations throng and vice appears,
In beauteous robes arrayed ;
We court the charms the harlet swears,
But than the sacred maid.
But when time's hand has blanch d the head,
We fink in life's decay,
Our noisy passions all are dead,
And tranquil pinafores play ;
Again we dream of airy bliss,
Our years serenely roll,
Religion fills the heart with peace,
And reason guides the foul.

A MORAL SONG.
ANECDOTE.
THE following incident late oc
curred in one of the eastern
States. A French Gentleman, total
ly unacquainted with our language,
being introduced to a circle of young
ladies and gentlemen in a country
town, after the usual compliments
had passed, he seated himfelf beside a
beautiful young lady ; and being de
prived of the fatisfaaion of convers
ing with her, his countenance how
ever expressed the sentiments of his
heart, he seized her by the hand, she
requested him to be easy; which he
mistook for the French word, baifez
(kiss me) began killing her, to the
great mirth of the whole company.
The consequence was that the ladies
came to a unanimous determination
never to fay, " be easy," to a French
man.
