Same from thefiranded <vtfel force their way,
frearful of fate, they meet it in the feu :
Some who ejeape the fur, of the wave,
Sicken on earth, and Jink into a grave :
In journeys or at home, in tvar or peace
By hardfoipt many, many fall by ease.

Rheums chill the winter, agues blast the ipring,
Wet, dry, cold, hot at the appointed hour,

A fly, a grape fone, of a nair can kill.

THB miseries to which human nature is liable
have often been the fubjed of contemplation
—•Viewing the gloomy fide of the question, the feel
ings of a benevolent heart are apt to be exceedingly
agitated., , ,
Man is born unto trouble as the (parks fly up
ward—he cometh forth like a flover and is cut down
—he flourifheth in health and vigour—but continu
eth not —'his days pass like a fliadow, and he is gone
—he eateth in darkness, hath much sorrow, and re
turneth to his original daft and no further rememb
rance of him remains. ...
Death is the law of our nature, the debt which
all must pay, and there is no discharge in that war.
The works of nature wax old and decay—the lofti
eft monuments of human art, pyramids^ cities,
states and empires have their periods.beyond which
they will not endure -all things have a tendency to
change; and man among the re# of the creation,
when called by providence, must submit to part
with the life which was given him.—The great
and the good, the wife and the prudent.the leaned
and the ignoran jhe renoaned and the ebfcure f <he
prince and the peasant, are all traveling the road
wiich lead to the grave.„
The time of our departure is utterly uncertain, &
the accidents which may deprive us of life are in
numerable.^ An unexpeded bruise, an undesigned
blow, a fall from a horse, the scratch of a pin, the
pairing of a nail, or the daft of a wall, may be
made the inftruraent& of immediate death thus

obtained —and durelianus in the midst of a dance.
Diseases & deaths, lays an engenious author, are
fectefly lurking every where—nhey are in our bo
soms, in our bowels,in every thing we taste, in ev.
cry thing we enjoy— we have death dwelling with
us'in our houses, walking with us in the fields,lying
down with us in our beds, and wrapped about us in
eur very clothes, always ready, at the divine com
mand to kive the fatal blow.—ls heaven permits

existence alloted to man in this trAnfitory slate,
though gloomy, is interesting and may be rightly

were made—to afccrtain the duties incumbent up
