AUTUMN.—An Ode.
AFAS' .with fwift and blent pace,
Impatient time rolls on the year ;
The seasons change, and nature's lace
Now sweetly smiles, now frowns severe.
7 T vas Spring,'twas Summer, all was gay,
Now Autumn bends a cloudy brow ;
The flow'rs of Spring are swept away,
And summer fruits desert the bough.
The verdant leaves that play'd on high,
And wanton'd on the welteru breeze,
Now trod in dull neglected lie,
As Boreas strips the bending trees.
The fields that wav'd with golden grain,
As russet heathes are wild and bare,
Not moist with dew, but drench'd in rain;
Nor health nor pleasure wanders there.
No more, while thro' the midnight (hade,
Beneath the moon's pale orb 1 stray,
Soft pleasing woes my heart invade,
As Progne pours the melting lay.
From this capricious clime (he soars,
O would some god but wings fopply !
To where each morn the Spring reltores,
Companion of her flight, I'd fly.
Vain wish ; my fate compels to bear
The downward seasons iron reign,
Compels to breathe polluted air,
And shiver on a biafted plain.
What bliss to life can Autumn yield,
If glooms, and fhow'rs, and jiorms prevail ;
And Ceres flies the naked field,
And flow'rs, and fruits, and rhoebus fail !
O ! what remains, what lingers yet,
To cheer me in the dark'ning hour ?
The grape remains, the friend of wit,
In love and mirth of mighty pow'r.
Haste, press the clhfter, fill the bowl ;
Apollo ! (hoot thy parting ray :
This gives the funihine of the foul,
Ths god of health, and verse, and day.
S:iil, fidl the jocund drain (hall flow,
The pulse with vigorous rapture beat ;
My Stella with new charms thall glow, 1
And every bliss in wine shall meet.

FRIENDSHIP;
OR THE DOG AND THE CAT MORALIZED.
The generous and felfifh kinds of friendihip, as
they exili among mankind, are exemplified in the
dog and the cat. The dog, whose attachment
you have gained, is never alienated by any change
that can ,happen in your circumflauces. Il you
are difpoiled of your property, turned out of
doors, dripped naked, or eloathed in rags ; If
you are disgraced, buffetted and spurned by the
lift and by the toot of insolence, your dog Itill
cleaves to you, and his affection seems to increase
with the increase of your needs. He will cheer
fully follow you to the ends of the earth ; and
for the fake of your company, or to sooth you in
didrefs, will voluntarily endure hunger and cold
and even expose his own life to deftruaion. That
is friendship of the noble kind. Fortunate is the
man, or the woman, whoiras obtained even a few
friends, of the human specie, of this generous fort.
" Their price is above Rubies."
But no inch is the friendihip of the cat. She,
as well as the dog is domesticated ; but her at
tachment is to your house, and not to your per
son. If you leave your house, die will not follow
you ; but chufes to live withthe next owner, fcl
fifhly abiding where the has enjoyed a warm kitch
en and good fare.—lf you hold out to her a luf
cious morsel, the will pur about you and put on
the airs of attachment and fondnefs . •but (he ne
ver offers to sooth you in distress ; and she quick
ly torfakes you, when you cease to feed her. This
felfilh, cat-like friendihip is common among man
kind. The wisest among men observed, “ Many
will entreat the favour of the prince ; and every
nun is a friend to him that giveth gifts." On the
other hand, he remarked, " All the brethren of
the poor do hate him ; how much more do his
friends go far from him ? He purfueth them with
words, but they are wanting to him."
As a consolation to topers we state the follow
ing fact :— A farmer of the department of Mor
binan in France, died a few days ago, at the ad
vanced age of 94 —He boafled, some days before
his death; of having in the course of his life drank
1300 barrels of cyder, 260 hogsheads of wine, and
60 pipes of brandy, real Nantz. He was married
three times, had several children by eacih of his
wives ; and the day prevjous to his death be was at
the wedding of the granddaughter of one of the
girls he had by his firft wife. Lend, ,ap.
Siolidus had a fortune left him, and was withal
profufely liberal ; and consequently he had many
friends. His large mansion was crowded with
them, day and night. Soon, however, it happen
ed that his fortune was dissipated, & the iron hand
of poverty began to oppress him. But be had
Bill one consolation left. “ I have spent my est
tate," said Stolidos to himfelf, " but I have made
to myfelf numerous friends." It was not long be
fore he had urgent occasion to try their friendihip,
when, la ! to his utter confufion, he found that
all his friends were of the cat-character. While
he owned the great house and kept a sumptuous
table, they fondly clave 'to him ; but when all
was gone, they flood aloof, and fhnnned him, as
if he had been covered with a foul leprosy.
Halt thou a real friend ?—Prize the blessing,
and take heed not to lose it by imprudence, or
negligence. Also whenever thou art making
splendid profeffions of friendihip, as); thy heart,
whether they do not contain the corrupt leas en of
hypocrisy, or, whether thy own friendihip toward
others be not too much of the cat-kind.

Some may be furptized that this medicine thould be prescribed

Dr. Hamilton's ELIXIR^
A sovereign remedy for holds, obllindte coughs, Asthmas, tore

Thousands are too well acquainted with the nature and cffc&<
of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the abbve
complaint»=dear bought-efyerience has taught them that oily
and heating medicines, joined with strong opiates (or flcepy diugs)-
repeated doses of which flatter and deceive the patient for the
present, by procuring momentary tyfe ; experience, 1 fay, has
taught thousands that the common opiates and balfamics, as they
are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the bread and lungs,
in their molt distressing symptoms, that they load the stomach
and impair the digehiod, inflame the whole system; increase the
difficulty of breathing,,and excite fever. But the quality of this
valuable difeovefy are evidenced by perfectly opposite effects. A
SINGLE TRIAL WILL PROVE that it restores the determination
of the fluids to the furface of the body,.and brings on the com
mon healthful perspiration ; that it dislodges arid evacuates the
tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels
of the lungs, Sheathes the acrimonious humours which irritate
the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus striking at the root
of the disorder, the symptoms are of course effedualiy and per
manently conquered, the reverse of common medicines which
weaken the constitution and give ttrength to the disorder, for
the fake of moderating for rise prefen: some of its painful effects.
