ceffes,
Rous'd by bis mandate, who from drear,
chaos,
Spoke the creation.
Nature's dread Sovereign forms <etberial
bodies,
Bright and immortal, froth the fcatter'd
atoms ;
See the vafi empire of the King ofter
fours,
Sinking in ruin.
Now bat corruption put on incorruption.
Change bow myflerious ! rob'd in recent
beauty.
View the Redeem'd in their Saviour's
image,
Rifag triumphant.
As the bright myriads which the night
illume,
Gild the wide ether with colleaed radi
ance, ~
So fall the Just thine, in the courts of
beav'n
Ages eternal.
Death, where's your fling ? jour Loaded
porter is baffled —
Grave where's your triumph ? Jefes the
Redeemer
Rose, and amended ; while the profrs
of darkness
Trembled with borrour.
Now deck'd with fplendour, and unfading
glory,
Death's mighty vidor come to judge the
nations,
While countless myriads or blefl faints
and angles, .
Sound forth bis praises.
Los in mute wonder, leave the loft, fub
jed,
Themes fa amazing,mock m, feeble effort ;
' Hail new creation ffeene (üblimel, glo
rious,
Pafl all conception
Spacious concave.
Roaring incessant, and the vived light'-
centre ;
Pafl fas recoiling, leave their banks af
frighted,
Fierce rap'd flames, rife to the verge of
beav'n, , ,
Spreading deflruaion.
Scenelefs terrific, when afloni/hed Sinai ;
Saw th' Eternal veil'd in clouds defeend-
Now rapt in terrours, universal nature
Shakes with amazement.
Hoarse faring thunder: rend heaven's
nings.
Dart their red fa/bet, while the great
Archangel,
Sounds his dire trumpet.
Then in a moment death resigns bis cap-
five ;
Sending forth millions from their dark rt
It's ocean,
And the trumph founding thro' the land
of Jilence
Wakes the dead nations.
Earth hears the summons, trembling to her
ON THE RESURRECTION.
SING m Urana, the fupendous pe
riod,
When time's /aft wave rolls to the bound-
Seat of the Muses.

UPON hearing a Clergyman preach
Eternal Damnation to all ranks
and denominations of the race ° f
Jfo, the following qaeftion was afc
cd him—which if you think proper, be
pleased to pnblifh in your Newspaper.
“If a Sinner dying at the age of
" seventy years, let him have been all
'' his life time ever so profane, de
“ serves, nor can receive no more than
'< Eternal Damnation, what pro-
" portion of the fem: kind of punish
" meat, upon the foregoing Theory,
" ought, in order to the doing lnfi.
" nite justice, to be inflicted on an
" Infant dying at one hout old, on ac
" count of its having necessarily, as
" far as refpeds itfelf, been begotten
" and born of the feed of Adam
The Qjeftion reversed—" If an Infant
" dying as aforefaid, for the reasons
" aforefaid, ought to be puniihed as
" aforefaid, what kind of punilhment
" will be inflicted on the Sinner of
" seventy years of age aforefaid."

Melancholy Tale of a Drunkard
A gentleman having been drinking
in a Tavern till his Head was two
heavy for his Legs to carry, as he was
going home, fell down in the Streets
with his Sword by his Side, being
unable to get up again, when a Man
accidentally coming by, and hearing
the Voice of another that he had a
Spite against, not far from him drew
out the drunken Man's Sword, pursued
his Enemy, and killed him with it.
The watch walking their rounds, and
finding a Man Dead, with a Sword
in his Body, and also the drunken
Man, with a Scabbard by his Side,
without his Sword ; and upon Trial,
finding the Sword in the Dead Man
fitted the drunken Man's Scabbard,
they apprehended him for the Mur
der ; for which he was condemned
and executed.
AT an election in a certain State,
a bye-ftanderobferving the par
ticular situation of a great number
of the electors, who had been regaled
at the expence of one of jhe candi
dates, remarked, on the occasion,
That the voice of the people, was the
voice of Grog.
WHEN we speak co ochers
without a previous (i
--lence to think of what we are
to fay to them, we run a great
hazard of repenting it. How
often does it happen that when
a converfacion is over, we chid
ourselves for the fault we have
committed therein, for want of
chinking? Then a man finds
chat he has a great deal more
wit than fie (hewed when he
spoke; because after he has
spoken to others without any
previous attention, he /peaks
to himfelf, having his mind
taken up with the reflections
which he should have nlade.—
In the mean time he leaves be
hind him an ill opinion of him,
which will last a long time ;
for though words pars away
very faft, yet they make such
impressions as cannot be easily
defaced, because most men be
ing extremely jealous of their
merit, are glad to find some
faults in thole, who might with
some pretense of reason contend
with them for it. I find it cer
tainly better for me to speak
much to myfelf, than to speak
much to others. If I speak
much to others, 1 (ball at most
give some marks of capacity,
though perhaps I have none ;
but if I speak to myfelf for my
inftruCion, I (ball acquire the
capacity which great talkers
are desirous co shew, and which
they seldom have ; for great
talkers are commonly men of
small parts.
