Lo ! to induflry's axe,how the proud sorest bends,
And kind Ceres finiles on her growing domain ;
Fly quickly, and when each blithe day's labor ends,
Path around the full goblet to each jovial Twain.
See, the heav'n nurtur'd vine,
Fraught with liquor divine,
On yon funny hilloclcs inviting thy e,e 0 :
Thither haste and repair,
To make them thy care,
That gods may carouse on the banks of Ohio."
PYTHAGORAS held, and other grave sages,
Who liv'd or in learned or ignorant ages,
That the spirits of men when life from us passes,
Now crawl into sheep arid now- animate asses.
—All this may be true .•—Yet, oftener, I ween,
The spirits ^ asses take bodies of men ?
" No more (quoth the jolly god) fare I'm a sot;
And was drunk, beaffly drunk, for the lall age
or more,
So long t'have overlooked yonder heavenly foot,
On whom now all the joys of Olympus I'll pour."
Since 'twas fentenc'd above,
Thus by Bacchus and Jove,
My friends let us welcome the gods in full cry O ;
Our toast be it ftili,
May we long drink our fill,
la freedom and peace, on the banks of Ohio.

EPIGRAM.
AS our modern authors, on the English lan
guage, are in the habitat dividing and pronounc- i
ing words as they are spelled, we fee no reafot<
why they should not Jpell them as they arejpoken.
Byway of specimen, the following flrikchures
on literachure and a virchuous edjucation, art
given.i
Forchunately for creachures of different y/rucT ,
chures, nachure seems to have enjued them with
a difpolition to form virchurs habits ; and has not
left them de/lichute of nachural and iutellekchual
faculties for projucing the means of their own
present, jf not tneir fuchure bappinefs. But it is
not a very arjuous undertaking to preface evi
dence that man is the only creachure whose nachure
is qualified to receive impressions from a virchuous
and jci ipchural education. Virchue, in time, be
comes habichual, and will greatly ctnjnce to fiip
ply all the muchual wants of neceffichot^ indiviju.
als : on the contrary, we may venchure to aliert,
that a man, whose temperachure is nachurally or
habichually vicious, will akchually carry the marks
of an impofchure in every trait And feachure of
bis charakchure. His Jichuation is such, that he
js often premachurely rejuced to become averse to
the laudable habits ut promptichude and punkchu
ality. Deaf to the influence of moral lek
chures and fuchurity, he thinks that all com
parifuns between zi'chuoui and vicious charak
churi are premachure and invijious. Unforchu
nately for such creachures, they are formed on such
a flrukchure,Ahat they nachurally become enrap
chared with vice, from the habit of viewing it
through the mejium-ot their crejulity. Thus
blinded by a kind of menchual flupijity, and hur
ried on by the promptichude and arjour of youth,
they become ijiots at a premachure age.
Should any one venchure to offer flrikchurei on
the nachure of my literachure, 1 can immejiately
preface a number of virchuous charakchares, to
prove that I had the good forchune to be ejucated
by a learned and famous Comejiau.
"Why thou purblind old boozer, (quoth Jove in
a rage)
Leave those quarrelsome fools under Mars's di
rection ;
Shall Europe alone thy favor engage
Whilea world to the weft, lo! invites thy pro-
Then no longer complain, ' [teflion ?
But with joy in thy train,
Lead on health, peace and liberty, heavenly trio !
No danger appals,
Hospitality calls,
And pitch thy blith camp on the banks of Ohio.
First old Bacchus as spokesman, arose and com
plain'd,
But so hoarse and so dry he spoke thicker and
thicker,
That his vineyards ran wild, and his casks were
all drain'd,
And that mankind lov'd fighting much better
than liquor.
“ By this goblet of gold,
Which (quoth he) I now hold,
I swear, unless Mars will his frolic forego,
Neither I, nor old Momus,
Nor Venus, nor Cotnus,
Will fee foot again on the realms below."

The gods ot good fellowship, friendship & mirth
Before Jove's Starry throne made obeisance pro'-

And complain'd one and all they were banifh'd

For the proud bully Mars,
That fomenter of wars,
Had fill'd the whole world with ids horrid alarms;
From tile old British isle.
To the banks of the Nile,
He had tir'd all mankind with the phrenzy of arms.
