No one Ihall run on the Sabbath
day, or walk in his garden or elsewhere,
except reverently to and from meeting.
Fate gives us line, we fhift the scene,
And jocund traverse to and fro,
Fain, sickness, frill will intervene,
We feel the hook wherce'er we go.
If, proudly, we our schemes extend,
And look beyond the present hour.
We find our ftraiten'd projects end,
And own an overruling pow'r.
A while we sport, n while lament,
Fate checks the line, and we are gone,
Dragg'd from our wanton element
To distant climes, untry'd, unknown.

1 0 vift the abodes of wretebednejs, to
enter into the feelings of the unfortunate, to
(empathize with their sorrows, and to relieve
their difrffis, are addons truly elevating and
ennobling. Benevolence, the source of theft
actions, is that godlike affeflion, which exalts
its proprietors above the rest of mankind, both
in dignity and bappinefs.
That this is a virtue exceeding benfcial.
and even neefury tojociety, cannot pffihly
he doubted, so long as misfortunes are tnfep
arable inhabitants upon humanity, and the
benign influences of benevolence our chief fop
port und.r them. Consequently, it is a duty
every man owes to fodety, which pretext
and defends his life and property, to improve
every opportunity of alle dating the difreffa of
the unfortunate.
If honor be the objeß we have in view the
the fareft way of gaining it, is, to exercise
our benevolent affiaiogs.—Here, not " felf
love," but a nosler motive, i)" the faring
of aaion." —Hereby we imitate the a&ion of
the Deity ; for in benevolence befell preserves
them. The honor due to aft-ions of benevo
lence is more deferable, as it is inaccessible to
the malignant Jbafts of envy. Exalted ca
pacity, undaunted courage, projperous success ;
these only expose a hero or a politician to the
envy and good will of the public ; but as soon
as the praifet are added of humane and benefi.
cent ; when infantes are displayed of lenity,
tenderness, orfriendfip, envy isflent,or joins
the general voice of applauf, and acclama
tion.

An angler toohrhis patient stand ;
He ey'd the stream with wilhful look,
And wav'd his rod with cautious hand.
JBESIDE a gentle murm'ring brook,
The bait with nicest art was dreft,
The fifties left their fafe retreat,
And one, more eager than the rest,
Look'd, long'd, and (wallow'd the de
ceit.
Too late Ilie felt the poinard smart,
Her pitying friends her fate deplore,
The angler with well pradis'd art,
Play'd, hook'd & drew him to the shore.
Lur'd by the beaut, of the day,
The fun ^- finking in the &y,
A sage purfu'd his walk that way.
And law the bleeding victim die.
Far in the vale of years declin'd,
He watch'd the course of nature's law,
And thus, with philofophick mind.
He moraliz'd on what he saw.
Indulge a while the pensive vein,
And fix this image in your mind ;
You've hook'd a fiih, observe its pain,
And view the fate of human kind.
