From the WINTER NIGHT.
'BY ROBERT BURNS,
BLOW, blow, ye winds, with heavier gull !
And freeze, thou bitter-biting fruit !
Descend, ye chilly, fmoihermg fno^s !
Not all your rage, as now united, sh ^rs
More hard onkindnefs, Unrelenting,
Vengeful malice unrepenting,
Than tieav'n Hum n'd man on brother man bestows!
See Itern oppression's non grip
Or mad ambition's gory hand,
Sending, like bloodhounds fran the flip,
Wde, want, and murder, o'er a land !
E'en in the peaceful rural vale,
Truth, weeping, tells the mournful tale,
How pamper'd luxury, flatt'ry by her fide,
The paralite empoifoning her ear,
With all the fertile wretches in the rear.
Looks o'er proud property, extended wide ;
And eyes the simple ruflic hind,
Whole toil upholds the glitt'ring show,
A creature of another kind,
Some coarser fubUauce unrefin'd,
Plac'd for her lordly use thus far, thus vile below.
Where, where is lore's fond, tender throe,
With lordly honor's lofty brow,
The po&'rs you proudly own?
Is there, beneath love's noble name,
Can harbor, dark, the felfifh aim,
To biffs himfelt alone !
M<rk maiden-innocence a prey
To love-pretending snares,
This hoafted honor turns away,
Shunning foft pity's riling sway,
Regardless of the tears, and unavailing pray'rs !
Perhaps, this hour, in mis'ty's fquaiici nclt;
She drains your infant to her joyless bread,
And with a mother's tears fhriuks at the rocking
blast !
Oh ye ! who funk in beds of down,
Feel not a want but what yonrfelves create,
Think, for a moment, on his w. tched fate,
Whom friends and fortune q.;ite disown!
Hl.fdtisfy'o keen nature's Uam'eous call,
- Stretch'd on h 3 flraw n° !a,s bimfell to deep,
While thr >' the ragged root and chinky wall,
Chill, e'er his floorers, piles the drifty heap !
Think on th- dungeon's grim tontine
Where guilt and poor misfortune pine !
Guilt, erring man, relenting view !
But shall ihv legal rage porfoe.
The wret<h already crushed low.
By cruel fortune's undeserved blow ?
Affliction's sons are brothers in ddtitS,
A brother to relieve, how exqni te the bliss !

Federal Predictions of the
DESTRUCTION of ALL RELIGION,
Rapidly Fulfilling ! ! !
On Wednesday, week before lad, a new-and
elegant Brick Church was consecrated to the pur
pose of Divine Worship by the society of Congre
gational Chriitians in tne town of Maiden. Their
Pallor, the Rev. Aaron Green, delivered a Dis
cdurfe on the occ lion, from 11 Citron, ii. 4.
Behold I build an Houje to the name of the Lord my
God, to dedicate it to him. ft is laid that the ut
molt regularity and concord have attended the
founding, progress and completion of the edifice,
which is ornamented with a Bell, presented by
Timothy Dexter, Etq. of Newburyport, and inter
nally with one of Willard's beautiful patent clocks,
the gift of John Harris, E(q. of Charleftown.—
The Ladies of Malden furnifhed the hangings and
ornaments of the window and pulpit, and pre
sented their Minister with a gown and caffoc.
—o—
— Rev. Asa Messer, President of the College
in Providence, was on the 12th ult. ordained in the
office of a Gospel Minister. There were prelent
co this solemn occasion, the Rev. William Williams,
of Wrentham ; the R^vThomas Balihuinot Borton ;
the Rev. Mr. Reed, of Attleboro' ; the Rev. John
Pitman, and the Rev. Stephen Gano, of that town.
The several exercises app opriate to the occasion,
were performed with dignity and gravity—the
feene was truly impreffv —a crowded and respec
table assembly witnessed this tranfatbon. A Ser
mon delivered from Daniel xii. 3, " and they that
be wife, shall fltine as the brightnejs of the firma
ment, and they that turn many to right eoujnefs, as
the flars forever and ever," by Mr. Baldwin, dif
pla ed much piety, learning and eloquence. The
whole body of the clergy may jnftly count on an
additional weight to their influence and respecta
bility by this event. The Rev. President Mefer,
ip suavity of manners and affability, in indnftry
and ©economy, in exemplary piety, in classic
learning, and in that wisdom which dwells with
prudence, seems by Divine Providence reared up
for the elevated station he fills in the College
where there are the cleared perfages of iris future
and extensive nfebdnefs.
Gemple of Cornua,
Chief Joker, Ijaac Sparks.
Sparks was a well known Ron Vivant, and de
voted h ; s evenings to the purple deity. It was
remarked, that tvhen he got his quantum of the
juice of the grape, he entirely loft his power of
fyeech, though he retained the tife of hi hmb;.—
A Mr. Foote was his constant companion in his
nocturnal revels, who was as diminutive in future
as the other was tall and robust. One night, from
having been remarkably feftive, our Chief Joker
could not (peak ; and Foote not able to Band,
Sparks took him up and placed him a llraddL on
his neck and shoulders. In this manner .aty
quitted the taverp. During the r wa'k home,
they were,accused by a witchman, demanding
who they were ; Sparks pointed up to Foote, as
much as to hint that he would inform him ; who
on being asked, replied, “ that he was only feeing
the gentlem in home."
A ludicrous circumstance lately occurred at the
Theatre, at Market Drayton, Shropshire. The
company were performing Pizarro,when, during
the hy n)n to the Sun, the lights being placed too
close to the transparent scene of that luminary, it
unfortunately took fire. The manager, who was
officiating as High Pried, just after singing the
words " O Power Supreme !" observed the mis
hap: and in the utmost consternation, called out
to the Stage keeper, “ the Son's on fire !”—then
Erocecd with the hymn—“ O, Power Supreme !
)—nyour eyes, put out the Sun, 1 fay !" — The
Sun, however continued to blaze, and the Mana
ger to ting end Swear ; till the audience, notwith
ftanling their fears, were convulsed with laughter.
The fire in the Sun being extinguished, the play
proceeded. (Lond. pap.)
