The full moon tiling o'er the; dew tapt hill,
Pours herbroad radiance ,n th^ river's brcaft
And puffing gales,, on odour dropping wings.
Breathe foft thro' vales by fairy geps impreft :!
The whip.'owiil, chaunts iri the ear of night,
Lone minftrcl of the glpomy, silent wild ;1
While echo an(wers from her epol retreat, ,
Charm'd with the deep fwoin tones to be beguil'd.
Oh how the weary, heavy heart ofgrief,l
/ Greets the enchantment of thi< tranquil hour ;
Abftraaed from the world's bewildering cares,
u yield's itfelf to calm refl,dton^ power. , ,I

High soaring, on exulting plume fublime;l
* And memory, pores o'er of other years,l
Their hues all mellow'd by the hand of time. ;

Remarks on Tetfrrance.'
TEMPERANCE isno less conducive of health
to,foe wipd than to the body,;.it, is as Decertify
for one as §he other, and of great conc^nAo both ;
jritfebiilent temper, § furious ungovern atlfypgfr
fan, is a dieare of the mind as troublesome as the
gout to the body, and as difficult of cure perhaps,
though the malady may be better understood ;
however,.it is fore -to a& as a continual-ferment, :
it gives an unpleasant appearance to every at? iqn, I
and-to others an-unhappy, though deferred advan
tage over him.
Tpe temperate tqa n ri s indeed a,mp%n\i^ble
character, and one who maintains-akind of supe
riority over all others ; cqol anp collected, he has
at,ll,imes the^command ofihimfetf ; by care^nd
due restraint, his body ppngtyly observes, pnd
easily performs,,the law of its nacure ; his mind
fees dearly its several duties, and has the power
to execute them and avail itfelf of every advan
tage ; he knows none of,thofe & rempnfirating pains,
none of the bitter reflections' WltiQ excels leave
behind ; no reproach can touch his behavior, nor
Severity apply to tyis conduQ, but tie holds hiuifelf,
if tot ffeetfrom foible mid frailty, yet above in
• discretion and every vis,. Knowledge is his fa
vorite pursuit, and virtue the Employment of his
time ; if at any time his body is indisposed, the
canfe of it arose not through want of due care ;
if his mind is disturbed it is more Qimperfeflion
or another's folly thaj hisawn; and ifte foparm
it is not no injure, but the warmth in the Welfare
of mapkind. * Y n '
Singular mg of reforming afrofigatefervant.
During the y^ r V7^B, there appeared in one of
the Irish journals, an advertifementfrom ^rvant,
• who wanted avatet's mc\ ng that he was
wi/hou^gcjtar&e&an&a'mafyj^lts,^^hop
ed to mend. A confeOionfo frank, and indeed so
uncommon in that cl,afs of people, caught the ,eye
of a gentleman in the environs of Dublin, well
known for h|s eccentric h3ior. arid generous hos
. pitarlity.
He sent far tie ,ari. ,nd tyhis entering the
room, thus addmeflfed him : 'sVougracelefs dog,
that seem bent on starving; ptay where and with
whom did you Li^jlag ?%# With <fyifcf —_, of
Stephen's green," 'replied the vifet, ''arid an jll
natured unreasonable man he was, #n't please yotir
• honor, though it is true Igave him fore /mail
c<ufe „wopld you believe it,fir, for no other tea?
son in the world, than because I^ept genteel hours,
killed the wenches, audio,ved whilky, @i)d b,ec@ufe
he drifted a pair of silver-mounted pistols, and 4-
nqther thing or two, he sent me packing and flop
ped my wages.'?
You are the lad for my money, fai, the man,
''you have owned your faults; wticrt4 never leas
able before to prevail on a fervent fadii ; I now
know four failing : but remember, that if I ever
catch You at any ofyour Ijgh,t fingered trickyau
fhalf certainly die in your flupes, f,e wfobm# to,

The gmfflf6 rogue .enured puhis place the fit
day, and faithfully feryed for the rest ofnis fas
new matter, who left him at his decease, an hand
some annuity. He embarked in trade,was fuccefs

mour accompanied with great formality of man

but wopid not comply with thepreffing folicitafeq;
of the company. At |aft lord Kelly laid, he pm#
either fyfl fong,'te|l a ftOTy' or drink a pint

ther chose to tell a dory than io pay the forfeit.
"One day," said he, fa his pompous manner, "a
gentleman, by profelfion a thief in the course of
bis round, saw a church door invitingly open ; he
walkedto, blinking that even there be might find
fomthing useful ; having secured the pulpit cloth,
he was retreating, when 10, he found the door
shut. He took the oily means left for his efe@pe;
he let Jiimfelf do wn by the bell rope ; —the bell of

caught. As they were dragging him away, he
* looked up, emphatically pddreffihg the bell, „I
