From the Pleasures OF Hope.
Parting of Conrad from bis daughter Ellenor,
UNFADING hope ! when life's last embers burn,
When foul to foul, and dust to dust return!
Heav'n to thy charge resigns the awful hour !
O ! then, thy kingdom comes ! Immortal Power .
What though each spark of earth-born rapture fly
The quivering lip, pale cheek, and closing eye !
Bright to the foul thy seraph hands convey
The morning dream of life's eternal day-
Then, then, the triumph and the race begin .
And all the Phoenix spirit burns within !
Cease, every joy to glimmer on my mind,
But leave—o ! leave—the light of hope behind !
What though my winged hours of bliss have been,
Like angel visits, few and far between ;
Her music mood shall every pang appease,
And charm—when pleasures lose the power to
please !
When, 'reft of all, yon widow'd fire appears
A lonel y hermit in the vale of years ;
Say, can the world one joyous thought bestow
To friendfllip, weeping at the couch of woe !
No ! but a brighter soothes the lad adieu—
Souls of impaffion'd mould, she speaks to you !
Weep not, the fays, at nature's transient pain,
Congenial spirits part to meet again !—
What plaintive fobs thy filial bosom drew,
What sorrow chok'd thy long and lad adieu !
Daughter of Conrad ! when die heard his knell,
And bade his country and his child farewell
Doom'd the lone isles of Sydney Cove to fee.
The martyr of his crimes, but true to thee.
Thrice the fad father tore mb from his heart,
And thrice return'd to bless thee and to part ;
Thrice from his trembling lips he murmur'd low
The plaint that own'd unutterable woe ;,_
Till faith, prevailing o'er his sullen doom,
As bursts-the morn on night's unfathom'd gloom,
Ldr'd his dim eye to deathless hope's sublime,
Beyond the realms of Nature and of Time !
“And weep not thus," he cry'd, young Ellenor,
My bosom bleeds, but soon shall bleed no more!
Short shall this half extinguish'd spirit burn,
And soon tbefe limbs to kindred dull return!
But not, my child ! With life's precarious fire,
The immortal ties of nature shall expire ;
Tbefe shall refill the triumph of decay,
When time is o'er, and worlds have past away ;
Cold in the dust this perifh'd heart may lie,
But that which warm'd it once shall never die !
That spark unbury'd in its mortal frame,
With living light, eternal, and the fame,
Shall beam on joy's interminable years,
Unveil'd by darknefs—unaffuag'd by tears !
“ Yet, on the barren shore and flormy deep,
One tedious watch is Conrad doom'd to weep ;
But when I gain the home without a friend, .
And press th' uneasy couch where none attend,
This last embrace, hill cherifh'd in my heart, r
Shall calm the Struggling spirit ere it part !
Thy darling form shall seem to hover nigh,
And hush the groan of life's lalt agony!
« Farewel; when Strangers lift thy father's bier,
And place thy nameless (tone without a tear ;
When each returning pledge hath told my child
That Conrad's tomb is on the defart pil'd ;
And when the dream of troubled fancy fees
Its lonely rank grass waving in the breeze;
Who then will soothe thy grief when mine is o'er ?
Who will protest the heiplefs Ellenor ?
Shall secret scenes thy filial forfows hide,
'Seem'd by the world, to factious guilt allied !
Ah ! no ! methinks the generous and the good
Will woo thee from the Shades of Solitude !
O'er friendlefs grief companion shall awake,
And smile on Innocence, for Mercy's fake !"

REPUTATION.
Reputation is a great inheritance, it begetteth
opinion, (which ruleth the world) opinion riches,
riches honor : It is a perfume that a man carrieth
about him, and leaveth wherever he goes; and it
is the belt heir of a mart's virtue. ~ ,
The shortest way to obtain Reputation is that of
merit : if industry be founded on merit, it is the
true way of obtaining it.
The gaining of Reputation is but the revealing
-of bur virtue and worth to belt advantage.
Great merit and high fame, are like a high
wind and a large fail, which do often fink the
vessel.
It is more difficult to repair a creditAhat is
^once fliaken, than to keep that in a flourishing
greenness which was never blasted.
Reputation is like fire when you have kindled
it, you niay easily preserve it ; but if ouce you
extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again,
at lead not make it burn so bright as before.
Virtue, my friend, is not an empty name:
Its feed divine grows in our ipmoft hearts :
From God's own pow'r proceeds that lightning
, Whidh fires high hills, and through the wel
kindarts.

“ What have you got to fay, old Bacon Face ?"
