For liberty that sighs :
Aad never let thine heart be flint
Against the wretch’s cries.
For here forlorn and fad I fit.

And ’tremble at th* approaching morn.
Which brings impending fate.
If e’er thy breast with freedom glow’d*
And fpurn’d a tyrdatT chai®.
Let not thy strong oppreflive ford®
A freeborn moafe detain.
Oh ! do riot Gain with garltlefs’ blood
Thy hospitable hearth ;
Nur triumph chat thy wife* betray’d
A prize lb little Wrirtß.
The featur'd gleaning*, Os a faaft

But if thine unrelenting heart
That slender booh deny.
The cheerful light, the'vital alb
Are bieffings widely given;
Let nature’s Commoners enjoy
The common gifts of heaven.

ONE of the most endearing Tela*
lions of human life is that fabfifting
between parents and children. A

interests are in general fa intimately
blended, that the one can scarcely ex
perience a pleasure of which the other
will not in jome meajure partake J
the one can fiercely feel a farrow
which will not giue pain to the other.
The bappinefs of ibis endearing rela*
. tian- depends almofi wholly upon an
aftention to those reap*ccal rights
and duties which originate from the
ccnnetlion. Tender parents who
faithfully difibarge their duty, and
' obedient children who love and refpea

wet, lay opes before them, terminated
by a view of the Atlantic ocean. Bat
though the profpeA Was foch as might
delight the eyes Os a ttnntijftwr, and vied
in-beMaty with the protped of Naples ;
yet the profped had no charms lor Th a
dt ; his eyes were fafeihated by one ob
jed, and that objed was Onar.
It was an evening in antvtrm and Ok ah
wets a symbol of the fealon—lhs was all
r per.elf. Her hair, of a dark chefaur,
flowed in abundance, waving to the wind,
and (potting upon bet temples. Her eyes,
black As the fl ib, peeped from behind a
flude of long Uftes, and kept up a kind
of cooftant hedge firing upon the heart of
poor Th ad v. Her cheek had the delica
cy and complex-ion of the fiacb j and the
bursting flramOltrry was not more inviting
then the lips c/On ah—On a h’s bosom I
but here the comparison fails—The fatigue
of amending the hillcauledO nah to breathe
fho^, and thefa ftiort breathings difeovered
to TBADY, that thf golden trickles and
brown shade, which tinged her face and
neck,were the stains anumarks of the wanton
fun beam’s kities, arid not the parnt.of na
ture; for as the bo£>m of On ah repealed,
from the Amplehomdpun breast-work that
surrounded it^-a whiter than the lily
of the vaKey, and of a polish beyond the
feather of the (wan, displayed its enchant,
menu.

There are two ways, said On ah, to our
town f Jbe coach-ro»d, gad the path
t tQugh the wood. The ccpch-roadis the
f bat to be sere the path is i^Jkort
efit and you are with me, Thady.—
So Onah tock Edd cf Thady’s irm,
■ and they descended the hill toward thd
•wood.
Now Onah could have had no evil in**
tcniioA in preferring the path through the
w6dd-to the coach*road, for it was wind
ing, add full of thorns and, prickles, and
briers and brambles, like the path to the
temple of Virtue.—But Onah Ihould have
remembered the’ od proverb, which fay,
the fl) or re ft tor ay fiorite is the krogeft
way about.’* But, in truth, home vitas
not in (he mind-as Onah— Thady had
fuH policffion Q.r her thoughts.
When Onah came to the verge of the
wood, the made a lull flop.
I don’t like ro go through the wood,
Thady, fa ; d Onah ; for if a body was 1
aVacae'd in it, they thight Cry out murdtd
for an hour, 'without being heard at a>t.
It is very true, fa»d Thady—and r^ey
.enceed the wood, . .
The onds lung around them, and a
gentle breeze produced a gentle ourmcr,
oy gently agitating the leavesof the trees—
all was gen lenefi. j
Stntimmt was dancing round the heart
of Onah, ^nd she; .blood was prancirg
. t ’rough the v^ms.cf Th ady.-t-Now wheu
Jmiiinint dances, and the blood prices,
. apa opportunity lies upon the lurch, pru
deuce generally falls alleep.
What would become of me now*
Thady, it the d~—-~l was to put it into

ThadY was a m^n of Jintitnent, and

a model for a Htrtulet, and his face as ex

blacker hair, nor OnaH herfelf blacker
eyes, than the hair and eyeacfTHADY.
His beard had appeared upon his upper
