EXTRACTS
FROM A MISER'S PRAYER, IN THE NEW-YORK
MAGAZINE.
'' GIVE humility tu the poor and beggarly,
and rn^ke them contented under the allotments ot
thy providence ; that so they may not pefkr the ,
thrifty and faithful servants with their outcries
for charity.
66 Hear, we befeerh thee, O Lord, hear the
prayers of the widow, and the fatherie s, and the
halt, ano the blind, und the old, and the bed ridd
en, and relieve their many wants from thy own
Itores, and thy own bounty, that so thy may no
longer depend for bread upon the scanty gifts of
fclfifh mortals.
“ Save us, we hefeech thee, fron perishing bv
fire Take this great city especially oncer thy
divne proteaion ; and let a particular large
inarc of th, regard be bellowed upon the budd
ings in third street. Sundry of them, thou know
eft, belong to thy servant, and but one among
them all it brick.
“ Have an eye of especial regard to Richard
Harris, who is now firk almost unto death. Rife
him up once more to be an help and a Hay to his
wife and children, and give him wherewithal to
pay thy fervaut what he oweth him.
" Be not wroth with the good people of Nrw-
Jersey, and especially v. ith the county of Morris,
feeing thy Cervantite a mortgage on certain lands
in that county.
“If rhe iniquities of fallen men claim their
punishment at thy juli bands, and thy anger wax
eth hot against my finful neighbour, Francis
Settlefides, do not finite him in his person, his
wife, or his children, but blow with thy wind
and cause a ship of his, that he lately sent to Port
Republican with precious commodities, to fink in
the midst of the sea ; That so it may never arrive,
nor the market be overstocked. But hearken to
thy servant's prayer, and let the fame wind only
hafteri the passage of the good ship Flying Fith,
woereofis matter for the present voyage, Caleb
Strong which laid ship beloogeta to thy servant,
in partnership with Mr. Michael Holliday, of Bos
ton. Amen,"
THRO' aU the scenes of nature's varying pain,
Celettial Freedom warms the bread of man ;
Led by her darling hand, what powar cax bind
The boundless efforts ot the lab'ring mind !
The godlike-fervor, thrilling thro' the heart,
Gives new creation to each viral part ;
Throbs rapture though each palpiating ve ; ^,
Wings the rapt thought, and warms the fertile
brain ;
To her the noblest attributes of Heav'n,
Ambition, valour, eloquence are giv'n ;
She binds the soldier's brow with wreaths
sublime,
From her, expanding reason learns to climb ;
To her the founds of iftelody belong
She wakes the raptures of the poet's long ;
'Tis godlike Freedom bids each passion live,
That Truth may boast, or Patriot Virture
give:
From her, the arts enlightened splendors own,
She guides the peasant, she adorns the throne ;
To mild philanthrophy extends her hand,
Gives Truth pre-eminence, and Worth com
mand ;
Her eys directs the path that leads to Fame,
Lights Valcour's lamps, and trims the glorious
flame ;
She fca^ersjoy o'er Nature's endless Scope,
Gi"es Oreugth to Keafon, ecftacy to Hope ;
Tempers each pang Humanity can feel,
And ires prefumptnous Power with nerves of
fleel :
Strangles each Tyrant Phantom in its birth,
And knows no title but Superior Worth.
