# The Fisherman. f @^
ALONG the smooth an^ghffy stream, ' 1 .
Tire little boat glided flow ;,!t
And while, beneath the : rosy beam -;
Os teabig Sun, the waters glow, r!
The Fifheymrin is Bugle gay,
"Sweet is the hours of setting day !"
The, net, ex pan Jed wide, displays
The^nare of direful fate ;_ • , ,
And where the nnny victims frays.
The (halts of death, unseen await ) ''
And Bill the Fifties man is gay,
- Singing the close of Summer's day !
The zephyrs on the willow bed
' Tn ttrfy whifp'ers fly ;
And o'er the lowly, peaceful died,
The lonely screech-owl's hov'rirg cry;
And flill the" Fifhermart can fay,
“ How cheerful is die close of day !"
The riling Moon, with qttiv'ring light,
Along the river throws
AToft b^m, from the brow of night,%
And dill a mimic day be flows ;
While, on the smooth and liquid way,
The silent fyhermax is gay ! ' #
The rosy dawn above the hill
Scatters the fev'ring cloud,
And myriads, flitting o'er the rill
The daified margin faintly Ihrond—
And from his hot, to greet the day;+
• The Fisherman come blithe and gay !
Happy is he, who never knew
The pomp and pride of date ;
Who, rtfanger to the fofdi'd crew,
Lives, unmolested by thegreat ;
Who labors thro' his little day--
• And, pleas'd'with labor —still is GAY I
Fop what but Fishermen are thofe'
Who spread the golden snare ? ,
Wh6 watch the scene of fli|l repose,
To mingle pain and ruin there ?
Who vaunt their gaudy funny' day,
While others pine, in'grief, AwAY!
What isOppreffion, but the net;
Which holds the helpleA thong ?
What promis'd favor, but'the bait,
Scattered the servile race among ?
And who shall bid the wretch be gay;
When Skimming thto' th^-glitfring way ?
Poor Inkerman, WofTd man, like thee.
Contented pals his hour ;
Would'thofe of loftier destiny
Forbear to use the sod of puw'r—/
,How many, thro' life's busy day,
Would fmg like thee—belaid and gay 7

ON' IMPUDENCE
THIS vice is too well known to need a defini
tion. No profeffiou of life but it appears in,and
is become even necessary to recommend virtue ;
its oppolite, mbdefly, being almolt turned out of
the world/
A reverend and submissive behaviour becomes
him who fpe-ks publicly in a court of Justice. Yet
hoy contrary is the demeanor of our most admir
ed orators; "among them an uncouth, boisterous,
and immetliodical flow of Avoids passes for elo
quence, often diverfified with low wit and lan
guage at* the bear garden. Cicero never pro
nounced an oration Jnit lie began trembling. A
wongrt turn the brief is given one hour, and, the
harangue made the next. Mothers are pleased
With the pertness of their daughters, and forward
nefs to vice passes with the father for a mark of
great genius.
The practice of the aficidflts was widely differ
ent. modesty with them was the ftrongefl guard
of virtue. Cato feeing a ybnng man blulb, said
“ Be nofdifpleafedwitli that ilufhlngin thy cheeks
yny lad, it is the colour of virtue." e " e
„itimpudence is drfagreeable in men, it is more,
so in women, to whose sex modesty teems effeltrah
The diveriions and liberties allowed among! us)
are, but just within the bounds of decency and
innocence.' „. . .", :?/.
Parity of heart, is of ap Others the most excel
lent; as well as she rf#ft, elevated virtue'; and
therefore a poor Greek ^rihaitkri being alked what
; fcr:une she would bring her bnfbandFanfwere<l
truly and bravely, "I will bring him what is
more valuable than any freafure, aheart upfpotted I
and that portion of virtue witpotte fla'fri which I
w^s alfthat descended to me from.my parents."
