The FROSTY MORN.
THE freezing gale that nipt the tree,
Now finis to fofteft harmony ;
to just expiring voice I hear.
That ftl ikes so mournful on the ear.
The glorious morning fun appears,
And o'er the whiten'd valley steers ;
He bred's the frofty chains of night.
And gilds the world with heavenly light
Thus live the Righteous here below.
And tread the paths of frofty woe ;
U til the blessed Son above.
Lights them to worlds of endless love.

The happiness of Aurora, said
I to myfelf, will be but momen
tary ; love will foften its bitter
ness, and the ardor of the blind
vengeance of her enemies ; in
spite of them she ought to be,
and shall be happy:—in short,
they will leave me money, and,
1 shall procure more by my in
dustry ; I should be a wretch if
I did not devote my life to spread
ing flowers in her paths. When
(he shall know what I am, with
out doubt her rekntment will be
terrible ; but the evil being irre
parable, reason will repole on
her the law of resignation, love
shall be placed for riches and we
will be happy.
Such were the sensations which
occupied my mind during the
days which preceded my mar
-Iriage. At the moment when Au.
rora pronounced the promise to
live and die with me, an uni
versal shuddering took pofleffion
of my whole body ; 1 should
have fallen on the pavement had
not a deluge of tears given relief
to my oppressed heart. The
crowd which surrounded us, took
.- this effort of expiring virtue for
an excels ot sensibility. Aurora
herlelf was deceived : I felt, by
her tender carreffis, that this
haughty perlon was as anxious
to 'appear ' the lover as the wife.
The engravers, to recompense
the address with which I had ex
ecuted their projeds, permitted
me to prolong the error for some
days ; during this delay I gave
myfelf up to an excess of passion,
- and banished from my mind the
approaching and fatal period of
the frightful catastrophe. In
short, after several conferences,
with these implacable enemies of
Aurora, it was decided that
things should be prepared for
my return to my cottage.
When I proposed this journey
to my wife, from which I had
reason to apprehend the most se
rious consequences, I could not
forbear a sigh from the bottom
of my heart, which, from her
confidence in me,fhe did not un
derstand. Her lively imagination
presented the idea of going with
me in a magnificent carriage, at
tended with a train of women,
livery servants, and all the reti
nue of grandeur, thus contriving
at once to gratify her pride and
6 1 r
shew her regard for me; both
faults excusable only from her
youth and inexperience. She
was in raptures to fee the prepa
rations for our departure, which
the nearer it approached, became
the more tormenting to me. How
often did limplore the pity of
my friends I The only answer
they gave me was my sacred ob
ligation of my engagements to
them. I had no alternative but
to obey.
Two of my patrons and em
ployers were to attend us as pof
tillions, while the one who had
wished to marry Aurora had the
impudence to put himfelf in the
plate of coachman. A tye wig
of an ingenious cut and a patch,
over his right eye effectually se
cured him from all suspicion, so
as not to be know even by his
nearest friends. Three of them,
in a jovial humor, got up behind
the carriage as footmen ; and;
the four remaining ones, beingl
obliged to flay at Lyons, to at
tend their business, consoled
themselves for not being of thel
I party, by engaging their com-I
| panions to write them from eve- j
ry place they should Stop at, such ,
occurrences as are common on a'
stage journey. The waggish fel-I
Ilows could scarcely help expref-I
1 sing their joy aloud when they ;
heard my wife Speaking to them'
in a severe tone of voice, and'
presently after addressing me with
the mildest complacency asked
me what name I called my plan-!
tation by, the extent of my pof-|
sessions in Dauphiny, the privi-I
ledges of my hunting grounds,!
fifheries, and so on § and dwel
ling, in particular, with a fond
attention on my Supposed mines,
which her fancy pictured to her
at least equal to thole of Peruor
Mexico. Such objects of dis
course brought us rather beyond
Montelemart, when I preceived
the narrow path-way which led
to a village, the Steeple of which
was still farther from our road.
Alas I this poor village was the
place of my abode.
The critical minute advanced.
The territory about me was far
from being mine. In short, af
ter three hours travelling on a
bad road, our driver, who too
well knew the place, flopped the
coach before a wretched hov
el.
An aged perlon, in a dress of
rags and poverty fat by himfelf
at the door. I went up to him,
and the poor old man was no
other than my refpedable father.
How can I find colors to paint
this strange feene of affairs I im
agine to yourielf on one fide the
trembling Perourou, on the oth
er the haughty Aurora, and fix
malicious young fellows ceremo
niously leating- her on an old
broken chair, with the most in
solent bursts of laughter, sneers
and jests, to gratify their ven
geance, and complete the humil
iation of my wife. Only imag
ine to yohrfelf, reader, the pre
tended coachman taking off his
tye wig and eye patch, and then
reproaching Aurora in a most
infolting ftilc of Superiority.
No, no, said he,difdainfully, you ]
was not born or educated to bel
the wife of an engraver ; such a|
match would have done too much
honor to your birth, fortune'
and expedations. It was fit
that a poor bellows mender should
win your affections only ; and *
now look at the fellow whom?
your lofty and noble Spirit has'
pitched upon for husband. I
was going to reply, but the pre
tended coachman was already on
his Seat, the others hustled into
the coach, and Smothering, a
loud laugh, were presently out
of fight.

HOGARTH'S Last Painting.
—M
A few months before this in
genious artist war seized with
the malady which deprived soci
ety of one of its most diftin
-Iguifhed ornaments, he proposed
for the fubje& of his matchiefs
pencil the work he has entitled
A Tail Piece ; the firft idea of
:which is said to have been Start
ed in company, while the convi
-Ivial glass was circulating round
; his own table.—" My next un
tdertaking" said Hogarth, " shall
Ibe the end of all things." "If
Ithat be the case," replied one of
Ihis friends, “your buJinejs will
'be finijhed, for there will be an
] end of the painter" " There
will so !" answered Hogath, figh
;ing heavily ; and therefore the
;fooner my work is done the bet-
Iter." Accordingly he began the
I next day, and continued his de
sign with a diligence that seemed
to indicate an apprehension that
he should not live till he had
completed it. This however he
did in the most ingenius manner,
by grouping every thing which
could denote the end of all
things.—A broken bottle, an old
broom worn to the ftump,—the
butt end of an old musket, a
cracked bell, a bow unstrung, a
crown tumbling in pieces, towers
in ruins, the signpost of a tavern
called the World's End falling,
the moon in her wane, the map
of the globe burning, a gibbet
falling, the body gone, and the
chains which held it dropping
down, Phoebus and horses dead
in the clouds, a vessel wrecked,
Time with his hour glass and
a tobacco pipe in his mouth, the
lah whiff of fmoak going out, a
play book open with Exeunt Om
nes ftampt in the corner, an
empty purse, and a statute of
bankruptcy taken out against
Nature. “ So far, so good," cri
ed Hogarth ; " nothing remains
but this," taking his pencil in a
Sort of prophetic fury, and dash
ing off the Similitude of a pain
ter's pallet broken. " Finis !" ex
claimed Hogarth : " the deed is
done! all is over !" If is remark
able, and little known, perhaps,
that he died in about a month
after finishing this Tail Piece,
having never again taken the pal
let in his hand.
Tis the fate of all men, once to die !
and after math comes the Judgment !
