STANZAS
ADDRESSED TO THE GHEEKS.
On, on ! to the just and glorious strife !
With your swords your Freedom shielding;
Nay, resign, if it musibeso, e'en life,
But`die, at least, unyielding.
On to the strife ! for 'twere far more meet,
To sink with the foes who bay you,
Than crouch, like dogs, at your Tyrants' feet,
And smile on the swords that shy you.

Shall the Pagan slaves be masters, then,
Of the land which your fathers gave you ?
Shall the Infidel lord It o'er Christian men;
When your own good swords may save' you ?
No ! let him feel that their arms are strong ;
That their courage will fail them—never;
Who strike to repay long years of wrong,
And bury past shame for ever.

Let him know there are hearts, however bow'd
By the chains which he threw around them,
That will rise like a spirit from pall and shroud,
And cry " woe" to the slaves who bound them,
Let him learn how weak is a Tyrant's might,
Thinst Liberty's sword contending ;
And find how the Sons of Greece can fight,
Their Freedom and Land defending.

Then on ! then on to the glorious strife !
With your swords your country shielding ;
And resign, if it: must be so, e'en life, •
But die, at least, unyielding.
Srike !—for the Sires who left you free !
Strike !—for their sakes who bore you!
Strike!,--for .your homes and liberty, •
• And the Ileav'n. you worship o'er you.

THE FARMER'S CENTENARY CONTRAST.

The Man to the Plough,
The Wife to the Cow,
The Girl to the Sow,
The Boy to the Mow,
And your Rents will be netted.

Best Man ! Tallyho !
And Miss Piano,
• The. 'Wife Silk and Sattin,
The Boy Greek and Latin,
And you'll all be Gazetted.

DANIEL DE FOE—Author of the delectable
romance of " Robinson Crusoe," was endowed with a teem-
ing brain, and famous in his generation both for his politics
and his poetry, but especially for the former. Bred a hosier,
he heartily despised and speedily quitted that calling, and
became one of the most enterprising authors that any age
has produced: Joining the anti-ministerialists of his time,
his language was as violent as his observations were keen,
and it was not long before he wrote himself into the pillory,
which he mounted unabashed. and undismayed ; and in the
spirit of. defiance, even wrote a piece which he calltd
A Hymn to the Pillory." He died at his house at Isling-
ton in 1731, having always enjoyed such a competency as
seldom failed of securing him from the usual necessities of
mercenary scribblers. The work by which he most dis-
tinguished as a poet, is his " True-born Englishman," a
satire, occasioned by a poem entitled " Foreigners," written
by John Tuchin, Esquire. De Foe's work had a prodigious
run ; besides passing through nine editions under his own
inspection, it was twelve times pirated. Alluding to the
various nations by which England was alternately subdued, he
thus ridicules the boast of sterling English blood :
" A true-born Englishman 's a contradiction ;
In speech, an irony ; in fact, a fiction ;
A metaphor, invented to express
A man akin to all the universe."
Tucit or—(Alluded to in the preceding paragraph), engaged
in the cause of Monmouth against James I L, and for a political
piece written in support of that cause, was sentenced to be whipped
through several towns in the west of England, and so severely,
that he petitioned the King to be hanged. Both these writers
are immortalized in the Dunciad

" Earless on high stood,unabash'd. De Fu %
And Tuchin. flagrant from the scourge below•."

Yntmotrru, Jui.v 22.—N0 where has the
transition from IVar to Peace'been more acutely
felt than in this place. - Deprived of the great
though !ransient .profits of the former, the inha..!'
bitants now begin to avail themselves of the
smaller and more equitable benefits of the latter.

And in this view of the subject we congratulate
them and the public in general on their recent
endeavours to render this most delightful Port
the resort of the wealthy and fashionable, during
the season of rustication, or the more salubrious
enjoyment of bathing; the consequent influx of cash
and circulation of money is self evident, and we are
happy to observe that persons of rank and fashion
will be accommodated with appropriate houses for
large establishments, so that they will not as
heretofore be obliged to leave us with disgust for j

want of premises. In unison with this spirit we
observe with pleasure the arrangements at the
Bath House, Theatre, &c. as also the sedulous
attention of the principal Inns for the reception
of visitors in general, and we trust they will all.

This morning, two of the public Porters were
stripped of their badges in the Police Office, and
declared unworthy of being employed as such in

the city of Glasgow, for refusing to assist a pri-
vate individual in securing a hoy who had stolen
some silver spoons, and permitting the crowd to
rescue him. When the Porters receive their
badges, they are particularly enjoined to assist
the Police in the discharge of their duty ; and
the Magistrates are determined to visit with ex-
emplary punishment such as refuse to lend their
assistance in similar cases.--(Glasgow Courier,
July 23.)
