, THE NEGRO BOY;
OR, SUPERSTITION SUBDUED.

NEAR Portsmouth, the ,4 Battle of Minden" the sign,
An Inn long renown'd for good cheer and old wine,
A handsome young hostess, and excellent lodging;
An Officer Lately came over from France,
No longer in idle attendance to dance,
His occupants Monsieur most gladly disgorging.
This Officer, then, every comfort ensuring,
At " Battle of Minden " a lodging procuring,

And items of Use and of Ornament lacking ;
In dress predetermin'ti to shine all resplendent,
Directed, o'er all, that his table attendant
A quantum should purchase of W ABASH'S .74
The mild ins* of Aide the mandate ahoy's!,
When lo! in the Beats, by the lunsinous shade
Of the Jet, like a Mirror, his dark features glaring ;
Be gas'd in amaze, long with eitacy mute,
Then 'angled, as !angled with him the Child in the Boot,
And eagerly thence to his Massa repairing ;
' 0 come, Massa Captain," he said, " come and see
Dim live in de Boot—blacky childa as me—
Much like as my poor leteel broder him seem,
liim the—him come back—die no more," and his eyes
Were glisten'd by Joy, when aghast with surprise,
Two " Childa" he viewed in the Bouts' jetty gleam.
Ilia Massa the cause of the vision explain'd ;
And now in the youth was delusion restrain'd,
Ills mind Sup::rstitiort no longer attacking ;
Enhancl thence, in fame, is the fine glossy hue
A hat dress can improve, nd dark Error subdue,
Of WAinan's resplendent, inimitod Dlockin;; !
