THE CHAPTER OF HEROES.
The Gods in fun Couscil were l,ttly debatirg
On the Vr arllke. achievements of mortal. below,
Each the feats of hilifav'rite her.Ue was stating, '
And fame in full measure on each tua bestow.
From the first great events that by Tithe are recorded,
To the present Corhmotion that deluges Spain,
Each recited Exploits that by all were applauded.
And wonder'd that mortals such 4eeds could sustain !
They related how Theseus, so famous in story,
How Perseus had gain'd so muck merit and praise,
Godlike Hector, they own'd, most deserving of glory,
Fierce Achilles had also a chins to their lays;
Wise Ulysses, bold Ajax, great Tracer united
To claim admiration and praises unfeign'd
In Marathon's heroes and Thebes they delighted,
Bat their warmest affections Leonidas gain'd.
Then Philip's great son was held out for example,
His courage they prais'd, but his cruelty blarn'd;
Brave livinibal's deeds they acknowleded were ample,
And Scipio's conduct deserted to be fam'd.
On Pompey's great name they descanted with pleasure,
From Caesar they could not Withhold their applause,
They blam'd his ambition, but mourn'd for the measure
Pursu'd by brave Brutus in Liberty's cause.
At length on our Isle, they with much exultation,
Look'd down our great actions and deeds to review,
They own'd they neer saw so exalted, a nation,
With heroes so Arm, persevering, and true!
Our Arthur and Alfred were bold and victorious,
Our Cressy and Agincourt heroes the same;
Great Marlboro's name, noble Wolfe's, ever glorious,
And Nelsen and Moore were the objects of fame!
They still Were with warmth in their task persevering,
When Jupiter moe'd his objections to state; ,
'Tie in vain, be exelaim'ci, amongst people so daring,
To.attempt all their names and exploits to rehse.
Let us search out a chief by true glory surrounded,
Whom Greece, Rome, or Britain ne'er equall'd in fame,
Then with voices divine, from all quarters resounded,
In lasting vibrations—great WeaasnoTors's name!

It appears by the Report of the National Vaccine
Establishment, printed ley order of the House of
Commons, that, where the insertion of the lymph has
produced the Vaccine disease, it affords not merely
a partial and temporary, but perfect and permanent
security against that loathsome, filthy, and dangerous
malady, the Small Pox; that the peculiar instances
in which small pox has occurred after vacciLation,
are much fewer than those of people who take small
pox a second time, being only i❑ the propciticn of
one to 381,666 ; that ita the rare instances that have
occurred of small pox after 'vaccination, not a single
instance can be produced of its proving fatal--
whereas; small pox in former times used to carry off
one person in ten that were attacked by it. The
Royal College in Surgeons, London, Edinburgh, and
Dublin, have engaged themselves to each other, and
to the Public, not to inoculate the small pox, and
their example is now very generally adopting by all
the regular and respectable Practitioners throughout
the Empire.
