Why, Strephon, when nature IS gay,
So penfive reclin'd on the ground
And why is thy crook thrown away,
While thy aocks are all wand'ring a
round (!
Thy forrow ere long will conhgn,
Thy form tothe cold, dreary tomb;
Forgive, if ] cannot divine,
Why thy features are cover'e with
gloom.
True, much may imbitter our days,
IF we do not 70 wildom attend,
But if we abide in her ways,
Our hearts will our actions commend ;
And then tho the world may appear,
AS willing to treat with dildain;
Unaw'd we may flnile thro' tear,
And pity their with to give pain.
Tho fortune regards wi,ha frown,
She cannot give iource TO thy woes;
Too futile by far, to caa down,
The hear. where humility grows;
And what is this world bat vale,
No wife man would with his abode?
Tho blown by profperity's gale,
We faint, and we die on the road.
How llly, 'twould be for to igh,
For baubles 70 ioon left behind
For tits not in wealth to fupply,
To give the mott elegant mind;
I've feen them in filver'd brocadc,
Who nought of the jewel poaeis'd,;
While others 10 poverty's fhade,
Has with it mott amply been blef.
And, I'd fooner be Henry the twain,
PoGeis'd of that trealure alone,
Than fport rich liy'ry and train,
To rule as King On a throne.
I would focner my S.cphon, be thee,
And watch with thy handful Of iheep,
Than proud and unfeeling to be,
On couch of loft velyer TO lleep.
Come banih, dear Strephon, this gloom,
Thon'la equal trul} to the part;
The checrfulnefs thou CAN'T afume,
O let il asife from The heart!

HAVING fhewn that in one leading
article of the Doctors charges again6
Paine, the party which he efpoufes, and
the perfon he applauds, are completely
implicated, we now beg leave to ak him
whether in another article to VIII, that of
indfelity, they Can be held OUTLETS And
whether all the infdels in the union, par
ticularly the difcip!es of the deittical
preacher at New York, and the editor
and readers of the Temple gf Rea/os, are
not all to man warm advocates, indeed
zealots, in the caule of anti-f:derslif.n
and the PRECEDENT No people know bet
ter than thofe do, who are friendly to
them and to their principles, OF what
meafures are mott favourable to their
views: A queRion then aries which all
mott anfwers it(elf: How does it happen,
that without Jingle exception, all the
acobins, reyolutionifs, dilorganizers and
inhdels, whether home bred or foreign, in
America, are all Grenuous abettors and
advocates of the party now in power
We would with this quefion 6Iit to be
de;erminately reiolved by every man in
the union, rs America chriitian conn-
try : If this be anfwersd in The sfirma-
tive, then we will fay, that il is the duty
Of her chief magiarate TO dilcountenance,
in every way that lies in his power, all
men who openly roefs, and till more
thoie who endeayour to propagate infdeli-
sy. If he does not, he is 70 far guilty OF
miiprihon Of that crime agsinR the religi-
on of the country.
Has our PRECEDENT done this ? Has
he not on the contrary been infrumental
to the bringing the author of The Ase
of Reafoa, that very man whom the Dc.
tor 70 juRly inyeighs sgaina for his ire
ligion, TO this country Indeed the
Doctor feems to be 70 perfectly aware Of
this, that he endeavouTs to give colour to
Mr.. I,herfon's letter to Paine, and to ex-
tract from it the fling which il carries a
gainf that gentleman bur more lame
or frivolous execute, or faller colour, can
lcarcely be imagined. II is faid to be
only permlhion to Paine to come. If
Mr.. Paine could come TO America with
out the PreGdent's permiion, his grant
ing that permiaion was uieleis, and meant
noihing: lfhe could not come without the
Prehdent's permi1ion it was, upon the
Doctors own thewing, wrong TO grant 1t
to him. But letting aide this confdera-
ton, was it not iomething more than
granting Paine permifion TO come TO A.
merlca, to applaud him and bis labours,
and to pray that they might be con1inu-
ed for with that prayer did the Preiident
conclude his letter Of invitation to Tom
Paine.
Thus in the very fame letter, in which
the Doctor denounces and mathematics
Paine fox his love of revolution and his
hoRility to religion, he eulogizes the per-
Ton who applauds Paine, and prays tor a
continuance ss his labouzs. Ia this COM
