ADDRESS 70 THE OCEAN,

Hail, thou inexhaustabie source OF
wonder and contemplation Hail,
thou multitudinous ocean whose
waves chacc one another down like
the generations Of men, and, after a
momentary space, are lmnerged for
ever in oblivion Thy Ruotuating
waters wash the varied shores OF the
world, and while they lisjoin nations
whom nearer connection would in.
yclve, in eternal war, they circulate
their arts and lsbours, to gave health
and plenty to mankind.
How glorious, how awful are the
scenes thou displaycst A! Whether we
view thee " hen every wind is hushed,
when the morning silyers the level
line of the horizon, or when the c.
vel in tract is marked with flaming
gold, and thy unt,p!ed bosom rejects
the radiance of the overarching hea-
yens Or whether we behold thee
in Thy terrors when the black tenn
pest sweeps thy swelling pillows,
and the boiling surge mixes with the
clouds when death rides the storm,
and humanity drops trui,less tear
for the toilins mariner, whose heart
is sinking with dismay.
And yet. mighty deep tits thy
surface alone we view. Who can pc
netrate the secrets Of thy wide do.
main What eye can visit thy i'm
mense rocks and cayerns, that teen
with life and vegetation Or search
OUT the myriads Of objects. whose
beauties lie scattered over ,hy dread
abyss :
The mind staggers with the i'm
mensi,y ofits own conceptions: and
when it cont-mpla,es the Aux and
reaux Of thy tides, which, from the
beginning of the world, were neve.
known TO err, how does it shrink a,
the idea of that Divine Power which
originally laid thy foundations SC
sure, and whose omnipo.ent voice
hath fixed the limits where III,
proud waves shall be stayed!

ness and insanity, and indeed they
are so much alike, that they some.
times cannot be distinguished; and
their effects are often equally fatal.
The first step to moderation is TO
perceive that we are falling into a pas
sion. 1t is much easier wholly to
prevent ourselves from falling into
passion, than to keep it within just
bounds; that which few can mod.
crate, almost any body may pre-
vent.
A passionate temper renders man
unfit for advice, deprives him OF
reason, robs him of all that is great
or noble in his nature, destroys
friendship, changes justice into cru
city, and turns all order into eontu'
sion.
Augustus, who was prone to an
ger, got the following lesson from
AthenoJorus the philosopher. That
SO soon as he should feel the first en-
o,ions towards anger. he should re.
peat deliberately the whole letters of
the alphabet for that anger was
easily prevented, but not easily sub
dued. TO repress anger, it is good
method to turn the injury into a jest.
Socrates having received blow on
the head, observed, that it would be
| we'll if peoDle knew when il were ne.
cessary to put on helmet. Being
kicked by boisterous fellow, and
his friends wondering at his patience
T" What (said hey if an ass should
kick me. must | call him before a
judge :" Being attacked with op-
probious language, he calmly obser-
we'd, that the man was not yet taught
TO speak respectfully.

less dangerous. The theatre Of sen.
suality exhibits scenes Ct waste and
brutality, OF noisy mirth and tumultu-
ons riot; presents to observation per-
nicious goblets, overloaded tables.
lascivious dancing, receptacles Tor
disease, tombs with faded roses. and
all the dismal human haunts of pain.
But 10 him who retires with destesta-
ton from such gross delights, the
Joys of sense are of more elevated
kind soft, sublime, pure, perma-
ncn. and tranquil.

THE TEMPEST.

The tempest has darken'd the face Of the SKIES
The winds whistle widely across the waste plain
The 6ends Of the whirwind terrific arise,
And mingle the clouds with the white foamng
wave.
All dark is the night and all gloomy the shore,
Save when the red lghtnings the ether divides
Then follows the thunder, with loud sounding roar,
And echoes in concert, the bilowy tide.
But tho all is murky and shaded with gloom.
Hope, the sooher. soft whispers, the tempest shall
cease i;
Then nature again in her beauty shall bloom,
And enamour'd embrace the fair sweet-smiling
peace.
Fer the bright-bushng morning all rosy with light,
Shall convey her wings the Creator Of day,
He shall drive all the and terrors OF niShs-
And nature envcned, again shall be gay,
Then the warblers of spring shall attune the soft lay
And again the bright howret shall blush in the
On the breast of the ocean the zephry shall play,
And the sunbeam shall sleep the hill, and the
dale.
IF the tempests of nature sink to rest,
If her once Faded beauties so soon glow again,
Shall man BIS forever by tempests Oppressed,
BY the tempess of passion, of sorrow, and pain
All no for his passions and sorrows shall ceace,
When the troublesome fever of life shall be DER ;
In the night of the grave he sh- sdlnbes in peace.
And passion and sorrow shall vex hm no more
And shall this night and its long dismal gloom,
Like the night of the tempest again pass away
Yes the dust Of the earth in bright beauty shall
bloom,
And rise to the morning of heavenly day !

HEROISM OF A PEASANT.

The following generous action has
always struck me extremely there
is somewhat even Of sublime in it.
A great inundation having taken
place in the north of Italy, owing to
an excessive fall of snow in the Alps,
followed by speedy thaw, the river
A.!idge carried off bridge near We
roma, except the middle part, on
which was the house Of toll ga,herer,
or porter, forget which and who
with his whole family, thus remain.
ed Imprisoned by the waves, and in
momcntary danger of destruction.
Theywerc discovered from TIE banks,
stretching forth their hands scream
ing, and imploring succour, while
fragments OF this remaining arch
were continually dropping into the
water.
In this extreme danger. noble
man, who was present, count of
Pulyerlni, l think, held out purse
Of one hundred sequins, as reward
to any adventurer who would take a
boat, and delive. this unhappy fami.
ly.--But the risk was SO great of be.
ing borne down by the rapidity Of
the stream, of being dashed against
the fragments of the bridge, or of be.
ing crushed by the falling stones,
that not one, in the vast number Of
spectators, had courage enough to
attempt such an exploit.
A peasant, passing along, was in.
formed OF the proposed reward. In
mediately jumping into a boat, he, by
the strength Of oars. gained the mid
die of the river, brought his boat un.
der the pile and the whole family
safely descended by means OF a rope.
Courage ~ cried he-"now you
are safe" BY still more strenuous.
effort. and great strength of arm, he
brought the boat, and family to shore
"Brave fellow" reclaimed the count
handing the purse to him, 9 here i.
the promised recompence," +"
shall never expose my life for mon
ey, answered the peasant, j." My la
bour is sufficient livelihood for my
self, my wife, and children. Civ,
the purse to this poor family, which
has lost all.''
