formed that col. Malcolm was the person
expected in that character, they deliberated
among themselves for some minutes, and at
length went 10 the palace for the picture OF
an Ambassador who visited their court IN
the time of queen Elizabeth, and showing
il to the colonel, told him ,hat his dress
was not that of a Civilian, at6' ning at the
same time, that it was impossible his mas
ter could ever suffer SO strange departure
from established customs, as would be The
case, were his servants employed in the dl,
plomalic line, to assume the earb OF militia
ry officers. So hard was it Tor them to
conceive of the contrary, that the cslonels
intimate acquaintance with their language,
display Of TALENTS adapted to his employ
rnent, and the praluc,ion Of his credentials,
were scarcely sufficient to overcome the
scruples and objections that his dress had
oscasiontd. However, notwithstanding
his red coat, ePanlets, whiskers and boots,
he succeeded in convincing the Perslans,
that he was the envoy, and SO insinuased
hims. # into the good opinion and conf
dcnce of the king, that he was completely
successful in his negotiations, and attained
without difficulty every object of his mis-
sion. The grave Persiaas observed sha,
the disposition of the British people mus;
be tickle, frivolous and incoustant, seeing
that according to tt.rir minister's assertion,
they often changed the fashion of their gar
.ments--whereas, the steady, the wise and
the truly noble, allowed of no alteration in
their dress, but were proud of the galb of
their fathers.

Sothoclcs.
SUCH were the sentiments of an ancient
Greek poet of great celebrity of man
who, unenliSh,ened by the rays of divine
revelation, spoke merely from the impulse
ofnature. The ancient Persians, it is said,
were at great pains to learn and habtuate
their children to speak the truth and tho't
this main point in education. The old
Grecians & Romans considered lying so vile
as to degrade freeman to level with their
slaves. The Turks hold a liar in utter con-
tempt. And indeed BY the general consent
OF civilized people, the world over, this
crime is reckoned mark of coward!y
meannesS of nature, and is braided with
infamy.
While the laws and sanctions of chris
tianity solemnly forbid lying, and threaten
it with every thing that is awful, the laws
of fashion condemn and reproach it as the
offspring of apititul dastardIy spirit inso.
much that the notorious liar is excluded By
common consent not only from the commu-
Mon OF abe pious, but also from the society
OF the polite. By a moral abuse Of words,
fair and specious names are given to some
of the toulest deeds. Vices of certain de.
scriptions, of heinous nature and pernicious
tendency, weighed in the scale of fashion.

IL mean, it is SO in some places happily
not in all. But lying is vice prescribed
by the universal suffrages of mankind, bv
christians and jews, mahometans and pa.
gans. Fashion herself will mot admit a
known liar into her circle. in this
single instance, the laws of honor (ab-
surely so cailed) ostensibly accord with
the laws OF religion: the former, however,
treating liar as an outcast, not because he
IS criminal in the sight Of heaven, but be-.
caose-he is mean and pitiful in the eve Of

My dcyioss steps along thy margin stray,
Pensiyely iixt on some vagary Wild,
Imagination wings my thoughts away
TO future hogrs, when with new verdurs
gay,
And HE adorn'd, thy fragrant banks shall
bloom,
And every hill and valley lend its sweet per-

To crown the glories Of the vernal day.
Oh swift, ye paced moments, haste

For notler pleasures wait your wish'd ,fo-

Than capsivate the gay unshinking throrg,
Whom winter reveIlings only can delight.
