to the serious perusal of those particularly
who are entering upon the practice Of law
after promising that these rules are said to
have been established by hina in conformity
to general Washington's parting injunction
TO the officers of his army-that those who
had been useful in militarylife should en-
deavor to be equally useful in theneiyil func-
tions of society.

LOVE AND PLEURISY.


wrTApHoRIeAL EXPRESSIONS & LITERAL
TRUTHS COMPARED & APPRECIATED.
Written xpsn recovering from a pieurisy,
and addressed to a tasssienate and poetic
Icoes.
While flames of love employ your songs,
IT'S mine to chaunt inhamed lungs;
YOU sing of torrents in the breast,
!, in tho region of the chest;
They both are near; but which IS best
Depriv'd ofbreath, my pangs deny
The con ISOLATION of a Sigh @
A consolation you ENJOY.
Each time cough, ten thousand, sInasts
Exceed the keenest of your carts.
Do you lament your freedom he'd
Behold me captive to my bed
You rabturous hug the chains you love,
What can he hug who cannot move
! You talk of feyerssin the brain,
Of pangs that thrill through ev'ry VEIN
Come look at me, and then complain.
You boast of tenderness, and:mine is such,
scream with pain upon the slightest touch
I grant some anguish you endure,
But how extatic is your cure
Two bleeding hearts, they say, have charms ;
IT'S not the case withholding arms
: Bliss sympathetic would they know,
If streamlets should forever flow
When charming Chloe Jeels ysur pain,
You instantly are well, again
You drink in cordials from her eyes,
Your bosom glows with sweet surprize,
Your spirits mount above the skies.
What is the cure the patient knows :
A cure that robs him ofrepose;
With Spanish flies his bosom gloWss
Tho mildest cordials for his ills
Are nauseous draughts and bitter pills.
Thus if you grieve, lament, and sigh,
And moan your fate, all, well may i.

Shock hands-were friends, as they had been
before
/" BOUNDS" says the honest client, how come

To be such friends, who were such foes just

" Thou fool" says one, "we lawyers though
so keen,
Like shears, ne'er cut yourselves, but, what's

v-tiltt2eE
have thy feet been wandering?"
81 have been wandering along the mea~
dows, in thick grass. The cattle were
feeding about me, or reposing in the cool
shade the corn sprung ,ap in the fur
rows; the poppy and the hare-bell grew
among the wheat the fields were white
with summer, and glowing with Beau
..ty."
6 Didst thou see: nothing more? Didst
thou observe nothing beside? Return a.
gain, Child of Reason, for there are great
er things than these. God was amongst
the fields, and didss not thou perceive him !?
His beauty was upon the meadows his
smile enlivened the sunshine"
Z" have walked through the thick forest;
the wind whispered among the trees
the brook fell from the rock with q plea
SAINT murmur--the squirrel leaped from
Dough to Dough; and the birds sung to
each other amongst the branches"
Didst thou hear nothing but the mur
muir of the brook NO whispers, but the
whispers of the wind !. Return again, Child
of Reason, for there are greater things than
these. God was among the trees; his
voice sounded in the murmur of,he water !;
his music warbled in the shade; and didst
thou not attend :"
'Et saw the moon rising behind the trees
it was like the lamp of gold. The stars,
one after another, appeared in the clear
armament. Presently saw black clouds
arise, and roll towards the south; the
lightning streamed in thick flashes over
the sky-she thunder growled at dis
lancet came nearer, and felt afraid,
afur it was loud and terrible"
+" Did thy heart feelno terror, but Of the
thuader bolt' Was there nothing bright
and terrible, but the lightning? Return, O
Child of Reason, for there are create r
things than these. God was in the storm,
and didst thou not perceivehim? Histe
rors were abroad, and did not thy heart
acknowledge him
s'God is in every place--he speaks in
every sound we hear--he is in all that our
eyes behold. Nothing, o Child of Rea-
son, is without God. Let God, then, be
in all our thoughts.
