chimera resulting from the confused and
disturbed actions of the mind and body in

seeing the figure Of lion cut in stone,

dreamed the night before, and merrily
thrusts bis hand into the lions Jaw, saying,

TO THE COMET.
M1srIc stranger! blaze of light!
Messenger of good or i'll i;
Portent to the wondering sight,
What behest dost thou fulfill
Dost thou tell of blight afar,
Or shall health's kind blessing cease;
Dost thou omen direfu war,
Or confirm the notes ofpeace!
Art thou missioned from above,
Oh. celestial herald say,
Dost thou bring the torch OF love-
Weakening the M1LLENNIAL DAY!
Gould we thus with rapture meet thee,
Emanation of the skies,
How would songs of triumph greet theei
How would mingled praises rise
But though wisdom has denied,
Finite skill thy course to tell;
Though thy errand's undescribed,
Yet we know that I'LL is WELL
HE who speaks in dreadful thunder,
Throned in power above the skyi
He, before whose viewless splendours
All thy radiant glories die
He who holds the bolt of Heaven,
Systems with their course fulfill,
He whose glance through time hath riven,
Goodwill ever guide US still!
Mystic Orb! then urge thy flight,
Soon thy meteor-reign is DER,
Whilst thou burnest the gem of night,
We, admiring, GOD adore.

ExTRAoaDINAR. HONESTY.


A person Of the quaker profession (says
a London paper) having through misior
tune, about forty years ago, become in
solvent, and not being able to pay more
than eleven shilling to the pound, formed
a resolution, if Providence smiled on bis
uture endeavors, to pay the whole a
mount--and in case Of death, he ordered
his sons to liquidate his debts by their
joint proportions. 1t pleased God. how
ever to spare his life-and after strug-
Cling with variety of difficulties. flor bis
livelihood chiefly depended on his own
labor,) he at length saved sufficient TO
satisfy every demand. A few days ago
the old man came with considerable
sum TO the surviving sou of one of his
creditors who has been dead thirty years
and insisted on paying him the money he
owed his father, which he accordingly did,
with heartfelt satisfaction. Such dis
play Of virtuoas principle, we record with
infinite pleasure, as it not only reflects
the highest honor on a worthy individual,
but also on that society TO which he be
|longs-whose members have long been
distinguished, and deseryedly respected,
for their UPRIGHT and equitable dealing.
On this occasion we cannot help ex-
claiming in the language Of Pope, an
honest mans the nobiest work Of God"

1t is related in Sueden's Letters, that
father gave up his estate to his son, aud
went to dwell in his sons house. The
son soon neglected the unhappy parent.
One day in particular, he, by i'll usage,
drove the poor old man from the company
at dinner to his own room, where, with
tears, he lamented the bitter ingratitude
Of his sou. A child of the son came into
the dining parlor. and said that his grand
papa was crying. Go, said the unnatural
son, aud give him blanket to go begging
IN. No, said the child, | will give him

1.-THE following beautiful little Song has been FIRE
quently published, and as often admired.
Go youth BELOVED, to distant glades,
New friends, new hopes, new joys to find:
Yet sometimes deign, midst fairer maids,
To think on her thou leav'st behind.
Thy love, thy fate, dear youth to share,
Must never be my happy lot:
But thou may'st grant my humble pray'ra
Forget me not, forget me not.
Yet should the thoughts of my distress
Too painful to thy feelings be,
Heed not the wish now express,
Nor ever deign to think Of me.
But oh if grief thy steps attend,
If want, if sickness be thy lot,
And thou requir'st soothing friend,
Forget me not, forget me not.
Lines 4mitten By young Lady on a zvi',dos.
The power of Love shall never wound my heart,
Though ne assaiis me with his fercest dart.

THURSDAY. APRIL 22, 1919.

Ifa profound political philosopher were
to be asked what part OF its system was the
most indispensabIy necessary to the pre-
seryation in its greatest purity of free
state, he would no doubt reply, pure and
well appointed Judiciary, with the judges
rendered perfectly independent. In an
Gent Greece and in Rome they took the
best security practicable in such systems as
theirs, against the corruptions of the courts
of justice, by having all suits and processes
discussed and determined in public. 10
be unjust in situation where the auditory
consisted of whole people, who could OBJ
serve the slightest action, and censure the
least improper word, was no doubt difficult
but many people have questioned whefh-
err BY the avoiding Of one evil, they did not
run into another, and whether they did not
in some cases, do more mischiefby subject
ing their proceedings to the capricious ami
madyersions Of lnisudging, captious null
titude, than in others they did good BY an
inquisition so public. Certainly the latter
did not always secure the people against
tyranny and corruption; for the DecemviI

PUNISHMENT OF 1soRArIrupE,

A French writer relates the following re-
markable instance ofthe punishment of in
gratitude in children.-An eminent trader
atLyons, who had acquired an easy fortune,
had two handsome daughters, between
whom, on their marriage, ne divided all his
property, on condition that he should pass
the summer with the one, and the winter
with the other. Before the end of the FIRST
year, he found sufficient ground to conclude
that he was not very acceptable guest to
either of which, he however took no no
tice, but hired handsome lodging, in
which he resided few weeks.-He then
applied to'a friend aud told him the truth,
OF the matter, desiring the gift ID two hum
dred l;vres, and the loan Of fifty thousand
in ready money for few hours his friend
very readily complied with this request !;
and the next day the old gentleman made
splendid entertainments which his daugh-
ters and their husbands were invited. Just
as dinner was over, his friend came in a
great hurry, told him Of an unexpected de-
mand upon him, and desired to know
whether he could lend him $4,000 livres.
The old uan told him without any emotion
that twice as much was at his service, if he
had wanted it; and going into the next
room, brought him the money.-Atter this
he was not suffered to stay any longer in
lodgings ; his daughters were jealous, if he
remained day more in one house than the
other; and after three or tour years spent
with them, he died when upon examining
his cabinet, instead of the livres, there was
found note containing these words:-"He
who has suffered by his virtues has right
to avail himself Of the vices of those by
whom he has been injured and father
ought never TO be so fond of his children as
to forget what is due to himself
