& SACRED SONG"

There is charm in sacred song,
That lifts the pious thought to Heaven,
That cheers the soul when troubles throng,
And soothes the heart by anguish riven.
A charm, inspires the pious breast,
And fills the heart with pure devotion,
That luIls the hayward thought to rest,
And checks each wandering, wild emotion.
A charm, that dries Affections tear,
In secret shed from many an eye,
That soothes the grief DER friendships bier,
And stiles virtues hallowed sigh.
A charm, can yield purer joy,
Than aught on earth beside can give,
Can soften pain when cares annoy,
And bid each soothing transport live.
A charm, can quell each anxious fear,
And calm the troubled mind to peace,
Can yield balm to soothe US here,
And bid LIES ranking sorrows cease.
A charm, that wakes each lingering hope,
And cheers the gloom of melancholy,
That bids the feeling heart to ope,
And checks the thoughtless smile of folly.
A charm, sends through the heart a thrill,
Of pure, serene, uncloying pleasure,
Which can each boist'rous passion still,
And fill Of joys bright cup the measure.
A charm, the lonely pilgrim cheers,
Journeying through Lfe's gloomy vale,
That queIls bis griefs, that Gains his fears,
And soothes his hopes when friendships fail.
A charm, that bids the soul aspire
Above this scene by tempests riven,
That lights Religions hallowed fire,
And points the eye Of faith to Heaven.

PITY.
How lovely in the arch of Heaven,
Appears yon sinking orb of light,
As parting thro' the clouds of even,
1t gilds the rising shades of night
Yet brighter, fairer, shines the tear,
That trickles DER misfortune's bieri
Sweet is the murmur of the gale
That whispers through the summers grove;
Soft is the tone of friendships tale,
And softer still the voice of love:
And softer far the tears that flow,
To mourn, to soothe another's wo.
Richer than richest diadem
That glitters on the monarch's brow;
Purer than oceans purest gem,
Or all the wealth that art can show
The drop that swells in PHYS eye,
The pearl of sensibility!
Is there spark in earthly mould,
Fraught with one ray of Heavenly fire!
Does man one trait of virtue hold,
That even angels must admire
That spark is PHYS radiant glow
That trait, the tear for others wol
Let false philosophy decry
The noblest feelings of the mindi
Let wretched sophists madly try
To prove pleasure more re6n'd--
They only strive in vain to steal
The tenderness they cannot feel
To sink in natures last decay,
Without friend to mourn the fall
To mark its embers die away,
Deplored by none-unwept by ALI
This--this is sorrows deadiiest curse,
Nor hate, nor he'll can form worse!
Take wealth. know its paltry worth
Take honor-it will pass away;
Take power-I scorn the bounded earth;
Take pomp-its trappings soon decay;
But spare me, grant me PHYS tear,
To soothe my woe-and mourn my BIER

An apothecary having refused to resign
his seat at the theatre TO an officers lady,
the officer feeling himself much insulted,
sent him challenge. The apothecary
was punctuai at the meeting, but observed
that not having been accustomed to fire,
he had to propose new way of settling
the dispute. He then drew from his
pocket pilLbox, and taking from thence
two pills, thus addressed his antagonist
" As man of honour, sir, you certainly
would not wish to fight me on unequal
terms; here are, therefore, two pills one
composed of the most deadly poison, the
other perfectly harmless--we are, there
fore, on equal ground, if we each swallow
one; you shall take your choice, and I
promise faithfully to take that which you
leave" 1t is needless to add, that the
affair was settled by hearty laugh.
