A MORAL LESSON IN RHYME

A MORAL LESSON in RHYME.
II mans pride shall bring him Tom.
WHEN men of arrogance attempt to soar
Above the limits of their destined sphere,
Their every effort serves to sink them lower,
Curtail'd and baffied in their wild career.
Yet witless wights in rash pursuit of fame,
Strive for pre-eminence of power and place
Who, if they gain the rank at which they aim,
Become the heralds of their own disgrace.
Some fools are smitten with the love of dress,
And spend their little all to make show,
Pride proves the cause and prelude of distress;
Attempts at high life bring the coxcombs low.
Some splendid sinners proud of being vile,
For genteel vices high preteusions urge,
They play the knave and debauchee in style,
And claim wreath for meriting scourge.
Some place their pride in wealth by fraud obtain'd
Cash, houses. lands the monuments OF guilt
The conqueror boasts of battles he has gain'd,
And laureIs drench'd in blood unjustly split.
All such vain boasters glory III their shame,
The need of vice no honor can bestow,
Impell'd by Pride, 6 bad emiDence'' their aim,
They gain at last pre-eminence in wo.

"wHAr DoEsT THOU HERE"
Kings, xix. 9.
On, whence should care disturb thy breast,
And anxious hopes invade;
These cares can never yield thee rest,
These brilliant hopes shall fade
Say, can this dross thy thoughts endear'
Saw, say my soul, " What do'st thou here !"
Why should'st thou prize these aeetins Joys,
And build thy Heaven on earths
All, soon each false enjoyment eloys'
And vain is empty mirth-
Tell. can they bring true pleasure near,
Tell me, my soul, "What do'st thou here {"
yVhv should'st thou mourn thy lot unkind,
When sorrows bosterous flood
Has closed around thy 'nighted mind,
But brought thee near to God!
Is HE not All? is Heaven not dear
Say, weeping soul, "What do'st thou here e
Look up with joy-thy rests above,
IT'S safe from every snare;
Celestial peace unites with love,
And bliss is perfect there!
Is not this blessed fruition near
Tell me, my soul, " What do'st thou here!'

True Retigi0n.-False ideas may be
entertained OF religion, as false aud imper-
feet conceptions OF virtue have often pre-
vailed in the world. But to true reli-
gion there belongs no suIlen gloom-no
melancholy austefity, tending to withdraw
man from human society, or to diminish
his exersions Of active virtue. On the
contrary, the religious principle, rightly
understood, not only uni,es with all sue h
virtues, but supports, fortifies, and con-
firms them. 1t is SO far from obscuring
the lustre of character, that it height
ems and ennobles it. 1t adds to all the
moral virtues, venerable and authorita-
tive dignity. 1t renders the virtuous
character more august. To decorum
of a palace, it eDjoins the majesty OF a
temple.
Effects Of Religion. cn.--Religion prepares
the mind of man Ior all the events of this
inconstant state, and instructs him 10 the
nature of true happiness; early weaving
him from an undue love Of the world. AZ
flictions do not attack him by surprise,

is equipped for the storm, as well as the
calm in this dubious navigation of life
He is not overcome by disappointment,
when that which is mutable begins to
change, and when that which he knew 10
be transient passes away.
Religion not only purifies the heart {; SC
that the devout man is neither lifted up
by success, nor enervated by adversely
He meets the changes in his lot withou,
unmanly detection. He is Injured to tenn.
perance and restraint. He has learned
firmuess and self-command. He is accus.
toned to look up to Supreme Provi
dence, not with reverence only, but with
trust and hope.
In prosperity, he cultivates his mind
stores it with useful knowledge, will
good principles and virtuous dispositions
The resources remain entire, when tn,
trouble comes. His chief pleasures arr
always Of the calm, innocent and TEN

A Russian biographical account Of SU-

city Of his disposition was eyinced by the
horrible massacres Of Oczakoff, IsmailoT,
and Praga, where 10000 Poles are said
to have been sacrificed to his vengeance,
yet be sometimes showed more peculiar
ardor Of ferocity. To the French 10 par

A Crown.--A French officer, who was
prisoner OIL his parole at Reading, met
with bible. He read it, and was so
struck with its contents, that he was con
vinced OF the folly Of sceptical principles,
and Of the truth of Christianity, and re-
solved 10 become a protestant. When
his gay associates rallied him for taking
so serious turn, he said 10 his yindica-
ton, " have done no more than my old
schoolfellow Bernadotte, who is become a
Lutheran. " Yes, but he became so,
(said his associates,) to obtain crown. "
6 My motive" said the Christian officer
is the same; we only differ as to place.
The object Of Bernadotte is to obtain a
crown in Sweden--mine is to obtain a

Original in every thing, and even aifecl'
ing originality, this semi-barbarlan some
times appeared wrapped up 10 sbeeps
skin, like Cossack, and at Other umes
vas covered with crosses, with badges OF
orders, and portraits which he had re.
ceived. These latter ornaments, joined
TO his little grim countenance and his iaLk
figure, gave him more the appearance OF
an Italian charlatan than the general OF
an army. Although he, gave the world
reason to suspect bis sanity, yet, from
sharing their dangers, their fatigues, and
their traga! fare, he. was always the idol
of the soldiers. The anecdote Of his
quelling a mutiny among his troops is
crossing the Alps is well known. His
soldiers, overwhelmed with fatigues and
disspirited with hardships, no longer o.
beyed bis voice, or observed their usual
discipline. He ordered ditch TO be,
dug and stretched himself in it, crying out
TO his mutinous soldiers, 6 Cover me up
with earth, your general desires here to
be Inferred since you abandon him."
They all threw themselves at his feet, and
followed him with devotion and enthusi-
asm. The emperor Alexander has caused
a statue to be erected to his name, and the
grand duke Constantine has pronounced
public eulogium on his memory but
such honors will not remove the stain Of
capricious ferocity from his character, or
induce history to paint him in any other
colors than those OF fortunate military
madman or an enterprising savage.
