CHanIEs SrRAeus, of Boston, was delivered b,
MIR. Simpson.
ADDRESS.
When nitred zeal, in wild, lnholy days,
5 Barred bis red arm, and babe the faggot blaze,
Our patriot sres the pilgrim sail unfirled,
And freedom pointed to rival world,
Where prow!ed the wolf and where l,e hun
ter roycd,
Faith raised her affairs to the God she loved :
Toll, linked with art, explored each savage
E wild,
The forest bowed, the desert bloomed ant
smiled; s&
Taste reared her domes, fair science spread
her page, 81
And wit and genius gathered round the Stage.
The Stage where fancy sits creative queen,
And spreads gay web-work DER lifyfs mimic
scene;
Where young-eyed wonder comes to feast mis-
sight,
And quail instruction while he drinks delight.
The Stage that threads each labyrinth of tie
soul,
Wakes laughter's peal, and bids the tear-dtop
roll;
That boots at folly, mocks proud fashid ms
slaves, 't ss
And brands with shame the worlds vile DRIVE
of knaves.
The child of genius, catering for the stage.
Rifles the stores ofevery cline aud age.
He speaks the sepulchre resigns its prey
And crimson life runs thro' the sleeping clay /;
The wave, the gibbet, and the battle field,
At his command, their lettering tenants yield.
Here wisdom's heir, released from deaths EN-
brace, u as
Reads awful lessons to another race,
Pale, bleeding love comes weeping from the
tomb,
That kindred spfness may bcwail her doom
Murders dry bones, re-clothed desert the dust
That after times may own his sentence .iust
And the mad tyrant of some Wondering page
Stalks here to warn, who once could curse an
age.
May this fair dome, in classic beauty reared,
BY taste be fostered, and by worth revered;
May chastened wit here bend to virtues cause,
Reflect her image and repeat her laws;
And vice, that s'unbers DER the sacred page,
Hate his own likeness, shad9wed from the
stage.
Here let the guardian of the drama sit
In righteous judgement DER the realm of wit.
Not his the shame, the seryile pen to wait
On. private friendship, or on private hate
TO Aatter fools, or satire's javelin dart,
Tipp'd with a lie, at proud ambitions heart
His be the nobler task to herald forth,
Young blushing merit and neglected worth;
To stamp with scorn the prostituted page,
And lash the fool who lisps it from the stage.
Here shall bright genius wing his eagle flight,
Rich dew-drops shaking from his plumes of
light.
IT'LL high in mental worlds, from vulgar ken,
He scars the wonder and the pride of men,
Cold censnrc here to decent mirth shall bow,
And bigotry unbend his monkish brow;
Here toll shall pause, his ponderous sledge
throw by,
And beauty Bless each strain with melting eye;
Grief, too, in fiction lost, shall cease to weep,
And all TIE worlds rude cares be laid to sleep,
Each polished scene shall taste and truth ap-
49, prove, 0s
And the STAGE triumph in the peoples love.

variety of circumstances have prevented it,
have had il in constant operation three

The following s the idea have it.
No Printing Press has ever been construct

done in given time.
The exertionof working tits no more than
healthy exercise for boy of > years of age.
