POMPEH.

THUS deep, beneath
Earth's bosom, and the mansions of the graves
Ofmen, are graves of cities. Such, Of late,
From its long sleep of darkness disinterr'd,
Pompeii, with its low and buried roofs.
Rose dark upon the miners progress, like
A city of the dead a tomb, perchance,
Where living men were buried! Tyrant Death!
How didst thou triumph then! thou us'dst TO
steal
Behind thy sallow harbinger disease.
Or take thine open and determinate stand
In battles ranks, with Danger at thy side,
Forewsming gallant breasts PREPARED to die;
But thereby spectral visage darken'd forth,
Amid the joyous bosom scenes Of life,
From its invisible ambush There-t found
The myriad phantasies of hearts and brains,
Young loves, and hopes, and pleasures, all
abroad,
Spreading their painted wings, and wantoning
In life's glad summer breeze, from flower to
flower!
And, with the fatal spell of one dread glance,
Blasted them all How sunk the tender maid
Then silent in the chill and stifening clasp
OF her dead lover! Echo had not ceas'd
To catch loves inarticulate ecstacies,
Strand in first embrace-forever, then,
Fix'd statue-like in Deaths tremendous arms.
A hideous contrast lone fell moment still'd
Lovers and foes alike--worlxeEs of good,
And guilty wretches then the statesman's
brain
Stopp'd in its calculation, and the bard
Sunk by his lyre-the loud procession
Before the temple--all the cares of life,
With action and contrivance, thro' the streets
Throng'd multitudinous, in their busy time
OF hustle and magnifcence-and all
LIES thousands were abroad, and the high
sounds
OF civick pomp rose audible from far -
Eut louder rose the terrible voice of ruin
Over their mirth, BE sTILLn-and all was
hush'd,
Save the short shadderiug cries that rose I'M
heard
The upturn'd chances from thousand homes
Thro' the red closing surge the awful sroan
OF agitated Nature-and, beneath,
Ten thousand victims tun'd to die Above,
Bright sun-beams lit the plain--a nameless
tomb ~

Speak not evil one of another, brethren.
James iv. IL.
proceed to consider this vice in its
inferiour grades, as it consists in exhib-
iting the lighter faults of character for
the entertainment of our friends, or our
social parties. They are made the sub
ject of uncharitable comment from vari-
Gus motives /; sometimes as a mere sup
plement to the harrenness of converse
ton sometimes only to give vent to the
impulses of loquacious humour; at
other times to indulge a vein of faeedous-
ness and pleasantly to amuse frivol-
Gus curiosity; to crafty some private
pique, or avenge some imaginary inju-
ry; or, finally, to please those whom
the narrator may conceive he has an in
terest in pleasing, by sacrificing rival
to his vanity or resentment.
- * 4 3
The first cause from which men us-
ually have recourse in society, to this
unworthy anecdote, is mere barrenness
Of thought. Vulgar minds are little ca
pable of the elegant displays of wit, or
the agreeable and instructive discussion
of the usual rational and useful topieks
Of discourse.
f. ,
Not uncommon is it also to meet with
those thoughtless spirits who offend a
gainst this rule of charity, merely thro'
natural and imprudent loquacity.-
Governed by this mischievous impulse,
they seldom regulate their discourse
with judgment. And unhappily the de-
feet of judgment is rarely the only frail-
ty united with this indiscreet tempera-
ment. Too often we find pernicious
humour of prying into the secret affairs
of individuals, and of families, even by
the most circuitous means, and from the
most corrupted sources, in order to fur
nish out the unworthy fund Of their in
exhaustible volubility. And although
they are commonly persons of weak and
frivolous minds, yet are they, not un-
frequently, malignant also; and have
the mischieVous power of rendering
more deserving characters unhappy,
and sowing the seeds of dscord through
society.
If your company is in vein Of pleas
antry, how often does the common
cheerfuiness cruelty seek entertainment
in the foibles, or perhaps, grosser de-
linquencies, Of their friends
=
Suffer me, on this occasion, strongly
to appeal to the selflove Of every hear
er. Imagine yourselves the subjects of
this humiliating pleasantly, and, by the
keenness Of youl feelings, Judge Of the
injury you may be doing to the sensibil-
ity of others. In the view of Christian
ity, Indifference to their happiness is a
sin against the genuine principles of
charity; lightly to trihe with their Just
and natural claims to respect, is the
hardness of sellishness; 10 be sportive
with their failings, is the triumph of ma
lightly.
In this view let rs contemplate the
ordinary strain Of those social parties

Or beamy morn TO captive ee',
Or music to the prison'd ear,
Save that wild cacence-Liberty!
The Orient Sun with golden light
MAY stud the palace Of the free,
But noon day CLEANS are dull as night
To her who weeps for Liberty
Young Spring hath not flower to charm,
Nor tint OF grace, nor breath of glee,
Nor smile to cheer nor ray to warm,
The heart bereft of Liberty!
For Freedom is the sun--the dew
Springs life, and summers fragrant Sigh -
We riot in its radiant hue
And when its glory sets--we die!
