BIZ THE CARRIERS.

x 81 THE caRRIERs.
WITH joy let US hail the approach of the NEw YEAR,
z And welcome the which always gives birth
z 10 social delights and to plenty of good Cheer
Y When all are inspired with innocent mrh.
Y !! this is the season for joy and for gladness,
To entertain hope and to drive away fear;
y To cherish dependency surely is madness,
Q And indicates plainly that you are no seer.
z But let me advise those whose tables grooming
With ev'ry thing good that their wealth procure,
To think of the children of wretchedness, moaning
Q Their state ito be kind and remember the poor
y With promptitude visit the lone widows dwelling
o And cause her disconsolate heart to rejoice;
Is The breast OF the orphan with gratitude swelling
g Shall glow with delight at the sound of your voice
y Such conduct this will eynce that you're grateful,
0 And show you remember the HAND that bestows:
o Ingraitude is of all sins the most hateful
8 To Heaven, the bountiful source from whence flows
q Your mercies whose generous gifts extended
Whose kindness has wpd from your eye sorrows tear;
From death and from danger your lives has defended
X And brought you again to behold New Year.
q o Winter, / love thce,-for when thou art wearing
"a Thy beautiful garments transcendently white,
And health strength and yigor to all thou art bearing
The eyes of the fair, like the stars shine bright.
x o virtuous beauty is truly delightful,
x And more to be prz'd than the favor of kings;
Y And will deny but old bachelors spiteful,
That WOMEN and WINTER very good things.
The charms of the cherry checked maidens heightened
BY winter, and look more enchantingly fair;
Their wits, ever charming and sprighty brghend
" And what in this world with their smiles can compare
We DEAR pretty creatures, how dark and how cherries
The place. where from beautys bright eye shines rays
% Dspelling the gloom and with brillancy peerless,
% The clouds of dependency driving away.
Y o this is the season to court and to marry
" Let lovers be wise then and act not the Ounce
" F'My DEAR will you have ?'-dont venture larry
W To ask her the question pop ii at
90 And if she refuses don't grow melancholy,
% And sigh, and lament, and give place to despair;
20 But urge her again-to give up would be folly;
M At first to say " NO ~ is the way with the fair.
% 'Ts likewise the the debts to be paying,
W That you have contracted the year that is past
90 To settle accouns-for tits dang rous delaying,
% Since time, which is precous is feeting SO fast:
M Then whilst you're enjoying the blessings of winter
M At home, in contentment and reading the news
X o think for moment-''Do oaUe the Printer ?'
~ If so, then be honest, and pay him his dues
% Resolve since to a New Year you're permitted
.60 That folly no longer your minds shall enslave;
.M And then shall the errors already committed,
III BY Mercy be plunged in Oblivion's grave:
III Thus when the great debt all must pay, is demanded,
TX The summons by you shall be heard without fear;
TX Your spirits to mansions of bliss be remanded
.W And oyfully spend an eternal New YEAR
