Eye FOR SHAME.

Behold a damscl in distress,
Above sixteen, indeed, tits true;
For ever snubbd by aunty Bess,
"A cross old maid OF forty.two:
To Strephon If ! smile or speak,
She cries-That spirit, miss, I'll tame;
And should he kiss my hand or check,
'Tis--Forward hussy, fye for shame
But yet know, 'twixt you and I,
lis envy only makes her rail;
For yester evening Parson Sly
Slept in to taste my fathers ale:
Close up TO h IS his chair he drew,
First kiss'd her, then confessed flame;
She smil'd and blush'd; when in flew,
And cry'd--Fye, aunty, fye for shame.
10 let her rail no more at me,
think she now may hold her tongue;
For women kind, plainly see,
Are aitalks, both old and young.
And should young Strephou urge his suit,
And beg the happy day Id name,
Believe me, l would not be mute,
Tho all the world cry dye for shame.

POETRY
From the Saturday ESening Post.
HOPE,

Hope is bright and bcaming star,
That lights the wandercr on his way;
In brilliance glitt'ring from afar,
Joy emanates from every ray;
II cheers and guides his lonely course,
II soothes his mind and lulls his care;
Nor sorrows pang, nor keen remorse,
With him their stings enyenomed share.
Hope fills his heart with gratitude,
II watts on high TO heaven his prayeri
Hope beams upon his solitude,
And sheds its bright effulgencc thcrei
II launch upon the billowy deep,
The mountain torrents foaming rage,
In its wild course his bark should sweep,
sull will its power his thoughts engage.
When his frail tenement Of clay
Is calpd TO close its short career,
Hope bids his troubled spirit say,
"Dismiss thy cares-be Of good cheer!"
He gszes on its bear divine,
Fix'd in the armament afar;
Where it for ever bright will shine,
The wanderers guide--his polar star.
