"a FRAGMENT.

%sarth ne'er saw before. Murky clouds
Sveiled the lar face of heavea, and gave
10 pitchy darkness sull deeper dye. |
Yhe nIoOn had 'hsi; and the stars had
CLOSED their eyes for deeds we're doing
they dare not look upon! The gods of
The elements we're abroad. Eolus ex-
utingly led forth his logions, bowling
from their dark caVerns; Neptune foam,
ing with rage, roared madly as he cons
tended with his rock bound prison. The
''incensed Thunderer drawn by his wing
cd steed, in his arial charlot-flashipg
lightning from his eyes, beloved
forth his madness; and ever and anon
the demoniac shou, Of Ate, and the ien
90 dish laughter OF Hecate andsher crew,
were heard above the tempest For
time the7puro streams turned siagnant
and ceased TO flow; The mountain irem>
bled; and the feresl dropped it's leaves,
the flowers lost their fragrance and
wilhered, and all nature became deso-
late. In glee serpents hissed, harpies
2 screamed; and satyrs revelled beneath
the branches Of the Upas. Domestic
$ beasts cteptusar the abodes of men.
The hon relinquished his half eaten
prey; the tiger forgetful ofhs ferceness
q ran howllng to his lair; end .eventhe by

bones. Man alone ofall earlh's crea-
lures slept. But still he slept as if the
'bod!ug Of some alfunknown calamity
brooded Ger his mind. The aspiring
youth muttered ofblasted hopes,, long
cHeriShed;young fair and gfied maidens
would start, and, trembling weep their
injured innocence; and mothers too,
would half awake and while they pres>
sed their little nurslings TO their breast,
would breathe sill .another prayer for
their protection. On such a night,
Hell yawned, and gave to earth a
SLANDERERl ,.

and was an annoyance 10 every sober
persen that entered she bar room. He
was ragged, filthy and bIosted in appear

away; but he was 10 much inebrlaled to
>comply with the orders, and was thrown
bodiiyTnlo the street. This is certainly
amelaucho|y reflection for any phlan-
'thropic'mnd; bui'a still deeper lesson
was to be learned. The poor degraded
creature, with scarce strength to raise
his head appealed to the company by a
reference TO his former station in society.
