The sun Of earthly love may rise.

The sun of earthly leve may rise,
Y To cheer life's wintry day;
But from the youths deluded eyes
That sun shall fade away.
The moon of friendship o'er this night
May shed her beams serene; seu
Butsoon, full soon, her placid light
Shall leave the lonely scene.
The stars ofscience may perform
-e Their visionary dance;
But, quickly shall the midnight stosHs
, Of ignorance advance. ra
The flowers Of happiness may show
Their blossoms to the vale;
But soon by nipping winds laid low,
They wither in the gale.
Ifyou wouldst seek the sun of love,
Or friendships moon divine,
Oh! turn thine eyeto heaven above.
In heaven alone they shine.
And if thy anxious heart desire
True science and true bliss,
Thy longing bosom must aspire
TO worlds more pure than this

A DAMpER.-A young city fop, in company
with some bellies offashion, was riding into
the country pleasuring, when they saw poor
rustic looking country lad at work by the
road side. Thinking it fine opportunity to
show his wit to the damsels, by sporting
with the poor boys ignorance, he thus ac-
costed him:-"Can you inform me, Mr..
Zebedee, how far it is to where l am going,
and which is the most direct road?" Poor
Zebby not ut all daunted, but with the most
sober and composed face, said, "If you are
going to the gallows, it is but shor, distance;
if to the Jail, it stands but few rods this side;
but if only to poverty and disgrace, you are
now approaching your journeys end. AS for
the most direct road, you are now In it and
cannot miss the way" The dandy dropped
his head and drove on.
