Pass on. thou World,
Follow the prosperous aud the great

Pass or-tllc ponr and fricnl'css know;

Thy halls bright
With music, beauty ull that Wealth reveals
Why should thou pause to think villa, misery
feels;
With what sad tcrrors poverty must Cope
Pass on--tl,c wrctche,I look lo heaven, aud

x Yield health, and boom, aud ever peaceful
skies,
Why seek the couch, where haggard sickness
Pass on--,herc is Gods rpse for sorrows thorn;
''ris not for long!
IL1.,TEMpaR. is undoubtedly
,truc, that more misery is produced
nnong us by the irregularities Of our
;tonG.xtrs, than by real misiortuncs.
AuI. it happens unfortunately, that
these irregularities Of the temper are
most apt to display themselves at our
tircsides, where everything ought to be
tranquil, aud serene. Bat the truth is,
we are awed by the presence Of stran,
gers, and arc afraid Of appearing weak
or illnatured when we get ont into the
world, and 50 very heroically reserve all
our ill-humour for our wives, children
:aud servants. We arc meek where we
light meet with opposition, but feel
ourselves unlauutcdly bold where we
arc sure of no citectual resistance.
