But IL repentance In season
And they discard their phrensied guide,
Wen gladly mid returning reason,
And welcome UrAH, purified

With our friends both far aud near,
And maintains thsa social anion

To their destind posts in haste,
In.tarting knowledge--mind improving,
Which else barren waste!
THOMPSON, next in line appearing,
In growing gre4tneSs shows
How the western wilds, BY clearing,
Blossom forth The fragrant rose

Through ihs care, from darksoms nlsLi,

By expositious clear aud sound
