THE LITERARY "MosAIC.1
BY ANTIouARIus.

BY ANTIoUARIUs,
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
In every cline, from Lapland to Japan:
To fix one spark OF beauty's heavenly ray,
The proper study of mankind is man.
Tell-for You can-what it is to be wise,
Sweet Auburn lovlest village of the plain,
The man of Ross, each lisping babe replies,
And dfags at each remove, a length'ning
chain.
Ali who cab tell how hard It is to climb
Far as the solar walk, or milky way;
Procrastination is the thief of time,
Let Hercules himself do what he MAY.
IT'S education forms the common mind
The feast of reason and the flow Of soul
must be cruel only to be kind,
And wait sigh from Indus to the pole.
Syphax, 1 joy to meet thee thus alone,
Where'er roam, whatever lands see;
A youth to fortune and 10 fame unknown,
In maiden meditation fancy free,
Farewell and wherso'er thy voice be tried
Why to yon mountain turns the gazing
eye?
With spectacles ON nose and pouch on side,
That teach native moralists to die.
Pity the sorrows OF poor old man,
Whose beard, descending, swept his aged
breast;
Laugh where we must-be candid where We
Man never is but always to be blest.
