s'i] sj' f O ndient pear!, wli.ch crested Fortune wear;,
Ii gem that iwii.kling hangs from beauty’s ears,
ttht bright stars winch night’s blue arch adawn,
r rising funs that gild the vernal morn,
ines with such luftre as jlie TEAR that breaks,
c other's woes down Virtue’s manly cheeks.
From the Mirror,
L I F T.
HAT is this life, and why, or
what ptirpofe was man made? Was he
ated to be the fporr of fortune—to be
(Fetted by the vicissitudes of nature ;
i to become the dupe of his own credul
? No ! nature designed him for a more
jle purpose. He was made susceptible
pain, that he might be capable of en-*
meat ; —and fubjefted to disease, that
might know how to eflimate health,
was made frail, that he might appreci
permanetit happiness; and fubjefted
mortality, that he might be prepared
endless bliss, a future immortality,
en his mortal body should return to its
[line dull. But how variously the
Inties of nature and fortune are beflow
; and how'diverfified the conditions of
n are rendered by apparent incident—
’tis not incident *tis destiny—nay, ’tis
destiny, ’tis virtue and vice !—Vice
n evil germ implanted in the bread of
n by nature; an evil weed, which
ws with his growth, and strengthens
h his ftrength—’tis a thorn, which ran
;rs in his vitals, and transform him to
irrational creature. Virtue is arose,
icb grows, matures, bloflbms, and pro
:es wholeiome fruit—’tis not only fra
nt and savory, but rewards its cultiva
i in a tenfold manner; in short, it makes
m happy What is the pursuit of all
1, but happiness; either here, hereafter,
30th ? Do we not wifli to be happy,
iie we live? And do we not, or should
not, wifli to live, so as to be happy
eaftcr ? That there is an hereafter, all
ure cries aloud through all her works!
n mull d*ligiit in virtue, and that
ich he de'ights in mull be happy !
is world was not made for Caefarson
-no—Howards, Benezrts, and other
rtal heroes, were to aft a part in the
ma of life, on the theatre of this world.
Rapine and deftruftion were not to gov
,i ern all men —a few were to be benevolent,
| humane, and charitable?—Some men aft
I the part of lions, wolves, and tygers —nay,
| i p demons themfelves —running to and fro,
in search of each other, seeking whom
", they may destroy: others are harmlelsas
• doves, peaceful as the lamb, that bleateth
on the sold—preserving the image of their
father God ! Thus are virtue and vice
jeontrafted ! Thus, O ! Vice, art thou de-
l 1 testable ! And thus, meek virtue, art thou
inestimable! If mankind were not vici
ous, then the journey through” life would
bean ealy unvariegated walk. No com
i plaints vy;ould afliuilt our ears—no misfor
n tunes interrupt our paflage to our future
i; clime! But vice Hill lives—perhaps ’tis
,i bed —for heaven permits it, therefore it
fa mull be so! Changes daily take place in
y our lives, which we cannot forefee —fliort
** lighted mortis —futurity is covered with
a veil, which mortal eye* cannot pe etrate!
Blindfolded, we Humble on through lift’s
ntggfd path, not knowing where we are,
till, perhaps, we tumble into eternity,
whence no traveller e’er returns ! Dread
ful reality! no retreat! no elcape? no
device will avail us then —But flop, tra
veller, pause ere it be too late—there's a
remedy, a cheap remedv, a refeue : What,
!o t what is it ? Tis nothing more or
less than religion : seek, therefore, whilst
it ma# bt found, perhaps’tis nearthe elev
enth hour : the day of salvation is near
r an end.
