MUSES RETRO
From an English AKooM^^d--
FATHERLESS FANNfj*'
a ballad —ar mas.
Keen and cold is the blast loudly whiWinc arounj,
As cold as the lips that once fmil’J upon me ;
And unyielding, alas! as the hacd-froi:n ground,
The arms once so ready my thelter t > hr.
Both my parents are dead, and few friends lean boast;
But few to console and to love me, if any ;
And my gains are so small, a bare pittan-e, at mol',
Repays the exertions ofrATHtRLus Fanny.
Once, indeed, I with pleasure and patience could toil,
But ’twas when my parents fat by and approv’d !
Then, my laces to fell, I went out with a smile,
Because my fatigue fed the parents 1 lov’d.
And at night, when 1 brought them my hardly
earn’d gams,
Tho’ small they might be, still my comforts were
many :
For my mother’s fond bleflTmg rewarJed my pains;
My father (loud watching to welcome his FannV.
But, ah ! now that I work by their presence uncheer’d,
I feel ’ti* a harJlhip indeed to be poor ;
While I Ihrink from fatigue, now no longer endear’d,
And sigh as I knock atthe wealthy man’s door.
Then, alas! when at night I return to my home,
No longer 1 boift that my comforts are many ;
To a fiient, lelertcd, dark dwelling I come,
Where no one exclaims, “ thou art wil
come, my Fanny 1”
That, that is the pang 1 Want and toil would impart
No grief to my bread, if kind fri mils I could lee;
For the wealth I require is the wealth of the heart j
The smiles of afFeftion are riches to me.
Then, in pity, ye rich, when to you I apply
To purchase my goods, though you do not buy any,
Willi the accents of kindness O deign to deny I
You’ll comfort the heart of poor maths r
lsis Fanny.

“ Owe no man any thing
BECAUSE the intere/l will eat while
you are .dleep. It is like the mouse that
bv iiKeffint diligence eats through a cable
it is like a constant dropping, which
wears away (tones. It is more deftruftive
than fire : for ir will conform; your house,
though it {hould be built fire-proof; it will
also consume your land and all your sub
stance.
ConfiJer, roan, the sum that the (hoeing
of a horse would come to, at a penny a
nail, and doubling the penny as often as
there are nails in the (hues; and then cal
culate the increase of compound interest,
which doubles the debt once in about ten
years.
“ Owe no man any thing."
Because if you plunge into debt, you
forfeit vour independence. When pay
dav comes, (and it always cones with a
quick pace) you will be in the power of
your creditor, and he may arrelt vou and
deprive you of vour liberty. The debtor
lives in servile fear of his creditor, and is
unable to Hand up before him plumb, and
with countenance ereft. as man ought to
Band before man ; but he (heepilh'.v looks
downupo i the ground, or turns his eyes
•fkance, like a criminal, and the blood
flees fro n h s coward heart into his face.
Now, if vou barter away your indepen
dence for a fine coat or gown, for a fine
horse or carriage, or for a fine any thing,
“ you give too much tor the whiffle.”
“ Owe no man any thing."
Because running into debt leads to run
ning into lying. A diftingnilhed (age of
this country remarked, that “ lying rides
upon debt’s back." The debtor, in or
der to put off the furlv and importunate
creditor for the present, tells him a Ion?
story, as falfe as it is fad, concerning dif
appointuicnts which he has met with, and
#
0'
also of money that he experts to receive
to-morrow or next day ; he, moreover,
makes him fine promises, which he ex
perts never to perform ; and one lie na
turally draws more after it; for it needs
several more lies, to prop it up and help
it out.
Thus the man loses at once, his cha
racter for veracity and his morals.
Beware of dipping into debt for fuperflui
ties.
A fine horse is a pleasant thing, but he
mav break his leg and be loft ; Therefore
do not purchase him, unless you have
money enough on hand.
Make the old furniture do for the pre
sent, rather than to run into debt for such
as is new and elegant. It is better to turn
the pld coat than to run into debt for a
new one. “ But, fee, there is a hole in
it.” Never mind that; put in a patch.
A patch upon the back or sleeve will luok
and feel better, than to be clapped upon
the back by a (lteriff, or to be led by the
ffeeve to prison.
