A FRAGMENT.
Mt frinl dwell thru fotgive the Par

A tribute nature pay* to frlendfbip dear.

And beauty painted nn hi* cheek the rose
A seraph, ftray’d from yonetherial Sue-,
Too soon hi* heav’ttly spirit homeward hies
Th<.rt dwell hi* parent*, generous, kind and
free,
Too good, too wife, toeenfure heaven’* de.
cree.
They bend, in silent grief, in pious trust
The power that chafleneth, is fttll mod just.
Hurt hit lov'd filter, on whole beauteous face
Sits finding health and ev'ry blooming grace <
May that fair bosom never heave with lighs
Or pain* diftreln'd—or glillen thole foft
eyes
With tears, but those humanity and love
Draw from the angel’* eyrtiu worlds above.
Young brothers, bearing in their features too
Fatr.ful remembrance* so oft to view.
O listen. Providence, to this my prayer,
That when, at length, death end* this feene
of care,
With them and H***, I happinef* may

‘t'HE BAUD OF FWGAL, OR CURSE
OF SEDUCTION.
A FRAGMENT.
Cheer up my daughter ! hope
less though thou art, never was
the aid of thtfe aged arms de
nied to the children of loirow.
I know that thou art faint and
wen y, as the heart ft icken by
the hunter, as the wounded
chief in the day of battle ; and
when thou failed, no (tone shall
point out thy bed.—but cheer up
my daughter.—Yet a little lon
ger, cheer up thy (Length, Oh
wanderer of night —near is the
dwelling of the deceitful Crad
mor, Oh yellow haired daughter
of Morva.—Tell me not, thy
eyes shall behold him no more;
lay not that they are dim alrea
dy,—that the (hades of the
xnounrain beckon thee away ;
for the heart of the Bard of Fin
gal even now bleeds for rhec 1
Alas 1 thou art hastening to the
land of darknels : but when the
harp founds in the hall of Crad
more, he too shall have a sigh
for the wretched course of die
daughter of Morva!—Open thy
gates, thou dtftroyer of peace !
fpcak comfort to the heart which
thy cruelty has broken, —blcfs
her with a lrmle, thou bane of
virtue.—Alas ! he comes not—
drowned in the mirth of longs,
and slushed with the wine of joy,
he hears not the expiring groan
ot the daughter of Morva—cold
blows the wmd through the win
try thorn,—but he hears it not;
ruihlefs is the temprft that beats
the head of the daughter ofMor
va—but he feels it not—though
now he be at peace nor think of
thee, yet venomous as the fer
peni’s fang shall his confidence
be ; and the wild fowl of the
cliff lhalllhriek out his destiny.
The gale of the evening lhall
bear thy sighs to him as he re
turned from the chafe—the
wind of the delert lhall howl to
him the name of Morva.—ln
the visions of the night he lhall
lee thee—the cricket (hall whis
per of Morva.-—ln the field of
battle, nervelcts lhall his arm be ;
powerleis as the lhadows on the
hill —the cataract from the
mountain lhall tell of thee ; and
the leaves of the sorest lhall
make him afraid.—He lhall cali
on the injured fair one, but Ihr
will not hear—he lhall invoke
a blcffing ho,n the yellow haired
daughter ot Morva—but the
wind lhall leaner his prayers like
the down ot the thiltle, and fwift
as the bolt of heaven lhall be his
delpair.
THE FORCED STORY.
Lord Kelly was, like his pro
totype F alltuff, “ not only witty
himlelf, but the cause ol wit in
other men.” Mr. Andrew
Balfour, the Scottilh advocate,
a man of coniiderable
accompanied by great formality
of manners, happened to be one
of a convival party when his
lordlhip was at the head of the
rable. Afcer dinner he was as
ked to sing, but absolutely re
fufed to comply with the prts
fing folicitarion of the company.
At length lord Kelly rold him
’hat he Ihould not escape; he
must either sing a long, tell a
story, or drink a pint bumper.
Mr. Balfour, bring an abste
mious man, chose rather to tell
a story, than incur rhe forfeit.
“ One day, (said he, in a
pompous manner) a thief, in
the course of his rounds, saw the
door of a church invitingly o
pen. He walked in, thinking
that even tbert, he might lay
hold of something. Having
Iccured the pulpit cloth, he was
retreating, when lo J he found
the door (hut. After fume con
sideration, he adopted the only
mean of escape left, namely, to
let himfelf down by the bell
rope. The bell of course rang,
the people were alarmed, and the
thief taken, jult as he reached
the ground. When they were
dragging him away, he looked
up, and emphatically addressing
the bell, as 1 now address your
lordship, “ Hau it not been,”
said he, c ‘ for your lon £ tongue
and empty bead, 1 had made my
escape /”
HUMOROUS .
Affair of honor. Some weeks
since, two hair dreflers having
quarrelled in a public house, re
tired to fight it out. The one
was a tail lank man ; the other
short, thick, and plethoric. Af
ter a tew rounds the combatant
whole rotund ry unfitted him for
works ol (.siting prowess, jult
found breath to whilper lonh
“I’ll fight no more.”—l he o
cher anxiously catching the half
formed founds, alked, “What
does he lay?” “ Say,” cried
one of the seconds, “ why he
lays he’ll fight another hour.*’
I he devil he does,” returned the
other, then I’ll fight no long
er>” Fatty was accordingly de
clared vilior, and led from the
field in triumph.
ON THE EMPLOYMENT OF TIME.
TIME is never more mts
pent, than when we declaim a
gainlt the want of it ; all our
a&ions are then tinflured with
peevilhnefs. When we have
deducted ail that is ablorbed in
lleep, all that is inevitably ap
propriated to the dem ands of na
ture, or irrcfiltibly cngrolled by
tnc tyranny of customs ; all
chac is palled in regulating the
lupetlicial decorations of life, or
is given up to the reciprocation
of uvility to rhe dilpoi.il of o
chers ; all that is torn from us
by the violence of dileafe, or lto-
Icn imperceptibly away by laffi
iude and langor ; we lhall find
chat part of our duration very
lmall, of which weean truly call
ourlclves mailers or which we
can lpend wholly at ®ur own
choice. Many of our hours are
•oil in a rotation ot petty cares,
in a constant recurrence of the
lame employment’s; many of
our provisions for case, or happi
neis, arc always exhaulted by the
day ; and a great part
of our exiltence serves no other
purpose, than tnac of enabling
us to enjoy the rest.
Jealousy not only fours the
temper, but oblcures the under
llanding ; and, like many other
violent human efforts, generally
produces the very evil it is on
the watch to prevent.
Remark.. Some persons who
have great estates left them,
breakfall in plenty, dine in po
verty, and sup in infamy.
