“ Who cm all ftnfe of offim,’ ill* tfcape,

Tat* *3 Jlvenal.
Parent of v : rtue 1 if thine ear
AUt:nl net now to for-.’.v’a cry ;
If r.ow the pit y-ll reaming te3r
< n ,M ...’y f . ti.y cheek be dry,
I,,duV r v. ■ ft-aio, O sweet llu
inanity !
Com:, ever welcome to my bread !
A tender, but a cheerful guelt;
Nor always in the gloomy cell
O life-cor.fuming fovrow tell,
For farrow, long indulg’d, *u<l Hove,
13 to human.ty a foe ;
And grief, that rr,ak* the heart its prey,
Wears ferifibility away :
Then com s fwret nympb, inllead el thee
The gloomy fiend, Stupidly.
O. may tl rt fiend be bamfli’d far,
Though paflion* bold eternal war !
i ever < raff to let nit know,
The pulse that throbs at py or woe ;
Not let toy vacant check be diy,
When fui row fills a brother’s tyc ;
Nor may the tear, that frequent flows,
From private, or from ftnia! wots,
Ivor make this pltafing sense depart :
’l c cut-.., O f.atden not my heart !
1 the fair ftsr of fortune smile,
.1. t not its flittering power begu.le ;
Nor, borne along the fav’ring tide,
I.!y full toils fwtll with a >a*.ng pride.
Net me from wealth but hope content,
Remember Hill it was but kilt ;
To model! merit fj lead my (lore,
Unbar tny hofpitabls door;
Nor feed, with pomp, an idle train,
While wants unpitied pice in vain.
If Heaven, in every purpose wife,
The envied lcit of wealth denies.
If doom’d to drag life’s oainful load
Through poverty’s uneven road,
Aid for the due biead of the day,
1); (lin’d to toil as well as pray ;
To thee, ; ’umanity, Hill tiuc.
I’ll wish the good l cannot do,
And give the wretch that pafles Ly,
A soothing word—a tear-.a hgh.
Howe’er exalted or Jeprell,
I’e ever mine the feeling breall.
From me remove the llagnant mind
Os languid indolence, reclin’d :
The foul that one long sabbath keeps,
A id through the fun’s whole circle (leeps
Dull ptace, that dwells ii Folly’s eye,
And ! If-a'tendar.t vanity.
Auk the foolifh and the vain,
Are llrangors to the sense humane.
O, for that fyntpathetic glow,
Which taught the holy tear to flow !
When the prophetic eye furvey’d,
Sion in future allies laid !
Or, taia'il to i’lcavcn, implore! the bread,
That thoufm U in the delcrt fed !
Or, when the heart o’er friend (hip’s grave
Sigh’d and forgot its power to lave.
O, for that sympathetic glow,
Which taught the holy tear to flow.
It come', it fills my labouring breast,
1 f el my heating heart opprelK
Oli, hear thy lonely widow’s wail!
See her dim eye, her afped pale !
T II aven (lie turns, in deep despair,
lLr infants wonder at her pray’r,
And mingling tears, they know not why,
Liit up tluir little hands and cry.
O, God ! their moving sorrows fee !
Support them, fwcet Humanity !
I.lfe fill’d with grief’s diflrefsful train,
Fe-.-ver elk tht tear humane.

The viclims of ill-fared love 1
Heard you that agonizing throe?
Sure tie s no romantic woe !
The golden day ol joy is o’er,
And now they part to meet no more.
A Hid them, hearts from anguilh free i
Alliil them, Iwcet Humanity !
Parent of virtue, if thine ear
Attend not now to sorrow’s cry ;
If now the pity-dreaming tear
Should liaply on thy cheek be dry,
Indu'ge tny votive drain, O fwcet Hu

WHATEVER may he the
avowed (jfcjffl of a writer for in
truding h;s IpecuLtions upon
th'* attention of the world, the
reui motive by which he is affili
ated to do so, may be found in
that innate passion of rhe heart,
love of appiuule. We need no
evidence more signally evinfive
of tlvs truth, than may be deri
ved from the examples of the
rr.clf enlightened and benevolent
characters, v.ho have tver ente
red the garden of literature to
gaze upon its beauty, or to en-
I-y its fragrance. We fee the
Spectator frequently Tested in a
clo'e room, almost obfeured by
ti e thick volumes of smoke by
which he is surrounded ; and
we hear him introducing lrs own
papers to the aitention of the
company, with feme artful re
mark, calculated to draw forth
individual opinions, relative to
their merit. Such was the art
that Add son himfelf tells us lie
used, in order to alcertain the
popular idea with regard to his
writings. Ihe poet Eawkes,
while he solicits the applaules
of h:s fellow men, pronounces
chat the third of praile gives
birth to the nobleit efforts of
genius.
“ Let inc not pfs without rev\ ard,
4 ‘ For Plvjcbus on each tr metul bard
Some gift beftovfs ; the nobleit ia)S
“Are owing to the th hll of pniife.”
Almost every clicient author
of celebrity has boldly avowed
the anticipation of immortality.
;In ths third eclogue of Virml
from which my present motto is
extracted, this fubjett is copi
ously treated on:—Horace re-’
peureuly descants upon the f.ure
topic, and patticulariy in his
“ E/egi Monutnencum m i
Ovid has confidently proclaim
ed,
“I've now compil’d a work, which nor the
rage
*’ Jove, nor fire, nor (word, nor eating ave
“Is able to deilroy.’*
He defies even the wrath of
Jovr, and Icems pcrfedtly iacis
fic 1 that the latest polterny will
admire his productions, and be
tEiw upon them their panegyric
Sappho, the lovely and harmu-j
nious poetess of Le/bia was not :
deficient in this general lpecies
of literary vanity j for lhe has
not hefitared to iing of herlelf,
“ Honor’ll Sappho's mufe-emhellin.M name,
•• Shull flourilii in eternity of fame.”
The celebrated Roman Ora
tor Tuily exclaimed aloud to
his encirclinij countrymen, “ In
your memories O i Romans let
my glory live ; upon your
tongues let it be dtfplayed ; and
n the justice of your, and poite
nty’s records. Let it gather
lhength from time, and fiourifij
in immortaliry.”—l n e celebra
ted dodor Young appears to
have been fully lenlible of his
predominating paflion. Bufiris
thus speaks,
* That 1 hav * liv’d I le*ve a mark behind
pluck the Alining age from vulgar
time,
“ And give it whole to late poikritv.”
The known va..irv of Gald
irrith cxpoled him often to ridi
cule.
i The decision of mankind,
however, has proven that the
j high dlimation, placed by their
! famous characters upon their in
| telleclual treasures, did not ex
ceed their genuine delert ; and
to this general defr.c of pnile
which pervades the bread of
man mint be attributed char in
defatigable ir.dultry, with which

This anr. : y after immortality,
vv :n it leads to virtuous deeds
jis cert.'inly pregnant with tffeds
feh . oft beneficial kind ; and
i- is often an incitement to the
mr.fi: glorious actions, and to the
rrofi fpleadid atchievments. I*,
encouiagcs genius to persevere
>n its reiearches, and from the
dark and bewildering annals of
ant.quity to extradt, and unfold
the rnofi faiutary truths. It cm’
bcldens valor itfelf in the con
flidfs of warfare ; and gives ten
fold vigor to the nervous arm of
the hero.
But it has sometimes actuated
men to the mod desperate and
dcbafmg aids. At the celebra
ted Oiypic games of Rome, Re
regrious plunged headlong into
a heated furnace that his name
might be handed to posterior a
ges ; and the Temple of Diana
was burnt to the earth by I.ros
tratus, while the detaftabie in
cendiary affigred as his reason
for defiroying it, the anxiety he
felt to be remembered hereafter.
But such actions are viewed
with abhorrence, while the in
flexible virtue of a Cato is con
templated with admiration, and
the labors of a Horace perused
with delight. Then let the fos
tering arm of Lge experience,
kinclv direct adventuring genius
! in its firfi elfays to reach che sane
’of the enchanting goddess. Lei
