244 iftTuta From, the Farmer’s Weekly Museum. Phelim O’Bluff’s EPISTLE toM'/sßzttt Broadface. DEAR Bet, if your face were as broad as a platter, Your nose full as flat as a pancake, or flatter : Your bulk like a hogshead, your shape like a churn, I’d have you, for ‘better to marrythanburn.’ I have a small cot, by the fide of yon hill, Some acres of land, just Efficient to till, Am this fide of forty, am cleaver and hearty. Attach’d to no fide, and a friend to no party. My height is fix feet and” two inches exaft, I’m stout in proportion, of Jrilh extract. Totell you the truth, though I’m not apt to brag, In boxing, no Yankee can /land me a fag. Altho* I’m not handfotde 1 am well enough, I'll pare clofc my nails, and my whilkers so rough, I'll mount my Dutch horse and a courting I’ll go. By St. Patrick, I'll have you, Bet, zokether or no: I’ve no inclination to chide your complaining, For who is more wretched than maid that is waning? But bamfb your sorrow, be gay as a lark, For Betty, you’ll find me a pretty good spark, To Cortgrefs ne’er hie, with petition aforefaid, In tone of dcfpondcncy. pray not a word more said ; For if our endeavours fiiould chance to prove lucky, We'll (end out a colony, weft of Kentucky, Half Yankee, half Irish, our own fabrication ; And do what wc can tef increase population. lor the COLUMBIAN MUSEUM. A MORAL TALE. THE variety offitnations into which tve arc all occasionally thrown, whether our fpherc in life be splendid or obfeure, calls lotidly for the constant exertion of every virtue ; and there are few, if any, who in the time ofadvcrlity summon rea son and reftetftiofl to their aid, that do not, however great their misfortunes, expe rience the cheering condolence of an in vifiblegood monitor. By atling up to the didates of an untainted conlcience, we may welcome calamity with a smile, and serenely view the ineffedaal attacks of malevolence ; whose loathforne darts, unable to penetrate the virtuous bolom, dired their disappointed force againlt a less powerful adversary : but it is dif ficult to repel those evils which origi nate from the impurity of our hearts, that being the fourcc of their exigence. The only hope is, that this circmnftancc, instead of precipitating the unhappy vic tim to perdition, may remind him of the pre-eminence of virtue, once nearer his teach; and Simulate him gradually to labour for the attainment of its delight ful and advantageous summit. Virtue has undoubtedly sometimes received temptations, almost too powerful : But how confpicuouflv do we often fee it re warded by the timely hi ter vent ion of Providence ! and with what additional luftre—with what divine refulgence, does it on such occasions shine upon the foul, adding new charms to its original brightness, and letting every officious innovation at defiance ! To record the ignominious fate of vice, is certainly laudable ; but to paint the di ft relies of misguided innocence and its splendid re ward for the preservation of its bright est gem thrdbgh the unbounded path of temptation, cannot fail of Reminding the wanderer, that— Vice is a monster of such frightful mein, * As, to be hated, needs but to be feen.’ Pope.
