Oj Z> £,
On the Eftabtijhntent of the Conflitution, and
the EleJion of CEOPvGE our Prejident.
€l OD of our fathers ! need we trace
VJT The nis’riea of a former race,
To learn true eoaduci from recorded woes ?
But now our errors and our crimes,
Drew down thy judgments on the times:
Black o’ef our heads a temped rose.
Soon al! the Heavens were.on a flame,
Pointing to blast our peace and fame :
But, oh ! thy mercy turn’d the dorm aside,
Deign’d to becalm the raging seas,
Deign’d to diffufe the swelling breeze,
And to the port of peace our veflel guide.—
Our pilot fac’d thro’ such a wat’ry war,
Sits at the helm, and points to Hope’s bright
Bar;
And, God his guide, he bids us boldly go,
Whatever rocks oppose, whatever tempests
blow.”

yINECDOTE.
A YOUNG Frenchman, who had the
promise of the fird vacant place from a
pc; ton high in office, finding his protestor ra
ther fi««w in tire execution, fuceeeded beyond
Jus molt languine expectations by the follow
ing manoeuvre : He drew up a petition, and
had the fortune to deliver it *the fame day.
The person in office deigned, to read it; and
finding both the? diftion and the'writing ele
gant, he allied the young man who was the
author of it? “ lam, Sir, (replied the lat
ter, with a fubnliflivfe bow) and thinking
that yob might perhaps prefer poetry to prose,
I have put the petition into verse.” At these
wot ds the patron’s br ow began to clear up—
“ Let me fee them,” laid he ; and after hav
ing perused them, heteflified his approbation
hi the warmed terms, and allured the candi
date for liis favor, that he fhiould not think the
verb location unworthy of his onvn pen! The
young man then told him that he had also set
the verles to aiulic : “ That is so lingular
(exclaimed the peifon in office) that I mud
fee ir.” “ I ihall go dill farther (continued
the young man), if you order me a violin I
shall play it.” The proposal was accepted,
and the petformance pronounced excellent
“ That is not all, Sir, (said the young
Frenchman), if you give vouifelf the trou
ble of taking the violin, (for I know you are
a great lnulician) I dull also dance the peti
tion.” That appeared so strange to the patron,
that he played the petition whillt the other
dauced it; all which so charmed him, that he'
immediately made the young man his private
secretary. g
