St. PATRICK iu AMERICA.
A SONG, for St. Patrick's Day.
haft Patrick's Day 'was ns dark
as the night,
For the Sun never Jhin'd cn Hi
bernia's tod
Brother John grin d a [mile to
beheld the fad fight,
When Erin go Bragh went in
mourning.
The Harpy the Shamrock, and
Shillaly
I Fere ft cl on away—with the
wreath and the rod,
Poor Sheldh kept tugging,
IFhilft John Bull kept hugging
Per her butter and beef, like a
coward and thief,
With his blood■ hounds of war, the
outcafts from God,
IF ho hang, burn and deftroy
Man, woman and boy —
On Patrick's Day in the Morn
mg.
Oh ! St. Patrick, where were
you on that great occaficn ?
*—7cu that us'd to drive Reptiles
away from the land ;
Hr rah why did you fuffer the Bri
ll ft j invafion ?
Üby were they not drown'd in
returning h—
if as it they that broke your
p aft oral crook,
And fnatch'd all the power from
your Holy Wand ?
Or have you been hanijh'd.
Since Ireland has vaniftj'd ?
In America lift, then, and give
us your fift,
For this is the country for which
we will ftand ;
And fiercely eppofe
hither traitors or foes,
Every Patrick's Day in the Adorn
ing>
And now my dear friends, fimee
our Saint has come over,
To fee how we lock round our jolly
full bowls :
Pet us welcome him here, where
we all live in clover,
The malice of Kings everfcorning.
With peace and health ft ill frai
ling around us.
And plenty to cheriftj cur ge
nus fouls —
New we all plainly fee
That America's tree —-
Republicans true fir.
As ever you knew fir.
From Ohio's Banks to where old
Ocean rolls ;
Then to JEFFERSON fill
Our glaffes we'll fill.
Every Patrick's Day, Night and
Morning.

I hat will kilt any preacher, and
adapted to any audience, at
cuiy time, and in any place.
Man is born to trouble, as the
/parks fiy upward. —J 08 .
1 Brethren, I (hall divide my
clifccurfe into, and confider it
under, the three following heads.
i ft. Man’s ingrefs into the
world.
2tl. His pregrefs through the
world.
And, thirdly and Jaftiy, his
egrefs out of the world.
ift. Man’s ingrefs into the
world is naked and hare,
2d. His progrefs through the
world is trouble and care.
And, third-y and laftly, his
egrefs out of the world is—no
body knows where. 1
To conclude—lf we do well
here, we fhall do well there.
I can tell you no more, if I
preach a whole year.
To the Believers in Divine reve
lation.
The following teftimony from
fir William Jones, in favor of
the Holy Scriptures, cannot but
be highly acceptable, as well as
interetting : and it would be
acknowledged by every chrifti
an as fubfervient to the honor
of God’s holy word, if our
news-paper printers, through
out the United States would give
it a place in their publica
tions.
<f This learned man after pof
fefting himfelf of all that the fa
ges and philofophers of all times
iiave raid and thought upon the
works of nature, wrote the fol
lowing note at the end of his bi
ble : “I have regularly and at
tentively read thefe holy ferip
tures, and am of opinion that
this volume, independently of
its divide origin, contains more
true fublimity, more exquifite
beauty, more pure morality,
more important hiftory, and fin
er drains both of poetry and e
loquence, than can be colleCled
from all other books, in whate
ver age or language they may
have been compolecl. The two
parts of which the feripturcs
con fift, are conncfted byachain
of compofitions which bear no
refemblancc in form or ftyle, to
any that can be produced from
the ftores of Grecian, Percian,
or even Arabian learning; the
antiquity of thefe compofitions
no man doubts ; and the tinref
trained application of them to e
vents longfubfequent to their pub
lication, is a folid ground of be
lief that they are genuine pro
ductions, and confequently in
rp ire d.”

Undent, confcious that nothing
ailed him, anfwcred with a yawn,
Yes—-yes, fir—it left me but

for it is but three minutes ago
that I met it going down fcairs !
