JN/UIVE LAND.
BREATHES there a man with sod so dead
Who never Id himself hath said,
this is my most, my native land ?
Whose heart has nc er within him turn'd,
As home his footsteps he hath turn'd,
From wand'ring on a foreign strand ?
if such there hr cat he, go, marl him well s
For him no minstrel raptures swell,
/high though his titles, proud ms name,
Soundless his wealth, as wish can claim,
Despise those titles, power and pdf, i
The wretch concenter'd all in self, i
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, double dying, shall go down,
2 So the vile dust from whence h: sprung, !
Unfitted, unhonor'd, and unsung !
EXTRACT FROM BLAIR.
The self denials of Vice, greater than those of
7 ‘ Finns.
TROUGH'no condition of httenn ate is
£te? from uneasiness, yet-it must he allowed; that ‘
the uneasiness belonging to a filiful course, ;s tar !
gnater than what attends a course of well-do- |
jnjr. If we a.e weary of the labors of virtue, j
%sl‘ may be assured that the world, whenever we j
try the’ exchange, will lay upon us a tv uch hea-
load. It is the outfi.de, outy, of a uccnlvous
life, which is gay and-finding. Witnin i- con
ceals toil, and trouble, and deadly sorrow. For
vice pollens human Huppuiefs in the ipring, oy
introducing difordcr into heart. i ho.a
ruffians which it feerns to indulge, .t iceos
V'ith imperfect gratifications ; and thereby
It lengthens them for preying in the end, cn
their, unhappy viAims.
t: It is a great mifcaka to imagine, that the
pain of fclf-denisj is confined to He
who follows the world ss snucli as ne wio foI~
lows Christ, mull “ taae up h.s cross, and
to him afluredly, it will prove a more oppressive
turden. Vice allows all our paffion3 to reign j
uncontrolled ; and where ear n cla'ius to .e su
perior, it is impofiible to gratify all. the pre
dominant tie fire can only be indulged at the ex
pense of its rival, No mortifications widen vir
tue exacts aie more Lsrcre than which
ambition imposes upon the love or case, price up
on intcrcil, and cbvctoufnefs upon vanity.
Self-denial, therefore, belongs, in common, to
vice and virtue ; but with this remarkable differ- |
ence, that the passions which virture requires us
to mortify it tends to weaken ; whereas, those j
which vice obliges us to deny* it at the fame j
time strengthens. The cnc diminishes toe pain j
of felf-denial, by moderating the demand of pas- j
fion; the other increases. it by rendering-those
demands iinocriotis and violent. Y hat diftrefl
s, that occur in the calm life of virtue, can be
compared to those tortures, which remerfe of
confcier.ce infiidb on the wicked; to those se
vere humiliations arising from guilt combined
with misfortune, which fink them to the cull t ;
to those violent agitations of shame and an ap
pointment, which foraetimes drives them to the ;
mod fatal extremities arid make them abhor
their exigence J How often in the midlt o
those difafteroua fuuations, into which their
crimes have brought them, have tuny execrated
the fedu£Uon3 of vice ; artd with bitter regret,
looked back to the day in which they art. fco>

ON this important fubjc£l many books
have been written, which, though
excellent in other refpe&s, have yet great
ly failed of their ufefulnefs ;o Americans,
becaufethey treat of diseases which, exifl-.
irtg in very different climates and consti

The bock row citered to the public has,
therefore, the great advantage ol having
been written by a native American oi long
and fuccessfui prrfiltce in these Southern

much of his attention to this very interefl
