MINDS MUST BE CULTIVATED.
HE All, ye fair mothers of our land,
Nor scorn your wiser God’s command.
What tho’ my thoughts be somewhat new,
I’ll warrant that my doctrine’s true ;
Or if my sentiments be old,
Remember, Truth is sterling gold.
You judge it of important weight,
To keep your rising offspring straight:
For tins such anxious moments feel,
And ask the friendly aid of Steel;
For this import the distant Cane,
Or slay the Monarch of the Main.
And shall the Soul be warp’d aside,
By passion, prejudice, and pride ?
Deformity of heart I call
The worst deformity of all.
Your cares to body are confin’d;
Few fear obliquity of mind.
Why not adorn the better part ?
This is a nobler theme for art!
For what is form, or what is face,
3ul the Soul's index, or its case 1
Now take a simile at hand;
Compare the mental soil to land.
Shall fields be till’d with annual care,
And minds lie fallow ev’ry year?
O since the crop depends on you,
Give them the culture which is due :
Hoe every weed and dress the soil;
So harvest shall repay your toil.
If human minds resemble trees,
(As ec’ry Moralist agrees,)
Prune all the stragglers of your Vine,
Then shall the purple clusters shine.
The Gard’ner knows, that fruitful life
Demands his salutary knife;
For ev’ry wild luxuriant shoot,
Or robs the bloom, or staives the fruit.
Co r i on.
The following lines were addressed by a young
gentleman to his sister, on her breaking a
drinking glass.
SEE Sister in this shatter’d glass,
The fate of many a pretty lass,
Women like glass, are frail and weak,
Are apt to slip and apt to break,
Both break to pieces in once falling,
Forever lost and past recalling,
Therefore guide every step with caution,
For just like glass is reputation.

ON the annals of fame with Columbus you
stand, •
Who sought the American shore;
Advent’rous like him, you explore a new land,
Where none ever travell’d before.
The following whimsical Anecdote is re
lated of Duct. Young , Author cf JYight
Thoughts :—
THIS eminent writer and amiable
man was remarkable for the urbanity
of his manners and cheerfulness of his
temper, prior to a most remarkable
family contingency, which threw a
shade over the subsequent part of his
life. He was once on a party of plea
sure t® Vauxhall, and-he amused them
with a tune on the flute. Two officers
were also in a barge, rowing for the
same place, and soon came alongside
the boat where the Doctor and the In
dies were.
i'he Doctor, who was not very c*pn
ceited of his playing put up his llute up
on their approach. One of them in
stantly asked why lie ceased playing,
or put the flute in his pocket. “ For
the same reason,” said he, “ that I took
itoui ; to please myself.” The son of
Mars very peremptorily rejoined, that
if he did not immediately take it out
and continue his music he would in
stantly throw kim into the Thames
The Doctor, in order to allay the ladies
pocketed the insult with the best grace
he could, and continued his tune all the
way up the river.—During the evening,
liowevc-r, lie observed the officer who
acted thus cavalierly, by himself, in cue
of tht' walks, and making up to him
with great coolness, “ it was, Sir, to
avoid interrupting the harmony either
of my company or yours, that I com
plied with your arrogant demand. But
that you may be satisfied that courage
may lie found under a black as well as
a red coat, I expect, you will meet me
to-morrow at a certain place, without
any second, the quarrel being entirely
en.tre nous.” The Doctor further cove
nanted in a very peremptory manner,
that the business should be altogether
settled with swords. To all these con-1
•ditions the officer implicitly consented.
. The duellists met the next morning |
at the time and place appointed; but i
the moment the officer took bis ground
the Doctor presented a large pistol to
his head. “ What,” said the officer,
“ do you intend to assassinate me r”
“ No,” said the Doctor, “ but you shall
this instant put up your sword and dance
a minuet, otherwise you are a dead
man.” Some short altercation ensued,
but tiie Doctor appeared so furious and
determined, the officer could not help
complying. “ Now, Sir,” said the Doc
tor, “ you forced me to play yesterday
against my will, and 1 have obliged you
to dance against yours; w« are now
on an equal footing, and whatever oth
er satisfaction you desire I am ready
to give.
The officer forthwith embraced the
Doct. acknowledged his impertinence,
and begged that they might for the fu
! lure live on terms of the sincerest friend
; ship, which they did ever after.
