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 A 13EE, HAVING STUKG_ THE THIGH OT AN OLD MAID. 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. —iwi— mjuwa—wwttw-Miinaij i—iiw r ADVERTISEMENT EXTRA.
