POETICAL SELECTIONS.
THE AFFECTIONATE HEART.
Let the great man, his treasures possessing,
Pomp and splendor for c-ver attend :
I prize not the shadowy ble^ing,
1 ask—the affectionate friend.
4|
Tho’ foibles may sometimes o’ertakc him,
H s footstep from wisdom depart ;
Yet, my spirit shall never forsake him,
If he own the affectionate heart.
Affection ! thou soother of care,
Without thee unfriended we rove;
Thou canst make e’en the desert look fair,
And thy voice is the voice of the dove.
Mid the anguish that preys on the breast,
And the storms of mortality’s state ;
What shall lull the afflicted to rest,
But the joys that on sympathy wait ?
What is fame, bidding Envy defiance,
The idol and bane of mankind,
What is wit, what it learning, or science,
To the heart that lb stedfast and kind ?
Even genius may weary the sight,
By too fierce and too constant a blaze;
But affection, mild planet of night!
Grows 1 nlier the longer we gaze.
it shall thrive when the flattering forms,
That encircle creation decay ;
It shall live mid the wide-wasting storms,
That bear all undistinguish’d away.
When time, at the en(Lpf his race,
Shall expire with expiring mankind;
It shall stand on its permanent base;
It shall last uil the wreck of the mind.
THE OLD MAlD’id APOLOG Y.
I determin’d the moment ] left off my bib,
I would never become any man’s crooked rib,
And think you to fright me, when gravely
you tell
That Old Maids will surely lead apes when
in hell !
I’ll take the reversion, and grant ’tw ill be so
But yet l shall keep to my vow.
For I’d rather lead apes in the regions below,
Than be led by a foolish ape now.
PRAYER FOR ThURBAND.
FROM a profane libertine, from one
affectedly pious, from a profuse almon
er, from an uncharitable wretch, from
a wavering religioso and injudicious
zealot—deliver fntf i
From one of starched gravity, or ri
diculous levity* Trom an ambitious
statesman, from a restless projector,
from one that loves any tiling besides
me but what is very just and honora
ble—deliver me !
•• From an extasied poet, a modern
wit, a base coward, a rash fool—deliv
er me 1
From a Venus-darling, from a Bac
chus-proselytc, from a travelling half
bred, fiom all othsr masculine affecta
tions, not yet recounted —deliver me!—
Bin. give me one whose love has more
t>f judgment than pafcsion, who is mas

eqo il flame, a paralleled inclination, a
temper and sfrnl so like mine, that, as

fect by union.—(dive me one of,as gen

fortune, independent of the servile le
vees ol'«fhe gr.eaTvptid yet one whose re-
is not so much from the pub
ijJOn as in.to himself; One, if possible,
rabove flattery and affronts, and yet us
Careful in preventing an .injury as ca
pable to repair it; One, the beauty of
whose mind exceeds that of his face,
yet not that deformed so as to be dis
tinguishable from others by its ugliness.
Give tne one that has learpecl to live,
much in a little time ; One that is no
great familiar in converse with the
world, nor no little one with himself;
One (if two sucli happiness may be
granted at one time to our sex) who
with these endowments may have an
easy honest disposition :—Who by his
practice , as well as principles, has marie
liimstlf so, let him be truly virtuous
and pious, arid me be truly happy in
my choice.

there were heats, although he ran a
gainst tne best horses of his day, which
performances may be seen in the rac
ing calendars that are with him, toge
ther with the general studbook, which
shews the Llood of all horses bred in
England, up to 1803 ; they also con
tain the season prices of the noted hor
ses, and Whip stood three guineas high
er than the noted Diomed and others.
WHIP will stand the whole of his

WHIP is a beautiful mohoganybay*
of great size and strength, being fifteen
hands, three inches and three quarters
high. Let it suffice to say, it is gen
erally thought by all that have seen
him, his equal for beauty has been sel
dom if ever seen in America; he fasci
nates, in spite of prejudice, every be
holder that moment he is brought into
view ; nothing cun excel him in move
ment, action and gaiety, as the strictest
observer has not been able to discover
a single defect in him.
W HIP was got by Saltram; 'bis dam

Saltram was formerly the prope ty of
his royal highness the prince of VI ales,
who purchased him from lord Bofring
ton at 2500 guineas, was be
the best runner of his time; lie won
several large stakes, amongst which
was the Derby, 1783, beating Duhgan

He is the sire of Whisky, who won at

line, Tuffany, Laurustina, St. David,

Rose, Sweeper, Clytus, Cole-merchant,
Pick-pocket, and a number of others, all
first rale runners; also of Carolina who
challenged lionize!, the best son of Di
omed, winch was not accepted. \\ hip
was \he favorite for the Derby in 1797,
and no doubt would have won it, had he
been well enough to have started; he
was found to have so much speed as to
be able to give many colts, of thi same
year, from twenty to thirty poilids—
The first time he started he won the
sweepstake of 20 guineas each at As
cot, lor three year olds, and afterwards
the three year old plute at Reading; at
four years old he won the four year old
plate at Ascot, a plate at Brighton, bcat
ingCombatant,who won the sweepstake

Y\ hip ran the week bclore for tlie cup

Joiincy and Oatlands, and was suppost
ed to be winning easy, when he |j|i ou,
of the course ; also won the sweepstake
at Canterberrv, which was the last time
he started. At four years old Whip
gave Coiner 21 pounds and beat him
easy in his trial. We have certificates
from gentlemen who have bred from
the best horses in Virginia, and that
Whip’s far excel any they ever had.
