Why am J not the gentle breeze That Joftly gliding o’er her face, h Jure my charming fair to pleaje , And to her color adds Jiuh gr ace. Why am I not the plaintive bird, Whoje Jong affords herJucb delight; ‘lhat white ha thrilling notes is heard She thinks not of approaching night . Why am I not the limpid wave, In which each cheerful Jummer day $ Her lovely form jhe wont to lave , .And like a Jportive Naiad play. THE FAIR SEX. The benevolent Author of the Uni verje cc>fulling only the bdppinefs of his creatures, has appointed a varie ty of means to promote the sweet union of love.

Pity, the attribute cf angels, and ft iendjhip, the balm cf life, a slight to dwell in the female breast. How for Em, what a savage creature would man be without bln hum.adzing offices of the gentleJex. No w much ere the manners sos ened by the delicate passion of love P Is it net the hair of jell of his c.jfetiions that he d nates all the elegant embellijhhig graces ? Does he not imitate her po lifted man net s, and acquire, as it were byfymp at by, her tender and de licate fniiments ? /ij ter the endear - Eg union of their loves and interefs, where mutual confidence has removed even- ( i prehen ft on, what are the plea fires which he may enjoy !
