TO CLARA.
With thrilling voice and speak
>ng <we,
“ J’ll be your friend,” did Clara
crv.
Heard I ? or did some wistful muse
The inlets of my sold abuse ?
No witchingiireain did Fancy semi
f Ttvas Clara said, “ Til be your
friend.”
Is thine the generous breast
that knows
What rights the name of friend
bestows ?
What l must ask, and she demand.
That holds me by that sacred
band ?
Ah ! more, than thy o’er-cauti
ous heart
Will e’er to wretch like me iro
part,
Though naught her tenderest les
sons teach
('■in go b> yond ti y dues, or reach :
Though ail 1 hold by gift divine,
Whene’er thou wifi’at to lake i.s
thine.

A SKETCH.
NOW tn the west fast sinks the
orb of light,
While o’er all nature fall the
shades of ni|>ht.
From the green fields retire the
grazing train,
And from his labour hastes the
weary swain ;
No more their strains the aerial
songsters sing,
No i*.ora with various sounds the
vallics ring,
Along the ground extends the
, lengthened shades,
And scarce a sound the list’ning
ear invades ;
A pleasing calmness oe’r all na
ture reign;,
While night descends upon the
fading plains ;
The winds are hushed, and scarce
the gentle p ale
On wings etherial fans the silent
vale,
Scarce curls the polish’d surface of
Whicfi “glittm- fair Luna’s
silver beams.
I love to watch the suit’s last part
ing ray,
\\ hen ev’nmg closes on declining
day ;
‘i lie pensive calm that penetrates
tite soul,
Hushes the passions by its mild
controul,
A'l angry thoughts, and rude de
sires destroys,
And pure delight inspires, and
blameless joj s.

TO A LADY, COMPLAINING OF
SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.
lhj Mr. Moore.
I’LL ask the sylph who round
iliee flies,
And in thy breath his pinion
dips,
Who sum. him in thy lucent eves,
And faints upon thy sighing lips.
11l ask him where’s the veil of sleep
That used to shade thy looks of
;
And why those eyes their vigil
keep,
When other suns are sunk in
And I will say, Her angel breast
Hus never titrobb’d with guilty
stmg ;
Her bosom is the sweetest nest
Where slumber could repose
ins wing !
And I will say, Her checks of
flume,
Winch glow like, roses in the
sun,
Have never felt a blush of shame,
Except lor what tier eyes have
done !
Then tell mu why thou chiid of
air!
Does slumber from her eyelids
rove ?
What is her heart’s impassion’d
care >
Perhaps, O sylph ! perhaps ’tis

NATURE OF VIRTUF.
The celebrated Jonathan
Edwards wrote a profound
treadle on tlie nature of true
virtue. The following anec
dote from Joinviile, the hillo
rian, of the last great expedi.
tion of the French to Syria and
Egypt, beforethat of the pre
sent imperator Gallorum, will
show that the lame lentiment
and duflrine may occur to the
molt dillitr.ilar minds and in
the molt oppolite situations.
Join viile says, “ Friar Yves,
of i'rittany, being (killed in the
language of the Saracens, was
employed as interpreter be
tween St. Louis and the am.
bafladors from the king of
Daroafcus. St. Louis was then
in Acre, and the ambalfadors
had come there to treat with
him. The friar, tn palling be
tween the king’s lodging and
that of the ambalfadors, was
one day encountered in the
(treels by a very aged woman
having in her right hand a pot
of burning coals, and in her lclt
a pitcher of water, ‘ Woman,’
laid father Yves, ‘ what ait
thou about to do with these live
coals in thine hand ?’ 1 lo
burn paradile,’ anlwered she.
‘And what with the water?
‘To extinguish the flames ol
hell.’ Friar Yves then alLed,
how flie could talk so ? Her
rep ! y was, ‘ That no perlon
may do good in this world, to
obtain a reward in paradise ;
and that none may refrain from
lin, lor fear of the torments of
hell; but that we may all do
good, out of pure love lo God,
our creator Sc Supreme good!’
Friar Yves, astonished at the
woman’s wifdoni, palled on
without reply.”
nri. ihiu 111 Uic
blank page of Edwards’ trea
tile, and whether we conlider it
as a real incident, or meicly as
an apologue, and the lalt is
moll probable, whether the old
woman of Acre or the old wo
man joinviile, was the advo
cate of this dofctrine, it is a re
ntal kable coincidence between
the great metaphylician and
divine, and a hero of the c.u
lades, which were, undertaken
for theexprefs purpose of re
deeming the fouls of the adven
turers from thcpunifhment due
to their crimes in a future
world.
AFFECTATION.
From afletlation only can
the misfortunes, the calamities
ol life, or the imperfections of
nature, become lidiculous-
Surclv he has a very ill Famed
mind who-can look on ugli
ness, infirmity, or poverty as
ridiculous in them (elves ; nor
do I believe any person living,
who meets a duty fellow riding
through the it reels in a cart is
11 ruck with an idea of the rid
iculous from it; but if he
fhouid (ee the fame figure de
icend iiom his coach and lix,
or bolt from ids chair w ith his
hat under his arm, he would
then begin to laugh, and with
ju it ice. In the lame manner
were we to enter into a poor
lioule, and behold a wretched
Emily lhivering with cold, and
languilhing with hunger, it
would not incline us to laugh
ter, at lealt we mult have very
diabolical natuies if it could.
But fhouid we dlfcover there,
a grate, initead of coals, adorn
ed with flowers, empty plate
or china dishes on the fide,
board, or any other affectation
of riches and finery, either or<
their persons or in their furni
ture, we might then, indeed, be
excused for ridiculing so fan
taflic an appearance. Much
less are natural imperfefctions
the objefts of derision : but
when uglirels aims at the ap.
plause of beauty, or Lmencfs
endeavours to d.fpiay agility,
it is there that these unfortunate
circumflances, which at firfl
moved our companion, tend
only to raise our mirth.
“ None are for being what they
are in fault,
But for not being what they would
be thought.”
