Pyrrho, what youth beneath a bow’r, Where paily blooms the roseate llow’r, Now longs to press thee i;i liis arm*, While “uz'ng, raptur’d on thy Charms, Those charms expos’d with fatal art, To win his unexperienc’d heart. How of, will he, unpractis’d youth, in of grais & injur’d truth ; How oft in wildest wander gaze ; On roaring Ocean’s white, capt Vi hicli, by the North wind, mov’d uprise, .As if to comb, t with the skies. While prest within tliv circling arms, He s>ps i|>e nectar of thy charms, Y aii.Jv he hopts that tiiou wilt prove, Forever faithful to his I, ve; Hut beaut mis as droit art he’ll find, i iiat thou art iitkic as the w ind.

AMECDf TE OF Dlt JOHN'S’ H. Din ing the la(t visit which the doctor made to Litchfield, the friends with whom fie was flaying nrVed him one morn ing at the bteakfalt table : or. enquiring after him of the fer v ,nts, they understood he had set off fiotn Litchfield at a very ea*)v hour, without mention ing to anv oLh* family whither fie was going. The day passed without the return of the illui tiions guest, and the party began to be very uneasy on his account, when, just before the (upper hour, the door opened, and the doctor dallied into the room. A solemn si lence of a few minutes enlued, nobody daring to enquire the cause of his absence, which was at length relieved by John fun addrefftng tlie lady oi the heufe in the following manner : Madam, I beg your par don lor the abruptness of my departure from your houfethis mot r ing ; but I was conltrain ed te- it by my con Science. Fifty years ago, madam, on this day, I committed a breach of filial piety, which has ever lince lain heavy on my mind, and has not till this day been expi. ated. Mv father, you recollect, was a bookleiler, and had long been in the habit;,of attending market, and opening a Hail for the fa'e of his books during that day. Confined to his bed by indrfpolition, he re qtiefted me, this lime fifty years ago, to visit the market, and attend the Slall in his place. But, madam, my pride pre vented me from doing rny duty, and I gave my father a refusal. To do away tiie fin or this dis omaience, I this day went in a poll chaise to- ,and go mg into the market at the time oi high bulmess, uncovered my head, aim uood u ith it Dare an hour before the Itah which iny lather had lonnerly ukd, expo ted to the lrieers of die tiandeis by, and the incle mency of the w eather ; a pen ance by which, I trust, I have propitiated Ileaven for lids only infiance, I believe, of contumacy towards my father. ’ Sheriffs Sales. on the. frst Tuesday in. ‘January mxt, at the Court-house in the town of Jefferson, Camden County, between the hours of ten and three o'clock of that day.
