Now’s the day, and now’s the

See the front of battle lour,

Who would be a traitor —knave,
Who would fill a coward’s grave,
Who so base as be a slave r

Whom can empty throats appal ?

Freemen stand, or Freemen tail !

American Poet.
The morn tvas fresh and pure the
gale,
When Alary from her cot a
lover,
Pluck’d many a wi!d-rosc from
the v ale,
J o hind the temples of her
lover.
Asneai nerlittlefarm she stray’d,
Where birds of love were ever
paiiing,
She saw her William in the shade,
The arms ot iuthless war pi e.
paring-
She Seiz'd his hand, and a’ ! she
cried,
Wilt thou to camps and war
a stranger,
Desert thy f.iithfnl Mart ’s Tie,
And bate tilv Uic to every clan*
g,i?
Yet go, hr aye youth! to arms a-
My m. idea 1 anus for fig't shall
tirwk*
And when the drum I>eats far a* ;
•••ay?
I’ll drop a silent tear and bless
thetl
-
The bugles through the forest I
wind
The gallant soldiers call to bat- ;

> And guard thy life tvhea can- j

! Among the many mifappli
! cations of time, that of novel
! reading .appeal sto be one. As
! the ladies in general, are the
j molf II remious advocates of this
I am-ufoment it becomes ehenti

j evil confequer.ccs, which natu
rally ensue, and then.place be-
I fore them a more honorable,
| {olid and entertaining employ,
merit, which not only improves
arid refines the understanding,
but affords real and fatisfa&o
ry pleasure.
The frequent hours of lei
fine which are attendant upon
ladies, ought to* he devoted to
a proper and rational use. The
continued attention which has
hitherto been paid to the pern
fa! of novels, has been a great
detriment to the acquisition of
! more valuable accorrtpiifn
mtnts. The mind which
ought to be continually
ft lengthening, and acquiring
firm ideas, is rendered imbe
cile, and fluduating, by cort
ftautly reading these airy pban
i toms of delusion. Our ideas
accompany the story through
the elevated raptures of pas
lion, through the utmost
flights of fancy, and then a
| gam descend into the gloomy
j depths of horror, arri grope
through the moil hideous la*
bytinihs of misery, dread arid
conftet nation. These fuddeu
elatic-ns and deprdfion.s render
the mind fickle a id the-fictiti
ous deferiptiens aie present
ed in such glowing colours,
6c fafeinating charms, that it is
impofiible when once accus
tomed to read them, ever a
gain to fix your mind, with a
calm composure upon real and
fendmenial fubjcfcls of morah
[ ty. It is true that many
novels have been celebrated
and held in high efteetn among
many candid and judicious
per lons, but the geneiality of
them ate only calculated to
excite fanatical emotions of
phier zy. Amorousdifpofiti
| ons aie altrroft always th.e to
l pic of relation ; and no pains
| are {pared to pourtray them in
j the in oft lively colours that im
agination can paint. However
rapturous & pleasing such his.
lories may be to gratify 6c f ted
the vanity, yet r ational obler
vation evinces tire impropriety
of their perusal: lor when
once they have aflumed a
complete domination ot the
paifrons, to them, & them on
iy, can you give your • attend
cn ; all other reading becomes
in lipid and unemeriaimng.
There only can you find that
nourishment il funs your
talie, which merely by habit,
has become second nature,
li the lac red rolume, or books
of morality happen to gain
your atieutioti ior a few mo
ments, it is hke travelling
’ through a Uenle field where
there is not I ing to delight.
You find no iatistabiion or
pleasure till vou revett to your j
novels, the dreams of fittion. j I
i he natural disgust which
we feel against a person, when
we know re is relating a uuie
hood, is sometimes beyond our
power to conceal, yet many
aftiduofly employ their time to
read what they know to be an
absolute lie , and receive a de
licious repast in the employ
ment. To the dishonor of i
humanity we are obliged to j
lay that the magic ol words has
such a powerful operation on
the mind, that many a>e led to
countenance, 2nd be delighted
with fa Ife hood.
Let us non Iront these vain
delusions <.f folly and relt our
ideas upon tiioie lubftantial |
foundations. History Sc Ge- {
ograpby are not so recondite
and abstruse, but that they
may be ealily attained by fe
ma'e capacities. The great in
equali’y in the‘mode of educa
tion lets produced the di I parity
between the (exes.—lt is not
owing to the endowments ol
nature. Under the restrain!,
with which they have been \
burthened, many have appeal
ed not much inferior to the
wisest of men. Akineiica can |
boast of a Morton and an 1
Adams, whose poetical, and
hiltorical talents would do
honor to any character of
whatever description. How far
more amiable aie Inch acconi
piifliments ! The advantage
derived from the (Indy of the
solid sciences is much superior,
and of far more consequence
than the giddy visions of the
mad brained novelijl. Com
pare, examine and judge, for
yourselves, place before you
the opposite accompliihments,
appieciate their real value, and
under a sincere conviction, de
cide u; on their merit.
