JSI Cnurhqf A[i OUO. h\z\ A POEM. WRITTEN BY THI LATE MR. RICHARD BINGHAM DAVIS, OF ‘ XEW-YOHK. When morning shot enlivening gleams Across the sky in lucid streams ; When night roll’d stow in mist j away, __ I And Nature’s music hail’d the I day,. With hounding heart and cheer ful haste, The spangled path I gfedy trac ed ; I gaz’d upon the prospect round 1 heard the animating sound : The sound was sweet, the pros pect fair ; But, oh IJtLizA was not there. alt noon with pensive step I stray’d Beyond the aromatic shade, Where gentle galea with lontl de lay Among the twining branches play ; There contemplation rears her throne, The Muses call the shade their own Bright was the Muse’s blooming wreath, And mild was zephyr’s gentle breath ; Refreshing was the balmy air ,• — But, 011 ! Eliza was not there, At evenhio’s meditative hour, Sacred to fancy’s fairy power. When the fair crescent of tile night £> Pour’d on the earth her modest light, I gaz’d upon the lovely scene, ( aim. solitary, and serene, The solitary scene was fair : But, oh 1 Eliza was not there. Where’er by contemplation borne, Whether I meet the rav of morn Or catch the fragrant breeze of noon. Or rove beneath the inspiring mooriA Reflection ilnm|) my joy And hope’s effinamed scenes de stroy : Forbids the fleeting bliss to share. And tells, “ Eliza is not there.’’ A WISH. I’ve often wished to have a friend, With whom my choicest hours to spend, To whom I safely might impart Each wish and weakness of my heart ; Who might in every sorrow cheer, Or mingle with mv grief a tear, For whom alone I’d wish to he, And who alone would live lor me; And to secure my bliss tor life, I’d wish’that friend to be a H ife. ■ — „n Fran the ‘Fimes.

Breasts that with sympathizing ardour glowed, And holy friendship, such as 7 he sens vow'd Friendship is such a need*” fary ingredient, towards the promotion of human happi ness, that the life of man may be considered as burlhenfotne, when destitute of a being with whom he can fympathife and impart the emotions of joy or for row, which may refuitfrom the propitioufnels of profpe’ iuv, or the afllifchon.s of adver sity. So nrceffary is the partici pation of the nineties and vex ations to which human nature is daily addicted, that the on . !y mitigation of our furrows, j folelv ariles from mutual fym” j pathv. In the brealt of a roan, | ] fufceptihle to the dictates of friendlhip, we can confide the mofl corrosive griefs; frotn his unremitted condolence, we t experience every alleviation i that contributes to deaden the I pungency of misfortune. But, it is a melancholy corjiderati on, that the judgment can on i Iy be formed b v long experi j et.ee-—for how often is the fa ! cred name of friendlhip pros ! t'tuted to facilitate the me ft a” 1 bominahle purposes. What | happiness can the fcoundrelde ; rive, in afleverating a faile j friendlhip ? Let him contem | plate its result, and he will he* ; hold the young and inexperi” 1 enced fall victims to profef | Rons sordid and bale. But when frienafbip is ftnccre, it banifnes every dctellable vice, ! under all its disguises. A man i who can regard the rising prof petity of his friend, with envv, is an utter (Iranger to this vir tuc—for true friendfhip admits of no diftinftion between afflu ence and poverty. There is something in friend fhip so great and noble, that in those fibiitious Rories which are 1 invented, to perpetuate the I fame of different characters, ! the juthors have thought it as ; essential to make their hero a friend as a lover. Achilles b;;d nil Patroclus; by the hero’s love Greece was alrnofl ruined, but preserved by his friend i fit ip. Another instance may ; be exemplified, of the happy ! eftetfs of fi iendfhip, viz.—ln j the time of the proscription by j the triumvirate at Rome, a grievous punishment was de nounced against any person who fliould conceal, or in any way alfift’ the proferibed ; on the other hand, great rewards were promised to those who should difcovei* their retreat. Matquis Varro was in the lift of persons proferibed, and at which lime his friend Calenus tenderly received and conceal ed him several days in his ■ houle and though Anthony j came often thither to converfc, ( yet was Calenus never affright j ed, nor changed his mind, j though be law other men pu- I nifhed, or rewarded, according to the put port of the languina ry editt. We fee represented in this* worthy personage, all j that conllitute a man replete i with humanity, and every o 1 ther good qualification—nei j ther intimidated by the mena cing horrors of an ignomini ous punishment, nor induced j by the temptation of such are j compence, to betray his trust, at once dtfplays his magnatii j mity, the immaculacy of his friendlhip. Hence, there is such an at tracting virtue in friendlhip. I that men of the moll debauch ed principles, are compelled to admire. Exalted flame ! The inhabitant only of minds j free from the contagion of vice I —the concomitant of philan j thropy. j “ Soft propitious power. j Sweet regent of the social hour, 1 Sublime thy joys; nor understood, I But l>v ths virtuous and the good. ! Cabal and riot take thy name, But ’its a false affected claim.” Ultimately, that, friendlhip which is formed insensibly, aud without profeffing much, is generally la(U..g—for he can* not be properly chosen for a friend, whole kindness is cx | haled by its own warmth, or frozen by the lull blalt of ca lumny. But true friends, are like two fouls in one body ; they can give or receive no thing ; all is common between them. W. H. N OT ICE.
