WHEN Dick, was iiv'd unknown—
But now, a man of fortune grown,
With all the Nab%bsin the tcwu )
He's hand and glove—the palling smile—
And compliments as smooth as oil—
And cards—in truth it raak's one laugh—
Dick scarce has time to read one ha:#.
No puppies now contrast their noses.
Nor fleer Dick with their sage supposes.
Nor call his wit and part? m question,
Nor stab his fame by falfe suggestion :
For granting Dick " a man of dollars,*
Birth, wit and sense, and learning follows.
And what is worse than all the reft,
Dick don't appear to smoke the jest;
Reciptocatcs the palling gnn,
And true mechanic fall of chin ;
Foigets that fortune is a jilt,
Who vet may give his coach a ttlt;
• For (hould the beldame, in a paflion,
Reduce Dtck to his former station,
Place him again in ftatu<juo.
And is there one will know him r—No.
Those who have eat his bread and cheese,
His hams, his venison, fowls and geese—
As rats from falling houses fly,
Will leave Dick in a ditch to die.

ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS.
There is a natural propensity in mankind to extravagance—every
obje& of pursuit, whether of pleasure or profit, however mode,
rarely it may engage our attention atfirft, is ultimately over-rated ;
the consequence is difappoi.umentand vexation.
It is difficult to reltrain an ardent disposition ; when
extraordinary luccefs appears to crown the enterprizes of daring
adventurers—and hence we may observe, thai while but few have
wisdom and prudence fufficient to withftaod the treacherous but
fafcinating faults of fortune—the greater part of the world are
either drawn into her deftru&tve vortex of fpeculatton, or fuffer
at least a temporary chagrin from the apparent luccefs of her har
dy votaries.— Wha an nftru&ive fchoo] is that of experience ! —
Happy are those who profit by the fuffeiings of others—and re
p-effing the risings of envy, enjoy in peace and gratitude the solid
and substantial fruits of patient and pcrfevering mduftry.
" In the sweat of thy brow (halt th#u eat bread."—What a per
petual itruggle is maintained to obviate this ancient declaration !
What a numerous generation of mendicants has it given life to!
and how many millions, the produce of haid industry, arc year Iy
extorted from the hand of diligence by the cunning and unprin
cipled disciples of idlenels ! The charity that is bellowed on un
woithy obje&s, if properly applied, would alleviate, and a I molt
annihilate the miseries of the truly untoriunate sons and daughters
of affliction. The mod competent charity is that which guarci>
the avenues of dillrefs. Inttitutions, therefore, which place the
human mind in a capacity to acquire ufeful knowledge, are justly
to be conhdered as the result of the moll sublime policy and be
nevolence. On these principles wc may determine, chat a people
are enlightened in proportion to the provision which they make
for the u.ftfnfclion ot lhe whole body of the people, in such
branches of education as arc essential Co constitute a free, an inde
pendent and happy community.
