To Pleasure.
Oh pleasure | I have fondly woo’d
But never wore thy fleeting favour
My early suit was wild and rude,
And, startled, thou didst fly forever,
Awhile, I deeply sorrow’d o’er,
The wreck of all that peiish’d then;
But wilder, sweeter than before,
Thy smile the’ distant beain’d again.
And, my sad heart, tho’ deeply chill'd,
Still panting, sought thy lov’d embrace,
Trac’d eyery path, thy volaries hil’d
To meet thee in thy resting place.
I saw thee, mantling warm in wine,
And deeply bath’d my fever’d lip;
I saw thee pause at beauty’s shrine,
And suieiy hoped thy sweets to sip,
But wine and beauty both conspir’d
To fill my soul with dark regret ;
For scarceiy now, their sweets expired,
And pleasure, fleeting *scap’d me yet.
And noty ;—with scarce a feeling warm,
When all should bloom in hearts unwasted,
turn me, from thy lovely form,
Thy joys unknown, thy sweets untasteds
Then fare thee well, deceitful shade!
Tho’ bright the charms that still adorn thee ;
Too fondly press’d they withering fade,
And all who {ollow soon must scorn thee

determine whether 1t be a greater foe to virtue,
or to health and happiness. Inactive as it is in
itself, its effects ave fatally poweifal. Though

nines all that is stable and flourishing. It not
oply saps the foundation of every wirtye, but
pours upon you a deluge of crim:s and evils.
[t is like water which fist puuilies by stagna-
tion and then sends up aoxious vapours, and
fills tht atmosphere with death.
Fly therefore, trom idleness, as the certam

of their persons, Is this the foundation which
you lay tor future usefuloess and esieem ? by
such accomplishments, do you hope to recom.
mend yourselves to the thinking part of the
world, and to answer the expectations of your
friends and your country ? Amusements youth
requires, It were vain, it were cruel to prohib-
it them. But though allowable as the relaxa-
tioh, they are most culpable as the business of
the young. For they then become the gall of
time, and the poison of the mind. They foment
bad passions. They weaken the manly powers
They sink the nauve vigor of youth, into con
temptibie c¢ffeminacy.
Redeem your time from such dangerous
waste, to fill it with employments which you
may review with satisfac ion. The acquisition
of knowledge is one of the most honorable oc-
cupations of youth. The desire of it discovers
a liberal mind, and is connected with many ac-
complishments, and many virtues. Dut thoug i

employments to a weil disposed mind. What-
ever you pursue be emulousto excel. Gener

pecially at your age, among the marks of virtue.
Thivk not that any affluence of fortune, or any
elevation of rank, exempt you irom the duties of
application and industry. Indusiry 1s the law cf

Look on Greatness—say where greatness lies.
Pork.
Greatness is a thing much talked of, though
itle understood, The world entertains about
this, as itdoes 1bout many other things, very
wrong notions. Itis usual to judge of the great-
acess of men, from the circumstances in which
they are placed. A general at the head of an
army, is a very conspicuous and interesting ob-
jecty and whether placed (here because of his
birth, sycophkancy, or merit, will by the wor):
be called great. The cud for which be is in

office, encircle his character with a splendour

would make them tlie objects of our contempt

Sunday to sit in one pew. During the course
