rs [. nae = TPORTRY. nl + 2 0 T— THE END OF ALL. nts IN youth, how blithe, how sweet and gay, Life’s smiling face appears; Our pleasures drive and we obey, Nor think of changing years. In every flowery path we rove, Nor spurn the giddy call, Fill thus reminded trom above, Phat death’s “the end of all.” T.ove glides within the breast, With sweet seducing aim: The dear idea is caressed, And blows intofa flame. But age will mark the furrow’d cheek The genius took will fall ; The faultering tongue will faintly speak Is this “ THE END OF ALL.” The syren call of pleasure draws, With merciless control ; While vanity invites applause, Ambition warms the soul, But if pale sickness peep abroad, Such comforts are but small ; The sweets of life increase the lead, Such is ¢ the end of all.” The glare of riches charm the sense, And honor’s pulse beat high! The serious thenght is driven hence, And shadowy phantoms fly, While reason yieds to slavish fear, This thought wiil taste like gall ; Perhaps the next revolving year, May mark « the end of all.” O blend those fascinating joys With those of higher fame : Let gratitude’s melodious voice, Call on his Maker’s name. Religion will her charms display, And smiles will meet the call ; Terror will yield to hope’s bright ray Whichsgilds « the end of all.” LYING. r—— Nothing is more criminal, mean or redic- ulous, than lying. Itis the production either of malice, cowardic e, or vanity ; but it gen- feraily misses of its aim in every one of these os ; for lies are always detected sooner ers If we advance a malicious lie, in effcctany man’s fortune or charac- may, indeed injure him for some we shall certainly be the great- est suff'r¥rs in the end: {for as soon as we are detected, we are blasted for the infa- mous attempt ; and whatever is said after wards tothe disadvantage of that person, however true, passes for calumny. To lie, or to equivocate, which is the same thing, to excuse ourg:lves for what we have said or done, and to avoid the danger of the shame that we apprehend from it, discovers our fear as well as our falshehood ; & we only increase, instead of avoiding the danger and shame ; we shew ourselves to be the low- est and meanest of mankind, and are sure to be always treated as such. If we have the misfortune to be in the wrong, there is something nobie in frankly owning it ; it is the only way of atoning for it, and the only way to be forgiven. To remove a present danger, by equivocating, evading or shuf- fling, is sometimes so despicable, and be- trays somuch fear, that whosoever practi- ses them deserves to be chastised. There is another sort of lies which, tho’ inoffensive are wounderfully rediculous; those, for ex- ample, which a mistaken vanity snggests, that defeat the very end for which they are calculated. These are chiefly narrative and historical lies, all intended to do infinite honor to their author. He is always the hero of his own romances; he has been in dan- gers which nobody but himself ever escap- ed; he has beheld with his own eyes, what- ever other people have beard or red of ; and has ridden more miles post in one day, than ever a courier wentin two. He is present- ly discovered, and soon becomes the object of contempt and ridicule. Nothing but truth can carry us through the © world, with: either our conscience or our honour unwounded. It is not only our du- ty. but our interest; asa proof of which, it might be observed, that the greatest fools are the greatest liars. We may safely judge of aman’s truth, by his degrec of under- standing. o . ANECDOTES.
