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.

ANECDOTES.
A certain Hybernian lady had a custom

Madam, you called 2 « Oh, no sir,” said
she, with great composure, « It was axo.
THER PUPPY I spoke to.”
SP Poe
“A gentleman not much versed in literary
affair, asked a Hybernian friend, what was
the meaning of posthumous 'works.. ¢ Oh,’
exclaiméd Par, ¢ dont you know that? why
they are books which a man writes after he
is dead.’
