Like Brothers live, in amity combined
And unsuspicious faith : whilst henest toil
Gives every joy, and to those joys a right
Which idle, barbarous rapine but usurps—
How pure thy reign, when unaccursed by

Naught save the sweet indulgent showers
of heaven
Trickling, distil upon the verdant mead
Instead of mangied carcases, sad scene !
Behold the shining share, the crooked

And hook, imprint the vegatable wound.
When the blvthe sheaves life scattered o’er
the plain,
When the earth blushes with the rose alone
The falling fruitage and the bleeding vale.
Oh Peace ! thou source and soul of social
life !
Bzneath whose calm, inspiring influence
Science her views enlarges, Arts refine,
And ‘swelling Commerce opens all her
ports
Bless’d be the man divine who gives us
thee !
Who bids the trumpet hush its horrid
clang,
Nor blow the giddy nations into rape—
Who ‘sheaths the murderous blade, the
deadly gun
Lio the well piled armoury returns ;
And all the vigor of the work of War
To grateful industry converting—makes
The country flurish and the city smilew
Uwviolated thee the Virgin sings !
Aud thee, the smiling Mother to her tram.
Ofthee, the Sheperds, in the peaceful tale

Or teem he toils With the Sailor sooths
Beneath the trembling moon, the midnight

Mer joys one land alone---Thy praice ex-

Far as the Sun rolls the diffusive day,
Far as tie winds can bear the gifts of peace,

A MALE fFOUNDLING.
Some days since, while
a number of Philadelphia
gentlemen were skating on
the Delaware, a tea box
was picked up on the ice
coataining a living male
infant four days old, care-
fully wrapped up in warm
clothing. The personwho
first got hold of the, box,
was defermined to keep
the child, although his
' Companions were anxious
for the prize. The child

« Two bridges had beea completed, the
one near Stubenzi, and the other near Ves-

The opposite shore was Zebmino. The

the way tolerable safe from immediate
