FKOMTHE PARTHENON. Re flection an the tomb of a Friend.

Fare thee well, thou witness ofniy happier

days, A long;, lon. last farewell: Yc. o'er whose tomb I've Ming my early lays, Now listen to my parting knell:

I Ci dear friend, to love and to adore my God,

Amid some solitary wild. Where tickler-unjust man hath never trod, Or fawning woman smiled. Yes. far, far, from the haunts of man, My humble cave shall he. Where I may breathe my little ?pan. Then leave for lleaveu and thee. IIcnuy.

the present aspect of the world, can easily

draw a. line between inose neopie wnn tie

will find we are correct in our assertion. It is not astonishing that an enlightened people should be a happy one. w hen it is considered that the ideas of oppression in rulers and knowledge in the people are totally irreconcilable to each other: where the minds of a people are formed by the salutary influences of education, they become their rigiits and will maintain them, and injustice cannot subsist when it is soon discovered and abhorred.

Men talk of national glory, but are not often correct in their opinions with regard to that on hich it should be f unded. A magnificent name tnd a reputation caused and supported by. the ear other people entertain, aie generally highly prized by mankind. That a nation ount to consider the happiness of it? people as its only true glory, is a remark which no one -rill at the piesent dav attempt to coi.tro-.ert.

And incc this is the first en. I proposed in t te establishment of every goxerntnent. those things which tend to cause and promote the welfare and happiness of the members of the community should receive earnest attention. There is a- t.iiag which anccts societv in all 1 1 . .. 1. . 1 . . 1.
