POETRY

JROM THE KY. REPORTER. A PARODY (Ob! blame not tbc Bard, if be fiy to tbc bower, &c.) Old blame not the Ranks it they fly to suspension here av'rice lies carelessly smiling at shame; They would have done better, and 'twas their intcnton To have paid the last dollar, and died in a llamc. That box that now languishes Jjxe in the corner, Might have yielded delight to the Country man' heart. And the Teller, alive totheim--pulsc of honor, Would have paid it with gl ad n ess, a n d seen i t depart . JButalas! tor the banks, their tame is gone by And that credit hbrthn which used but to bend. O'er their fall each Director in secret must sigh, For 'tis interest to love them, but sbane to defend. Unprized are their notes, or at ten per cent, selling; Unhoncr'd at home, unredeemed! on demand. But still they've a merit 1 joy in the telling, They're taken for Fork, though rejected for land. Then blame not the Banks though they cease to redeem. (c should try to forget what we never can heal) Oh! turuish the dust let the dollars but gleun Th ro' t he gloo m o f t h si r vault s 5v mark how they'd reel! That instant they'd pa ! On demand they'd throw down Tjie branch paper so lav'd or the gold so adored, "While the Eagle, the Dollar and Old 'Spanish Crown Would jingle in concert and shine on the board But their glory is gone ! Evry dog has his day; Yettheir tame (such as Viv) shall abide in my songs: Not e'en in the hour when my heart is most gay Will I cease: to remember their rrJes & their wrongs. The sti anger in passing each village shall say, (As he eyes the sad spot, with hi- Lnd on his heart) THERE ONi E SL'OOU A B A X K i bu t u n a ble to pa y It s:UfU-eJ It self and thank G d at rest! OHIO BARD. -.;',p- the F-. ' et.'c. THE MORALIST. Ho;Vwi die Lcra wuiiiliv ::ubSo shah thv i)ains behind with muitv.' Prov. 111,9,00, It ia truth, universally acknowledged, that man is a dependent being ; the usages of ail nations at evrry period " ot history, sUcwt. that tliis axiom has always termed a rt of their moral creed. Aaion le rude and uncultivated tribes ci Indians the custom has always existed of appropriating a portion cf their yearly substance a" n present to the Great Spirit, ta n horn they tensider themselves indebted fv.r ;-ucccss in hunting, and victory in v.ar, as w ell as to aveit his anger, ftnd conciliate his favour. Among civilized nations, a similar, dictate of gratitude, founded on a mol e rational basis, is manifested by setting apart seasons for the purpose of public prayer and praise. The sentiment of gratitude, which is here the exciting principle, is natural to die heait of man ; he who s ould havenroed himself canale. of forgetting or uiuien aiuir.e; a t Ijeitefit revived man his Uiv mortal would be considered as

unnatural, as he would he an imM'orthv member of society ; how culpable then ought he to be considered, who would withhold his tribute of gratitude from the great, and beneficent Author of all Good. The motto which we have chosen, contains a : -ample and reasonable requisition. To honor our Creator with our sub-atance, is but returning to him a portion of that which is his our., and what can I e more just, than that we, who indebted to a Supreme Ikin T, for the inial showers, and sues, ol summer, and the abundant steas of Autumn, should - elaU r up to him the of:Vri:u; of a. grateful heart.

The hope of future happiness is a perpetu al source of consolation to iood men. Under trouble it soothes their minds, amidst temptation, it supports their virtue; and in their dymg moments, enables them to say, () death where is thy sting? O rrrave! where is thv victory 1 :nkcc. Industry and Virtue. An industrious education of children, is a better inhori tance for them than a 'jreat cstate. To what purpose is it, said Drares, to hean ur cteat estates, and have no concern what manner of heirs vou leave them to ? Ixdufccnee There is no such fop as my young master, who is a fool ot his mother's making. She blows him up into a conceit of himseit, and there he stop.5, witiiout ever advancing one step further. She makes a man of him at sixteen, and a boy all the days of his life after. EdueatioK. What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to a human soul. The philosopher, the saint, and the hero, the wise, the good, or the great man, very often lie hid & concealed in a plcbian; which a proper education miriht have disinterred c have brought to light. An ironical writer in the Pittsburgh Statesmen, says : " the Seminole Indians have taken courage anew, and are rushing to war, in tne cor.ii- . 1 dent expectation cf taking Congress, the President and a!J,

with Ccbbs and the like instruments." This to a certain extent may be trne ; for, if the spirits of the fomented and worthy Arbuthnot and Ambristcr have acrain become the tenants ot animate Clav. something in character, to perpetuate their illustrious memories, may be performed.

Masonic brethren are notified that John Uhaycr or James Tapin, as he has changed his name, late a resident of this place, and late a visitor, has been guilty of highly unnmsonic conduct, we tneiefore think him unworthv the benefits and privileges or IMansonry. Said Thayer or J apin, is by appearance a Scotchman, but savs he is from Poughkcepsie, in the state of New York, his hair is very much mixed v. ith g ay, his complexion bur, large blue eyes, about hve feet S inches high, 35 years ot age, by profession a school master, ol insinuating manners. It is probable he will change his name as he has done before. Bvordcr of the Ldp,c, JOS. iM. SKINNER, Sc'ry.

TO BEWARE OF A SCOUNDREL. IN the early part of Septemlast, I hired a man in Brownsville, Pennsylvania, who called himseit Jacob I. Miller, in order to assist in navigating a boat to the falls of Ohio ; this fellow, when the boat was within a few utiles ot Louisville, on some pretence left her in a skitf, and by perjury obtained a writ against me, which was served, and after having procured my all absconded ; leaving the good folks of Lou isville to regret giving credence to the oath of cverv rascal. Miller is about 35 years of age; about 5 feet 10 inches high; wore a striped yellow jacket; a pair of light colored pantaloons, a very dark brown coat and a new fur hat. Fifty dollars vrill be given to any person who will secure said Miller in any Jail, so that I may either recover my property or punish the thief. SAML. SPEAKER. Nov. 20, 1S18.
