AWAKE, awake 1 to glory wake The din of battle calls A nation's wrongs, your llnmbers break, (' lumhi lives or falls J Yr free born spirits take t!ie field, Your country 's wrongs redrefs, Your country's rights with glory fluid, Your country's fears rpieis. A haughty foe invades your rights, And triumphs in your fpoil ; She glories in her bale exploits, And fattens on your toil : Yon. Commerce withers on the main,

Your Sons in flavery groan, Your Brothers' blood our harbors (lain, Your childlcfi Mothers mourn. Jlere secret spies inf. ft your land, Enkindling difcord's flame ; Combining wtth a venal b:md To cru'.h our leg A frme ; To arm the Sire againft the Soil, The Son tgfttnjt the Sire ! To csufe a Brother's blood to run, To quench a Brother's ire.

A miscreant who would By ? A dastard who would yield his right ? Or grudge to freely die ? When wrongs, S infults croud his fight, And (liken an his heart ; When power ives law & interest right And truth means only art

Anecdote of M. de Sallo, the first Inventor qf Periodical Perjomantes. In the year 1662, when Pa ris was afflided with a long c fevere famine, M. dc a 1 1 o , returning from a lummcr's e venino walk, with onlv a littie toot boy, was accolted by a man, who prefented his pi I tol, and in a mariner far from the refolutenefs ot a hardened robber, a iked him for his money.

way.

The man took them, and, j without a (king him tor more, walked olf with an air of dejection and terror. The fellow was no fooner gone, than M. de Sallo order ed the boy to follow him, to fee where he went, and to give him an account of every thing. The lad obeyed ; followed him through feveral obfeure ftreets, and at length faw him enter a baker's (hop, where he oblerved him to change one of his piflcles, buy a large brown lout. -With tins purchaie, he went a few doors farther, and entering an alley, afcended a pair ot (tairs. The boy crept up after him to the fourth llory, where he faw him go into a room, that had no light but that received from the moon : and peeping thro' a crevice, he perceived him throw it on the Moor, and buril into tears, faxing, 1 There, cat your fill, that's the deareit loaf I ever bought ; I have robbed a gencieman of three piitoles ; let us hufband them well, and let me have no more teaziugs ; for loou or late thele doings

His lamentations v ere an (wered by the v hole family ; and his wife having at length calmed the agony of his mind took up the loaf, and cutting it, gave four pieces to tour poor flarving children. I he boy having thus hap pily performed his commiflion returned home, and gave his mailer an account ot every thing he had feen and heard. M. de Sallo, who was much moved, ordered the boy to call him at five in the morn ing. This humane gentleman arofe at the time appointed, and taking the boy with him to fhew him the way enquired in the neighborhood the charts acter of a man vho lived in lueh a garret, w ith a w itc and four child! en ; w hen he was cold that he was a very indui trious good kind of man ; that he was a flvpe maker, & 1 neat votkmw but w as o verburthened witii a famjy, and had a hard druggie toliVe 111 inch bad times. Satisfied with this account, M. de Sallo afcended to the hoe maker's garret ; and knocking at the door, it was

his mercy, pleading the ex

and begging that he would forgive his firft crime. M. de Sallo defired him to make no noife, for he had no intention to hurt him. ' You have a good character among your neighbors, faid he, but mutt expect that your life willfoon be cut fliorc, if you are now lo wicked as to continue the freedom you took with me. Hold your hand ; here are thirty piftoles to buy leather ; hufband it well, and fet your cliildred a commendable ex ample. To put you out of farther temptations to commit fuch ruinous and fatal actions, i will encourage your induf try ; 1 hear you are a neat workman, and you (hall take mealure of me, and of this boy for two pair of (hoes each, ck he fliall call upon you for them.' The whole tamily appeared fir nek with joy, a mazement and gratitude. M. do aallo depaited, greatly moved, and w ith a mind filled with fausfaelion, at having laved a man, and perhaps a family, from the commiflion of guilt, from an ignominious death, and perhaps from eternal perdition.

A few days ago a complaint was made to an old gentleman in Ireland, in the 98(11 year of his age, that his youngeft Ion, w ho is 70, had taken improper liberties with a young woman in the neighborhood, on w hich the fattier oblerved, that ' his fon was a giddy youth, and if he did not leave ot his boyi(h pranks he would cut him off to a Hulling.
