jfj ITHER ye poor and perftcuted come,
To tatfe the comforts of a kinder doom!
whofe high fonts with gallant warmth difdaa,
^datter and betray for fordid gain ;
To flaver like a djg, a tyrants hand,
And crouch obedient to his vile dommand;
To praAife arts, difgraeefnl to the brave.
Fit for a faithlefs woman or a ilave.
And here in fields as eminently blefi,
As thafe which erft the chofen race pofleft,
Trcm bondage led to thedelUhtfal land,
|By their meek Ruler,and Jehovah's hand)
And here devote to freedom*s facred name,
^’ith curious ikill, a temple we will frame 5
V^hich upon Doric pillars fhall be borne.
And a feyere fimplicity adorn j
Such as ne’er Athens, Lacedemon plan'd.
Or Rome, the dread and wonder of each land'|
Which heaven-proeeAed, ever fiull defy.
The traitor's arts and rage of tyranny ;
Or if it Ihould be fpoll'd, yet not before,
Its martyr's blood around its feite we pour*

A N E Q^T>
S ometime fincca Rev. French Hu-
gonot having been preiented to a
living in a part of Ireland, chole to
officiate without the affiftance of a cu
rate i—and as his accent and the idi
oms of his language rendered him
fcarcclyunderftocd, his audience did not
reftrain tiieir complaints but brought
them forward to the Bifhop, who ap
pointed a day for hearing both parties
in the piefencc of each other. The
Hugonot having received an account
of their remonftrance to the Biffiop,
took the fird opportunity of inviting
his difconicnted parifhlonecrs to
“ dccnc with him on roaft bcuf and
plcom-pudang,” which they readily
accepted, and largely and heartily did
they incife into the roaft bcuf and
ploom-pndang of their venerable paf-
tor. On the day of hearing—the
complainants fet forth their allegations
of unintelligibility ; to which the Hu
gonot replied “ My lord, my pariftiio-
ners, when I read the litturgy, and
from the pulpit exhort them to amend
ment of life, fay they cannot compre
hend my meaning ; but, my lord to
put the matter to a teft, I afked them
to dmc with me on roaft bcuf and
ploom-pudang this they chofe very
well to underftand, and really perform
ed their parts to admiration—which
is a demonftrative proof on what a
groundlcfs foundation their complaints
are founded.”
I N the year 1777# two American
foldiers took a fancy to go and hear
a fermon ^Thc Clergyman who
preached was the Celebratatcd Mr.
, Murray, of Bofton, well known for
'^^fchis doArine of univerfal falvation. In
the afternoon of the fame day they at
tended a difeourfe from another prea
cher whofe doftrinc happened to be
entirely and diametrically the reverfe
of that they had ferioufly liftened to in
the morning. “ Tom” faid one of
them “have you obferved how diffe
rent thefc parfons preach ? Which do
you intend to believe ?”—“ I’ll be
d—nd,” fays Tom, “ if 1 believe either
of them for my part, till 1 fee it come
out in General Orders.'*
