CHARITY IN WINTER.
raging Itorms deform the air, And clouds of fnow defcend, And the wide landfcape, bright and fair, No deepen'd colours blend When biting froft rides on the wind, Bleak from the north and ealt, And wealth at its eate reclin'd, Prepare to laugh and fealt When the poor traveller treads the plain, All dubiods of his way, And crawls with night-increaling pain, And dreads the parting day When poverty, in vile attire, Shrinks from the biting blaft, Or hovers o'er the pigmy fire, And fears it will not laft When the fond mother hugs her child Still clofer to her breaft And the poor infant, -beguil'd, Scarce feels that it preft Then let thy bounteous hand extend Its bleflings to the poor, Nor fpurn the wretched, while they bend All fuppliant at your door.
From the GAZZTTE of the UNITED Extract from a Sermon, on the fhortnefs, uncer- tainty, and confequent value of Human Life, preached December zo, 1799, in Chrift's Church and St. Peter's, by the Rev. Mr. Abercrombie, the athant Minifters of faid Churches. RETHREN, another year of our proba- tion is almoit gone, and all our thoughts, words and actions, during its filent, yet rapid revolution, are recorded in Heaven's re- gifter on whole important page depends our future happinefsor woe. Tremendous thought But, what fays Confcience, that ftill, fmall, piercing voice within ? Can w.e with compoled and ftedfaft gaze behold, in the unclouded mir- for of the gofpel, our late departed hours país in review, and fay the wifpers peace ? Or, rath- during fuch infpection, doth not that faith- ful monitor proclaim, that they are gone to tef- tify againit us trumpet tongued and that, like Belfhazzar of old, when weighed in the bal- ance of the Sanctuary, we fhall be found want- ing ?" If fo, well may we, like that unhappy menarch, be greatly terrified, and the thoughts of our hearts trouble us ;" fince life is fo uncer- tain, death inevitable, and judgment the fure confequence.
in peace, Bearing his bluthing honours thick upon him," and at the fame time exhibiting ftriking exam- ple of the indifcriminate, and fometimes unex- pected arreft of death, to a mourning continent, and admiring world. As forne majeftic promontory, which rears its awful head on high, the pride and ornament of its native foil, is, by the uncealing current of the ocean, gradually undermined, and at length tumbles, with terrific noife, and wide extended ruin, into the vaft profound :-fo fell this dif. tinguifhed Chieftain-luddenly exchanging time for eternity. When uncommon worth forfakes the world, 'tis impious not to mourn Yet, even under the prefent bereavement, though the figh of patri- otifm. and the tear of affection, pour forth their natural, but unavailing tribute of afflition, the foothing accents of religion, whofe peculiar of. fice it is to adminifter confolation, forbid us to indulge excefs of grief, or to " forrow as thole who have no hope," by affording us the moft un- queftionable affurance, that the next ftate of ex- iftence, being a ftate of retribution, will prove to the virtuous a ftate of reward and happinefs Impreme, where " there fhall be no more fick- nels, forrow, pain or death "
To creatures, therefore, of a day, whofe eve- ry paffing moment hangs fufpended by the trembling hand of time, over eternity's immea- furable gulph, by a tie lighter than air to crea- tures of fuch uncertain duration, furely the ter- mination of alyearis a moit important event, and fhould induce folemn paufe, in which we fhould ferioufly review our conduct during the palt portion of our life, and form fuch refolu- tion for the improvement of that which is to come, as will enable us to give an account with joy, and to render up our ftewardfhip with the confcioulne(s of fidelity. Time to come, like that which will affuredly be accompanied by difeale and death and if reflection extends its fcrutiny only over the expiring year, it will furnith many affecting proofs of the uncertain- ty of human life. hearts have been rent and torn, by the agonizing pangs of fepara- tion, from their fondelt, their clofelt connec- tions And do we not now behold the Enligns of the univerfal conqueror of our fpecies dif- played in the folemn Temple, to mark his tri- umph over one of the moft celebrated of the fons of men ?. Over one, in whom was centered the affections and confidence of a whole nation, however its individuals were diftinguifhed by fedt, or feparated by oppofition of political fen- timent, over one, who was elevated by the ge- neral fuffrages of his countrymen, to the maft confoicuous fuperiority of ftation, both in mili- tary and civil life over one, of whom, could the withes of a grateful people have availed to protract his life, they would have been loudly expreiled, in one voice, with the ardor of Eaftern fublimity, WASHINGTON, LIVE FOREVER !--- Yet even HE, this far-famed Hero, Sage and Patriot, now lies numbered with the mighty dead: at a period too, the moft interelting and eventful in the annals of time; amid the con- vullion of empires, and the general diftrefs of nations He is gone down, however, to the grave, the houfe appointed for all the living,"
