MIGHTY, I am enabled lo present the reader 

 with a new copy, and again take my leave of 

 liim, wishing him health, prosperity, and good 

 sport. — I shall now, (following the example of 

 my pious predecessor W a lton.) address THAT 

 POWER, who penetrates and sustains all nature, 

 who brings round the grateful vicissitude of the 

 seasons, who has given us the inhabitants of the 

 watery element not only for our nourishment, 

 but recreation, and Ji horn we are sure to please, 

 by receiving his blessings thankiuliy, and enjoy- 

 ing them with propriety. 



HYMN* 



Father of all ! — all good ! — all wise ! 



Who bid'st the tempest rage or cease; 

 Whose glory fills earth, seas, aiid skies. 



Thou only source of joy and peace ; 



Thy wise decrees are right and just. 



Let no (>ne, impious i lax thy will ; 

 But on thy glorious mercies trust. 



And see a good, thro' ev'ry ill : 



Arm — arm, with fortitude my breast, 



The various ills of life to hear; 

 And leach thy servant when at rest, 



For storms and troubles to prepare : 



But thro' whate'er distressful scene, 

 Thy righteous hand may lead aie still; 



Resigned to what may evil seem, 

 CoiUent my breast shall calmly fill: 



And as theseasons onward roll, 



And years revulviug quickly fiy; 

 Sv/ret gratitude shall warm my soul. 



For ail the blessings I enjoy : 



Still — still Til praise that heav'nly source. 



For wliat it plra5cs to h-estow; 

 That petrifies the streamlet's course, 



Or bids its silver current tlow:
