THE SLAVES OF THE LAMP.
A party were sitting over their wine and
dessert. One peach, and one only, re-
mains upon the table. It is very rich. very
ripe, and -ver_v_ lu.~'.'cious,,\'er_V tempting.——
Every body has offered it to his neighbor,
and every body's neighbor las politely
declined it. There appears to be some-
thing greedy in seizing upon the last mor-
sel upon the table. Everybody, then, cu-
vies the pe ch, yct leave it unappropria-
ted upon the plate. Ev.-ry body appears
careless about which every body is inter-
ested. livery body is greedy, but no one
will own it. 'l he aeach is the cause ofall
the white lies, the petty envy, the paltry
covetousaess, which even that respectable
party—for they were rcspcctablc, and not
one oflhcm cared a pin"s head about a
peach in the abstract-——conld not help giv-
ing up a little corner of their breasts to,
as a passing place of shelter.
Suddenly the lamp went out; and, as
the room was left in darkness, six hands
simultaneously were stretched out, and
encountered each other in the dish;
whole party with one united mind, had
made one united effort to appropriate‘ the
each.
When the lamp was re-lighted, they
were ashamed to look each other in the
face. They felt how paltry they were ;—~
with what petty cowardicc—with what
shabby cunning—-with what snea..ing sel
fishness they had acted. ’Twas only bur-
ning oil which had kc t them decent.-—

And are we not all, more or less, slave.
of the lamp! A
Our neigbboris advantages are our
peaches. Socic-t_v,nnd society’s laws burn
the restraining light ; and mankind in gen-
eral are the envious malcontents, who dis
claim the fruit while they long for it-
whose tongues refuse the morscl, while
their teeth water for its ripeness.
So many diflbrcnt men——so may differ-
ent peaches. Crime is the rnflian’s for-

Look! in this place ran Stryl-;er’s dagger thro’!
See what: a. rent the envious Foster made!
Through this, the galled “old white horse"
kicked ;
This was the unkindest kick of all!
For when returns from “old Schohario” came,
Then in his mantle, muflling up his face,
iHugging his badge ofoliice to the last,
And crying all is lost! great Cato fell!
Oh what a fall was tlicre my countrymen?
Then I and F lagg—t.he Atlas—all of us
Fell flat! '
But yesterday the word of Cato might
Have rctocd any bill. Now lies be there,
And none but I and F lngg to do him reverence!
Freemen! sweet witnesses! Let me not stir
' you up _ ,
P0 any sudden flow of mutiny.
I am no orator! you know me all
.A plain blunt man that loves my office,
For I have neitilier wit, nor words, nor worth
To stir men’s bloods. Sweet witness, farewell!
