God made the country, and man made the town.

Let no presuming impious railer tax
Creative Wisdom, as if aught was form'd
In vain, or not for admirable ends.

His works unwise, of which the smallest part
Exceeds the narrow vision of her mind?

GOD'S POWER

The firste Mover of the cause above,
When he first made the faire chain of love,
Great was the effect, and high was his intent;
Well wist he why, and what thereof he meant ;
For with that faire chain of love he bound
The fire, the air, the water, and the lond
In certain bondes, that they may not flee-

GOD SAVE THE KING.

This celebrated Air first became known to the Public in 1745, when it was introduced at Covent Garden Theatre, by Dr. Arne, during the time of the Scotch Rebellion, under the title of "A Loyal Song." Arne told Dr. Burney that "He had not the least knowledge who was the composer, nor could he guess who wrote it." It has since been attributed to Carey, Dr. Bull, Purcell, Anthony Young, and others, but with equal absence of documentary evidence on which reliance can be placed.

To mend the work wise Providence had made.

GOLD.

Gold hath no lustre of its own,

It shines by temperate use alone.
FRANCIS' Horace, book 2, ode 2.

'Tis gold which buys admittance; oft

It doth; yea, and makes

Diana's rangers false themselves, yield up

Their deer to the stand o' the stealer; and 'tis gold

Which makes the true man kill'd, and saves the thief;

Nay, sometime, hangs both thief and true man;

What can it not do, and undo?

SHAKSPERE, Cymbeline, act 2, sc. 3.

Fight thou with shafts of silver, and o'ercome
When no force else can get the masterdom.

All-powerful gold can speed its course,
Through watchful guards its passage make,
And loves through solid walls to break.
