AN OLD NEWSPAPER

Through the kindness of a Christian Scientist, we are in possession of a copy of the Massachusetts Centinel, dated Wednesday, July 30, 1788. It presents all the quaint characteristics of the newspapers of that time. From it we quote the following very beautiful poem: —

Vain fears, and idle doubts, be gone!Unjust suspicions, false alarms,Delusive hope, that smiles, and cheats,And subtle pleasure's dangerous charms.When Virtue calls, and points the way,'Tis mad, 'tis impious, to delay.
