centre of the world, a* and ianno stable, & that the
moves even with ad urnal mo- ion ; also, that
you had re tain scholars imo whom yo initilkd the
Same dodtnne : allu, that you maintained a co/ref
pondenceon this print witn certain niathema iciaris
of Germany ; nifo, thn you pubhfned certain epis
tles, treating of the* f>la a Ipots, in which you reeled
the fame doctrine as true, bec*u(e you anivvered to the
objections, wnich, from ume to time, were brought
ag’ inst y u,talcMi from ‘he holy feripture according
to y< ur own lenfe ; and tna’ afterwards, when a co
py of writing, 10 the form of an epiltie, written by you
to a certain late fen oh r of yours Was orefemed to you

rained for fome rime without motion j he

vived r.o ptrfbnul injury. The fa& was, that
his mind being occupied with other matters,

gaged, he clung but n erbanically, as it were,
to his horft, and was flung bom his leat by a
fuddvn spring of the animal. In a similar

before from being overturned into a deep ditch,
when taking the air w'lth Madame Buona

Lamentation of Ar min for the lot's of bet
Daughter — From Gffian.
BY PAUL ALLEN, Esq.
ON the rock, where the dark waves arise,
My daughter was heard to complain; 5
How frequent and lo c\ iverc her cries! j
She mourns for her father in vain.
i stood on the foore all the night;
The pale mo on rose penfivc and flow.
And brought her faint form to my fight j
I learned ail her accents of woe.
The temped howl Moyer the plain,
Fhe wind whittled loudly and fhnll,
While the drops of the falling rain
Beat hard on the flic of the hill.
Ere the fun ting’d mountains wirh light,
Fhe voice of my daughter was .frail,
1 Like the flow foiemn breeze of ,the night,
That dies on the gra£ of the vale.
Now in the cold dust ihe is laid,
And ha? left thee, O Amrn ! alone 3
Ti e strength of mine arm is decay’d
My pride .among women is gone.
When the florins of the bleak momtfla * oir,
When the north lifts the bhie wive on big i*
1 (icon the lea beaten fliore,
And the rock’s tatai sum nit 1 spy.
Fhe ghost ox my children appear;
All palhd and mournful they fee o ;
They convert wnh a ligh and a c^r.
As they walk in cat muon’s fetring beanF
I call—but they hear me no more !
O Garmon ! now nard is my doon?!
