Mr. Nicholson having received the
qualification of thr fptaker, the latter

THE STRANGER.
Rpneath the roof of yon resplendent tovv’r,
Soft founds of music are melodious runs
And fettive dancers ilrike the wine llain’d
floor,
With rapid moving feet.. Mirth on each face
Her iuafive smile depicts, fare one alone I
Amidlt the revel band, whole downcalt eye,’
Whole penfve ir.icn, and fweiling breait de 1
note I
The inward warring* of a tortur’d heart. j
A wealthy Lord to Hymens altar leads
The Sorrowing virgin with reluAant llep,
Her heart recoil’s, hut still ine’s urg’d to join,
In holy wedlock’s ever lacred bond ;
Her hand unwilling, by a fuiheis pow’r.
Where is the Virtue of Peruvian lore,
That thus it drives .a father else molt kind,
T’ offer (where thirl! of wealth predomin
ates)
So dear a viflim as his cmlds felicity.
Is mental peace by powr’ful wealth conferr’d
Can riches bribe the heart already won
To reiign, affeftion, or transfer its love ?
The gen’rous paflions of the ipiman heart,
Spontaneous riling, ever spun corruption.
Not pageantry of Courts, nor gorgeous pomp
Can love extmguifh in the virgin’s breail,
VV Inch doats on Virtue, and which worth
efleems.
Unhappy maid; while inward pangs corrode
And hnppeiefs love consume her hearts rc
])°l'r,
With smiles deceptions mult those cheeks be
deck’d,
Tn hide her loathing from her wedded lord.
Wrthout the lofty portals of the toyv’r
A stranger Hands, to all around unknown:
A cumbrous mantle o’er his form is call,
The features of his face a viforl hides.—
Now feltive fliouts throughout the cattle ring,
And now the bridegroom leads the timid fair
lief ire the pricll to tic the nuptial knot.
With palpitating heart she inward prays,
That the lov’d youth to whom flic vow’d a
love
Too flrong, for time or nbfence to impair,
May in the conflicts of advent’ions war,
Forfeit esiftance in his Country* caule.
Her faithful heart abhors the dillant thought,
That Fame fliould ever to the youth relate
How she, forgetful of her plighted love,
Prefer’d fubmiflion to a noble death.—
With urgent Hep, the llrangtr rulhes on,
Through crowds aitonifb’d to the pallid bride
l or loon her eyes, (his vifornow remov’d)
Ileheld the features of her well lov’d vouth.
“Gome lovely bride,” he laid, as he approach
ed,
“Be thou my partner in the joyous dance.
Let the loud choir {till increase its flrains,
Let new libations higher season mirth,
Till l'enfe he 101 l in rapturous excess.”
The glittering sword loose hanging at his fide
Forth from itsfeabbard, he impetuous d:ew,
And ere a faying arm could intervene,
It made its paluge to the virgins heart.
The blade ail sanguine now tie wields aloft,
And loudly with convulsive laugh he cries,
“Now f rithlef; Laura thou again art mine,
My life to Justice, and my Country's law.
The viA m I resign.” Though Hie was true,
And he in love lincere, a fattier:; pow r,
Which thus exerted, ftiudderr. nature mild,
Produc’d tins l'cenc of Horror, and dcTpair.

Relations wttb Great Britain.
We oblerved, upon very repu
table authority, in our paper of
I* rid ay, that all our differences
wLh G. Britain were accomoda
ted.
Upon this fubjeft we have
Len a letter from a member of
Congress (a federal iff) Bating
that me conduct lately adopted
by Britain, would certainly meet
an early and decided attention,
and that the federalifts would
give their fupporc to firm, but
temperate measures.
An embargo and solemn em
balfy to that country arc, in the
opinion of the writer, the moft
prudent measures under existing
circumstances. The fame letter
adds, that the government of the
United States, have it in their
power to make a treaty at this
no r.crtt, highly h norabie and
advantageous to the U. States.
