4 REVOLUTIONARY BEGGAR.
Tt should be a subject of regret, that while van
ity nnd pride are busy in pilling stones in honor
of departed heroes of the Revolution, many of the
lining who were not less active in achieving the
1 Independence.” of our country, arc now suffer
ing the combined miseriev of penury and ncgltct.
A few weeks since a mendicant appeared in a
village m Vermont, pale and emaciated, and con*
tilscd with spasmodic affections, brought on, to
sit appearance, by an irritation of wound- receiv
ed in the battles of our Independence. The ma
ny and deep scars with which his skull, and breast,
and arms, wore disfigured, evinced that the trage
dy of our Revolution had been to him no blood
less drama. He asked not for the means of pam
pering appetite. Ilis face bespoke him an hon
est and a temperate man. lie begged only, for
humanity’s sake, a pittance to support nature (ill
Xic could reach his few surviving friends further
north. It was an affecting sight to see an old
n%an —-'a veteran of that sacred war, (in which he
bad lost three sons)- beggiog alms to aid him on
to the spot, where, in n. wretched hovel which he
could call his own, ho might put up his last praj er
for his ungrateful country, cover his face with his
tattered mantle, and die.
And thou hast seen, thou say’st old man,
The Lion in his ire,
When from his strained and blood-shot eye.
Flash’d out vindictive fire.
And thou hast heard, old man, thou say’st,
The terror of his roar,
That echo’d ’mid our mountain rocks,
Au'td rang along our shore.
And thou hast stood tmblencliingly
Hi* gristly front before—
\\ hen carnage wav’d her dripping wing,
And drenched the earth with gore.
Oo l help thee, father, for the world
Isjiittiless and cold—
Tt sheltcreth not the shelterless,
Rev ere th not the old.
Ay, it can gaze upon the fronf, j
That battle’s stamp hath scal’d;
And leave unfill’d the withered Italic^
Tdo weak its Lbulc to wield.
Why left they not thy welt’ring corse
On Bunker’s stnonking steep—
When through thy brow the death shot plough’d
That furrow broad and deep /
0‘ why on Yorktown’s crimson plain
Didst thou not yield thy breath ?
JTar better had that bloody sleep
Been the long sleep of death.
Then hndst thou bled as Warren Ulsd*
And like Montgomery died—
Thy name been chronicled among
The heroes of our pride.
Qo<l give thee, father, words to beg~m
Choaking with shame— thy food;
Those scars proclaim thy country’s weal—
Those rags her gratitude.
WISCELUNY.
The following liberal notice of our
Country is from the Loudon Chron
icle of April 20:
,“The Americans have already
produced several public men of ele- *
voted character. It will he long
before England produce a Washing
ton, a Jefferson, or a Madison, single
minded virtuous men. Such a until
could not exist as a public character in
England. In reading the memoirs
of Jefferson, which present to us the
spectacle of a nmu breathing only
Jove and regard for his fellow crea
tures, seeking only in power the
moans of giving effect to his large
and philanthropical views; and re
tiring from power uncorruplcd, and
with unabated zeal for all that is no
ble and pure—we perceive at orjee
that such a being could not obtain
influence in England.”

The character and design of tins popular peri
