.‘.N OCCASIONAL ODE.
OF ?.U that live, and move and
breathe,
Man only riles o’er his birth ;
lit lo- ks above, around, beneath,
At once the heir of heaven and
earth :
Force, cunning, speed, which Na
ture gave
The various tribes throughout
her plan,
Lite to enjoy, from death to save,
ihefe are the lowed powers of
Man.
From strength to flrcngth he trav
els on,
He leaves the lingering Brute
behind ;
And when a few (hurt years are
gone
He fours —a diferr.hodied mind :
Beyond the grave, with hope lub
lime,
D dined a nobler course to run,
f hts career the er.d of l ime
Is but Eternity begun !
V/bat guides him in his high puvfuit
< )pens, illumines, cheers his v:ay,
i) < rns the Immortal front the
Brute,
Cod’s image front the mould of
clay ?
‘i is Knowledge: Knowledge to
the Sou!
Is Power, and Liberty, fc Peace;
And while ctch.-dial ages roll,
The joys ol Knowledge (hall in
ert afe.
Hail to the glorious Plan! that
spread
’Phis light with unive-fal beams,
And through the human desert ltd
I ruth’s living, pure, perpetual
dreams.
B Hold anew Creation rife,
Nt w spirit brrathed into the clod,
Where'er the Voice of Wisdom
cries,
* Man, know Thyfelf, and fear thy
COD!”

WASHINGTON, (Geo.) —SAT TRDAY, JANUARY 16, ISUJ.
But Hull, betwixt finoking and

Dilpatch’d f;ri proud frigate Guer

Such treatment to him, was a won

And, when to the bottom our thun

Had sent her, we laugh'd at the joke.

So well he can fi.itfh the lob.

For time, there v.as none tc delay,
Indeed it must terribly bet Iter,

IMPROMPTU.
Britannia, f:ck of many an ill,
Sees various plagues await her:
Now finds another bitter pill.
Prescribed by one Decatur.
Let her go on and foil contrive,
To make the world all hate her;
Her venom we fhali (till survive,
While we have one Decatur.
‘Then let’s maintain the fuilor’s right
And not one inch abate her;
Wc need not dread her force or spite
With Hull and with Decatur.
