Relics of the fallen brave!
Tenants of an honor'd tomb!
Conscious pride exalts the wave
Whose swelling bosom bears you
home.
Ocean hails you, gallant fouls!
Now once more his realms you
end’s;
And each billow as it roils,
Moans ar anthem for your loss.
Glory’s hale binds your brows,
Immortality’s your shroud,
-Vhile our love, like zephyr, blows
From your disk of fame, each
cloud.
Adoration warms the clay
That was cold on foreign bier—
Our best fiicrificc wc pay,
’ i is the silent, griet-fwoll’n tear.
Sons of Glory! Mighty Dead !
W Iconic to your parent land;

OLIVE R HAZa R D PE R RY,
Who by nis late brii iaiu achieve
ment on Lake Erie, has frcured to
himfelf the proudest niche in the
I'emple of Fame, is the ddeft foil
of Christopher Raymond Perry Esq.
formerly of Newport, Rhode Island
but for lome months pall i ieli

ed his naval career about the year
1798, as a midfhip.iun, and l< rved
in that capacity a conlidejable ti •
on board the Gen. Greene, of 32
guns, commanded by his Fath< r,
and employed principally on the
liavannah Ration. On the reduc
tion of the Navy in I SOI, many
officers were thrown out of the
service; but young P rry, notwith
standing the comparative inactivity
of peaceful times, perseveringly
continued in the profellion he had
chosen, palling through the vari
ous grades of promotion until we
find him in the winter of ihio n,
E’-utonant and commander of the
Revenge schooner, attached to
Commodore Rodgers’ squadron,
which wintered that ieafon at New
London. Here he was continual
lv under the eye of that able and
•; p’ilhed officer, and received
from him a full share of tiiat con
fidence which he so eminently mer
ited i misfortune however, o
vcrtock him while on this Ration.
The Revenge, in returning from
Newport to New London, in thick
weather Itru.k ori Watch-hill reef,
an*, went to pieces; but the crew
were al lav> and, with moft of her ar
mament As is usual on such oc
casions a Court ot Inquiry was in
hibited to investigate Lieutenant
Perry's conduct on that ailair, and
the rcftilt v.as a moft honorable
acquital.
Lieutenant Perry was afterwards
invvfted with the command ot the
United States’ flotilla at Newport,
where he continued until fungi- time
after the declaration of tfie present
war, when he was appointed with
‘he rank --i mafler and commander,

BURNING TO DEATH.
The shocking instances of fe
males having been burnt to death,
renders the knowledge of a difeov
ery lately publiflied by fir Richard
Philips, in the Monthly Magazine
for their total prevention of *hc
| htgheft consequence. He deducts
* from the principle of the afeenuon
i of flame, that ladies ought to lie
| down as soon as they difeover their
clothes on fire; that the progress
of the flame will by that means be
instantly checked and may be easily
and deliberately extinguished with
out any fatal injury, as usual, to the
head, face, bofoin and throat. He
pioves his principle by the follovv
. ing experiment; he took two ft rips
] of printed cotton, a yard long, and
! on lighting one of them at the lovv
! er end holding it perpendicularly
’ it was conlumed to a cinder in a
filth of a minute, and the volume
of flame was so great as to rife two
feet. He then lighted an exadly
similar piece of cotton anu laid it
hoiizontally on a pair of tongs, so
as to lie hollow, and in this fiiua
tion it was five minutes burning,
and the flame at no one time af
cer.ded an inch in height, and
might have been extinguished by
th-- thumb and finger. This plain
and easy experiment ought to be
read in the preftnee of the females
of every family.
