The Rose when it blushes alone.
THE bloom of creation, is charming to sec,
It) the spring, when tlie flowers are just
blown,
Bat the flower that has lieauties enchanting
to me,
Is the lions when it blushes alone.
The tuow-drop may spread its white form to
the eye,
And the Tulip, to changes be prone,
Tlie ganli nos nature has nothing can vie,
With the Hose v. hen it blushes alone.
The Lilly, I know is a sweet little flower,
When its maidenly beauties arc shown,
But it never can ravish the soul with such
power,
As tiie Hose, when it blushes alone.
Tlie Poet and Florist, may boast of their art,
While their pictures in emblem are thrown,
Tl'.erc is none ti.at enraptures the moralist's
heart,
Like tlie Rose, when it blushes alone
For the Fair who has beauty with modesty
join’d,
Mas charms each beholder must own ;
And cypress’ 1 by a metaphor aptly combin’d,
Is a Hose when it blushes alone.
EPIGRAM.
Adam alone could not be catty,
So he must have n wife an't please ye :
Bui how did he procure this wife,
To cheer his solitary life ?
Why from a rib cut off his side
Was form’d this necessary bride.
But how did he the pain beguile?
Elm. he slept sweetly all the while.
But when his rib ttas reapplied
In woman’* form to Adam’s side,
How then, 1 pray you, did it answer ?
lie never slept so sweet again, sir.
The moral Lessons of Nature.
AN EXTRACT,
While insects from the threshold preach,
And minds dispos’d to musing teach :
Proud of strong limbs and painted hues,
They perish by the slightest bruise ;
(I • maladies begun within,
Destroy more slow life’s frail machine ;
From maggot-youth thro’ change'of state
Tliev feel like us the turns of fate ;
Same born to creep have liv’d to fly,
Ynd change earth-cells fin - dwellings high ;
And some that did tin ir six wings keep,
ilefnrr they tlv’d, been forc’d to creep.
They politicks like us profess,
The greater prey upon the less ;
Some strain on foot huge ioails to bring ;
Some tod incessant on the \vl ig ;
And m their different ways explore
Wise sense of want by future store;
N >r from their vigorous schemes desist
Till death, and then are never miss’d
Some frolic, toil, marrv, increase,
\re sirk add well, have war and peace,
And broke with age, in half a day
Yield to successors, and away.
From the Pittsburg Mercury.
BATTLE OF PENNINGTON
This was a proutl day, said he, for
the poor Green Mountain hoys, yy ho
were yet sore with wounds they had
so lately received in the retreat from
Tv.* They could not so soon
the slaughter of their brethren, of
Col. Warner s regiment, who were al
most all cut ofl'at Huhbardstown. The
word came “ the enemy's coming,”—
the alarm flew like wild tire—every
limit left his plough or ax. some even
standing in the field, and “ determined
to light a spell*’—some with officers
nue some without—none was anxious
who should he commanded or com
mand : tlit‘ main object was to find good
positon, take sure aim tire away and
load again
Here he proceeded to describe the
order battle, &e. But the most striking
part was the colonel, who was ordered
by gen. Stark to reinforce with his regi
ment a part of one of the wings (hat
had sustained a considerable part of
the action, anil suffered much. The
Colonel inarched at tlie instant but
with a certain step peculiar to himself
—slow, firm, and steady. The whole
parish was in his regiment, and they
had brought with them their much
loved parson, without whose blessing
they could scarcely think themselves
in a xvay to prosper. The officer com
manding the corps to be relieved, fear
ing at every instant, that his men from
fatigue and loss would give way, sent
to hasten (he Colonel. “ Tell ‘em,”
says he, ‘’that we are coming;” and
kept his pace steadily on. This gen
tleman was at home, a deacon—wore
an old fashioned loug waisted coat,
with large pocket Caps, and herring
boned cuffs, and a three cocked hat, the
forepart something resembling the ban”
die of a pipkin, except that the extreme
part of it might have endangered the
eye of a mosqueto, had he run unguard
ed against it. A second express ar
rived, “ Colonel, for God’s sake hur
ry, my men arc beginning to fall back,’
—“ that will make room for us—tell
’em we’re coming,” keeping his still
unaltered pace, and phiz quite placid
and unconcerned. A third message
was treated just as cooly; when they
emerged from a eopice in full view of
the enemy, and several halls passed
over them; “ halt,” said the Colonel,
“ form column and let us attend pray
ers.” The chuplin was called and or
dered with all due formality to attend
to his duty, hut during the solemnity,
an unlucky shot wounded one of the
men. The Colonel now, for the first
lime, began to show some impatience,
for no sooner had the parson pronounc
ed, a men, than the men w ere ordered
to march. But still the Colonel kejq
his steady measured pace, until he had
taken the ground, in front of the poo r
fellows who w ere almost ready to leave
(he field, and but for the love of liber
ty, could not have kept it half so long.
“ Give it to ’em,” said the Colonel,
“ give it to ’em hoys,” us he stepped
along the rank, with the same unalter
ed pace and phiz, chewing his quid
which he now- and then replaced,oblig
ing those who stood next him with his
box. “ The Hessians are in front,”
said he—“ our wives and children in
the rear. Liberty’s the prize—we
fight for liberty.” This was enough ;
the more verbose eloquence of a Ro
man general himself could have done
no more.
The enemy pressed, hut pressed only
on their own destruction. We fought,
we bled, we conquered ; and the nar
rator said, lie did not doubt but tlie
cool, determined bravery of these few
raw militia, had a principal share in
deciding the fate of the day.

During one of the boisterous periods
of (he Athenian commonwealth, the
philosopher Heraclitus became melan
choly and diseonsolnte at the excesses
of the people and their visible degen
eracy into despotism. This gave rise
to a belief that he was mad; and the
famous physician Hippocrates, who re
sided at Abdera, was sent for at the
expence of (he public to cure him.—
Hippocrates having questioned his pa
tient, and for some days attentively
considered his cuso, a little before his
departure made a public and candid
declaration, that he found Heraclitus
to be the only man in Athens that had
his right senses about him.

Food and Raiment. —What services
are more necessary than those which
provide us yvit.i food and raiment?
If oilier wants and pleasures of life
could not be consulted, without a sacri
fice of these, no man could hesitate to
which to give the preference.

Til. Budget, p. 120
When the rapid and dreadful con
flagration happened on board the Boyne
a marine was peaceably sitting in his
hirlh with his wife and son, a boy a
bout twenty months old, just, beneath
tlie place where the misfortune began,
and finding every effort to escape tiie
llaiues in the ordinary way ineffectual,
the man, with the greatest composure
ami presence of mind, took from the
pens a sheep of the captain* live stock,
and bracing the hoy on the animals flee
cy back, dropped them into the sea.—
<There,’ said lie, ‘turn to the land,
and God go w ith you.’ Encouraged
by he husLands resolution, his wife
leaped into the brine, and the man fol
lowed after, supporting his companion
above water, till the boats arrived to
their assistance, when they were taken
up little worse for the venture. The
sheep, with the greatest steadiness was
seen making for the shore, with young
Bi n Bowline riding upon his back, like
an infant river-god, to the vast delight
of the spectators on shore, who from the
temlerest motives, finding themselves
interested in the hoys safety, rushed
into the watery element to meet the
young navigator, whom (hey presently
unsheeped, and succoured with tender
ness, till he again fell into the arms of
his adventurous parents. The singu.
larlty of this event attached the pat
ronage of a most liberal lady in ihe
Isle of M ight, who having prevailed
on the mother of the child to leave his
future fortune to her guidance, declar
ed, in the most friendly manner, ‘that
as the boy had begun his naval career
on a lamb, she would never leave him
till he was able to end it like a lion.’
