THO’ the Roses may boast of their bright
vennil hue;
When array’d in the gems of the morn ;
Yet the R <se tho' bedeck’d in the luctdess
dew,
Contains in its bosom a thorn.
Eut in thy gentle brcatt, placid peace shall
repose,
Nor the sharp thorn of care ne’er invade ;
As lively, as lovely, as bright as the Rose,
tut not in such armor array YL fi.
The following letter is copied from
the last number of the Medical Repos
itory of Nevv-York. for February, March
and April. It gives u» pleasure to see
that the* sages of France are doing jus
tice to the illustrious Jefferson, and that
his eye is ever fixed upon the advance
ment of the science*. The Federalists
who some months since attempted to
Sneer at him for making this coutiibu
tion to the national institute, and to twist
it into a new evidence of his love for
France herself, gave only a proof of
their own censorious disposition. They
seemed to have forgotten the sublime
truth, that science knows no country—
that the race of s igen is co-extensive
with civilized society—that every man
ofg nius is a member of this illustrious
brotherhood—its interest he is bound
to advance—that mind owns no distinc
tion of artificial circles of the earth—
and that the same philtmirophy which
Jed the court of Versailles to respect and
convoy the voyages of Cork, in the
midst of a war with Grcat-Britain—has
led our countrymen to send a curiosity,
which we have to those who want it.
They forget besides.. that he was a
member of the institute of Fi ance, and
that the same objections would not have
been made to this act, if he had not
be< n a fellow of the Royal Society of
London.— Richmond Enquirer .
Th anslation
Os the count tie Incept de's letter to D. B.
Warden , t Jfc. concerning the Fossil
Bones, presented to the National Insti
tute by the President of the United
States , dated Paris, Isf. September,
1801.
Sir — l hastened to communicate to
the institute, in their sitting of Monday
last, the letter which Mr. Jefferson was
plealted to address, and which you had
the complaisance to deliver to me.
The institute, penetrated with grati
tude for his new mark of interest, which
its illustrious member has - manifested,
Ins resolved that an expression of
th mks shall b« solemnly addressed to
him by its p'oper oflv ers. Ii has also
engaged me to testify to \ir. Jefferson
the value it attaches to his attention.
The institute has decided, that the fos
sil bones and other objects of natural
history. Which Mr. Jefferson has had
the goodness to put at its disposal, shall
be placed in the museum of natural his
tory ; the Only place where the public
can conveniently and usefully examine
this fine present of Mr. Ji ffvrson.
In consequt lice of this decision of the
institute, 1 shall immediately make
known to my colleagues of the museum,
what you have communicated T 8 me,
sir, concerning the arrival of these
bones ; and as they came by the river,
from Havre, and are, by their nature,
susceptible of being injured, perhaps
you may think proper to debark them
at the bridge of Austerliz, at the north
ern Rate of the garden of plants, across
which these precious objects can be ea
sily transported to the apartment des
tined for their reception.
Accept, sir, the new assurance of all
the sentiments you merit, as also the re
ncwal of my thanks for all that you
have been pleased to communicate to
Die.
I have the honor to salute you,
Count de Lacjepeds.
Monsieur Harden, Secretary cj the
American Legation.
P* S. I shall have the honor of sen
ding to you, according to your permis
sion, my answer to your illustrious
President.
A siorv is at present in circulation
which contributes greatly to amuse the
Ladies and Gentlemen of the haut ton.
After the late investigation in the House
oi Commons a certain illustrious Per
sonage was having a conversation with
the Licit under his protection, on the
subject of withdrawing the bond by
which she holds her annuity, and of al
lowing her the sum in another way—
whereupon the Lady tore off the bot
tom of a play-bill, which happened to
lie* on ht*r table, and presented it to her
cher ami, who, on perusing the scrap,
found it to contain the following lacon
ic sentence—•• No money to be return
ed after the curtain is drawn up."
