And the o6ld dropi of Fear from my forehead to

1 ask'd it of Wealth, hut in vain!
For with her dwelleth sorrow and care,
Confin'd in her large “ golden chain!”
Which all her proud subjects unceasingly wear,
Till her wings are ontstretch'd and they sink in

I ask'd it of Pleasure——*h no!
Nljjpiiw her bright drapery shine,

i Which stripp’d of its beauties would quickly de

I ask’d it of IFtns and of Mirth-

Tboogh sparkling so bright upon earth :
For I saw through the glass that the daemon de

To prey on the bosom of all human kind.

Her ladder soon crumbled to dust,
And oppression had chain’d her below,
While the dart of Oblivion aiming to thrust,
Denouncing its'sentence, the bubble soon burst.
I ask’d it of Friendship, and found
Her promists sweet and sincere !
She told meTierjoys would abound—
But ah! how deceitfulthey soon did appear,
For she stabb’d to the bosom and chill’d me with
fear.
Os Solitude —fain would she soothe j
But ah ! she was bom but to weep,
The billows of ocean were smooth,
Compar'd with the visions that troubled her sleep,
As she lay on the rock, or reclin’d on a steep.
Riximoir—to you for support
I must turn with a penitent heart,
For the day of probation is short,
Thy wings will secure ine from misery’s dart,
And yield a delight when in death I depart.

CONGRESS.
One of the first subjects which will en
gage the attention of the next Congress, is
the -apportionment of Representatives ac
cording to the Census jnst completed. This
is one of the most important on which they
Can at any time act. The Constitution, in
stead of limiting the number, has left it al
most entirely discretionary, only having
provided that not moTe than one shall be
sent for 30,000 inhabitants, and that every
State shall bq at least entitled to one Rep
resentative. We believe it would have
been wi-e to have limited the number to
two hundred. We know of no single ad
vantage attending a very numerous repre
sentation. It is said, to be sure, that the
more numerous the Representative body,
the better the. feelings and wishes of the
people are represented, but we believe,
generally speaking, with the increase of
numbers, there is a proportionate decrease
of talents. The larger the district, the
greater the opportunity to select competent
and distinguished talents. It is also said a
large body cannot be corrupted, hut a small
body may. We believe the fact, however,
uniformly to be, that a large body are more
easily influenced than a small one. The
late Convention in our State must speak
conviction to every mind, that such numer
ous bodies are unfit for publick business. If
Congress were as large, they would have
to sit the year round, and then could not
finish their business. We have seen how
little they now effect and if we do not wish :
that little less, we must guard against its
growing to a Council of five or seven hun
dred. The saving of expense to the nation,
between a House of two, and one of five
hundred, would be immense. But this is
of no consequence, compared with the effi
-ciency and wisdom of the body. A Home of
two hundred would act with wisdom and en
ergy —One of five hundred wonld drag on
its sluggish course in a SDail’s pace and ef
fect little or nothing.
If we hearken to the small States, and ap
portion the Representation so that they may
retain their present number, then we shall
at once have a large house, too large for
our country. The present number requir
ed for a Representative is 35,000. If Del
aware is to retain her two Representatives,
then there must be one for every 36,000.
If however we take one from Delaware. &
still attempt to preserve two io Rhode Isl
and, then there must be one for every
41,000. The only course to keep the
house in due limits, is at once to disregard
the effect on the small States, or the frac
tions in any State, and march boldly to a
rate proportionablp to onr growth as a na
tion ; and that rate ought not to be less
than 45 or 50,000 for a Representative.
Nor bave the small States a right to com
plain, for their immense power over their
population in the Senate should satisfy
them.
The Congress that signed the declara
tion es Independence consisted of but 37
members.
The congress that formed the Confedera
tion consisted of 48.
By the Articles of Confederation, the
States were placed on an exact equality;
every State eeuld send from 3 to 7 at their
option.
The First Coagress under the Conatitu-
The Third Congress, being apportioned
under the first Census, at one Representa
tive for 33,000 consisted of 105.
The Eighth Congress apportioned at one
Representative for 33,000, according to the
second Census, consisted of 144.
The Twelfth Congress, apportioned un
der the third Census, at one for 35,000,
consisted of 187.
The relative standing of the States under
the several apportionments since the Con
stitution, will be better understood in one
view.

but the Census not being completed in all

this number in each column of the table

LATEST OF LA FAYETTE.
FROM THE CHRISTIA.Y SPECTATOR.
The following is an extract from a letter da
dated Paris, April 25th, 1821.
My Dear Friend: We have just returned
from a visit which has given us much pleas
ure. This you will readily believe when I
ell you it was to the Marquis de La Fay
ette —a name which will ever be dear to
Americans, associated as it is with that of
the Father of our Country. We were re
ceived by him with the kindness aad court
ly affability for which he is so much distin
guished. Although he is now approaching
three score and ten, yet higait and motions
have the sprightliness and agility of a man
of thirty, with the exception, however, of
a slight lameness in one hip, occasioned by
a fall. He is quite tall, being full six feet,
if not more—firmly, rather than elegantly
built—large, but not corpulent. His up
right figure, broad shoulders, and prompt
manner, shew that there is still something
of the soldier left. He has fine hazle eyes,
to appearance entirely unimpaired by age,
alternately flashing with the fire of intelli
gence, or softening into the mild express
ions of kindness—projecting eyebrows, a
high long nose bordering upon aquiline & j
yet rather -fleshy—very fine teeth and a i
healthy countenance.
His dress was entirely unornamented, and ,
without any badge of nobility, consisting of
a short grey surtout with covtred buttons,
a white vest, blue platoons, his linen be
ing without ruffs, and his cravat carelessly
tied in a single knot. His residence is very
respectably, yet plainly and characteristi
cally furnished; and the room where we
were, was decorated in a manner a little
calculated to flatter our vanity. On one 1
side of the door bung the Declaration of’
the Rights of French citizens, as establish-!
ed in ’B9, exhibited on a single sheet, and
set in n plain frame; on the other side of
the door, was the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, similarly executed and framed;
and at a little distance from this, was a fine
print of Caeova’s statue of Washington,
which I had recently seen at Rome. In re
which he speaks quite well, that he thought
it very good, abating for the artist’s desire
to make it as perfect a piece of sculpture as
possible. He showed us, however, a has
relief in gold upon (he lid of a snuff box,
which he said he considered the best like
ness he had ever seen of the “General,” as
he familiarly called him. They both bear
a strong resemblance to those we common
ly see in our country, and that on the box
was very like the one in the “ Washington
Family,” with which you are familiar.
The Marqni* manifested considerable in
terest in the affairs of Naples and Piedmont,
and made several inquiries concerning
them, observing, however, that their be
haviour had shewn them unfit for a better
government. To a friend, while convers
ing on the conduct of America to her revo
lutionary soldiers, he remarked, that Ae hud
no reason to complain of ingratitude, and
that the estate he now enjoyed was the
fruit of her generosity. During the era of
vicissitudes and troubles in France, his own
possessions and those of his lady were con
fiscated, and he was left almost entirely
without resources. Through the instru
mentality of Mr. Jefferson, then our Envoy
at the French Court, valuable and saleable
lands were allotted to him by government
for his services. With the avails of these,
be purchased back a part of his wife’s pat
rimonial estate, the Chateau of La Grange
Blessneau, upon which he lives in retire
ment and comfort during the recess of the
Chamber of Deputies.
Os this body he is at present a member,
and, associated with Benjamin Constant,
he has*a controlling influence in the oppo
sition. The opinion which the royaKsts
entertain of his importance here, is mani
fest from the strenuous and determined ef
forts they made, during the last election, to
keep him out of the House. But, greatly
to their mortification, he was elected from
two departments at the same time, so that
one seat yet remains vacant inconsequence
of this struggle.
Perhaps there is no man of eminence in
France, now living, with the exception of
Talleyrand, who has passed through such
vicissitudes, of almost every kind, as La
Fayette. But, while Talleyrand has safely
wormed his way through, by cunning and
duplicity, La Fayette has stood, like a mon
ument consecrated to political virtue, which
all have been afraid to violate ; or, rather,
like an immoveable rock, around which
revolutionary tempests have raged in vain,
and their billows fallen harmless at his
feet.
IMFRISONMENT TOR DEBT.
The following article, (says the National Intel
ligencer) which appears in the shape of an adver
tisement in the Columbia (S. C.) Telescope, is
respectfully submitted to the opponents of the
enfranchisement of the honest debtor; and, we
should like to see an answer to the argument it
presents against that system which America is
about to set the example of abolishing. If we
mistake tirtt, the imprisonment of our own cit
izens for debt, which there has been no fraud in
contracting, and which they hare no means to
pay, will ere long be looked back upon as a bar
barity which had no claim to respect but its anti
quity.
To my Creditors.
Whereas, by process of law, 1 am now confined
in the jail of Fairfield district, unable to extricate
myself from embarrassments, to which, in the lot
of humanity, we are all subject, I have taken
this method to give veßt to my feelings and reflec
tions, in the hope that those on whom my enlarge
ment from these gloomy walls depends will take
my situation into consideration, and grant that
relief which is consistent with the best feelings of
our nature, and the soundest policy of a creditor.
The latter part of our Revolution is still in my
memory, and it is a subject of some consolation
when I reflect, that, in the glorious scene of Lit
tle York, in Sept. 1781, (if my recollection serves
me) I was one of the number who participated in
the honours of that day. Ido not mention this
boastingly, for my services were a free will offer
ing to my beloved country, and I acted from the
impulse of my own feelings. My republican sen
timents since that time are known to all my
friends. 1 have with pleasure viewed the rising
greatness of these states, and welcomed the hon
est emigrants to our shores, who are now partak
ing of the blessings which my arm assisted in gain
ing. But, O! how sad to look aronnd on my
own little domestick matters! While many of
these men, who came after our struggle, have ris
en into opulence, I am confined to the walls of
a prison, in the land where liberty is emphatically
said to dwell; debarred from any exertions for my
helpless family or myself, and. doomed to pine in
solitary and unfruitful inaction ; while the infir
mities of advanced years, brought on prematurely
by many days and nights of exposure in the tent
ed field, and often on-duty in the pitiless storm,
with nothing but the canopy of heaven for my
covering, are fast increasing upon me. Without
the lenity and indulgence of my creditors, my
helpless family must inevitably suffer. Although
the present situation of my affairs has a gloomy
aspect, if my creditors wbuld indulge their hu
manity, and grant a suspension of their different
claims, I should not feel the least dread in mind,
or doubt, that I will be able to meet each"and
every one of them, and settle their respective de
mands against me with punctuality and justice.
I leave the whole to the direction of my friends
and creditors. E. JAMES.

Lies. — Mr. .Cobbett, in a letter addressed to
Mr. James Cropper, of Liverpool, on the subject!
of East India sugars, relates the following story as ‘
a specimen of lie-telling:
“ Friend Jacob had a rich ship at sea, and there j
were great fears for her safety. He had not insur
ed soon enough. He went to friend Isaac Io in- i
| sure. The policy was to have effect from the
next day at three o’clock, if then signed by
friend Isaac. Before the hour arrived, friend Ja
cob had heard that his ship stranded! and
he was afraid that friend Isaac (who lived a little
way out of town) wonld bear of it too, before the
hour. There be sent his clerk, .(equally friendly)
with this message : “ Friend (paac, friend Jacob
i bids me tell thee, that he has hfard from the ship,
I and if thou hast not signed the policy, thou aaeed
] est not do it.” Friend Isaac, who had not signed
’ the policy, but who, taking it for granted that
hearing from the ship meant hearing of her safe
’ ly, told the clenk that it was past three, and that
; he would step into his parlour and fetch the policy ,
which he did, having first clapped his name to it,
: and dried the ink. Now ‘here was a lie on both
sides. Yet, nut in words; for friend Jacob And
heard from the ship; and it war past three o’clock,
and Isaac did go and fetch the policy. The ter
The above incident did actually occur in the
city of New York, a few years since, as many liv
ing witnesses can testify. - I
Receipt for the Gravel.— The excruciating snf-1
ferings sustained by persons afflicted by the gravel
in the kidneys, &c. induced me to communicate
a rtmedy which has, in numerous instances, af- i
forded relief. , |
This remedy was first discovered, and its effica- 1
cy tested by Dr. Williams, a late eminent physi-;
cian in Virginia. He had for several years snf- 1
sered extremely by the gravel. As an experi
ment, Dr. W. put a small quantity of the gravel •
which he had voided, into three wine glasses— |
one containing gin, a second containing a solu-,
tion of lime, (lime water) the third glass contain
ing pure strong coffee. After waiting a few days, l
on examination, he found that the gravel depo-1
sited ih gin, was not in the slightest degree alter-!
ed—that depisited in lime water; appeared a little :
softened—that deposited in strong* coffee, was
reduced to an impalpable powder.
Encouraged by this experiment, Dr. W. inline- 1
diutely adopted the use of pure strong coffee, not,
mixed with sugar, milk, or any other ingredient, j
In a short time he voided gravel reduced to sand, I
with little pain, and was relieved.
The above important facts were stated to me ;
by a respectable physician, who has administered
this lemedy with similar success. H. C.
Valuable Receipt for extracting poison from
the wound of a Rusty Nail. —Take a Bean, after
splitting it, apply one half (flat side) to the
wound, bind it on, let it remain till it comes'off
itself, and the poison will be extracted, and the
wound healed. Experience)
Our correspondent speaks only of the pro
perty of the Dry Bean. We are informed
that in its green state also, the bean possesses val
uable qualities; by rubbing it upon the common
wart, the juice will more certainly and speedily
.-eradicate it than any process and witchcraft ever
practised. [JVeicarA Messenger.
The membrane or isner skin of the common
hen’s, egg, if applied to a contusion or bniise, will
in a few hours restore the bruised part to a heal
thy state; effectually preventing the extravasa
tion of blood, which would otherwise remain un
sightly for a long time. The skin will adhere like
court plaster if applied immediately after the egg
is emptied.
Not many tyears ago a gentleman lately from
Scotland, called on Mr. H. at bis seat near Wil
, mington, Del. for whom he had some letters.
While walking in his garden abounding in excel
lent fruit, the latter observed, that show him what
be would, his guest insisted he had seen muckte
better in Scotland. Determined however to sur
prise him, he privately ordered his servant to tic
some gourds on a pear tree, whilst they were at
dinner When the cloth was removed—“ Now
sir,” said Mr. H. “I think I can show you some
thing you never saw in Scotland and taking
him to the tree, he asked the astonished Scotch
man what he thought of that. “In truth, sar,”
quoth he, “they are varra fine piers indeed ; but
1 thiak I have seen full as large in the Duke of
Argyl’s gardens, though I must e’en confess that
they had -na quite sic tang nocks.”
George Barrington, the notorious pickpocket,
in a quarrel w.ith a celebrated piano forte player,
rebuked his adversary by remarking, “that he
had as light a finger as himself, and could draw
out notes front flats is the dark, and that was
more than he could do!”
There is now sojourning at Brighton, a gentle
man ninety two years of age, who was never be
fore ten rr.ileo from London, and who, it is said,
; frequented an inn in Bishopsgate-street daily, for
i upwards of fifty years; and at which, it is fur
: ther reported, he latterly allowed himself five bot
, ties of port wine, per diem, and that upon calcu
, lation and proof it appeared he had actually drank
; at the abovementioned bouse, no less a quantity
I than 35,609 bottles, or 57 pipes of that genersus
! and genial juice ! *

A person in New York being posted, agreeably
to law, as an habitual drunkard, appealed, and
was acquitted by the jury, on the following ver
dict—“ That they did not consider a man an ha
bitual drunkard, unless he was drunk more than
half his time .'—that no evidence bad been given
in, to shew that this had been the case.”
The other evening, (says the Philadelphia Ga

guests on going to the entry for their bonnets, ,
