F POETRY.
I
I The following tribute of respect was written by
i Ir. S. Graham, a young roan in Amherst acad
roy, at the grave of his deceased friend, N. R.
iRAT. We are gratified to learn that Mr. Gra
'tun is preparing a volume of poems for press.
The moon shines sweetly on thy lonely grave,
Departed friend of my unhappy days !
Vnd thou—whom neither tears nor prayers could
save,
Art all unconscious that my spirit strays
Around thy solemn m.osion, and betrays
ts sorrows to the midnight hour, and weeps
AVhere no cold eye offends roe with its gaze,—
Where no dark foe in lurking envy creeps,
And on my brow his bitter malice heaps !
O! thou art gone! and 1 am still alone,
In this sad world of melancholy care!—
Thy gentle spirit happily has flown
From the thick ills it was not form’d to bear!
Falsehood and fraud and treachery and despair,
Detraction’s poison’d tooth, and causeless hate,
And all the withering agonies that tear
The generous heart, and constantly await
Him whose warm hopes and feelings all arc deso
late.
O! thou wert once ray lone associate,
And held’st communion with my every feeling;
And though thy sympathy could not abate
My sorrow, yet thy tears were often stealing
In silence, from thy generous heart—revealing
Thy kind commiseration of iny fate,
And soothing the deep wound, whose only
healing
Must he in death!—for heaven did ne’er create
A heart more kind than thine !—How transient
was thy date!
Yes ! thou hast fled and left me like an oak,
Upon whose dead liiuhs nothing green will grow!
Riven and blighted by the thunderstroke,
Not e’en the ivy nor the rnisletoe
Clings to its desolate trunk !—and thus ia wo,
My persecuted spirit,—though not broke,
Is blighted by oppression, and the blow
Which aim’d to sacrifice, did hut provoke
A soul, which will net bend to custom's servile
yoke!
O, blessed God ! this is a world of trial
And suffering and sorrow : and the heart
Is doom'd to bear its cross, and the denial
Os ail its warmest hopes—the hitter smart
Os outrag’d feelings, and the poison’d dart
Os busy malice!—Thou alone cast know
The wrongs which we endure, auj canst im
part
The only solace to our wasting wo !
Have I not suffer’d all that man can bear below !
And have 1 not deserv’d it from thy hand ?
But not from man’s! I have not done him
wrong!—
Before thy bar, I all unworthy stand;
But have I merited the loiter throng
Os persecuting passions, which have long
Pour’d out their rage on my devoted head,
Ar.d with a hate implacable and strong,
Upon my name their angry venom shed,
And hunted all my steps with stern ami steady
tread!
And all because I lov’d mankind too well!
And blest them with an overflowing heart, i
And lov’d to see them happy—and to dwell
On hope’s fair prospects.—and to tmise opart j
broil, the thick bustle of life’s busy mart,
On greatness and on glory,—till the thrall
Os many wrorlgs came o’er me with a smart I
Which agonized my soul, and turn’d to gall.
The things which once were sweet!—O God ! j
forgive them all.
MISCELLANY.
From the Village Record.
Extract from notices of the several princioal
American and British Officers engaged in
our Revolutionary War. j
Washington has already been described
so often, that his whole appearance must
t>e familiar with our fancy. 1 cannot, how
, ever, pass by so imposing a figure entirely
unnoticed With a person six feel two in- j
chps in stature, expanded, muscular, of ele- j
gant proportions, and unusually graceful in j
all i's movement* —his bead moulded to r-!
sernble the Grecian antique ; features suf
ficiently prominent for strength or comeli
ness—a Roman ooe and large blue eyes,
deeply thoughtful rather thao lively—with
these attributes the appearance of Wash
ington was striking anil angu*t. A line com
plexion being superadded, he was account
ed when young one of the handsomest of
men Rut his majesty consisted io the ex
pression of his countenance, much more
than in his comely features, his lofty per
son, or his dignified deportmebt. It was
the emanation of his great spirit through
the tenement which it occupied.
Maj. Gen. Greene in perron was rather
corpulent, and above the common size.—
Hi-complexion was fair and florid—his
countena|C'miferene and mild, indicating a
goodness which seemed to shade and soften
the fire and greatness of its expression. His
health was delicate, but preserved by tem
perance and regularity.
Gen. Sullivan wa9 a man of short stature,
well formed, and active—his complexion
dark—his nose prominent—his eyes black
and piercing, and his face altogether agree
able and well formed.
f*en. Wayne was about the middle size,
with a fine ruddy countenance, command
ing port, with eagle eye. His looks cor
responding well with his character, indica
ting a soul noble, ardent and daring. At
this time, he was about 32 years of age, a
period of life which perhaps as much as any
other, blends the grace of youth with the
majesty of manhood. In his intercourse
with his officers aod men he was affable and
agreeable, and had the art of jommuoica
ting to their bosoms the gallant and chival
rous spirit which glowed in bis own.
The Marquis de la Fayette was one of
the finest looking men in the army notwith
standing his dpep red hair, which then, as
now, was rather in disrepute. His fore
head was fioe, though receding—his eyes
clear hazle—his mouth and chin delicately
formed, and exhibiting beauty rather than
otrengtb. The expression of his counte
nance was strongly indicative of the gene
rous and gallant spirit which animated him,
mingling with something of the pride of
conscious manliness. His mein was noble ;
bis manners frank and amiable; and his
movement!) light and graceful. Ho wore;
his hair plain, and never complied so fur’
with the fashion of the times a* to powder.
I have lately furnished you with a short
sketch of the principal characters of the
American army. The most distinguished
of the British officers engaged in our coun
try should also have been noticed at the
same time and io a similar manner, had I
possessed the requisite information. This
I have since received, and shall communi
cate accordingly.
Sir William flnwe was a fine figure, full
sit feet high, and admirably well propor
tioned. In person he a good deal resem
bled Washington, and at a little distance
might have been mistaken for the Ameri
can General; but bis features, though good,
were more pointed, and the expression
of bis countenance was less benignant.—
His manners were polished, graceful and
dignified.
Sir Henry Clintffh was short and fat,with
a full face, prominent nose, and an anima
ted, intelligent countenance. In his manner*
he was polite and courtly,but more formal &
distant than Howe,& in his intercourse with
his officers was ratlin* punctilious and not
inclined to intimacy.
Lord Cornwallis in person was short and
thick-set, but not so corpulent as Sir Hen
ry. He had a handsome aqueline nose, and
hair when young, light and rather inclined
to sandy ; hut at the time of his being here
it had become somewhat gray. His face
was well formed and agreeable, and would
have been altogether Sue, bad he not blink
ed badly with his left eye. He was uncom
monly easy and affable in his manners, and
always accessible to the lowest of his sol
diers, by whom he was greatly beloved.
With his officers he used the utmost famil
iarity. When busy in giving directions and
making preparations for a battle, be had a
habit of raising his hand to his head and
shitting the position of his hat every mo
tnent; by which certain signs, his men al
ways knew when to expect business. For
some days before the battle of Guilford
Court-house) the General was extremely
active, and hi? hat and bis hand were ob
served to he unusually agitated. The
whisper, “Corncob* has blood in his
eyes,” which ran through the ranks, show
ed that these indications were perfectly un
derstood.
Tarleton was rather belo-v the middle
size, stout, strong, heavily made, with large
legs, but uncommonly active. His eye was
small, black and piercing, his face smooth
and his complexion dark ; in the time of his
assuming the command of the troops, he was
quite young, probably about twenty five.
Col. Abercrombie, who afterwards gain
ed so much eclat in Egypt, where he fell,
was one of ihe finest built men in the army
—tall, strait and elegantly proportioned
His couulenance was strong and manly, hot
his face was much pitted by the small pox.
When here he appeared to be about forty
* He was thus nicknamed by his men for hav
ing fed them, when reduced to straits, almost
wholly upou corn.

NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS.
This may at first blosh appear somewhat j
paradoxical, hot upon the smallest iovesti
g-ation the mystery al! vanishes. Most men
•are rather dissatisfied at reading’ a newspa
per unless it afford- therri some very inter
estiog and important intelligence: bat let
us consider a moment: Does not ninety
nine out of a hundred of this kind of intelli
gence, consist in the calamities of our fel
low creatures? and if so, no nevvs is com
paratively good news.
The boiler of a steamboat bursted, and !
out of 100 passengers 15 were scalded to j
death. A vessel foundered at sea, or bilged I
on the rocks; the men on board perished, |
or perhaps one or hvo saved, but suffered
amazing hardship; men robbed and mur
dered ; a house burnt; a town laid in ash
es ; destroyed by an earthquake or a violent
inundation; thousands perished and ruined.
A battle between two armies with great es.
fusion of blood, hundreds, nay thousands
killed, wounded and taken prisoners: an
obstinate engagement between two ships, in
which one is sunk and (he other so disabled
as to le incapable of affording relief to the
few who have survived from the sinking
ship and are seen struggling with the wave !
What we usually call important news, is
generally calamitous, attended with wounds,
bloodshed, misery and death, and therefore
bad news. How beautiful is the order of
nature! The planets move iu their respec
tive orbits; the rivers in their channels,
and every good man in the way which na
lure and education has allotted him : no
man is robbed, no house is plundered, no
town burnt, no sound of the warriour and
garments rolled in blood, no remarkable
disaster befals any one. But then there is
a dearth of news, and the people feel unea
sy. Newspapers say they, are now a-days
not worth reading. But let us put a proper
construction on all events and we shall find
that n* news is good news, because we are
then to suppose that harmony arid good for
tune pervades the world.
When the printer finds none of these ca
lamitous materials to fill his paper with, he
graces it, if he be a judicious man, with ex
tracts and pieces, politicks, husbandry, bu
siness, trade, or morality with now and then
a sketch of wit and humour which serve to
exkilirate the spirit*, inform the under
standing, reform the manners, or mend the
heart; which though it be no news, is high
ly preferable to bad news.
Col. Ethan Allen was a bold officer in the
American revolution. He could face the
enemies of his country with the most un
daunted bravery, and in the field of battle,
he never shrunk from danger. But he was
an opposer to Christianity, and gloried in
the character of an infidel. His wife, how
ever, was a pious woman, and taught her
children in the ways o t piety, while he told
them it was all a delusion. But there was
an hour coming, when Col. Allen’s confi
dence in his own sentiments would be close
ly tried. A beloved daughter was taken
sick—He received a message that she was
dying—He hastened to her bedside, anxious
to hear her dying words. “Father,” said
she, “ I am about to die : shall I believe in
the principles which you have taught me,
or shall I believe what my mother has
taught me?” This was an affecting scene.
The intrepid Colonel became extremely
agitated; his chin quivered; his whole
frame shook ; and after waiting a few mo
ments he replied, li ßelieve rvkat your mother
has taught you.” [S. S. Visitant.
A moistened eye will almost involuntarily tes
tily the leelir.g of the heart, on contemplating the
diguitied and generous conduct exhibited in the
following brief narration.— . Augusta Citron.
•Anecdote oj a benevolent Sailor. —Two brothers,
the on£ a carman, the other a sailor, had been
confined for misdemeanor same time in the king’s
bench prison. They applied to the court to be
discharged, but were opposed by the prosecutor.
The court directed the sailor to be released, but
the carman was ordered- to be continued in con
finement. When this sentence was passed, the
sailor addressed the court as follows :— 1 My lord,
my brother has a wife and seven children, who
starve while he is not a svorfeing. I have neither
wife nor child ; if your lordship will be so kind as
to let birr go, and permit me to stay in gaol for
him, I shall be very much obliged to your lord
ship.’ I.ord Man-field immediately called to the
prosecutor’s counsel to say, ‘ Whether, after such
a speech as this, he could press for the confine
ment of cither of .he men.’ The counsel replied,
’ I should be ashamed to do it.’ Upon this his
lordship told the sailor, he was a benevolent fel
low, and that he and his brother should both be
discharged ; which was accordingly done.
Profaneness of the Slage. —The following quo
tation from an unreptaled statute of the reign of
James 1. providing punishment for the use of pro
lane language upon the stage, shows in what light
a practice so prevalent, and considered of so tri
fling importance at the present day, was then re
garded.
“ It is enacted, that if, at any time or times, any
person or persons, do, or shall, in any stage play,
interlude, shew, May-game, or pageant, jestingly
or profanely, sjjeak or use the holy name of God,
or of Jesus Christ, or of the Holy Ghost, or of the
Trinity, which are not to be spoken but with fear
and reverence, he or they shall forfeit for every
such offence, ten pounds, one moiety thereof to
the king’s majesty, and the other half to him that
shall sue for the same.”
In 1701 Betterton and some other actors were
indicted and fined under this act.
A case is now pending in one of the courts of
Vermont, which will probably issue in the ruin of
one or both of the parties. It originated in an ac
cusation against a boy for stealing a small article
from a school house. It has been continued from
one court to another until the cost has amounted
to two thousand dollars! Letter to “ leave off
contention before it be meddled with.”
Arabian Nigh's. —lt is well known that Gal
latid’s French translation of the collection of “A
thousand and one Nights,” from which the ver
sions into other European languages have been
made, was so imperfect as to contain only a smali
number of tho-e celebrated tales. The publick
therefore will learn with interest that a translation
is in considerable forwardness in England, of’hat
part of this collection which has not yet appeared
in an English dress, from a complete copy of the
original, which the eminent oriental scholar, Mr.
Von Hammer, of Vienna, was fortunate enough
to obtain during his diplomatick mission to Con
stantinople.
The North American Review has been proscri
bed in France. By a formal order of the govern
ment its title is inserted in the list of prohibited
books, and Ihe custom house officers are comman
ded not to suffer it to pass through their hands in
to the country. Booksellers are also forbidden
to have it on sale, and it is subject to be seized
when found in any person’s possession.
[Boston Daily Advertiser.
The Rev. Mr. Dunbar has, by a series of ex
periments in Scotland, ascertained that when a
queen bee is wanting for a hive, her majesty can
be, and is produced from the egg of a working
bee. In one experiment, having removed the
queen, the bees set about constructing royai cells,
and placing common larvae in them ; in seven
days two queens were formed. One of these kil
led the other; and though, while in a virgin state,
treated with no distinction whatever, she no
sooner began to lay, than she became the object
of constant solicitude and respect so crowds of
her admiring subjects, who fed and waited upon
her.
The “ Ritotufi'” ny Cock .”—We are inform
ed, that the beautiful and highly finished Wash
ington Hat, mounted with a revolutionary cock
ade, sent out by Mr. Hurley of New York, to
Gen. La Fayette, had been presented to him by
the American Minister, and was received with
much satisfaction. The friends of the General
were all anxious to obtain a sight of the “ Ameri
can Hat.” and his house was crowded with visit
ers, to whom he exhibited it with pleasure. The
workmanship was acknowledged by all to be of
the first order.— New York Statesman.

John Randolph Married ! —A Liverpool paper
of the 19th ultimo thus announces the arrival of
Mr. Randolph, oor distinguished and ecoentriek
countryman: “The Hon. John Randolph, of the
United States, accompanied by his lady, arrived
here on Monday last, in the packet ship Nestor.”
(O, fie! Mr. Randolph never was married in his
ife. How could they say, then, that he had his
lady with him ? This is absolute scandal.]
[Petersburgh Intel.
The grand jury of New York, among a number
of other nuisances, have presented the honoura
ble Corporation of that city as obnoxious to pub
lick censure ! It was fpr permitting the erection
of booths and dram shops aronnd the Park, for
the late celebration of the national birth day.
The grand jury say, that so “ long as our city
contains about 3000 dram shops, it is humbly he
; lie veil that the Erection of two or Ihret hundred
more, in the most beautiful part of the city, is not
necessary, even for those who wish to get drunk,
fight, steal, or pick pockets, in honour of the
day.”

Shaking Rands. —At a late duel iu Kentucky,
j the parties discharged their pistols without effect;
whereupon, one of the seconds interfered, and
, proposed that the combatants should shake hands,
i To this the other second objected as unneccessa-
I ry, for, said he, their hands have been shaking
this half hour.
