POETRY.
“Ao I veep no wore.
“ Pour on f I viil endure .” Lear.
Spring hath it* flower*—ill hours of bloom,
It* balmy air* of odorous sigh ;
A while they shed their sweet perfume,
A little while—and then they die.
And when for e'er that hour hath fled,
And wintry *t< rms the day obtcnre.
When rag’d (he tempest, still I said,
“ Pour on 1 # will endure.”
Vo nth hath its pleasures—brightly beam
On fancy’s eye life’s flowery ways 5
And Lore, and Hope, and Beauty’s gleam
Enchantment then# on distant days.
Tet haie I teen those prospects fade,
Though youth had deem’d the promise sure 5
And ’midst the wreck of Feeling, said,
“ Pour on ! I will endure.”
Man may he happy—i have known
When pleasure’s cup I freely quaff’d,
When Joy’s bright sunshine round me shone,
Untasted Sorrow’s bitter draught.
But deadly persecution sped
tier poisonous shaft with aim too sure,
My heart hath wither’d—yet I said,
“ Pour on 1 1 will endure.”
Life is a shadow—soon the aun
That casts it to the earth shall set,
And man—a few brief glasses run,
His joys and sorrows shall forget.
Yet there is hope, when life has fled.
Os blissful realms and pleasures pure ;
And in that hope through life I’ve said,
“ Pour on 1 I will endure.”
SPRING.
When brightersims and milder skies,
Proclaim the opening year.
What various sounds of joy arise !
What prospects bright appear.
Earth and her thousand voice* give
Their thousands note* of praise ;
And all who by hi* mercy live,
To God their offerings raise.
Forth walk* the labourer to his toil,
And <ces the fresh array
Os verdure clothe the flowery soil.
Along his careless way.
The *tre.,ros all beautiful and bright,
Reflect the morninc sky;
And there with luusick in his flight
The wild bird soars on high.
Tims like the morning, calm and clear,
That saw the Saviour rise.
The spring of Heaven's eternal year
Shall dawn on earth and skies.
No winter there, no shades of night,
Profane those mansions blest,
Where in the happy fields of light,
The weary are at rest.
MISCELLANY.
BATTLE OF TRENTON.
The ftdloving description will probably be new
to most of our reader*; Its vivid detail*, alho’
extracted from a work of Gction, qre, we believe
agreeable to the troth of his'orv, and relate to one
of the most momentoo* events in our country’s
history. An event that revived the drooping con
fidence and cou-age of those who fought and 1
prayed for our cau*e, which had before assumed
an appt arauce almost desperate. Boat. Spec.
The night was intensely cold, und we i
*ie delayed many hours longer than had [
been anticipated, by an accumulation of ice
iti'Se river. And here, if you would get
it good notion of the countenance of Wash- j
mg'oo at this time—the most eventful and
Irving moment of his life, I would recom-j
wend ih.it you study a picture jut painted
b’ Mr. Sully, of Philadelphia, upon this l
subject. He has been singularly happy—
and when I recollect the face of Washing
lon, as he reined up, for half au hoar, with-!
in pistol shot of me, it appears to me that j
some man mud have painted it, who was;
with <l* at that time. Before we came!
down to the ferry—there wan an awful so- i
lemnity, darkness and repose in il. But J
there, when in sight of the troops, as they
were severally embarking, every man of
whom, as long a* the face of their Com
mander conld be seen, even after the boats
had put ofl', kept his eye upon it, it was
full of a -loftier, more animated, youthful,
and heroick expression of encouragement
bdH confidence.
You have heard of General Knox, then
Colonel—and ofbi* stentorian voice. I as
sure yon that no justice can be done to him
or it; my ears rang for a fortnight after, at
- the same hour of the night ; and do yet,
whpn 1 remember how he galloped about,
dismounting every five minutes, and lifting
. up his own artillery, like a giant. He was
“jfs'!laHt fellow—full of blood—with all
thr hionl, strong New-England hardihood.
Add Greene, too—he was there—-the only
man of atl oar armies, capable, I believe,
in rase of any disaster, to lake the place of
tV-, ; biqgton: there he sat, fH of deep re
ligious composure,—his broad forehead
fronting the fires that were kindled near;
the place of emhatkation.
At last, though not until three o’clock in
the morning, we were fairly landed upon j
the Jersey shore, and by five, bad taken I
” up nor line of march.
Our whole army passed softly, nnd silent-’
ly by two or three officers posted upon the
read ide, continually waving their swords, 1
with a motion, as if to enjoin the most death
like -'.illness; and deathlike it wns, for
nothing could be now heard but the
bt-jifVing of horses, a jolting sound bow and
then in the wet snow where the artillery
wagon*, and gun carriages cul through into
l-he grout M—and a general rush, as of deep,
heavy water.
Ate moment* after, a troop of Virgin
ian* under Captain Washington, (afterward
so distinguished at the south,) paraded in
beautiful style through the heavy snow,
and br'ui>?ht us intelligence which tended
to accelerate <>or march Before his arri
val, we had hoped (as I afterwards found,)
to surprise the eoemy at Trenton, while
yet overpowered by (be festivities of (he
preceeding nights—and make this morn
ing sleep, the sleep of death—but now
that hope was abandoned, for Capt. Wash*
ington had encountered bis picket, exchang
ed a few shot, and left him prepared for
what, it ia remarkable that he had heard a
vague rumour of—our intended attack.
Yet this very affair, which, at first, threat .
ened to be so disastrous, the frolick of Capt.
Washington, was probably the chief reason
why we succeeded in surprising the enetpv
at last; for, as that was not followed up.
he retired to quarters, after waiting a re*
sot-able time, as we afterward found, think
ing the whole a Virginia row.
Our troops were oow thrown into divi*
ions.—We were separated from our fathei
—who was detailed uuder Sullivan and St
Clair, to take the river road—While ive.
under Washington himself, Greece, Morn-,
and SleveDts, pushed onward through wb*t
is called the Pennington road.
A few moments afterwards—-just while I
thought my heart had lost its motion en
tirely—for I felt, in looking about me,
and seeing the dark array of substantial,
but Doiseles* creatures, horses and wagoos
—as if the whole army were an apparition
—a cavalcade of dead men—marching from
one place of burial to another: I heard a
shot so near tne, that my horse leaped out
of the rank. This was followed by a loud
cry—two or three words—a volley—and
then shot, as if a line of sentinels, sleeping
upon their post, bad suddenly started up,
one after the other, tired rff their pieces
and run it.-.
Our advance were well furnished with
bayonets—and they immediately charged
upon the picket, and we dashed after them,
trampling them to death, with our horses,
riding over them like a whirlwind without]
speaking a word or firing a shot. This was
scarcely done, when we heard the firing of
the other division, at the opposite, quarter
—so admirably timed had been the arrange
ment —and we immediately galloped into
the centre of the town, horse and foot, tie
termined to ride the enetny dawn, or bayo
net them before they had time to form.
Washington was dreadfully exposed. Thp
first picket, thinking this a second attack of
the same little skirmishing party, that had
fired into them before, neglected to give the
-alarm:—and the outposts, (though they
fought most gallantly, retreating step by
step, behind the bouses, disputing every
inch, and presenting their bright bayonets,
without a dash of powder, wherever we
rode in upon them—so that we conld not, i
with all our-cutting and spurring, force our
horse* upon them—and then, the moment
that we faced about, blazing away upon us,
& running to the next house) —were driven
in.
At lal we had an opporiunity for fair
play ; the Hessian* were formed and form
ing, the whole line glittering with bayo
net*. A Iremendou* struggle wa* going on
at our right, under the very eye of Wash
ing'on, with the enemy’s artillery, which
was taken, when, with a troop of horse,
Archibald rode down, his cap off, bis sword
flashing, like a fire brand, in the light and
; smoke ofthe mnqiietry —‘charge! charge!’ i
he cried—‘charge! my brave fellow*! and
! provoke therr. to lire.’ Another troop!
Another! and another! thundered down,
from the right and left, hu! with no effect
a* all upon the invincible Germans—tl.e
front rank kneeled all aronnd—while the
re*t were forming and presented their bay
onet* without firing a shot.
* Ry heaven !’ said Archibald, shouting as
if his heart would break, to Captain Wash
ington— ‘ i will try them again!’ And, as he
said *o, he rode full speed, *0 near that it
appeared Io roe that he conld have struck
the enemy with his sword—and tired hi*
; pistol in their faces! Our front rank fob
I lowed the example—and the next moment,
! all the Hessians brought their piece# up to
I their cheeks, and poured a tremendous vol
] ley in upon ns—l saw my father fall—Ar
thur reel in his stirrups —but Archibald, a#
if prepared for tbi* very thing, shouted,
‘ wheel and charge !’
‘Wheel and charge!’ repeated a hand
red voices in our rear— ‘ wheel and charge!’
We obeyed—and Ihe snow flew—and the
9words flashed—and the next moment, a
hundred of the enemy—the whole of his
front rank was trampled to death before i>a<s*
twenty human heads rolled upon the ground,
among the feet of our hor*es.
The infantry under Green poured in vol
ley after volley, at the same time; and
Kuos, having brought round hi# light fi*ld
pieces to bear, a* if they had been blunder
busses, played in upon them with an uniri
terrupted roll of thunder and smoke.
It was impossible to stand it—no human
being could have endured the hurricane of
fire and bullets longer. They threw down
their arms—about one thousand men in all;
and then it was when it was necessary to
move about the quieter operations of strife,
j that we began to feel the intense coldness
]of the night, the keen air cutting into our
■ new wounds, like rough brokea glass.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
| As the office of President of tbe United
1 States has been recently bestowed on this
gentleman, we have thought a brief sketch
,of bis life would not be unacceptable. Tbe
following account is, with some curtailment,
copied from a paper published in tbe State
of Maine.
John Quincy Adams was bora at Brain
tree, Massachusetts, July 11, 1765. In the
j eleventh year of bis age, 1778, he accom
, panied. his father John Adams, late Presi
’ dent of tbe United States, to France, the
! father being joint commissioner with Dr.
Franklin aod Arthur Lee, to (bat Court.
After residing about eighteen months in
France, he returned home with his father,
tin November, 1779, tbe father of Mr. Ad
ms was again sent to Europe, with a com
mission for negotiating peace, aod a treaty
of commerce with Great Britain. He again
1 took his son J. Q. Adams, with him. They
arrived at Paris after a t&snslrous passage,
and the son was put to school in that city.
And when it became necessary for the fa
ther ‘0 go to Holland, in pursuance of his
official duties, he took his son with bitn, &
first placed him in a publick city school in
Amsterdam, afterwards, at a suitable time,
ut the university of Leyden. InJuly, 1781,
the son, as private Secretary, accompanied
to St. Petersburg!) the late judge Dana, who
had been appointed Minister Plenipotentia
ry to the Emptess of Russia. He remained
vith Judge Dana about fourteen months,!
when he left St. Petersburgb to rejoin his
father in Holland. The father was, on the
arrival ot the son in Holland, at Paris, on
ousiness relating to his commission. The
son, however, remained at U 9 Hague.
The father soon rejoined his son, and in a
hort time after they both went to Paris,
The definitive treaty was signed in Septem
ber, 1783: and they both resided togeth
er ia England, Holland and Fiance,"until
1785.
The father was appointed, abont this
time, minister to the court of .St James;
anti the son returned to this country. Alter
preparatory studies he was admitted a stu
dent at Cambridge University, where he
received the degree of Bachelor of Arts, in
1787.—After completing his collegiate, stu
dies, be commenced the reading of law in
the office of the late Theophilus Parsons at
Newhuryport, and at the expiration of the
usual period allowed for acqumng a law
education, aas admitted to the bar in the
Courts o( the State, and commenced lb**
practice in Boston.
He remained in Boston about four years,
during which time his professional practice
was inconsiderable. His attention wa
j chiefly engrossed hy political subjects. In
the summer ol 1791, he published a series
ol numbers in Ihe Boston Cen'inel, und>-r
the signature of Publicvla. Ho also pub
lisheda few numbers, in the same paper,
under the signature of Marcellus. The
latter were nt much nolic- and, and are now
consigned to oblivion. But his subsequent
papers, in the support of Washington’s pro
clamatinn of neutrality, attracted a large
share of publick attention, and were popu
lar, as they comported with the sentiments
of a majority of the people of this country,
at that time.
In 1794, he was appointed minister re
sident 1© the United Nethet lands. When
this appointment was made his father was
V. President, and it is said to have been as
i unexpected to him as to his son, but with
what authority we know not.
From 1794 to 1801, John Q. Adams was
in Europe, successively employed as a pub
lick minister, io H illetid, England and Pros
sia. He was, while in Europp, nominated
hy Washington, as Minister Plenipotentiary
to the Court ol Lisbon : but at the accession
of his father to the Presidency his destina
tion was changed and he was appointed min
ister to the Court of Berlin.
He remained at Berlin from November,
1797. until 1801 ; and during that tune coo
eluded a treaty of commerce with Prussia.
He was then recalled, and arrived in Phil
adelphia in Sept 1801, just before tbe com
menceinent of Mr. Jefferson’s administration.
In 1802, he was elected member of the
senate of Massachusetts, and served in that
capacity one year- He was then elected
a Senator of the U. States lor six years
from the 4lh of March, 1803 But when
the embargo question came before Congress
he advocated the measure and thereby be
came noxious to tbe legislature of the state
which conferred upon him his station. He
resigned his office as Senator in 1808 ; his
reasons for so doing are to be found in a let
ter which he addressed to the late Gover
ooor Sullivan, of Massachusetts. In March,
1809. he was nominated by Mr. Madison for
a minister to Russia, hut no vole was taken
on the nomination. He was however, in
August following appointed Minister Pleni
potentiary to the Emperor of Russia, the
office before designated for him.
Such are the pi'iunp-d political events
in the life of Mr. Adam*, until his partici
pation in the negotiations of Ghent, and his
subsequent appointment to the office ot Se
cretary of State.
Hi* publick literary career embrace* ihe
period, during which he held the office of
Boylston Professor of Rheterick aod Orato
ry in the University of Cambridge. His
lectures are before the publick, and are
generally considered as hippy specimens of
learning and taste.
Died, io Ihe city of Richmond, on the
26th nit, in the 68lh year of his age, Wil
liam Galt, Esq. a native of Scotland, and
for many years extensively and favourably
known in Virginia. Mr. Galt was a very
rich man, and what was still better, a very
benevolent and good one. The two ex
tremes of his life were as strongly contrast
ed by the extremes of poverty and wealth,
a* they were by vigour and decay. He em
igrated to Virginia in 1775; be commenc
ed trading with a pedlar’s pack; he died in
the enjoyment of a revenue of $40,000
per anonrn. In 1775, he had not his “six
feet length” of soil— in 1825, he could ride
fifteen mile* rectilinear on his own grounds,
the broadest and richest bottome of Jamea
river. When he begun, be was an outcast
on a foreign shore—when ba ended, huod
reds of humao beings called him master,
and he moved the attractive centre of a nu
merous, respectable, and devoted circle of
friends and acquaintance. When his ca
reer commenced, few, perhaps, knew him,
or cared to know him; before it closed,
numerous children called him god father,
and hundreds attended his remains to their
last abode. . -
He gat rich as a little stream swells ioto
a mighty river. His industry and attention
exacted tribute from all that came within
their sphere of action ; while his frugality,
like the Mediterranean, retained all that
ever passed in. Yet he was parsimonious
only to bimsplfj hh benevolence, like the
evaporaliona of the same sea, falling on and |
fertilizing many who were worthy and nee
dy around him. He lived an example to]
the poor how to become rich, and to the
rich an example how to employ riches.
He died, as he had lived, having taken Ihe
best care to secure to hitnself good treat
ment in the next world, by embracing reii
gion and practising its precepts. He is said
to have estimated hi* estate, a short time
before his death ut $750,000. As he al
ways erred, when he erred at all, on the
sale side, we may probably add Io this
$250,000 more. Tina large property was
made by unsuccessful and splendid specu
lation, but by first rt taking care of pence,”
and then of pounds. Latterly it nccumulat
ed with tbe rapidity ol a heavy substance
approaching the centre of gravity, and fifty
years more in the same hands would have
bought out the Slate of Virginia, bag and
baggage, land*, tenements, and heredita
ments. The force of early habits was nev
er more powerfully exemplified (ban in the
case of the deceased ; be stuck to his early
habits of care, simplicity, and frugality, to
the last, and no doubt with the warmth of
a first attachment. There was no differ’
ence, (we are credibly informed,) between
Wm. Galt the poor and Wm. Galt the rich—
an admirable character this. He lived and
died a bachelor.— Whig.
Anecdotes of Dr. Samuel Johnson. —ln March
1754, came out Lord Boliugbroke’s works, pub
lished by Mr. Lev id Mallet. The wild and per
nicious ravings under the name of “ Philosophy,”
whioh wt-re thus ushered into the world, gave
great offence to all well-principled men. John
eon, hearing of their tendency, which nobody dis
puted, was roused with a just indignation, and
pronounced this memorable sentence upon tbe
noble author aid his editor :•’ Sir, he was a scoun
drel and a coward —a scoundrel for charging a
blnnderbuss against religion and morality ; a cow
ard, because he had no resolution t<> fire it off him
self, but left half a crown to a beggarly Scotch
man to draw the trigger after his death !”
He said No honest man could be a Deist; for
no man could he so after a fair examination of the
proofs of Christianity.” 1 named Hume. “Sir,
Hume owned to a clergyman in the bishoprick of
Durham that he had never read the New Testa
ment wiih'attention.”
When asked if Foote (celebrated for his hu
nour) was not an infidel, he replied, “ I do not
know, sir, that the fellow is an infidel; hut if he
be an infidel he is an infidel as a dog is an infidel!
that is to say, he has never thought upon the sub- I
ject.”. I suppose, sir, he has thought superficially ‘
and seized the first notions that occurred to his
mind “ Why then, sir, still he is like a dog,that
snatches the piece next him. Did you never ob
serve that dogs have not the power of comparing ?
A dog will take a small bit of meat as readily as a
large, when both are before him.”
Mr. Laugton one day asked him how he had
acquired so accurate a knowledge of Latin, in
which I believe he was exceeded by no man of his ■
time ; ht said, “ My master whipt me very well. 1
V) ithout that, sir, I should have done nothing.— |
While flogging the boys he used to say, ‘ This I
do to save you from ihe gallows.’” Johnson,up- 1
on all oocasions, expressed his approbation of en
forcing instruction by the rod. “ I would rather
(said he) have the rod to be (he general terror cf
all, to make (hem learn, than tell a child, if you
do thus, or thus, you will be more esteemed than
your brothers or sisters. The rod produces an
effect which terminates in itself. A child is afraid
of being whipt, and gets his task, and there’s an
end on’t ; whereas by exciting emulation and
comparisons of superiority, you lay the foundation
of lasting misery ; you make brothers and sisters
hate each other.”
When Johnson saw some young ladies in Lin-1
1 colnshire, who were remarkably well behaved, ‘
owing to their mother’s strict discipline and severe*
correction, he exclaimed in one of Shakespeare’s
lines a little varied,
Rod, I will honour thee for this thy duly .”
