•if* ( ourl of Afiollo. te? Mr. Dougherty, The following Song, com posed in Celebration of Ihe evacuation ol New-York, by the British, on the 2,5 th November, 1783, was ta. ken from the American Ci. listen, and appears in the Aurora of the 9th uitimo, Fleale give it a place in ,your paper, and you will confer a favour on all ’76 Patriots, Fame let thy trumpet sound, Tell all the world around, America is free; Tell Germain, ‘North and IJute, And every other brute, Tyrannic George wont suit Our liberty. Triumph forth in joyful “sound, From camp to camp resound, Washington’s tame; His feats spread far and near, That friends uiid foes may luar, And Britain’s Clinton fear, Washington’s name. A glorious race is rnn, The immortal Washington, To make us free, He vanquish’d ail our toes, Cornwaliis and tfhe Howes, And ali that dare oppose, Our libetty Let George send cut throats forth, From east, from south and north, We’ll lace them all, Villains notorious, Never shall conquer us, Confound them all. Cet Sawneys round him wait, And jaekies guide in state, To slavery; Tell them o’er and o’er again, America scorns their chain, AH'their vile arts are vain, She will be free. The bloody George ir. vatu, May forgo a stronger chain, The deed is done; A greater George than he, Lias set America free, be v OArge Washington. The thirteen linked chain, In union will maintain, ’Till time’s no more; Behold the tv rant frown, bee under foot his crown, We ’ll chain the monster down, To rise no mure. (Additional Verses, written ly a Subset Her for the Patriot. J Columbia still is free, And ne’er shall slavery Oppress her more, Tier states United see, In Peace and unity, And glorious liberty Pervades iter shore. ’Tbo’ there is a stir, Os i reason and ol Burr, All is nought! Around this happy land, J’atrtots firmly stand, And form a valiant band, Not to be bought Our hardy mountain boys, Detest the glittering toys, Os Monarchy. Great Washington is dead, But not with luui liaib tied, Or blood in van: been shed, For God-like liberty. ’Moung Columbia’s honest sons Are a thousand Washingtons, To fight urdie. And united to a man, Treason’s deeds will scan, To deleat its murd’rous plan Against our liberty. Ikvoc .\txon to Health. Come,, thou lovely, blooming maitt. Thy genial influence impart; Come, m rosy charms array’d, To ease an anguish’d heart. Sweet are the aromatic flowerr, That summer strews around the plain, And sweet’s the gently falling showers, The soft descending rain. Sweet the beauties of the grove, The silent, shadowy retreat, Where silvan swains their notes of love, On oaken retds repeat. But what are groves Sc bloom ing flowers, Or song* that sorrow’s self be guiles? But what are soft descending showers, Without thy cheering smiles? In vain for me creation blooms, In vain for me from opening flowers, On Zephyr’s wing the sweet perfumes Come floating thro’my bowers. The gentle streams meander, In silence through the wood, Alot g their hanks I wander. And gaze upon the flood. But all 1 once delighted, Looks desolate and drear: I grope like one benighted, Till thou, O, Health, appear. Not showers to larks so pleas ing. Nor sunshine to the bee/ Not sleep to toil so easing, As thy dear smiles to me. THE hvptial funeral. An Historical Fragment, from a German Chronicle. On a ileep mountain, sur rounded by extenlive woods, is lituated an ancient calllc, long the relidencc of the counts of Dachau. Here lived an aged and venerable mo iher, the laR defeendant of that illustrious family. The counts of WafFerthan fen were their near relations; and ;he vicinity of their manli* on facilitating a mutual inter’ cotirfe, paved the way for a Bill more Britt alliance. The young countess, their filter, was promised in marriage to the young count Dachau.— Brought tip together from their childhood, their infantine friendfhip had long changed into ardent love. The molt magnificent pre parations were made to cele brate their nuptials, during the fellival of Chriltmas. Tqe preparations being com plete, the count of Dachau, m his nuptial dress, accompa nied by his attendants de feended into the valley at the foot of the mountain, to meet his future conlort ; but the flow progress of his train iil-ftiking the youthful ardour of the count, he set spurs to his spirited courier, and was loon (o far advanced into the woods, that it was impossible for his attendants to hear his voice. On a sudden lie u v as attack by a troop of robbers, and after fome ulelefs efforts, is disarmed and wounded. Deaf to ail his prayers, they com plete their crime; they Brip him of his rich dress and coltly jewels; an emerald ring, the pledge he had received from his mill refs, and which (he gave him when she consented to be his bride, not being esly u> get from his finger, the bar’ barians cut off his hand; then cove; ing his body with fome earth, they fly with precipita tion, taking with them the hoileof the unfortunate count. 111 the mean time the inten ded bride, accompanied by her two brothers, and follow ed by a fplendtd cavalcade, arrirei at the cattle* where a numerous company are al” fern bled. Mutual congratula tions pass on the auspicious oc casion of their meeting* The mother, melancholy un * easy at not feeing her son, ex perts him with impatience. She Fen els the pages and fervantsto feel; him; a little dog, belong ing count, follows them, feenting every buffi, as if anx ious to find his mailer. The supper being served up in the great hall, the Cheva liers & ladies take their places at the table; but no cheerful* nefs nor gaiety is there. A me lancholy silence and heavy looks bespeak the presentiment which pervades every bosom. The intended bride cannot contain her fighs*—her bosom heaves with unutterable an* guifh, her necklace burßs— the pearls roll upon the table. At these ominous signs, the terrified gueffs rife from their feats—the coverings are all re’ moved—they wait in dreadful l'u(pence the arrival of the count. A boilterous wind (hakes the firs that crown the mountain, and roars through all the courts of the caffle— whirlwinds of fnowrufh from the rocks into the vale- The [form at length ceales; the clouds disperse, and the pale light of the moon appears—- they hear; they hear the fright ful fereams of the funeral birds! The young bride conceals her beautiful face. Adieu for ever now to joy and peace! The found of a horn is heard —the draw bridge is lowered, the servants and pages preci pitately enter, as if pursued by the phantoms of night. All the company approach the la. dy Dowager and her intended daughter in-law, who silently addrefling their vows to Hea. ven, await in fearful conster nation the dreadful news. At this moment a mournful and plaintive cry draws their at tention to the door; they be hold a little dog, who running to the mother of his mafier, drops at her feet something bloody, which he licks with a piteous moan. Alas! it was the hand which the assassins had cut off, and dropped in their flight. The venerable mother and the lovely bride, perceive the emerald ring, and fink life Id's on the floor. At this figlu the Chevaliers all take their arms, and fol lowed by the servants of the caltle, enter the wood, and traverse it on every fide. The faithful dog runs before them, incessantly moaning. Hetra. cesthe foot Reps of his mailer, they wander thus about an hour, when the dog suddenly Bops at a heap of earth, which he endeavours to (cratch up. 1 hey dig the earth which ap pears recently laid; they difeo ver the naked Sc mangled bo dy of the count. The Che valiers take off their mantles; they wrap the body decently in them—they place it on one of their horses—then taking the plume from their hats, and the servants & pages tearing from their clothes the tibbands and other ornaments of the day, they forrowfuliy refutne the road to the cattle. Not a voice is heard— not.a found to interrupt the naelenchoiy pro* cession. The company that had seen the nuptial train of the late happy bride, now advance to meet ths funeral cavalcade. I ne priefls deicended to the foot of the mountain to re ceive with due lolsmnity tne body oftheir lord, He is en tcred in the vaults of the church in which his ancelfors repole; and with him is extinfcl the an cient family of Dachatl. So vanished all the honors ofanceftry! So fled the bright efl tcredial profpefcts! to the chilcllefs mother and the wi* dowed bride, all on earth is now defoiate Sc dreary- Grief long holds her melancholy sway—but piety at length pre. vails—and faith points to those celefiial feenes, where fufler ing goodness will at laR be hap py. Wrapped in mourning, and prolfrate at the foot of the altar, they renounce the flat tering vanities of the world for ever.
