, BEAUTIFUL INSCRIPTION,
Written extempore on vising a family Burying
Ground—romntkeU, fouated in the State of
New-Turk, 1797." "
By John DUNN, Efy M. P.of Dublin.
i}^ ° dreary vault, no aweful tomb,
^ - Here warns you of tieJife to corner
" ut happy (hades and.circling bowers•
Adorn'd with ever-green, and flowers-^
Vc wise approach serenely gay
fools only shun the fated svay,
™'b r ""' i°y y° ur f oot ft e eps tend,
Wheretvery wanderer's course must end.
Leath $ fhudow pass'd the spirit flies
"On Angels wings through crystal Ikies,
Up to the ever living throne,
Where Mifcry forgets its moan.
Where Pit, Rows unmix'd with'tears,
Hope beams, without renewed fears;
'Fhe artlf no fedu&ion proves,
And the beloved object toes. f
There fpirks glow with brighten'd firct,
Expanded thoughts refin'd defircs,
The springs of life feel no decay,
AND LIFE IS ONE UNCLOUDED DAY.
THE MORALIST—No. 344.
Reflations in a Grave Yard.
Uere rathe lift stage of life's journey : Here
fs the collective rendezvous of fufferingmortals;
here is a fafe retreat from the barbed Ihafts of
malice, from pointed perils, and from misery's
rod. Here, after noble and ignoble views ; after
every ardent wish 1 after pursuing every Mat
tering object, we find the issue of them all.
Here, from servile bondage,and oppression b iron
hand, rests the wretched negro, whom chance
has made a Have : Here he forgets his galling
state, and with his lordly tyrant sleeps equally
accommodated. Here the oppteffor and the
injured, moulder together. Here sleeps the
meanly saving, and the riotous profufe. Here
prostrate in dull, lay the degrading relicks of
Soaring mortals! Remember then the tran
sient vision of terrcftial greatness, and a& so as
tube prepared to pay the momentary loan of
Heaven's great Lender ! !!
The MEIJLEY?— No.i 14.
A curious accouHt'of a wild man.
Tie following relation, concerning a wild man,
though but little known, is well authenticated. —
Ike account is trarfl.de Jf^ a work publfbcd at
Paris, by M. Le Roy.
"TN the year 1774, a savage or wild
JL man, was difeovered by the fliep-
Leids, who fed their flock in the
neighborhood of the sorest of Yuary.
This man,who inhabited rocks that lay
near the sorest, was very tall, covered
with hair, like a bear, nimble as the
Hifars, of a gay humour, and in all
appearance, of a mild clrata&er, as he
neither did, nor seemed to intend harm
to any body. He often visited the cot
tages, without ever attempting to car
ry off any thing. He had no know
ledge of bread, milk, or cheefc. His
greatest amusement was to fee the fhecp
running, and to scatter them, and he
testified his pleasure at this fight by
loud fits of laugh ter, but never attempt
ed to hurt thole innocent animals.—-
When the ibepherds (as was frequent
ly the case) let loose their dogs after
him, he fled with the fwiftnefs t>f an ar
row Ihot from a bow, and never allow
ed the dogs to come too near him.-^
One morning he came to the cottage
of some workmen, and one of them en
<deavored to catch him by the leg ; he
laughed heartily, and then made ms cf
eape. He seemed to be about thirty
years of age. As the sorest in question
is very extensive and has a communi
cation with vast woods belonging to
the Spanish territory, it is natural to
suppose that this solitary, but cheerful
creature, had been loft in his infancy, 1
'and had fublided on herbs.
Her Highness the Lady Protedrefs Buona
parte, has expected her surprise at the, opposi
tion her falhions, and those of her husband,
meet with from the belles of London. “No •
sooner ffays (he) did toy husband steal the Roy
al Diadem and put it in his pocket, but the En
glish women left off pockets altogether. No
sooner sod 1 left offmy cbemife, than the English
women would wear 'nothing else!
In a placenot more than 30 miles from ZWhn,
arefpea able gentleman lately expressed his wish,
to have a collection of all the Eulogies, Orations,
and excellent productions which the melanchol
ly event of General WASHINGTON's death
had called forth.—" Iv if you bad," observed a
member of a certain, disorganizing party," and
that they were boiled into a Jbnp." —" Do you,"
rejoined the gentleman very modestly, “ thenfo
do I,for they would make an excellent purge, Colonel,
for a Jacobin." [Centir^l.]

On Sunday morning about half io o'clock,
the inhabitants of this town, most of whom had
assembled at the federal boufes for public wor
ship, were alarmed by a fire, which had taken
place in a house in School-Street, occupied by
Mr. William Work. Although it had gained
fy great a height as to ruin the inside of the
house, yet the activity of citizens, with the en
'gincs, which are managed with great judgment
and effect, the fire was got under without de
ilroyiog the outside, wholly wood and old.
The fire was communicated, it is feppofed
by a child, to a rooro, occupied by a joiner, and
