The following from the pen of Mrs.
Barbauld is richly worth a conspicu
ous place in the moral department of
yonr paper. A. B.
AN ADDFESSto-the DEITY.
Deus ^ ,uode„w Wes, fumun^ue umerim *
Lucan.
GOD of m, life ! and author of my days !
Permit my feeble voice to lisp thy praise ;
And trembling, take upon a mortal tongue
That hallow'd name to harp# of Seraphs sung.
Yet here the brightest Seraphs could no more
Than hide their faces, tremble, and adore.
Worms, Angels, men, in ev 'ry different sphere
Are equal all, for all are nothing here.
All nature faints beneath the mighty name
Which nature's works, thro ' all her parts pro
claim.
1 fed that name my inmost thoughts controul,
And breathe an awful stillness thro' my foul ;
As b, a charm, the waves of grief subside ;
Impetuous passion flops her headlong tide :
At thy felt pretence all emotions cease,
And my hush 'd spirit finds & sudden peace;
Till ev'ry worldly thought within me dies,
And earth's gay pageants vanish from my eyes;
'Till all my sense is loft in infinite,
And one vast objectfills my aching fight.
#— But soon, alas ! this holy calm is broke ;
My foul submits to wear her wonted yoke;
With shackled pinions drives to soar in vain,
And mingles with the dross of earth again.
But he, our gracious Master, kind, as just,
Knowing our frame, remembers man is dust,
His spirit, ever brooding o'er our mind,
lees the firfl wish to better hopes inclin'd ;
Marks the young dawn of ev'ry virtuous aim.
And fans the smoking flax into a flame.
His cars are open co the fufteft cry,
His grace defeends to meet the lifted eye;
He reads the language of a Glcnt tear,
And fight are incense from a heart sincere.
Such are the vows, the facrificc I give;
Accept the vow, and bid the suppliant live <
From each terrestrial bondage set me free ;
Still ev'ry wish that centers not in thee ;
Bid my fond hopes, my vain difquiecs cease,
And point my path to cverlaftiag peace.
if the foft band of winning plcafure leads
By living waters, and through flow'ry meads t
When all is foiling tranquil, and serene,
And vernal beauty paints the flatt'ring feeac,
Ob ! teach me to elude each latent snare,
And whisper to my Aiding heart—beware!
With caution let me hear the fyren'svoice,
And doubtful with a trembling heart rejoice.
If friendlefe, in a vale of tears I stray,
Where briars wound, & thorns perplex my way,
&till let my Ready foul thy goodness fee,
And with Grong confidence lay hold on thee ;
With equal eye my various lot receive,
Resign'd to die, or resolute to live ;
Prepar'd to kiss the Sceptre, or the Rod,
While God is ben in all, and all in Gob.
I read his awful name emblazon'd high
With golden letters on th' illumin'd fry ;
Nor kfs the myftie characters I fee
Wrought io each fluw'r, iuferib'd on ev'ry tree ;
In ev'ry leaf that trembles to the breeze
I hear the voice of Gon amorg the trees ;
With thee in shady foheude I walk,
With thee in busy, crouded cities talk ;
In ev'ry creature own thy forming pow'r ;
In each event thy providence adore,
Thy hopes shall animate my drooping foul,
Thy precepts guide roe, and thy fear controuf.
Thus shall I rest, unmov'd by all alarms,
Secure within the temple of thine arms,
From anxious cares, from gloomy terrors free,
And feci myfclf omnipotent in thee.
Then, when the laft,the closing hour draws nigh,
And earth recedes before my fwimmiug eye ;
When trembling on the doubtful edge of fate
1 flaud, and stretch my view to either state ;
Teach me to quit this transitory feene
With dhujuo^h, and a look serene;
Tcach^^^^hfe^ardent hopes on high,
And, in the THEE to die,

I AR from ffie mufe's academic grove,
'Taras hi, the vast and trackless deep to rove ;
Alternate change of climates has he known,
And felt the fierce extremes of either tone,
Where polar Ikies congeal th' eternal faow,
Or equinoctial fans forever glow ;
Smote by the freezing or the feerching blast,
" A (hip-bo, on the high and giddy mast,"
From regions where Peruvian billows roar,
To the bleak coasts of savage Labrador ;
From where Damafeus, pride of Asian plains!
Stoops her proud neck beneath tyrannic chains;
To where the isthmus, lav'd by adverse tides,
Athntic and Pacific fess divides.
But while he nteafur'd Cer the prinfal raft

Adversity. companion of his way,
Still o'er the vi&im hung with iron fwayl
Bide new distresses every instant grow,
Marking each change of place with change of
woe.
In regions where th' Almighty's chaft'ning haid
With livid pestilence affii&s the land;
Or where pale Famine blalh the hopeful year,
Parent of want and misery severe !
Or where, all dreadful in th' embattled line.
The hostile ffiips in flaming combat join ;
Where the torn vcffcl wind and waves assail,
Till o'er her crew distress and death prevail—
Where'er he wander'd, thus vindictive Fate
Furfuad his weary steps with lasting hate !
Rous'd by her mandates, storms of black array
Winter'd the morn of life's advancing day ;
Relax'd the sinews of the living lyre,
And quench'd the kindling spark of vital fire.

MILITARY CRUELTY-
Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, having
met with vary great refinance in besieging Nelfe
in Picardy, as soon as it was forrendered to him
ordered the inhabitants to be put to the sword,
the commanding officer to be hung upon the
ramparts, 'and the whole town to be set on fire.
Then looking at these attrocities with the greet
ed falfroU, he said to one of his attendants,
Tel fruit forte I'acbrc de la guerre. "Such fruit
deal the tree of war bear."
Louis XV, when before the walls of Men in,
in Flanders, was told, that if he chose to rifle an
attack, that place would be taken four daysfoon
er than it would otherwise be." “ Let us take
it, then," replied he, * four days later# I had
rather lose thofc four days, than on, one of my
fubjeas."
To the CITIZENS of the UNITED STATES.
When your beloved WASHINGTON,
THZ FATHER of HIS COUNTRY,died ! You saw
with increased sensibility the universe in tears!
Americans ! How did your bosoms dilate and
glow, when, at the firft meeting of your politi
cal fathers, following the melancholy event,yon
saw the call for a MONUMENT worthy of
the sublime virtues you hoped to perpetu
ate, universally applauded!
How then ,ellow countrymen, have ye
permitted two whole years to pass since the
noble and natural resolution was every where
individually formed ; and the traveller still to
ask in vain, Where i, THE NATIONAL
MONUMENT, sacred to Public end Private
Virtue ; to the manes of the illuhrioue WASH
INGTON?
Columbians! You owe to the wbrld, is
well as to yourfclves, an apology, or an expla
nation, for the myfterfbus delay of your ac
knowledged duty : Since nothing can be more
true, than that a mere 'difference of opinion,
refpeaing the form of the Monument, or the
mode of its elevation, is the sole cause To prove
this, let us agree at once to obviate all difficul
ty by uniting in a simple plan to accord with
the annexed, now in operation :—
TERMS of SUBSCRIPTION,
IV. Should the sum hereby colle&ed be
more than fufficicnt for a Monument or Mau
soleum, whatever the objc& of our refpea may be
called, the Truftecs are hereby requested to ap
propriate the surplus to increase the fund which
Washington began when in his last will and
testament he virtually laid the corner stone of a
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
111. To render the whole design as simple as
ma, be, three trusty and well beloved friends,
namely, Bushrod Washington, and John
Marshall, Judges in the Supreme Court of
the United States, and Benjamin Stpddert,
late Secretary of the Navy of the United States,
for any two of them, are hereby empowered
and requested to carry the whole design into
effe&, in such manner as in their wisdom may
be deemed most honorable to the memory of
Washington,
Tn a MONUMENT sacred to Public and Pri
vate Virtue, dedicated to GEORGE WASH
INGTON, to be ereSed in the City, bearing bh
name, by the voluntary contribution of citizens rs
the United States only, — The form, and inferip
tione, to be under tie entire direction of 3 Trtfeee.
I. These articles of fubfeription for a Monu
racut to WASHINGTON may be opened in
any diftri& or part of the United States, pro
vided that none but citizens be allowed to
fubferibe, and that no individual be allowed to
contribute in his own name more than one Eagle,
(or Ten Dollars) to this fubfeription fund.
11. Tuz name of each fubferiber shall be
written in a beok, and transmitted with the
fubfeription monies to either Branch of the
Bank of the United States.

A Certain nobleman having built a
chapel, had a mind the flair-cafe
leading to it should be ornamented with
some scripture history—which he at last
determined fhoeld be the Children of ffrael
passing through the Red Sea, and the
Egyptians pursuing them.—A painter
was employed on thisoccafion, and fell
to work immediately ; and after he had
daubed the wall from top to bottom
with red paint, he called to his lord
ship and told him the work is done, —
Done ! quoth the peer,—What's done ?
Where are the children of Ireal ? My
lord, they are gone over, replied the
painter.—But, zounds ! where are the
Egyptians then ? The Egyptians, my
