. A HYMN,
h Commemoration of the Death of Gen. WASH
INGTON ; combofed and performed at Looming
&r. Feb. 22, 1800, by sfbijab Bigeioiv,A. Os.
HE'S gone! hA gone ! beyond the ikies,
. Where sorrows are no more,
Then why, with tears, with heart felt sighs, ,
The Hero's Dedth deplore?
Say, fhaokla lifelcG lump of clay,
His heavenly Soul confine ?
Or stop its progress outbe way.
To regions more divine ?
No, let the man, whose virtues ihine,
.Above all human lays,
With nobler 6^6,1$ Spirit join,
And meq Angelic praise, >
Buftor our Country's loss we mourn,
'Tis this demands our grief,
Our Great, our % Brokers gone,
Our savior and our Chief
Then sing his fame, in solemn lays,
Let future ages know,
What honors, what unfeign'd applause,
To WASHINGTON they owe.
'Twas he, who led, when tyrants rofc,
A proud, imperious race ;
'Twas he, who variquifh’d Freedom's foes.
And gave Columbia Peace.
No more shall ancient heroes boast.
The laurels thev' have won ;
Our WASHINGTON," himfelf a host,”
Has all their fame outshone,
O ! may that, fame, our Sons inspire,
When dangers may demand,
With noble zeal, like him t' afpirc,
To guard their native land. •
the MORALISI —No. 342.
t_ He that males
Envy and creole! malice nourifment,
Dares bite toe by?! SHAKESPEAR.
OF all the passions which degrade
the human hreaft, that of Envy is
the most abhorrent. It feeds its ma
lignancy upon objects calculated to in
spire the enthusiastic admiration of Wis
dom, and to call forth the smile of ap
probation from the cheek of Virtue.
How truly diabolical then mttft that
temper be, which makes opposition to
greatness, which perfccutes excellence,
and which defames purity. How far
must that man have defeended from his
native dignity, who can reconcile hat
red where love should reign predomi
nant, and who can aim the poilonous
arrow of calumny at the breast of in
tegrity. How contemptible must that
wretch be, who is impatient for the de
ftruatan of a grand and stately edifice,
merely because it overlooks his own
manficn, and who complains of tower
ing magnificence for no other reason
than because be is not its tenant. But
filch is the ignobleness of Envy, that it
purfaes with the most animated rancor
thofc distinguished characters in the af
fairs of men, which are calculated to
produce happiness : and so infatiabl^ is
its lull, that it reds not until it has ac
complished its hellish purposes.
The MEDLEY.-No. 112.
A marriage was lately celebrated at Wells,
in England, which excited a confidcrable de
gree of curlofity and entertainment. The bride,
Mary Evans, was btirn without arms, but en
joyed the life of her feet in such a manner as
to be able by her toes to cut our watch-papers,
and work at her needle with lingular facility,
for many years pad fbe has attended the princi
pal fairs as a shew, and thereby acquired a For
tune of £.BO0 —She is now between thirty and
forty years of age, of very diminutive stature,
and with a countenance certainly not overcharg
ed with feminine loveliness ; added to thefc, her
eyes are week, and her voice is as deep and fo
narous as any boatswain's in the king's service.
—but love, imperious love, who knows no dis
crimination of rankor perfnnjmpreffed this spin
ster with passions ardent and animated. The
driver of her carivan.a youngman,named Simp
son, was the object of her choice; time had
made him familiar to her deformity, and her
riches " lived in his thought and played about
his heart ;" for after all," money is your bell
match-maker." In fine, they were regularly
asked to church, and on Tuefday latt were mar
ried amidst an immense concourse offpedtator—
During the ceremony, feme difficulty arose as to
the disposing of the ring, the bride not having a
finger on which to place it, but at the earnest
felicitations of the parties, this form was dis
penfed with.
From the Trenton (N, ferfryf Federal,.
MARRIED] At Middletown (Monmouth)
on the sth ult. Thomas Tilton, in the 76th year
of hisage, to Mary Lucar,in her 13th year,—
She is the daughter's daughter of Thomas Til
ton's former wife ; so that this hm/band and
wife,were at least half grandfather and half grand
daughter.
At the fame place, a few weeks since, fhn

daughter of Thomas Tilton, the above named

SHOCKING, MURDER !
On Saturday tall, a most shocking Murder
was committed in Preston, on the body of a
child of Mr. Joseph feronard, aged about 18
months, by a woman named Marc, Bums, who
is fupnorted by said town, at Mr. Eleazer Pren
tice's,' and was accidentally at said Leonard's. —
The particulars, ar near as we have been able
to called, are as follow :—The family were
gone to meeting, and the child left in charge
of a boy about 12 years old. In the course of
the day the said Mercey the boy out for
wood, and b the mean time ftratjgled the child
and threw it down the well. The boy fr^on
after came id, and enquired for it, when
told him that ihe had put it to sleep in another
room, and that he must not diftarb it ; but not
witliftanding this hd entered the room, and not
findingthe child, or anf sprorarcc of its having
h^w^e,became alarmed,ind & .
Isure of a neighbouring lad, difeovered it in the
Iwell. The Buys immediately alarmed the peo-
Iple at the Meeting-House, and the child was
r taken out after having lain there about two
hours. In the mean time the woman went
phonic, got to bed, and feigned sickness, but has
since confeffed the faft, and is now confined in
the jail in this city.
A Jury of inquest was called, whole verdict
was, "That the Murder wa,scommitted by
some designing person, supposed to be Marc ey
Bump.
HALLOWELL, (MAINZ,) MARCH I.
On the night of the Bth ult. Capt. Isaac Law
rence of Westport, after having been miffing
about five hours, was found about midnight,
suspended from a tree, with a rope round his
neck, within half a mile of his houfe.—lt was
supposed that he had been dead but a short
time when found ; and the circumstances attend
ing this melancholy occurrence were such as to leave
no doubt but be perpetrated the deed with his own
bands.— Captain L atuneacefor about a year pa, had
been rather deranged in bis mind. —lt is batjuftice
to bis memory tpfay that be honorably difetarged the
duties of an biftand, a parent, and a friend.

NEW-YORK. FRB. U,
A SWINDLER.
A mod audacious fwinJiing act was
committed yederday in this city. As
an apprentice of Mr. Robert Giles of
Rofe-flreet, was proceeding to the
Manhattan Bank with a check for 375
dollars, he was accosted by a villain,
who facing the boy reading the check,
alked him if he wanted the cash for it ?
4The unfafpeding lad anfwerihg in the
affirmative, he gave him to underhand
that he was connected with the Bank,
and desired the boy to accompany him
into an adjacent store and he would
save him the trouble of going to the
Bank—where this polite gentleman
called for a trifling article, as an excuse
for the intrusion in the store, and in the
mean time scribbled an order for 14.
guineas upon a capt. White directed to
the Albany Coffee-Houle, signed %bn ,
White. Mr. Giles has offered a reward
of 100 dollars for the detection of the
perpetrator, and it is sincerely wished
he may be recognized, and bro't to the
bar of juflice.
