ORIGINAL POETRY.
MESSRS TREADWELLS,
The fafowi^g liner were written on the
death of the late venerable Dc&r Apple
ton, of Cambridge, by. an under graduate
of Harvard College. As they have never
been publicised, it will be gratifying to a
number of your cufowers to fee them in the
Oracle.
To the Memory of
Dt. APPLETON.
APPROACH ye pious to this sacred urn,
Where the bleft'd Servant of his God reclines,
And weep that piety like hklhould cease
To spread its beams in a benighted "world ;
Yet still rejoicing, that the radiant choir
Os Angels, waiting till the feene was closed.
In which he wredled with the fins of men,
Have crown'd his wish, and plac'd him near his
God.
Ye font of Vice ! here finite your breafti & read
On the pale lips of this departed faint,
Which mov'd unheeded, when he urg'd this
truth,
This folcmn, awful, but forgotten truth ;
That borrow'd dust, must iu a Arrow'd be paid.
Approach ye young! and gratitude (hall fay,
flow kind the leffous, from the defle he gave,
To guard the Geps, of. deviating youth,
To check the follies of a thougbtlcfs age ;
To curb the passions of the high-born foul,
And teach rfautCirtue is the path to peace.
Ye aged few ! who through protracted life,
Have here been plac'd as arGamaliet's feet,
And from his venerable itys'imbib'd,
^ublimeft truth and wisdom ! witness ye,
flow calm his fortitude ; which likea rock
Rais'd-o'er the waves of a difeordant world,
Have queu'd the surges of atrocious guih,
And broke The billows of corfliding vice.
Th* elegiac muse tin cyptefs deeply veil'd
To solemn dirges would attune the lyre
To mark the fervour of his godly life,
And counsels virtues that demand her song.
In ear!, life, when variegated fceoes
Os plcafure open'd, and coeval youth
Ju joysnnfeeodyfer licentious mirth,
Fan'd the bale p^ffions that dethrone the man ;
Hie mind high raffed above a fcoffing age
Remain'd unmoved w hen fell,fpread her charms.
Tho' large his draughts from the all bounteous
fund, 1
Ofjoys unmra'd, irotaipced, fulid pure.
In gratitude 4g large remittances
He daily made; and in his life be taught
By reafoo led, " To enjoy is to obey."
His sacred funaioos bound his thoughts to
Heaven, + ?
While the world kffenmgfunk beneath his view.-
Save due attention to domestic cares,
Which none but worse than infidel declines;
The chriftian, patriot, rooralift, and friend
In him with all the social virtues join'd,
Mercy and truth, beneficence and lore.
No artful fubtletics, or long parade
Os idle forms, foptiGic dark and vain,
Veil'd the fair radiance of celtftial truth
In ufelcfs [peculation's endkfs maze:
Reason and Confcicnce ;—-Nature's voice and
God's
His moral guide; while love inspiring faith
By Christ revealed, he clearly taught to men.
Wifely he crushed the rage of part/ zeal;
Foe to contention and debate, he liv'd
With all, as much as in biro lay in peace.
Opprefli on, violence and lawless power,
Back from his free-born foul he nobly fpurn'd
When feeptred tyranny, with hidden chains
Smiling dclufive, wait'd our patriot fires,
His tepid blood boil'd thro' the withered veins,
His waining life reanimated glow'd,
And every generous passion liv'd again.
While daring fouls with martial glory fir'd
Through crimson carnage bore the fatal flee! ;
By cealclefs inttreeffions at the Throne
His zealous spirit plead the cause with God.
How in their shepherd did the flock rejoice *
Led in green pastures by still waters fide—
He brake the bread of Life in season due,
Milk to the babe, and meat to Wronger man ;
As from the altar fir'd his lips, with zeal
In Grains pathetic, raised the drooping heart,
Inspired the timid, waken'd the secure,
Refolv'd the doubting, fiiette'd the profane,
Strengthen'd the weak, and call'd the wand'rer
home.
But foft my mufc,nor boldly dare attempt
The Zenith of bis praise, who now is regifter'd
Among the blcfs'd, and hears the Eulogies
Os Saints in Heav'n — Calm, and fcrene his foul,
'Till the lad ling 'ring fadd of life was run ;
The wifh'd for mandate came—then gliding
down
The peaceful smooth declivity of life,
The dust, to dust, return'd, and clos'd the feene:
The longing foul on fire its prison leaves
T'afctnd the small remaining flep to Heav'n,
To be .just happier than he wagon Earth.
Now time has tore this patron, son and friend
From her embrace, our Alma Mater weeps.
How sadly fball we part,
Ye fens of Harvard gratefully reflect
How his reiterated prayers for you
Invok'd celestial smiles.-
How sadly fball me part, for now no more
His pious bentdiaion is bellow'd,
Which each returning year has footh'd the pang
And painful dolor of a last adieu.
While here we view, the dear paternal fege,
Who can withhold what nature gave to fp: ale
Wfrn words are buried in redundant grief—
—A tear. - —i
Ye kindred, tender, fyropathetic fouls !'
His virtues are the precious Legacy
He leaves to you ; then let them still survive,
So may you gain from Heav'n his happy lot,
“ Honor'd when living and when dead rever'd."

POWER or RELIGION.
—o—.
JANE, Queen of Navarre.
THIS excellent Queen was the
daughter of Henry 11. King of
Navarre, and of Margaret of Orleans,
filler to Francis I. of that name, King
of France.
From her childhood (he was careful
ly educated in the Protestant religion,
to which (he ftedfaftly adhered all her
days. Biflbop Burnet fays of her, —
" That (he both received the reforma
tion, and brought her fubjefts to it—
That (he not only reformed her court,
but her whole principality, to such a
degree, that the Golden Age seemed to
have returned under her ; or rather,
Chriflianity appeared again with the pu
rity and luftre of its firtt beginnings."
This illuftrioas queen being invited
to attend the nuptials ofher son and
the "King of France's lifter, fell a facri
fice to the machinations and cruelty of
the French court against the Protestant
Religion.
That religious fortitude and genuine
piety, with which the was endued, did
not, however, desert her in this great
coriflid, and at <he approach of death.
To some that were about her, near
the conclusion df her time, the said ;---
“ I take all this as Cent -from the hand
of God, my most merciful Father: nor
a have I, during this extremity, feared to
die, much left murmured against God
1 for inflicting this chaftilement upon me
knowing that whatsoever he does wiffi
s me he so orders it, as that, in the end,
it (hall turn to my everlasting good."
When the saw her ladies and women
weeping about her bed, the blamed
them, faying,—" Weep iff for me, I
pray you ; for God doth, by this fick
nefs,call me hence to enjoy a better life;
and now 1 Shall enter into the desired
haven, towards which this frail vessel of
mine hath been a long time fleering."
She expressed some concern for her
children, as they would be deprived of
.her in their tender years ; but added,
" I doubt pot blit God himfelf will be
their Father and Protector, as he hath
ever been mine in my greatest afflidion;
therefore.! commit them wholly to his
government ^pd fatherly care. " 4 be-'
liathat Christ is my only Mediator
and Saviour, and I look for salvation
from no other. omy God ! in thy
good time deliver me from this body
of deathrand fiom the troubles, of this
prefect life, that I may attain to the fe-;
