~ THE SEASON.
OWgloomy winter (hews bighoary head,
• A ndNature' sface is with confufion spread ;
Stemßoreas rambles forth with bluft'ring twerp
explore the continent and dorm the deep .
Awhile he ranges with difpotic sway,
Till vanquish'd by the genial lamp of day.
The force now appears with rueful mein,
•The groves display a like ungrateful scene;
• No cheerful verdure beautifies the field,
Nor can the vales their wanted odours yield :
The open lawns, with each dilated plain,.
No fcmblance of their former bloom retain.
Now hurried vapors, fogs and mills arife,-
Which chocke the air, and fbade the envelop'd
Ikies.
Impetuous rains in fable ftrcams defeend,
And various meteors in the aether blend. 6
The rapid floods,which from the mountains pour
• With voice like thunder thro' the vallics roar ,
While echo docs the noisy din provoke,
• And joins the difeord fr®m each vocal rock.
The silver ponds now shine in glittering mail,
And frozen clouds difeharge the pattering hail.
A coverlet of fleecy snow o'erfpr&s
The tow ring hills, and clothes the naked meads.
No warblers now chaunt forth their lively
ftraios,
Nor with foft notes divert the lift 'ning swains:
No pleating object entertains the fight,
Nor rural walks, nor sylvan (hades invite;
No more we trace the mazes of the grove,,
'rho' once our calm retreat and feat of love.

On ,the 17th Nov, departed this life in this
town, Daniel Stratton, son of Mr. Joel
Su^tton, in the 20th year of his age. This
youth was seized with what the physicians term
ed the sciatica :in July 1791,in a dreadful man
ner,and at different periods endured ^diflocatidn
of mod of the joints of his body. For eight years
past, lad October, he never ileppid on his feet ';
his back was drawn out of joint before he wa^
confined to his bed, and soon afterwards all his
joints one after another, even to his fingers were
dislocated and rendered useless, except the right
elbow which enabled him to move his right
hand about an inch or two up or down on his
bread. For fix years last past, he was not turn
in his bed or moved in any way, but by remov
ing his bedstead and all together. For three
years endfog in March last, his jaws were set
and all his sustenance adminftlered, Sliced so thin
is to be thrust into the. orifice, about the Bth of
an inch wide, and the disorder aftding his eyes
deprived him of fight for three years. He was
afterwards, by the inveteracy of his disorder,
rendered entirely deaf of one ear, and received
po liquid but what he fucked through a Straw
for two years before his death. What is remark
able in his case is, that he retained his ferfes
through the whole term, and his power of ut
terance never failed him. He knew people by
the tone of the voice, or their footfteps, as quick
js any one in the house, while his hearing re
mained. In bis last moments be called the
hpufcbold together and bid them farewell in an
abiding manner, and died calm and composed.
