The weeping winds, report my tender grief—
And fee ! a group celestial hastening down,
To share my wo, and bring my pain relief,
By holding up a bright immortal crown!
Religion firft, with Heaven's resplendent beam,
Prefers a glass to meet my tearful eye—
Behold! behind this life's impervious screen,
My fav'rite son, and wipe your sorrows dry.
Then friendfhip, science, liberty, and truth,
Write on his tomb, in characters sublime,
Approve the efforts, of his age and youth,
To 'hand their influence down to future time.
The graces too, by eloquence led on,
With cypress garlands strew his hallowed grave:
For they had fondly mark'd him as their own—
But vain their power, and influence to save !
In times when civil difeord holds her court;
And vice triumphant, keeps her ancient post :
When most is needed, such a firm support,
They mourn with me, their friend and patron loft.
' EMELIA.
Mr. COLLINS,
IN a late Gazette you published a computation of
the numberof inhabitants in this state; I will beg
leave to give you a single instance which may throw
some light upon the furprifmg rapidity and nume
rousness of population in a free and fertile country.
Oppression drove my grandfather and family from
England into Pennsylvania, when the place where
Philadelphia now stands shewed one house, and that
a small frame-one. My father was about five years
old; before twenty he married my mother; they
had issue thirteen children. After my mother's
death about twenty-one years ago, I undertook to
number the living from my parents. There were
sons and daughters nine; grand children 71; great
grand children 112; and one of the fifth generation
downwards. My mother could fay to her eldeg
son then living, son, your daughter's daughter has
a daughter. While virtue and simplicity of man
ners remain, such will be their effeds; luxury, exe
crable luxury, this is what destroys mankind, and
robs the earth of inhabitants. lam now 65 years
old, and I bless God that those infamous oppressors,
the tories of Great-Britain, involuntarily lent me to
this goodly land. A place too good for them, and
they may as well go about their business, for they
never will get it.
H. F.
I'VE heard the tempest howl along the plain,
And screaming winds pour forth a dreadful
blast;
While fleaks of snow, and sheets of driving rain
Presented nature as a dreary waste.
Howl now ye tempests, blow ye winds around—
Your gloomy founds are mufick to my ear;
Such as I never yet in zephyrs found,
] ho' fan'd by purple wings of vernal air.
The gloomy found, according with my wo,
Spreads a foft melancholy o'er my mind,
That sooths my pangs, and gives the tender flow
Of lenient drops, to sorrow ever kind.
Ah ! what avails my forrows' fad complaint,
While in the grave my Lucius breathless lies ?
The turf enfhrinb< the dust; the ikies the faint;
But left behind the hapless mourner dies.
Each day I feel the anguish more severe;
In crouds, in solitude, at home, abroad—
Bereav'd of all my inmost foul held dear,
I find her finking faft beneath the load.
No change of circumstance, no varying scene,
Can draw the deep, envenom'd, barbed dart:
Tho' care maternal, prompts the look ferine;
The anxious sigh, Rill wrings the mother's heart.
Oh ! on this day, may each revolving year,
Be mark'd by nature's sympathetic groan !
Nor sighing gales, deny the pitying tear,
While at his tomb, I ,make my silent moan !

Mr. COLLINS,
Tie folio'wing elegant little ode, written by a lady
on the anniversary of her husband's death, the'

serve to entertain ,our ingenious readers. Sent
to me as a friend, I have to beg her excuse for
thus expofqg her grief to the eye of the publick,
'while l cvi/h to f?e<w it, her wit.
