From the Chy ard Carolina Gazettes.
. STANZAS,
Occaficned by the Death of GENERAL
George Washington.
nr HE Man, that freed these ftfermg lands
. From (George the Third's besieging bands ;
The Hero, through all countries known,
The Guardian Genius of his own—
Is gone to that fequfcred b urne,
From which no traveller does return ;
Where Scipio, and inhere Trajan Trent ;
And Heaven reclaims the foul it lent.
Each heart Tilth fecrct woe congeals ;
Down the pale cheek foft farrow seals ;
And all the gentler pylons join,
To mourn, remember—and refgn.
0 ye, that carve the marble bast.
To celebrate poor human di.^,
And from Iteatb'sfdent ferfyfore,
The faded form of man rejiore —
Vain are your aims, by force of art,
T' impress bis image on the heart ;
It lives, i^ glows in every breast,
.And tears of millions tell the rest.
Indebted to bis guardian care,
And great alike in peace and war,
The loss they feel, tbefc States deplore
Their Chief, their Father is no more.
What will ibev d&t' avow their grief?
"° ft'", n ° tears, afford relief.
Dark mourning weeds but ill express
The poignant grief that all confefs ;
Nor will the monumental fene,
'^d" a & e ore tear, relieve one groan.
0 Washington / //, honoured^,,
To Parent Nature we entru,^ '
Convinc'd that thy exalte<l Jud
Still lives, but fours kfy mankind;
% ", ^^^ ^
os <y^s ^£ o „, man bis vain applause.
^—f^apturcs with a theme so great,
* bile tby fum'd actions they relate,
Hash future age from thee fall know,
All that is good and great below ;
Shall glow with pridc,to band thee down
To latest time, to longienoren,
The bright, name 0,7 Freedom's page,
And the Fir, Honour cf our age.

PATIENCE and CONTENTMENT.,
PATIENCE and Contentment, —which like
thetreafure hid in the field for which a
firm fold all he had to purchase—is of that price
that it cauhot be had at too great a purchase,
since without it the bell condition in life cannot
make us happy,—and with it, it is impossible
we should be miferablc even in the worst.

Anecdote of SUWARROW and bis Ritytans.
<<YT is not easy to form an idea of Suwarrow
I and his Ruffians. It is a fanaticifm which
sometimes prompts them to perform prodigies of
valor, and their general avails himfelf to admi
ration of their stupid ignorance. He himfelf
perfectly refemblcs the chief of a fcA, giving the
blefling to every body, and constantly speaking
of God and his miracles—He is little, thin, but
vigorous, notwith (landing he is ,~j. He seldom
appears at the head of his army but in shirt and
pantaloons, sometimes none of the beft—Ke
drinks a gieat deal of strong liquors, and speaks
frequently of the 63 battles he has gained. He
weeps like a child when during an engagement ;
if victory does not appear to declare in his favor,
he then alights from his horse, ruffles to the
charge, runs through the ranks that give way—
addreffes the soldiers whom he calls his children,
(while they call him their father) —he cries that
he will die, that he will not survive the loss ofaj
battle.
“ In this manner he electrifies the combatants,
who to save their general, force him out of dan
ger, and charge the enemy with fixed bayonets
in the most desperate manner. Sucn is laid to
have been the manner in which he gained the
battle of Novi. Suwarrow is always accompa
nied by the young Prince Constantine, Son of
the Emperor of Russia. This young war
rior 19 years of age is brave, and has just
views of things—He has, it is said, opened his
private purse to assist fume of our officers taken
prisoners in the Muttenthal."
COMMUNICATION.
The Virginia "Republicans" have had a civic
fca, at Norfolk, to " celebrate the many important
events which marked the conch, on of the lafl year,
as so many triumphs in favour of the great cause of
man ;" where the following chara&eriftic toast
was given :
“ Thomas Jefferson — as be now fills The
fir, place in our Hearts,^ may befoon in our Coun
cils ! !"
Query —Are not tbefc the " virtuous repub
licans" who competed the majority of that State,for
changing the mode ,cbo,ng Elekta's for Pr,dcnt
and Vice.Prefudent ?
A Countryman, rather ignorant in regard to
family duties, was asked by one of his neigh
bors. " why he did rot crave a hlefling ?" He
told him " he did not know how, and he would
thank him if he would tell him;" he said, that
* «he must afle the Lord to bless him and his vict
uals, &c." The man went home, and happened
to have some Chickens for dinner; he defiled
♦he family to stand up, and he spoke very sol
emnly, " Lord, - bless us and our Chickens.'
