LADY SHOT IN BATTLE.
BY DR. DARWIN.
"SO stood Eliza on the wood-crowned height,
O'er Minden's plain, spectatress of the fight ;
Sought with bold eye, amid the bloody strife,
Her dearer self the partner of her life ;
From hill to hill, the rushing host pursued,
f And viewed his banner, or believed she viewed.
Pleas',l with the distant roar, with quicker tread
Fast by his hand one lisping boy she led ;
And one fair girl, amid the loud alarm,
Slept on her 'kerchief, cradled by her arm ;
While round her brows bright beams of honor dart,
And love's warm eddies circle round the heart.
DAVID MORSE, informs the Pub
lic, that Letters Patent have been granted
him by the President of the United States for a
new invented Machine, by which he manufactures
Hinges, Nails and Brads of all sizes, which he will
sell wholesale and retail, at the lowest prices, at his
Manufactory, on the head of Captain Obadiah
Horton's wharf, near Merrimac-street, a few
rods below Market street, Newburyport, where or
ders will be respectfully received, and promptly
attended to.
A Patent right of the above Machine
acknowledged by competent judges to be superior
on many accounts, to any in the United States, will
be disposed of, if desired, for the County of Suffolk
in Massachusetts, and for the State o£ New-Hamp
shire. N. B. One man will cut 40,000 Brads in a
day by said machine. May 4.

"Epping, May 1, 1805.
Mr. T. Turner,
Intends opening his Dancing School
in this town early in May.,
Portsmouth, April. 6.
•
A ball now hisses from the airy tides,
Some fury winged, and sonre demon guides .
Farts the fine locks her graceful heaq that deck,
"Wounds her fair ear, and sinks into her neck !
The red stream issuing from her azure veins,
Dyes her white veil, her ivory bosom stains :
“ Ah me !" she cried, and sinking on the ground,
Kissed her dear babes regardless of the wound :
“ O, cease not yet to beat, thou vital pm !
“ Wait, gushing life, oh wait my love's return !
" Hoarse barks the wolf, the vulture screams from
far!/
a The angel Pity shuns the walks of war !
" Oh spare, ye war-hounds,spare their tender age ;
“ On me, on me," she cried, " exhaust your rage !"
Then, with weak arms, her weeping babes caress'^
And, sighing, hid them in her blood stain'd vest.
Near and more tear the intrepid beauty press'd,'
Saur through the driving smoke his dancing crest ;
Saw on his helm, her virgin-hand inwove,
Bright stars of gold, and mystic knots of love ;
Heard the exulting shout, “ They run ! they run!"
“ Great God," she cried, " he's safe 1 the battle's
won !"
IT is remarked of a noted gambler, lately deceas
ed, that in his shuffling probation here, he experi
enced many rubs, and had learnt the art of dealing
to himself or his partner,all the trumps in the pack ;
yet what may appear a paradox, he never showed
an honor. Death, however, in cutting with him
for the odd trick, turned up the knave.
From tent to tent, the impatient warrior flies,
Tear in his heart, and fren, in his eyes ;
Eliza's name along the camp he calls,
Eliza ! echoes through the canvas walls ;
Quick through the murm'ring gloom his footsteps
tread
O'er groaning heaps, the dying and the dead,
Vault o'er the plain, and in the tangled wood,
Lo ! dead Eliza welt'ring in her blood !
Soon hears his list'ning son the welcome sounds,
With open arms and sparkling eyes he bounds :
“ Speak low," he cries, and gives his little hand,
“ Eliza sleeps upon the dew-cold sand ;"
Poor weeping babe, with bloody fingers press'd,
Arid tried with pouting lips her milkless breast ;
4 - Alas !we both with cold and hunger quake—
" Why do we weep ? mamma will soon awake."
" She'll wake no more !"the hopeless mourner cried,
Upturn'd his eyes, and clasp'd his h^nds, and sigh'd ;
Stretch'd on the ground awhile entranc'd he.lay,
And press'd warm kisses on the lifeless clay ;
And then upsprung with wild convulsive start,
And all the father kindled in his heart ;
>' Oh ! Heavens," he cried, 'my first rash vow for
give ?
“ These bind to earth, for these I pray to live !"
Round his chill babes, he wrapp'd his crimson vest,
And clasp'd them, sobbing to his aching breast.
