In virtues, arts and hrihs; long known to
fame;
He fprung:— WhereHartford crowns with
spiry pride,
Her high romantic banks & chryftal tide,
His inlak,t sports and happier hours were
led,
'Till Yale's fair laurels, grac'd his youth
ful head,
What time the Briton, to our guiltless
ihore,
In proud arrays his thund'fing legions
bore,
When erst Columbia's Harry flag unfurl'd,
Show'd a new eagle to the wond'ring
world,
The gallant youth appear'd at freedom's
shrine,
Drew his yet unftain'd steel, & join'd the
embattl'd line;
There in long toils, and dangers tried, he
won
The approving smiles of godlike Wash
• INGTON. ..
With tarnilh'd arms the Britons, fought
the main,
And heaven-born Peace refum'd her gold
en reign.
The patriot bands reliev'd from martial
toil,
Return and court the long-neglefted foil :
Severer cares his warrior arms engage,
To guard the Weffern realm,& quell bar
barian rage,
And lo ! on wild Miami's dusky plain,
O'er flaughter'd heaps he leads his vi&of
train,
There as the foe in trembling haste retires
In glory's arms the hapless chief expires.
Columbians rife! no more inadive lie,
Your flaughter'd friends for speedy venge
ance cry:
Their mangled corfes & yet teeming blood
Their groans yet ecchoing in the weftern
wood;
The matron's piercing shriek, the infant's
cries,
And yon brown cloud flow riling to the
Ikies,
Call to revenge—to arms ! to.arms repair!
Urge home the ruthless brood and wage
eternal war,
On those curft miscreants whom no faith
can bind.
The scourge ofGoofhe terror of mankind;
Then let the vengeful bolts of w# be
hurl'd,
And with black myriads crowd the infer

A bard, the meanest of the tuneful
throng,
Whose idle lyre, has long remain'd un
strung,
Who lov'd thee living,&regrets thee dead,
Pays this last tribute to thy gentle shade-
Th'hiftoric muse, in more exalted verse,
May thus to future times thy fate rehearse,
From England's gentlest blood,an honor'd
name;
If polifh'd manners, undifguis'd by art,
The tendered pallions,& the firnielt heart;
Where lavish Heaven united every grace,
To the mild virtues of the Wyllys race.
If worth, long tried, diltinguifh'd and

Could move the tyrant Death, or e'er had

Every One to bis Notion,
MOST certainly ; and the
Prompter to bis notion
of course. If a man is a little
odd in bis way, as we vulgarly
phrase it, dr what the French
call outre, his friends fay he
is a notional creature or full of
notions. And where is the
man or wonlan living, that is
not full of notions? Even Con
gtefs have their notions. One
of the most diftiriguifhed /pout
ers in that honorable body
will insist upon it, that the
Speaker of the House of Re
presentatives is next in rank
to the President. —This man
is certainly a notional creature;
but every one to bis notion.—
Others have contended warm
ly that their residence ought
td be fixed in the woods a
bout Conegocheague; but it
is best to remove thither by lit
tle and little. Is this not a
notion ?
The Legislature of Massa
chusetts, some years ago took
it into their heads to kill the
profeffidn of law, by a queer
aft ; but the attempt failed,
people would go to lawyers,
and lawyers would live, while
people would employ them.
But the Gerieral Court was
full of notions. Let Lawyers
multiply until a famine of
business comes upon them,
and they will die like Egypti
an frogs.
A neighbour of mine who
is a full grown man, aflerts
that the furface of the ocean,
is higher than the land, and
that by a constant miraculous
restraint of the Almighty, the
water is kept from overflow
ing the earth. His opinion
is founded on those words of
scripture; the bounds are set.
This man is fall of notions.
Don't laugh at my neigbour,
gentle reader, for I'll bet, ten
to one, that in some other par
ticular thou art just as no
tional thyfelf.
Love is the most notiondl
passion ; not excepting ambi
tion and superstition. I Orice
knew a woman who had a ve
ry amiable daughter, declare
it was moriflrous indelicate for
a young lady to love a man.
She might love an elegant
house, a carriage and even
money; but to love a man't
person was shocking. But e
very one to her notion.
When I was a young man,
1 knew an attorney who was
attached to what is called so
mil, ; that is, whofe^ family,
by good luck, had stripped off
their woolen shirts and check
ed aprons, just one generation
before, and kept them off un
til their companions whohad

associated with them in their
woolen dress, were mostly
dead. The attorney had not
wore linen shirts so long by
'ten years as this family ; and
yet had the assurance to fall
in love with one of the daugh
ters. The man however did
not meet with cold looks from
the daughter —but the parents
walked a tip toe at the affront
offered their family. The
daughter was notional as
well as the parents —they
intended to have their notion,
but flie had bers—and a very
good notion it was, for A more
happy couple does not exist.
But the queerest of all no
tions is, that parents will not
permit a daughter, no not e
ven a son, to love for them
selves. I know a widow with
a family of likely daughters,
who insists upon it that her
daughters do not know how
to love for themfelves —she
therefore means to love for
them. ,She is a queer woman
and a notional creature ; but
ev'ery one to bis notion.
THE celebrated Burrough,
A as riding the wooden
horse at Castle William,
(Massachusetts) was accosted
by the Maj. With "good morn
ing, Mr. Chaplain, what are
you doing ?" " I am" replied
the quondam priest, "running
the chriflian race, ftc adj aft and
immoveable."
THREE gentlemen, by the
names of Strange, Moore
and Wright, happening to be
in company fays Moore,
"here are three of us neigh
bors together; and there is
but one cuckold among, us
all, and that is Strange."—
“O! yes, (lays Wright) you
are mistaken, there is one
Moore," —" Why, so there is,
(fays Moore, addressing him
felf to Strange) he is certainly
Wright."
