CempU of tlx s^^
^>-^s^-4,
Crith pleafare we avail our/elves of the fallowing
extrafl, made in the Independent Chronicle. We
deem it extremely appropriate for the occasion ;
the character of that illujiriousPatriot and State]-
man, the late venerable SAMVEL ADANS is
therein concijely diJplayed.]
TRIBUTARY!,
<< YES ! we have loft a FATHER !
The greatest Welling Heaven beftowson mortals ,
And seldom found amidd these wilds ot tiroes,
A goad a worthy Patriot ! Hear me,
And I will tell thee in a few plain w ords
How he deferv'd th4t belt that glorious title;
'Tis nought complex, Ais clear as truth and
virtue..
Ho lov'd the people,deem'd them all his Brothers,
The good ellcem'd, and depress'd the bad ;,
He fpurn'd the AatiTing crew, with scorn rejec
ted
Their finodth advice, that only meanUhemfelves,
Their febemes to aggrandize him into baseness.
He fought alone the good of those for whom
He was entrnfted with the fovereigu power,
Well knowing, that a people in their rights
And inluftry protefled, being fafe
Beneath the sacred shelter of the Uns;
Encouraged in their Genius, arts and labours,
And hippy each as he himfelf deferres
Are ne'er ungrateful Their filial lore
And confidence are his unfailing treasures,
And every honed man his faithful guard."
Thompson.
SWEET Autumn ! how thy melancholy grac^
Steals on my heart, as through these Ihades 1
wind ;
Sooth'd by thy breathing sigh, I fondly trace
Each lonely image of the pentive mind.
Low'd feenes, lov'd friends, long loft ! around ffie
rife,
And wakr the melting thought, the tender tear;
that tear, that thought, which more than mirth
Iprize,
Sweet as the gradual tint that paints the year !
Thy farewell finile, with fond regret, I view,
Thy beaming lights, foft gliding o'er the
woods ;
Thy didant landscape touch'd With yellow hue,
While falls in lengthen'd gleam, thy winding
floods.
Now veil'd in fade, save where the fluff's white
fails
Sveil to the breeze, and catch the flreaming
ray ;
But now, even now, the partial vision fail^,
And the wave (miles, as sweeps the cloud away.
Emblem of life ! thus chquer'd in its plan ;
Thus joy succeeds to grief ; thus (miles the varied
man.
