The following conditions will be required on the part of the United States. Viz.
I. No rent shall be demanded for the first year of the lease; but the lessee shall pay to the United States, one thousand bushels, equal to fifty thousand pounds merchandise salt, for the annual rent of each succeeding year: the salt to be delivered at the works, in such quantities, and at such time and times within the year, as shall be fixed by the terms of the lease.
II. The lessee shall establish, within the first year, kettles, for the purpose of making salt of the aggregate contents of at least eight thousand gallons; and they shall, within the second year, encrease the quantity to fifteen thousand gallons, and during the remainder of the lease, keep up and employ kettles of the said aggregate contents of fifteen thousand gallons: the kettles remaining on hand at the expiration of the lease, to be valued and paid for to the lessee, if the lease shall not be renewed.
III. The lessee shall be bound, annually, and each year after the end of the first year, to manufacture at least the quantity of salt which shall be agreed on by the terms of the lease; and to sell the whole quantity which, during the four years of their lease, they shall manufacture, at a price not greater than that fixed by the said terms: and in order to prevent any combination or evasion, the United States reserve to themselves the right of purchasing the whole at that price.
IV. For the purpose of assisting the lessees in the purchase of kettles, and erection of the works, the United States shall advance two thousand five hundred dollars; to be repaid at the end of the lease, with interest, at the rate of six per cent. a year, from the expiration of the first year of the lease.

FOR THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
Reflections on POLITICAL ECONOMY, and the PROSPECT BEFORE US.
Addressed to the CITIZENS of the Western Country.
NO. I.
IF ever there was a nation completely blessed with all the means of promoting and giving durability to its happiness, it is certainly the enviable one in which we live. Every thing that can sustain and dignify our pretensions to present felicity and future importance, seem to be combining to stamp the destiny of America with traits of uncommon prosperity. Since the revolution, no country at any period of the world, has presented a ratio of improvement, in all the means of giving stability to the happiness of a nation, so astonishing to the mind and flattering to the anticipations of hope. In the political department of our affairs, liberty still preserves its asylum; and the wiles of foreign intrigue and domestic faction have been completely overthrown by the steady intrepidity and cool moderation of our councils. In the moral and civil, the encroachments of luxury have not superceded the sentiments of veneration which the popular mails still entertain towards national honor, economy, simplicity and private virtue. The agricultural and commercial departments of the nation, so far as they relate to the Atlantic states of the union, have been equally prosperous in diffusing wealth through the various branches of society. In addition to these felicities, the late cession of Louisiana comes in at the most propitious juncture, to expand the horizon of our views and to prompt the wisdom of the nation to the exercise of all those energies which may give to America a character more elevated than that of any other, in either ancient or modern times. No human being can view that great event with the eye of indifference. It furnishes to the mind limits for contemplation equal to the most active range of the imagination. When the subject is completely understood & all the advantages flowing from the event are thrown into one aggregate mass, it will be considered as second only in importance to the establishment of national independence. The cession secures the nation from the more easy insinuations of foreign intrigue; the facility of invasion by an enemy situated on the borders of the empire, the prospects of war, and the dangers of both Indian aggression and negro insurrections. It destroys the necessity for those enormous national debts which have ruined the liberties and the genuine glory of Europe. It extends the empire of republicanism, by giving a preponderating influence to the agricultural class, who in all ages have been peculiarly devoted to liberty. It opens all the avenues of commerce from the most remote regions of the Earth, to every part of North America. By these means, the opulence of the soil, which may be considered as the inexhaustible capital of the nation, is brought into action. Upon the profits of such a boundless commerce, the life of man will enjoy all its comforts of whatever is ornamental or necessary, through the generations of the most remote periods of time. But whilst these are a part of the general benefits to be derived from the cession, there is one which strikes the mind as peculiar to the western country alone. The free navigation of the Mississippi is now secured. It is the only great outlet by which the productions of the soil can be wafted to the ocean. It is the great channel through which the wealth of other nations must flow into our country, and the only safe avenue, by which our own interior resources can be pushed into active operation. No ruinous fluctuations in commerce need now be apprehended. Agriculture may depend upon those steady markets which trade shall open to industry. It may expect to reap all the advantages that must flow from a strict union of the interests of the cultivator and exporter. There is no neighboring nation to rival it either in luxuriance of soil, the quantity or similitudes of productions, or the same facility of navigation. The mountains separate us from every region of the globe; and our fertile valley, with whatever it abounds, in either quantity or quality, are peculiarly our own. Under this aspect of our real situation, we have nothing more to do than to act. If we are truly wise, we will accept the offerings of nature thrown profusely on our hands, and put into immediate operation all those means, by which the happiness of the country can be best promoted. But to effect this great end, the public mind must be informed. Correct principles on the subject of political economy, which in their operation shall lead to the easiest and most certain means, must be understood and adopted. I shall therefore take the liberty from time to time, of viewing this important subject in a variety of relations. I shall exhibit to the farmer, as far as my capacity extends, a correct view of his interest in the prudent appropriations of his labour; trace out the chain that inflexibly binds him to the commercial class of exporters only, and shew the ruinous influence of that policy which exhausts
the natural capital of a state, without yielding an adequate return of profit to balance the delinquency.
ARISTIDES.
As the above subject is universally important, the respective Printers in the Western Country, are requested to give each number a publication, as it may appear.
LONDON, June 17. War against Holland!!!
Lord Hawkesbury, at the bar of the house, presented the following most gracious message from his majesty: GEORGE R.
His majesty thinks it right to inform the House of Commons, that, from an anxious desire to prevent the calamities of war being extended to the Batavian Republic, he communicated to that government his disposition to respect their neutrality, provided that a similar disposition was manifested on the part of the French government, and that the French forces were forthwith withdrawn from the territories of the Batavian Republic. This proposition not having been admitted by the government of France, and measures having been recently taken by them, in direct violation of the independence of the Batavian Republic, his majesty judged it expedient to direct his minister to leave the Hague; and he has since given orders that letters of marque and general reprisals should be issued against the Batavian Republic and its subjects.
His majesty has at all times manifested the deepest and most lively interest for the prosperity and independence of the United provinces. He has recourse to these proceedings with the most sincere regret, but the conduct of the French government has left no alternative; and in adopting these measures he is actuated by a sense of what is due to his own dignity, and to the security and essential interests of his dominions.
[After the message was read, an address of thanks for the communication passed memine contradicente. ]
FAINT SYMPTOMS OF PACIFICATION.
June 18.
Nothing is more certain, than that ministers are acting up to the full extent of the pledge given by Lord Hawkesbury in the house of Commons on Mr. Fox's motion, namely, that they would not only accept the mediation of Russia, but represent their cause to that power, with a view of engaging its good offices as a mediator. Mr. Rofs the messenger, no doubt brought important advices on this head a few days ago from St. Peterburgh. A counter part of them, in substance, was probably sent off at the same time to the Russian minister at Paris. This occasioned the sending over of a messenger to the Russian Ambassador in London, on whose dispatches, as communicated to Lord Hawkesbury by Count Woronzow, a Cabinet Council sat yesterday; at which almost all the Cabinet Ministers, among others, Earl St. Vincent, were present. The result was sent off to the King at Windsor.
It is no ordinary messenger who bro't these dispatches from Paris, but M. de Lansboy, a Russian Count. It is said he came with a distinct proposition from St. Peterburgh to Paris, which after having been acceded to by the Chief Consul, was forwarded to this country. The nature of this proposition we shall not attempt to guess. A few days will probably, throw some light upon the business; at present all is mere conjecture. The mediation of Russia is now much the subject of conversation.
A Calais article states, that M. Otto passed through that city some days ago, and embarked with his suite.—(A Paris paper infers from this, that the negotiation with England will be renewed.)
PARIS, June 10.
CAPITULATION OF HANOVER.
Edward Mortier, Lieutenant-general commanding in chief, to the minister at war.
Head-Quarters at Niewburgh, June 12.
"Citizen minister."
"I had the honor to inform you, by my letter of the 10th inst. of the march of the French army towards Hanover. After a march excessively fatiguing across arid sands and marshy heaths, I took a position on the 31st before Wechte. I was assured that the enemy guarded the line of the Hunte, Gen. Hammerstein, commanding the advanced guard of the king of England occupied Diepholtz with the second and sixth regiments of infantry, two regiments of cavalry and a division of artillery. I made my dispositions to dislodge him on the following morning. The second division commanded by Gen. Schines, that of cavalry under the orders of gen. Hanrourp received orders to post themselves on Goldenstadt, to force the passage of the Hunte, and to cut off every thing they might find between that place and Diepholtz, which the division of general Montrichard had orders briskly to attack. The enemy seeing that by
this movement he was turned on his right, retired during the night to Berlin.
"On the first inst. the advanced guard, commanded by gen. Drouer, had a warm skirmish before Bauven, with the rear guard of the enemy."
"On the 2d the army united before Suhligen; the advanced guard moved towards Berlin—it here fell in with the enemy, & notwithstanding the superiority of numbers, and the extreme fatigue of the troops, who had that day marched twelve leagues, general Drouer gave the order to attack. The enemy kept up a warm cannonade. Some squadrons of the second regiment of hussars charged with valour the right wing of the 9th regiment—they broke the line of that corps, who fled, and we took several prisoners."
"I was informed by my spies, that the head of the bridge of Niewburgh was repaired, and that the enemy had collected all his artillery on the right bank of the Wefer. I saw how important it was for me to precipitate my movements. I marched my reserve artillery, and I made all my dispositions to push and beat every thing before me in the Wefer, to force the bridge of Niewburgh, or to pass behind Stolzau, and intercept by that means the communication with the capital."
"The troops were in march when the civil and military deputies of the regency of Hanover presented themselves before my advanced posts; they invited me to suspend my march, and that they were ready to make advantageous propositions."
"My answer was in the negative—they returned to make me new propositions. I informed them I would listen to none, unless I had the certainty of occupying Hanover, & particularly, all the strong places belonging to it. After a long discussion, they signed a convention, which I accepted, under the condition that it should be ratified by the respective governments. You will see that the army of the king of England are prisoners of war, and that I am master of the whole country, and particularly of the mouths of the Elbe and Wefer."
"I have given orders to seize all the vessels which are on those rivers. The duke of Cambridge and governor of Hanover, thought it proper to give in his resignation before the battle, and to make his retreat in haste! He had however promised to die with the Levy en masse."
"We found at Niewburgh, fourteen thousand new muskets, and a good deal of artillery. According to the accounts rendered to me, I presume that I shall find in the magazines and places of Hanover, about 100,000 muskets, and more than 1000 cannon."
"I shall be the day after to-morrow in the city of Hanover, the continental capital of the king of England. I have found a considerable number of horses for remounting the cavalry and artillery carriages."
"Much praise is due to the care and zeal of gen. Dulauly."

PHILADELPHIA, August 19.
Summary of Intelligence.
By London papers to the 1st of July inclusive, brought by the ship Delaware, we learn, that parliament does not appear to be engaged in business of much interest. The latest French papers received in England contained no information of consequence. Bonaparte was visiting the French ports upon the channel. He had been at Boulogne, and was supposed to have arrived at Calais. The gallant Sir Sidney Smith was in the channel, and it was presumed would at least salute the first consul for the purpose of renewing the acquaintance so happily formed at Acre.
An active correspondence was carrying on between the courts of London, Peterburgh and Paris, through the mediation of the Russian ministers at London and Paris—but in England, they did not expect peace to be the result.
The French army was in entire possession of Hanover and its dependencies—all expectations of an interference from the Northern Powers, as to the affairs of Hanover, the Hans towns and the Elb, had vanished, and England began to view their intentions with some degree of suspicion, as being hostile to her interests. Certain it was, that a considerable Russian armament was fitting out with great activity.
The Batavian Ambassador had left England, and letters of marque and general reprisal were issued against the republic. Mr. Lisson and family had arrived from the Hague, and was to go out immediately on an extraordinary embassy to Copenhagen. The Duke of Cambridge had arrived in England, and was appointed lieut. gen. in the army, being the same rank which he held in Hanover. An expedition was constantly spoken of, to be sent from Malplaquet to re-occupy Alexandria.—An immediate attack was expected to be made by the French on the islands of Jersey and Guernsey—Five frigates had been despatched for their protection—Great exertions were making in all the Channel Ports of France, to fit out gunboats.—The packet boats continue to run between England and France. It is stated that in one of these, 20 cases of garden seeds went from Dover for Madame Bonaparte!—The First Consul had issued orders to the privateers and ships of war to detain all English passengers and seamen, even out of neutral vessels. The French funds were at 48.
Vast numbers of homeward bound French and Dutch vessels, with rich cargoes, had been captured by the English. The number sent into Plymouth only was 105, the computed value of which was a million and a half.
Defensive preparations were making with great activity all along the channel coast—Forty thousand supplementary militia were to be immediately drafted and trained, under the title of the Army of Reserve—Substitutes were at from 15l. to 20l. per man. The ministers contract for the new loan, was considered as very advantageous. For a day or two the Omium was at a premium of one per cent, in the market—then fell to disc. and proceeded to 4 per cent disc. Great fears were entertained for the contractors on the day that the first installment became payable. It was paid however, with promptness, after which the Om. bore a better price. On the 22d of June it was at 2 per cent disc. The minister had rejected the terms offered for the New Lottery, and declared that if a better price was not offered by the parties, he would raise the supplies in another way. The East India Company had expressed their intentions of opposing the extravagant new duty proposed to be laid on Tea.

A great degree of unanimity appears to prevail amongst the people of England in support of the war. The late abundant rains gave a prospect of a good harvest all through the country. The price of bread was 9d per quarter loaf—Barley and potatoes very low—Port wine in consequence of the new duty, had risen from 4s. to 5s. the bottle, and other wines in proportion.
Mr. Tierney had gained his election for the borough of Southwark. Sir Thomas Turton had demanded a scrutiny.
FROM LIVERPOOL, July 2. By a late decree of the French government, all merchandise shipped in this country, is prohibited from being landed in France, and accounts are just received, that the mouth of the Elbe is blockaded by the British, and no vessel of whatever country, permitted to enter or go out of that river—the demand in consequence, for sugar, coffee, and other export produce is nearly suspended; and unless a vent is soon opened in some ports on the continent, to carry off the produce, which is now accumulating, we fear, that the stagnation which will be put to this branch of our trade, added to the scarcity of money, will operate unfavourably on the prices; but if we find other convenient ports for the sale of export produce, it is likely the present quotations will be maintained.
Immediately after the commencement of hostilities, grain and flour advanced in price; but as it is generally believed, that there is a larger flock of grain in the country than has been for some years at the same season, and the growing corn being considerable in quantity, and thus far promising in appearance, most articles of provisions have declined in price. Good American wheat may be quoted at from 8s. 3d. to 8s. 6d. per 70lb. but as several of our mills cannot at present work, owing to the light winds and scarcity of water, there is no demand for it. Flour however, in consequence of this, is in demand at 33s. per barrel—this is a very low price, but we do not expect any advance, unless the light winds and drought should continue for a length of time, or that we should have unfavorable weather for the growing corn.
The permission to import grain and flour free of duty, which has been from time to time renewed, has now ceased; and the old corn laws again took effect on the first inst. The permission however, is extended with respect to beef and pork, which may be imported free of duty, till the 30th of Sept. next.
Port and pearl ashes, in consequence of some speculations, experienced an advance during last month, but the demand has now ceased, and prices seem rather on the decline.
The suspension of our export trade to the continent of Europe, materially affects cotton, and the sales for some time past have been very limited—Upland Georgia, may be quoted at 12 a 13 1-2d per lb. fine qualities may be considered rather more valuable, but there are few fine Uplands in the market, the late importations being generally inferior.
An act has just been passed for consolidating the important duties which occasion some alteration, and these shall be noticed in our next prices current, which we intend to send you in a few days. We may also mention that a bill is now before parliament for imposing additional duties upon several articles of importation, and likewise an export duty of 3 per cent.—Probably the bill may undergo some alteration, and it is not therefore necessary for us to mention the particulars of it, but when it has passed we hope duly to inform you; amongst the new duties proposed is one of 1d per lb. on Cotton Wool imported.
FROM GIBRALTAR. Capt. Swett, arrived at Boston on the 12th inst. in 46 days from Gibraltar informs, that passports had been granted by the American Commodore, and the Consuls at Gibraltar, and Tangiers, permitting a Tripolitan ship to sail under Moorish colors, as a Moorish ship, and her Tripolitan papers were left sealed up in the care of Mr. Gavino—She was manned with 8 Moors, and bound for Tunis; and the Tripolitan captain was permitted to take passage in her. On her way up she stopped at Gibraltar and took in more men, with whose assistance the captain overpowered the Moors, and was going into Tripoli; when she was met and captured by the United States frigate John Adams, and sent into Malta.
An English merchantman arrived at Gibraltar, a few days previous to Capt. S's sailing, and reported that the had spoken six Tripolitan cruisers in the Gulf of Venice.
Many neutrals had been brought in, on suspicion. Among them the Randal, a valuable ship from the Isle of France, and several vessels from St. Domingo.
LONGITUDE. The Greenock Advertiser of the 17th June, contains the following article—“We have the pleasure to announce an event of the most extraordinary and important nature. A scientific gentleman of great abilities has discovered a method of ascertaining the Longitude. He has favored us with the inspection of his papers; and authorized us to promise their publication through the medium of this paper. The public therefore, and the naval world, in particular, are respectfully informed that we are making the necessary arrangements for this purpose.” British Neptune.
NEW-YORK, August 17. The ship Delaware, captain Beebe, arrived this morning from Liverpool. Her letters and papers are to the 2d of July. The following is a letter received by a mercantile house here, dated the 1st of July.
“We have now to advise, that in consequence of the situations the French have occupied at the mouth of the Elbe and Weser, to prevent our ships from occupying the same, Our government has declared both rivers to be in a state of BLOCKADE against all shipping whatever, until Prussia shall guarantee the accustomed freedom of trading to Hamburg, and the other towns on their banks. What effect this determined measure may produce, it is impossible to foresee. But meanwhile all business is put a stop to, and nothing has been doing for some time past in sugar, coffee, or the West-India articles.”
“Notice. His Britannic Majesty has judged it expedient to establish the most rigorous blockade at the entrance of the mouth of the river Elbe, and enforce the same in the strictest manner, according to the usages of war, acknowledged and allowed in similar cases.”

LEXINGTON, SEPTEMBER 6. “Hail wedded Love.” MARRIED On Sunday evening last, by the Rev. James Moore, Mr. DAVID SUTTON, to the agreeable Miss JULIET MAY, both of this place. From the Virginia Telegraph.
“By the Kentucky Gazette, of Au-gust 9, it appears, that the result of the elections are not yet known. In the second and fifth districts two are elected without opposition, John Boyle for the former, and John Fow-ler for the latter.”
“Mac Lyon has returned, and it is conjectured he will be sent to Congress, to represent the first dis-trict of Kentucky.—The paper does not state whether he brought back M'Dougle's wife, or whether he re-turned without her.”
“Remarks on the above. The advertisement announcing the elopement of Col. Mathew Lyon with M'Dougle's wife, was a gross falsehood, inferred at the request of an avowed federalist, who was willing to serve a faction at the expence of honor and truth. The lie was adapted to the de-praved palates of federal editors, and has adorned a column in almost every paper of that description on the conti-nent. Altho' a respectable gentleman from Kentucky gave a correct account of the transaction in the Baltimore prints—Altho' the editor of the paper in which the paragraph originally appeared has been long convinced that the in-ferences warranted by M'Dougle's ad-vertisement, did the grossest injustice to the character of Col. Lyon—Altho' every man, woman, and child in Kentucky, capable of forming an opinion on the subject, is well satisfied that the conduct of Col. Lyon, in the instance alluded to, was irreprehensible; yet the slander is too precious to be lost, and continues to furnish matter of calumny to every federal editor, whose imagination is too sterile to invent a new falsehood. In this country where the truth is known, the retailers of these gross and illiberal calumnies are viewed in their proper co-lours. Miserable indeed must be the principles of the party who build their popularity upon the fabrication of false-hood, and the dissemination of vulgar inuendo.”
“We are informed there was a man found dead on the Natchez road, a few days ago, about ten miles the o-ther side of Duck river, he was sup-posed to be a Mr. Brasfield from Kentucky—it is supposed he was murdered, (Ten. Gaz.)”
PARIS, June 27. Letters from Brussels state, that a large ar-med American vessel had fallen in with an Al-gerine frigate, and that after a very warm en-gagement, she was compelled to surrender to superior force. Mr. Smith, late American charge d'affairs at Naples, was on board this vessel, on his return home.
WASHINGTON CITY, August 22. Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated the 18th June 1803. “Captain Etchamie (a native of this place in the Portuguese service) went off Algiers a few days ago in a 74, manned in Lisbon with about 800 volunteers and his four guns, to en-deavor to retake the 44 gun frigate captured last summer; close to said port he fell in with a 44 gun frigate, a brig and zebec, when it fell calm, which gave an opportunity for boats coming to their assistance from Algiers, and towing them into port. The zebec he captured, took 100 and odd men out, and then sunk the vessel. He chased the others so close in as to exchange shot with the Mole batteries. He is now here on his way to Lisbon.”
“On board the zebec, captured by cap-tain Etchamie, there were 12 Neapolitans, who they were carrying to slavery.”
NEW YORK, August 19. Captain William Henry, of the ship Oliver Elsworth, who arrived here last evening in 36 days from Rochelle, has favored the Editors of this Gazette with regular files of the Moniteur, Glef du Cabinet, and Journal des Debats, as late as the 6th of July. It was too late to procure a translation for this day's Ga-zette.
Capt. Henry informs, that great pre-parations were making for the invasion of England. Bonaparte was visiting the coasts of France. On the first of July he was at Bologna, where he re-viewed the batteries &c. of that port. Admiral La Crosse, from Guadalupe, in the frigate La Consolate, had arrived at Rochefort—On her passage, she captured a British 20 gun ship.
Mr. Jay is the bearer of dispatches for government. They contain the offi-cial ratification of the convention for the cession of Louisiana, on the part of France.

AN ELLEGY, Written in a Country Church-Yard.
THE curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, The ploughman homeward plods his weary way And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
Now fades the glim'ring landscape on the sight, And all the air a solemn stillness holds, Save where the beetle wheels his drony flight, And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds.
Save that, from yonder ivy mantled tower, The moping owl does to the moon complain Of such, as wand'ring near her secret bower, Molest her ancient solitary reign.
Beneath those rugged elms, that yew tree's shade, Where heaves the turf in many a mould'ring heap, Each in his narrow cell forever laid, The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
The breezy call of incense-breathing morn, The swallow twitt'ring from the straw-built shed, The cock, shrill clarion, or the echoing horn, No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed.
For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn, Or busy housewife ply her evening care: No children run to list their sire's return, Or climb his knees the envied kiss to share.
Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield, Their furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke, How jocund did they drive their teams afield! How bow'd the woods beneath their sturdy stroke!
Let not ambition mock their useful toil, Their homely joys, and destiny obscure; Nor grandeur hear with a disdainful smile, The short and simple annals of the poor.
The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave, Await, alike, th' inevitable hour; The paths of glory lead but to the grave.
Nor you, ye proud, impute to these the fault, If mem'ry o'er their tomb no trophies raise, Where thro' the long-drawn aisle & fretted vault, The pealing anthems swell the note of praise.
Can storied urn, or animated bust, Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath? Can Honour's voice provoke the silent dust, Or Flatt'ry sooth the dull cold ear of death?
Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire; Hands, that the rod of empire might have Or wuk'd to extract the living lyre.
But knowledge to their eyes her ample page, Rich with the spoils of Time, did ne'er un- roll, Chill penury repress'd their noble rage, And from the genial current of the soul.
Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear. Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air.
Some village Hampden, that with dauntless breast The little tyrant of his fields withheld; Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest; Some Cromwell guileless of his country's blood.
The applause of list'ning senates to command, The threats of pain and ruin to despise, To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land, And read their history in a nations eyes.
Their lot forbade: nor circumscriv'd alone, Their growing virtues, but their crimes con- fin'd; Forbade to wade through slaughter to a throne, And shut the gates of mercy on mankind;
The struggling pangs of conscious truth to hide, To quench the blushes of ingenious shame, Or heap the shrine of Luxury and Pride With incense kindled at the Muse's flame.
Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray; Along the cool sequester'd vale of life, They kept the noiseless tenor of their way,
Yet even these bones from insult to protect, Some frail memorial still erected nigh, With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture deck'd, Implores the passing tribute of a sigh.
Their name, their years, spelt by th' unletter'd muse, The place of fame and elegy supply: And many a holy text around she strews, That teach the rustic moralist to die.
For who, to dumb forgetfulness a prey, This pleasing anxious being e'er resign'd, Left the warm precincts of the cheerful day, Nor cast one longing, lingering look behind
On some fond breast the parting soul relies, Some pious drops the closing eye requires: Ev'n from the tomb the voice of nature cries, Ev'n in our ashes live their wonted fires.
For thee, who, mindful of th' unhonour'd dead Dost in these lines their artless tale relate; If chance, by lonely contemplation led, Some kindred spirit shall enquire thy fate,
And some hoary-headed swain may say, Oft have we seen him at the peep of dawn, Trudging with hasty steps, the dews away, To meet the fun upon the upland lawn.
There at the foot of yonder nodding beech, That stretches its old fantastic roots so high, His listless length at noon-tide would he stretch, And pore upon the brook that bubbles by.
And pore upon the brook that bubbles by, Hard by yon wood, now smiling, as in scorn, Muttering his wayward fancies, he would rove;
Now drooping, woeful wan, like one forlorn, Or craz'd with care, or cross'd in hopeless love.
One morn I miss'd him on the custom'd hill, Along the heath and, near his fav'rite tree Another came; nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he.
The next, with dirges due, in sad array, Slow thro' the church-yard path we saw him borne; Approach and read (for thou canst read) the Grav'd on the stone beneath yon aged thorn."
THE EPITAPH. Here rests his head upon the lap of earth, A Youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown; Fair Science frown'd not on his humble birth, And Melancholy mark'd him for her own.
Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere, Heav'n did a recompense as largely send: He gave to Mis'ry all he had, a tear; He gain'd from Heav'n ('twas all he wish'd) a friend.
No farther seek his merits to disclose, Or draw his frailties from their dread a- thore, As they alike in trembling hope repose, The bosom of his Father and his God.
DIVERSITY.
IN a late London paper, under the head of Clerkenwell Sessions, is an ac- count of the trial of a master chimney- sweep, for ill-treating an apprentice; and among other things, it was said by the reporter, proved, that the prisoner "had been in the habit of band-cuffing the small part of the boy's legs, at night!"
