THE HERO'. GRAVE.

Mirth, awhile thy crew reivrain,
Comrades, join a Soldier's tear;
Mark the fad and folemn train,
Weeping o'er their Gen'ral's bier.
Moungul fighs their grief proclaim,
Tribute to the good and brave;
Think on Aszaeaomar's fame,
While tears bedcw their Hero's grave.

IL
Gentle was his feeling brad,
Smiles adore'd his manly brow
And alone his beast deprefed,
Ilfhelt mourning o'er a captive fee.
Zre canfign'd to parent Earth,
Halta the young, the good, the brave,
Dwell on ASIR CILOMIT'S worth,
While tears bedew the Hero's grave.

of a difpolition to render revenue only a fecondary
confideration in managing the important concerns
of the Britifh Empire ; and we hope to fee the
day when a tax, amounting to a prohibition, will
be impofed on certain articles, which tend more
to injure the health, and to corrupt and deprave
the minds of the lower claffes oldie community,
than any other caufe whatever.
