OH! say does the fever, still hang on that
cheek
Which once was the bed of the rose,
Which, often the sly little bushes would
seek,
To play with its delicate CLOVIS
How Oft have ] seen that blue melting eye,
In all it's rich splendor appear,
Shoot FORTH a ray, thai would rival the sky,
And warm ev'rv heart that was near.
That Sylph little form, as light as the breeze,
| Inviting the graces to play,
Must sit in her bow'r till Saiuss agrees
| To send the arch spoiler away.
Sweet bud of beauty, which ev'ry one loves,
o. be not in haste to be wild,
For Venus will light, surrounded with doves
| To nurse her most favorite child.
The rose and the ray will again be restor'd
And sweet eyed Susan will blush,
When her beauty again is fondly ador'd,
She will not forget to cry "hush."

INCREASING RESOURCES OF THE UNITED
STATES, Sc. =
Each domestic material for carrying on IN
ternal manufactures, and ministering to the
useful arts, may be considered as one of the
me ans for supporting the true independence
of our country. The persecution of this ma :
| ton by the belligerent powers, impe's its
citizens every dav TO seek, at home. those
things which they have heretofore been &C L.
customed to import from foreign places :;
and those governments are now engaged
m making experiment dangerous indeed
or themselves, but invaluable for Amer
cans, 20 what event the people of these
free states can dispense with European con
nec'ions. The friend of improvements at
home will learn with satisfaction, that MAN
0ANEsE has been discovered within the
state ofVermont. A miner,.logist of great
skill IN a late written communication to DR..
Mitchill relates that the black orvd of that
metal abounds in Addison county, already
so distinguished for its ores of iron. The
Manganese is rich and of an excellent DUAL.
Iity. The quantity is considerable enough
FIR all the purposes of internal consumption.
The potterics may have a sufhciency for
glazing their ware. The glass houses can
get an abundant supply for promoting a per.
feet union between the alkali and sand, and
for giving clearness to the material which
hey manufacture. And whenever the bu-
siness of bleaching by aid of the exaggerated
muriatic acid shall be undertaken, the
Manganese necessary for the operation may
he found in Vermont. In short it may be
understood in all manufacturing towns, that
among the MANY good things, which the
United States contain is body of Manga
nese equal to all the domestic consump.-
ton, however extensive that may be /; and
that henceforward, there will be no neces
sity for bringing it any more from beyond
the seas.
