And that "good part" which she so wisely chose,
What time her youth and health were in their bloom
Consoled her spirit at life's awful close,
And babe her shrink not from early tomb.
When DER her COUCH contemplatively bent,
!, through my tears, beheld her strength decline
How gladly this worlds wealth would have spent
For peace like hers ito call her prospect mine
And thou, dear Aunt, whose anxious eve oft view'd
Inc change which sickness made one so dear;
Thou, on whose breast her cheek oft sunk, bedew'd
With many hlial sympathzing
-(Full many tear which kindred sorrows drew.
Thou and REBECCA shed, too well know;
And many cause for many tear We knew,
II to be stripped OF much could make them flow y
Say, if one word pronounced by thee might fetch
REBECCA from the mansions OF her bliss,
Wouldst thou, pronouncing it, consent to snatch
Her spirit back to such a world as this
Check then thy tears i! and let our minds retrieve
The calm which Sorrow, when indulg'd, destroys,
30 shall we prove, that believe
Our loss, her gain, and truly share her Joys.
Besides, thou knowest, we feel within our hearts,
(What every change to thoughtful minds makes plain
That though the Grave may part us, yet it parts,
Like the swift keel the waves-that meet again:
And knell succeeds rapidly to knel
(For lime fits ever! and its fight is feet y
We need not say to her mourn, C FAREWELL
So Soon to follow! soon, trust to meet

COUNTRTllEN!
THE awful crisis is approaching, which
shall place YOU on the verge Of existence, or
dissolution. See the principles of our glori-
Gus Constitution about to be abrogated, and
behold the rapid strides Of the demon of de-
mOcracy. See the three distinct powers Of
the civil government, gradually melting in.
to one mass, and confounded in the Cmnipo-
tence OF the Executive judicial decisions
and senatorial Influence at their disposal
Consider the partialities and preiudices Of
your Executive-our internal situation and
our foreign relations. View the accumula-
ton OF Frenchmen in every part Of the
union, and the domineering ascendency Of
French principles. See Factions Gorron
heads shooting up in all quarters, and rouse
Oh rouse from your death like sIurnbers
The Toosin Of alarn1 may have become
a lullaby; but will not the preparation OF
your letters strike note to your ear which
can be heard
Reason, is no more-Passion and Party
alone rule. Think not then to dam up the
A17l4son with straw. Would you look 20
your rudder for safety in whirlpool To
your energies
The experiment IS now coming to a
conclusion, whether Republican form Of
Government can subsist among men but
will you rest satisfactorily viewing the
business Of the inference without any fur
Their interest in the trial Who then will
be so bold as to predict your condition after
the revolutions of another Sun
The period Of election is at hand-Will
you suffer i to pass without a struggle !!
The amor patris--the spirit of rs is ex-
ilct.--Preserve us heaven, or we die
