POETRY.
From the american Daily Advertiser.
"AMERICAN BARDS."

Nh PoUIsoN-The author of the above poem,
frecenty published by NJ. Thomss,) will. hope,
excuse the selection Of the following apostruphe 70
the eastern section of our country, from his justly
admired work. The extract is equally honorable
to his patriotism an American, and to his genius
as poet. II. r.
LOVE that Country where the ERE arose,
That scath'd the efforts of our earliest Foes,
And now serenely beams its living light
Where all before was slavery and night;
I love that patriot land, where Bunker-hill
Heard the first shout of Freedom, loud and shrill,
And gallant PUTNAM won the glorious name
Which hoary envy labours to defamei
love that land, whose naval nursery gave
The Tars that fought and conquered on the wave;
Where HULL and PERRY nursed the patriot
pride,
That long has rode triumphant DER the tide;
Hove that country where the maiden's bloom,
In artless beauty, decks her happy home,
Blending its charms with that inspected heart,
Which lives in nature, undefed by art;
Where moral precepts bend the steps of youth
To pleasant paths Of pority and truth;
Where reasons voice, her hardy sons obey,
And calm Religion sheds her peaceful ray;
/ love the land, where ADAMS, HANCOCK,
AMES,
Have stamped the records of their peerless names,
And " steady habits mingle with the state,
Rise over scorn, and triumph over hate.

TEE EARL OF ROCHESTER.

4 d.
In the reign Of Charles the Second, iofd
Lauderdale coming one day to court 10
lord Rochester's week OF waiting, desired
admittance to his majesty, but was refused
and told by Rochester that he was very
ILL: Lauderdale came constantly every
| day during Rochester's week, and as reg
ularly received the same answer; al
which being surprised, he asked Rocbes-
ter what was the nature Of his Inajesty's
| illness who told him the king had ses 3
sore nose. Lauderdale came to court inc
next day, and another lord being 10 wait
ling, was Immediately introduced to the
presence chamber: the king expressed
his amazement for not seeing him Tor SO
many days, and on being informed Of Inc
impeachment, called for Rochester, and
demanded bis reasons for saying he had
got sore nose. Rochester replied, May
il please your majesty, had been led SO
long by the nose as you have been by
Lauderdale, am sure mine would have
been sore: so conceived 1t at least my
duty 10 deny all access TO the immediate
cause Of your majesty's disorder"
