Loring promptly performed, in the pres

fair, handsome, and legible handwriting.

6 An eagle was towering over barn-yard.

soaring in the air. But in soaring in the air,
it was surprized the animal which it caught
was not the hare, but the cat. The eagle
said to the cat, slacken your hold on my neck
The cat said to the eagle | will not finish to

To say that we were astonished and
delighted, expresses but little of the ar

interesting occasion; and if envy of the

marks relative to .faLies, which induced
the President to relate an aneedote of
Dcet. Franklin, viz.-The Doctor was
in company with some of bis literary
friends in London, when the subject of,
fables was the topick of conversation.
Hseemedto be the general sentiment chat
the subject was exhausted. The Doc
tor was appealed to for his opinion, who
said that he thought quire otherwise, and
that there was still rich fund, on which
future Hsops might delight and instruct
mankind. Lord Spencer asked him 10
give them specimen of his powers in
that science. The dispute between
Great-Britain and her colonies had been
under discussion; when, in aliusion to
that subject, he fabricated the following
fable, which may be considered prophet

her hind paws, so that he could with difficulty

worse, she had seized his throat with her laws :
and above all, he found to his sorrow, that he

HAIL to the land whereon we tread,
Our fondest boast;
The sepalchre OF mighty dead,
The truest hearts that ever bled,
Who sleep on g!ory's brightest bed,
A fearless host
No slave is here-our unchain'd feet
Walk freely as the waves that beat
Our coast.
Our fathers cross'd the oceans wave
To seek this shore
They left behind the coward slave
TO weller in his living grave:
With hearts unbent, high, steady, brave,
They sternly bore
Such tolls as meaner souls had quell'd;
But souls like these such tolls impelI'd
To soar
Hail to the moon, when first they stood
On Bunker's height;
And fearless stemm'd the invading food.
And wrote our dearest rights in Blood.
And mow'd in ranks the hirefng brood,
In desperate fight.
o. twas proud, exalting day,
For ev'n our fallen fortunes lay
In hight.
There is no other land Ike thee,
No dearer shore
Thou art the shelter of the free !;
The home, the port of liberty
Thou hast been, and shalt ever be,
Till time is DER.
Ere forget TO think upon
My land, shall mother curse the son
She bore.
Thou art the firm mistaken rock,
On which we rest
And, rising from thy hardy stock,
Thy sons the tyrant's frown shah mock,
And free the oppress'd
All, who the wreath OF freedom Irvine,
Beneath the shadow Of their vine,
Are blest.
We love the rude and racl1y shore,
And here We siand.
Let foreign navies hasten or,
And on our heads their fury pour,
And peal their lannon's loudest roar,
And storm our land:
They still shall find our lives are ciy,n
To'die for home: and leant On heayTn
Our hand.
