POETRY.
From the Floridian,
ELEGANT STANZAs.

The following illusions being characterized
BY an unusual degree of pathos and delicacy
it is presumed that the taste of the readers o
the Floridan will be gratifed by their inser
ton. The first is from the pen of r. II. Wilde
Esq. distinguished advocate of Georgia--Th,
answer has for its author a lady of Baltimore
who appears indeed to out-argue the lawyer
in the court of the MUSES., having however
the right side of this "questio vexata."
sTANZAS.
My life is like the summer rose,
That opens to the morning sky,
But ere the shades of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground to die;
Yet on that roses humble bed,
The sweetest dews of night are shed,
As if she wept such waste to see,
But none shall weep tear for me.
My life is like the autumn leaf,
That trembles in the moons pale ray;
Its hold is frail; its date is brief,
Restless, and soon to pass away;
Yet ere that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree shall mourn its shade,
The winds bowsil the leaflcss tree,
But none shall breathe sigh for me.
My life is ike the prints, which feet
Have left on Temples Desert strand,
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
All trace will vanish from the sand;
Yet as if grieving to efiace,
All vestige of the human race,
On that lone shore loud mourns the sea,
But none alas shall mourn for me.

i, will be found that the nation is taxed
on this account more than SIX MILLION
DOLLARS annually!
Six million dollars will pay for the
canal from Lake Erie to the Hudson.
Six million dollars will open saltwater
navigation across the Allegheny noun
tains from the Ohio to the Chesapeake.
Six million dollars is more than the an
nual expense of the national government
under Washlng,on's administration. Six
million dollars, annually, would, in few
years, extinguish our national debt. Six
million dollars per annum, would supply
twenty ships OF the line, and twenty FIRST
rate frigates in actual service. Six mil.
lion dollars, annually for twenty years,
would supply every family on the earth
with Bible.
Let it be remembered, then, that in
temperance is the cause oe the heaviest
TAX which is paid by the people, and lie,
no man hereafter complain of the weight
of taxes who refuses support TO associa-
tons for the suppression ofintemperance.
II our Representative wish to build roads
and canals without increasing the bur-
dens oil their constituents, let them sup
press tipping houses. II the national
government wish to increase The navy,
let them tax whiskey; and il The Chris
tan phianthropist wish to confer doo-
Bile benefit upon his species, he will do
all IN his power to destroy those vices
among his own coun:rymen, which now
exhaust his income, that he may have a
larger charity to bestow upon the perish
ing heather.

From the Frederick Md Republican Gazette.
We at one time faltered ourselves
with the hope that the present year would
terminate withou, those ravages Of dis
case which have prevailed in places
which were before considered as healthy
as any in the United States. But we arc
sorry 10 say, that from accounts lately
received, there is good reason to fear,
that the approaching fall season will, be
as sickly as in times past. We have
heard of one family living on Monococy,
where there are sick; and persons who
reside in other paris OF the county have
informed US that sickness begins to pre-
vail.
Since wiring the above remarks, we
have been informed that many have been
attacked with sickness in this place
Here we have always been more healthy
than the people of the surrounding coun-
try; and persons from the country came
last year to Frederick 10 reside during
the sickly season.

Last ednesday night, it was ascertained
