Albeit, though 'cros, my frovning brow
JOYS sicslg ray not often Hits,
ys. iist'ning to YOUR voices now
A thousand cares my soul iorgets.
I sigh--to think my infant hours
Have fied on nasty ptnions nrght

No rose On Weld my soul delight.
like Vol, nv artiess hands filled
With how'rs of ev Try varied hue;
Whilst DER INV sports parent smiPd,

That in the moon beam biushins slept;
Fann'd by tue wild bees downy wing,
And nlrs'd with tears that ev'nins wePt.
Nor snew xovember's angry storm
Would search the thicket where It bloomd
And cast ID earth its blishte form,
Midst groves of faded vews entemo'd!

When Peace, sweet nyInph was ever found
With yreathes whose ;ragrence could not last
ryining for ne her temples round
For n1w, | mourn that gentle hand,

The storm nath broke her wy wand,
And Larn'd her silver lutte to stone.

Though nc their shade must charm nc

No grief disturb'd MY peaceful way:
When, floatias proud. my bark was seen,
With s,lken sail and streSmers gay.
Alas too soon its fragile form,
On times conflicting surses tost,
Approach'd the shore, and in the storm.
NV bark Sas wrecked, my hopes were lost

That through life's frownirg forest leads
Where each sad heart must tear its load;
Howe'er beneath the weight 1t bleeds

Nor 2anss that from remembrance flow,
While all seems Joy and mirth around.

When shall rest, by all forgot:

No time will from yo~r mem'ries blot.
Methinks my spirit. lingering near,

And watch the frequent fiIial tear,

When We shall meet around my pillow;
And with full heart, and streaming eye,

resolve was passed, on Monday last allowing sum
of money to Dnvid Gray, for revolutionary services

considerable figure in MIR. Cooper's Novel of the

THE BRIDGE.
own house,

We have been requested by one Of the Directors
Of the Wilmington Bridge company to exculpate
Mrs Warner from the odium OF shutting the gate
at the Bridge, against the Fire Engines, &c. on the
morning that Mr.. Garesche's Powder Mills blew UP,
and demanding toll, and insisting on its being paid
previous to passing over. 1t gives us sincere plea
sure 10 exonei ate Mrs. Warner from all blame or
even censure on this occasion. We are induced to
believe, that while she was performing an act of
supererogation, she conceived she was doing no
more than the obligation oil her duty to the interest
of the Bridge Company required OF her; not re-
ecting in the moment OF hurry and confusion, that
the toll might be paid on returning, if paid it must
be on such occasions Where, we ask were the
Directors Of this Company from the time the first
alarm was given by the blowing up of the works,
until the Fire Companies with their Engines, SC.
had arrived at the Bridge, and the gate been shut
against them for at least the space of Ten minutes
The whole weight of this reprehensble and disgrace
full business settles down ON the shoulders Of the
Directors, and there we leave it.
A praiseworthy Indignation at this ignominious
act, pervades the bosoms of our citizens, which is
increased the more they reflect upon it. And they
demand, and have right to do so, whether the Di
rectors have made atonement for their inhumanity
lby nsructlng their representative at the Bridge IN
case Of future Danger and alarm, where they Cal
render assistance, to permit them to pass unmoles-
tied? Or when the property Of our fellow citizens
who reside on the south side of the Creek, is en-
veioped in the devouring flames, or in any wise en-
dangered; or when they are suffering agones whict
DEFY description, Gas was the case in the recent dis
dressing occurrence.) and the citizens from town
prompted by sympathy, are fastening to afford then
assistance and relief they still to be stopped by tht
griping, greedy hand OF Implying avarice, asking
with an efirontery and Indifference OF which hea
then would he ashamed, tor the pattry sim ola feu
lCENTS before they shall be permitted to ex
erciset the Offices of charity!
i o. it is worthy OF all iniamy and the reprobatoi
of every honest heart that whilst these Director
are thus setting themselves up as barrier between
beneyoence and distress whilst they will not per
NIT funeral to 60 over their Bridge without paying
and whilst they will not suffer man on the Sab
