DIED..

At New York, Monday morning, at II
o'clock the Rev. JOHN SUMMERFIELD, in the
27th. year Of his age, and the eighth year Of his
ministry.
Every one who knew him, loved him, and will
mourn The Christian Church will MOURN
And with the numerous denomination to which
he shone like ametcor of heavenly light, his loss
will be irrcparable He was indeed q meteor;--
he shot upon us in 4 twinkllng; shone as it were
but for moment, and sunk to rise upon the
world no more. He was native of the neigh
borhood of Manchester, England, i'll the 9th.
year of his age, and the eighth Of his ministry.
Of his personal appearance we need not speak.
Who that has seen him, but retains distinct
impression of his graceful form, his comely fea-
lures, and the sweet bengnity of his countenance
beaminp as it were celestial light! of his char
acter we speak not. Who that has known him
ever knew being partakng of the frail nature
of humanity more spotlcss and lovely! of his
cloquence we need not speak Who that has
listened to the silver tones of his voice, the fer
vent rains of his manner, and his soul-moving
eIoquence-but has felt his bosom thrill within
him. as he wiped the gushing tear from his check.
But he is no more. That form Of beautiful sym
etrv is laid low:-that countenancc which but a
few weeks since bcamcd with intelligence aud
grace, is now cold and pallid-that tongue whose
every movement was melody, is mute Bat al
ter all, we should not grieve too much, for
s'Tis great to pause and think.
III what brighter world than this his spirit shines
How very near he is 10 Jesus. For sure he must
| be near
To him in heaven, who did SO love his name on
earth
And now he's wash'd his mortal car and sins away,
And now he drinks the consultations ola Saviour's
love,
And nov he tunes his voice to angel themes.
And now he joins band, the rapture of whose
song
I An Angels mind can scarce imagine
| He has suffered much bodily pain and anguish
during his illness, but while his reason was not
driven from her empire, he bore it with the meek
ness and patience Oft lamb. Not sigh nor a
murmr escaped his lips, but all was calm, serene
and bright, when he closed his eyes in death, as
the last rays of the setting sun glanced from the
west upon the mellow light Of autumnal clouds

TIE TREE TOAD.


I am Jolly tree toad, upon chesnut tree;
| chirp, because know that the night was made
for me;
The young bat flies above me, the glcw-worm
shines below,
And the owlet sits to hear me, and half ftorgets his
Pm lighted by the hrc-hy, in circles wheeling
round,
The katy did is silent, and listens to the sound,
The jack -lantern leads the way-worn traveller
astray,
To hear the tree toad's melody until the break Of
day.
The harvest moon hangs over me, and smiles up
OIL the streams;
The lights dance upward from the north, and
cheer me with their beams;
The dew ofheaven, it comes to me as sweet as
beauty's tear;
The stars themselves shoot down to see what mu-
sic we have here.
The winds around me whispers to ev'ry flower
that blows,
To droop their heads, call in their sweets and ev.
cry leaf to close;
The whipperwll sings to his mate the mellow
melody:
ooh bark, and hear the notes that flow from yon
der chcsnut tree
Yc katy-dids and whipperwills, come listen to me
now;
am Jolly tree toad upon chesnut bough;
chir,, because know that the night was made
for me-
And close my proposition with O. z. d.

WASHINGTON.

The following passage of Segur's Mem
ors particularly interesting to an Ameri-
can:
"One OF nv most eager wishes, on my ar
rival in the United States, was to see the
hero of America, General Washington.
Marshal Rochambeau had the goodness to
introduce me to him, in his camp. Often, re-
ality falls far below imagination, and adni-
ration diminshes when its object is seen too
near But at the sight of Washington,
| found a perfect agreement between the
impression which his appearance made
npon me, and the idea which ! had formed
of him. His exterior almost spoke his his
tory; simplicity, dignity, scdatencss, good
ness, firmness---thesc qualities were mark
cd in his face and port, as in his charac-
ter. His stature was noble, lofty the ex-
preston Of his features benevolent, though
energetic; his smile agreeable; and his
nlnners were simple without familiarity.
There was nothing about him of the parade
common with the generals of our monarch
les {: all bespoke the hero OF a rehu6Ac; he
{ inspired rather than commanded respect
you saw in the eyes Of all around him true
affection, and entire confidence. His quar-
tcrs, at small distance from the camp ex-
hibited the image of that order which reign
ed in the whole tenor OF his life and conduct
ANY other man than Washington woult
have failed in the attempt to overcome the
difficulties of his situation his genius ant
wisdom may be appreciated merely from
the fact that, amid the storms of Il revolt
ton, he commanded, during seven years
the army of free people, without ex,
citing the least fear in his country, or th
, least distrust in Congress.
