There are strange illustrations Of the even
handedness with which Justice returns the
poisoned chalce to the lips Of men. Ed,card
Thomson is at length in prison. after having been
long INDUCED in all The Injuries of his own
splendid establishment. Robert Norris 10 whom
the United States are under many and heavy
obligations, was long involved in pecuniary diff
icultles. His notes were sold, publicly, tor
small sums compared with their apparent va
Tue. Among The purchasers Of these notes was
Edward Thomson-the same who has recently,
so little to his own credit, filled 50 large space
in the public eve. He obtained Judgment Oh
his notes and determined to get his money.
At that period Mr. Morris lived at the spen-
did establishment, now the Country seat of Mr.
Pratt, and took much pains 10 seclude himself
from his creditors and the world. Mr.. Thorn
son, the same who is now in Arch-street prison,
determined to arrest Mr. Morris, and having
ascerlained the necessary facts laid his plans
accordingly. 1t was in the spring of the year
Mr. Morris used early in The morning to take
Il walk for his health. A fisherman caught in
Schuylkil river, on the banks of which MIR
Norris lived, very fine shad, he took it TO
Mr. NJ. to sell it While this unfortunate pa
triot was examining the fish, Mr.. Edward
Thomson, the same have before mentioned,
and two Sherif's officers seized the poor gen
tleman and lodged him in prison. 1 do not
know for certain whether he died there or not
For the truth of every particular of this story
do not vo"ch, but l do assure the public |
have given it to them as have heard it, save
only that have omitted many Of the common
taries and observations which were made, and
have confined myself to the mere narrative a
crowd OF reflections press upon my mind, but
iorbear to put them TO paper, and leave every
reader 10 make his own comments Mysteri-
Gus but righteous and jus, the dealings Of
Him " no rules over all.

Harlotlike shorn of glory, and thy pail
Heroic shortened, and on down thy fair
And no bic strength laid wanton, or with rare
And languid step abroad,-unhl the call
OF God, thine elder self, thy glory, all
Thy many mighty memories, deafand dead
To dance, to feast, to couch, carousal, ball,
Constant and headlong, with thy sons, instead
Of warriors, wassailers at thy heel, thy pride
Thou! who the world and ages has dehed-
With none to boast, none-none to thee allied,
But those who were and not, those who died
The shadows of thy Capitolby thy SIDE,
None other-thou who hast the world dehed
Shame! contumely, foulest, longest, last!
Tear thy bad garments of disgrace away,
AWAY with them from every limb, and cast
Flower, chaplet, off in wrath; in open day
Come forth,-rephnt the helm, for aye and aye,
Upon thy warrior locks; and it thou hast
Still of the Roman, grid upon they heart
rand iron--from thy daysleep start;
Start up thine own defender, do the part
God and thy sires have carved for thee, and dart
An eagle to thine Alps! thy glorious part
Relearn FIRST war-hen fame the second glorious part
God gave thee walls-the walls of Alp and sea;
If man shall burst them, i'll that Goths shall tread
Where Hannibas have paused-f vain decree
OfHeayen and hand OF mortal-ifa shred
Be all We have of empire and that flee
From even the brave and freeman stand, but dread,
Still shalt thou be victorious, over fate,
O'er kings, DER conquerors, at home, though late,
Here headlong shall they rush and meet their mate
A vengeance that is certain, though it wait
Their grave!-even here in Italy!-elste,
Dig here their universal grave. state

From the Laughing Pli!ssopsei
Guess gentle ladies', if you can,
thing that's wond'rous common,
What almost every well bred man
Presents to every woman.
A thing with which you've often plsy't
Betwixt your thumb and finger,
Though if too frequent use be made
'Twll spoil you for singer.
Ii weak danes and old abuse,
And often spois the stronger:
In short, tits what rhetoric lovers use,
When they can talk no longer.
1t IS pill or potion now,
lust as you are pleased to make it,
Raises their spirits when they're low,
And tickles when you take it.
THE ANSWER BIT THE lAplEs.
To guess your riddle gentle sir,
Four danes in council sat;
So various their opinions were,
That great was the debae.
One sad twas mtsic plsy'd with skin,
That csus'd all this emouon;
second said it was pill,
third II was potion
The fourth was quite amazed to here
The ladies' talk such stuff,
Told them the case was very clear,
And took a pinch u snuff

Col. ISAAC HAYNES.

After the city of Charleston had
fallen into the hands of Lord Corn
wallis, his lordship issued proclama.
ton, requiring of the inhabitants OF the
Colony, that they should no longer
take part in the contest, but continue
peaceably at their homes, and they
should be most sacredly protected in
property and person This was ac.
companled with an instrumen, of neu.
traIity, which soon obtained the sig
natures of many thousands of the citi.
Zens of South Carolina, among whom
was Col Haynes, who now conceiv.
ed that he was entitled to peace and Sc
curity for his family and fortune. Blu,
it was not long before CORVALLIS put
new construction on The instrument,
denomlnatng il bond of allegiance
to the king, and called upon all who
had signed It to take up arms against
the Rebels threatening to treat as de-
serter-, those who refused! This frau
dulent proceeding lis Lord CORVALLIS
reused the indignation Of every honor
able and honest man Col. Haynes
now being compelled. in violation of
the most solemn compact, to take up
arms, resolved that the invaders OF his
native country should be the objects OF
his vengeance He withdrew from
the British, and was invested with
command IN the continental, service
but it was soon his hard fate 10 be cap
tured by the enemy, and carried into
Charleston. He was ordered to he
loaded with irons; and, after sort of
mock trial, he was sentenced to be
hung! This sentence seized all classes
OF people with torror and dismav! A
petition, headed by the British Gov
Bull, and signed by number of Roy
ailsts, was presented in his behalf, hut
was totally disregarded. The ladies
of Charleston, both wings and tories.
now united ina petition to Lord Raw
don, couched in the most eloquent and
moving Language, prayingthat the valu
able life of Col. Haynes might be spa
red; hut this also was treated with
neglect. 1t was proposed that Col
Haynes children, (the mother had re-
Gently expired with tie small pox}
should, in their mourning habiliments,
be presented to plead for the life OF
their only surviving parent Being
introduced into his presence, they fell
upon their knees, and with clasped
hands and weeping eyes, they Iisped
their fathers name, and plead most
earnestly for his life. The unfeeling
man was still inexorabte. HIS son, a
youth of thirteen, was permit ed to stay
with his father in prison. The next
morning. Col. Haynes was conducted
TO the place of execution. His son &C.
cOmpanied him.
On seeing his father in the hands OF
the executioner, and then struggling
IN the halter, he stood like one trans
fixed and motionless with horror. Till
then, he wept necessarily; but as he
saw that sight, the fountain of his tears
was staunched, and he never wept
mole. He died insane, and in his last
moments often called on the name of
his father in terms that brought tears
arom the hardest heart
