WEEP. .NOTFOR THE YOUTHFULDE
Weep not for tho youthful dead,
Resting in their peaceful bed
They arc happier than we,
Howsoever blost we be.
They have left doubtful scene,
While their hearts were young and green,
Ere tho stain Of guilt was deep -
Wherefore, wherefore do ye weep
Tey have never known the stings,
Which discovered friendship bringsj
Envy, Hatred, Passion, Pride,
All lie buried at their side,
Far across the shipwreck foam,
They have found peaceful home,
Where the blessed spirits keep
Wherefore, wherefore should ys weep
II is, ye say, hoavy pain,
Preying on the heart in vain,
Thus to sec tho groen bud frozc,
When just opening to rose.
Yet shall Consolation come,
STOPPING from her starry home,
Bringing dew upon her wings,
From tho deep, eternal springs.

dssentions between Hamilton and Jefferson, he
endeavored to soothe and quell for he was
sincere friend to them both. He gave every
facility TO Randolph that he could possibly
claim or desire, for making full and fair vindI-
cation and all times Of trial and excitement {,
he maintained dignity, firmness and comPo-
sure, which, at the same time they proved the
integrity Of his heart, ca med the troubled ele-
ments OF party, and reared the pillars oil Gov
ernment on a solid and durable foundation.
In addition 10 the volumes Of letters just
mentioned, as pertaining to the period of the
Presidency, there are fourteen other vol
umes, in which are recorded the transactions
OF the President with Congress and the Heads
OF the Departments, and which consist OF let
tcrs that passed between him and the Secre-
taries, on special subjects also, opinions, re-
ports, and intelligence, from the Secretaries.
Among other records, is a private journal kept
by The President. IN which his official acts aud
intercourse with The Departments, are daily no.
ted down.
After Washington again retired from the
scenes Of public station, his letters were still
numerous and important to the end of his life,
especially those written to President Adams,
Pickering, Hamilton, Pinckney, Knox, and
McHenry, on the concerns Of the provisional
army. Nor were his old correspondents forgot
ten or neglected At this period, also, he
wrote on agricultural subjects, and gave minute
instructions in writing to his managers for the
cultivation Of his farms.
have only to add, that, besides the papers
hitherto mentio ned, there are three volumes Of
addresses received by him at different times from
States, Cities, Towns, Religious Societies, COL
leges, cademies, Masonic Lodges, Benevolent
Institutions, Civil, Political, and Military Asso-
Citations, and other corporate bodies without
number. Some of these were sent from Eu-
rope. They are all methodically recorded, to-
gelher with the answers to them, and the origi-
nals are for the most part preserved.
Having thus presented YOU with brief sketch
of General Washing:on's papers, as they are
now found at Mount Vernon, l shall defer TO
another letter an exposition of the method, by
which propose to arrange and prepare them
for the press.

it can be purchased at cheap rate, and invite

lent. Those who shave enough. of this worlds

their spare means into channel, which will
convey them to the aid of the wretched and
abjcct of our own country. An Institution, so

The principal females are Mrs. Barnes, Mrs.

jacob Perkins, The London Journal Of Arts
and Sciences for April 1927, furnishes an inter-
osting article on Mr.. Perkins improved steam
engine. 1t appears from The Journal referred to,
that Mr.. r. has surmountcd the many practical
difficulties with Which he had to contend, in the
construction of his engine, and that on tic first
of April, it had been several days in succc ,sful
operation. The engineers who had otcntivc!y
witnessed tho performance, were unable to de-
tect any fallacy in the application of principles
or in the operation Of the engine. We may now
safely conclude, as conjecture and speculation
must always give way TO experiment, that the
long controversy respecting The actual po'cer,
perfect SAFETY, and greet economy of this
engine, is soon 10 be settled forever

COOKING CABBAGE.

We cannot here pass over the advice of
bruyerinus. respecting the preparing of cab
bage for the table.
81 must" says he. "expose an error
which is no less common than pernicious, in
preparing cabbage. Most people, in conse-
quence of the ignorance of their cooks, eat
it after it has been long boiled, a circum-
stance which does not little diminish both
its grateful taste and salutary qualities But
those who have more polite and elegant
turn. order their cabbage to be slightly boil
ed, put into dishes and seasoned with salt
and oil; by which method they assume a
beautiful green color, become grateful to
the taste, and proper for keeping the bo-
dy soluble. This circumstance ought not to
be forgotten by those who are lovers of cab
bage.

nitre, which rendered it at once more CRATE.

DO you state there is no suit against YOU but
you will find that you must get better security
than yourself. You forget the night that the

December last, when you intrudcd yourself in

heard Mr.. keenan, say he wished | would
come to Lancaster and live; and you also know
that Mr.. Keenan, is parish priest in Lancaster
and that he told you never lived in Lancaster
so see that telling lies is as necessary for your
support as meat and drink You forget when
you committed your falsehoods and defamations
to be published, that your attack on me must
be founded on envy and talsehood; as the public
