preserve the building containing the cells. and
keep The prisoners wi,hin them. The shops,
and machinery were all burned.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
BIRTH DAY OF WASHINGTON.
IN ODE.

Long in the East had Freedom slept
troubled sleep on Slavery's bed,
And millions in their bondage wcpt,
Or vainly struggling. yanly blcd!
The tyrant hoped that from her sleep,
She'd wake not,-that her race was run:
Vain hopc--shc wokc--sped DER the deep,
And gave to the world w AsHINoroN.
In battle brave, in council wise,
lie ever led in dangers van;
His light descended from the skies
The Christians spirit blessed the man;
In vain You seek from page to page
In vain through History swiftly run,
From cline to clime-from age to age
To find another WAsHINGroN
And when the mother to her child
Would lessons teach Of patriot lore,
And tell him of the contests wild,
And how his fathers fought Of yorc;
As DER the iumined page she bends,
To seek proud to show her son,
And finds which brightest radiance lends,
She'll point the boy to WAsmNaToN!
Our land is grcat-oar land is free,
And blessings freely sent are ours
And stretching forth from sea TO sea,
She spreads her sway and sends her powers,
Her fame is farther hopes are bright
And may Colun,bia's every son
BE guided by the beacon light,
That bcamcd to guide our WAsmrNeroN.
