Would, his blanket wrapping round him,
Let the heartless sexton ground him,
With no mortal carins2

Pounded BY Affections pestle,

Grew thereby about me.

Such three-fold cord be brokenl
No, the loved ones by that token
Cannot do without me.

Washington and Vernon.

When the admiral was attacking Port Bello,
with his six ships only, as is described on the
medal struck OH the occasion, he observed a
fine young man in appearance, who, with the
most intrepid courage, attended with the most
perfect calmness, was always in that part of the
ship which was most engaged. After the firing
had ceased, he sent his captain to request he
would attend upon him, which he Immediately
obeyed; and the admiral entering into CONVEX
sation, discovered by his answers and observa.
tons that he possessed more abilities than usu-
ally fall to the lot Of mankind in general. Upon
asking his name, the young man told him it was
George Washington and the admiral, on bis
return home, strongly recommended him to the
attention of the admiralty. This great man
when he built his house in America, out of graf
itude to his first benefactor, named it amount
Vernon, and at this moment it is so called.

careiulness and solemnity. He was then put in
the Deacon's seat, between two Deacons, in
view OF the whole congregation; but the sexton
was ordered by Mr.. Prescott to take him out,
because of his levity and strange contortion Of
countenance, (giving grave scandal to the grave
Deacons,) and put him in the lobby under the
stairs; some children and mulatto Woman
were reprlmanded for laughing at Pomp Shorter.
When the services at the house were ended,
the council and other dignitaries were enter
tanned at the house of Mr.. Epes, on the hill near
by, and we had bountful table, with bears
meat and Vension, the last of which was fine
buck, shot in the woods near by. The Bear
was killed in Lynn Woods, near Reading. AT
ter the blessing was craved by Mr. Garish, of
Wrentham, word came that the buck was shot
on the Lords day, by Pequot, an Indian, who
came to Mr.. Epes with I've in his mouth, like
Ananias Of old; The council thereupon refused
to eat the Vension, but It was afterwards agreed
that Peqnot should receive forty stripes, save
one, for lying, and profaning the Lords day, re-
store Mr. Epes the cost of the deer; and consid-
erng this just and righteous sentence on the
sinful heather; and that as blessing had been
craved on the Meat, the council all partook of it,
but Mr.. Shepard, whose conscience was tender
on the point of Vension."
The refusal of the Council to eat the vension,
and the subsequent reconcement of conscience
with appetite, by the infection of forty stripes,
save one" upon Pequot, are capital and charac-
teristic strokes.-BOstOn Transcript
