THE RACE QF LITERATURE, FOR 1824, concluded : Next Scott, ct man of mighty lame That now coiiceals, now oWns a namd; Proudly with Marmion flies; But ere he weathered Hallidan-hill., His jaded coiirscr standing still, Heeds nor spur nor cries. Ride on, ride on, my bonny Scott, Another steed is on the spol Gusiavus of the north; There’s Dupip/e, too, from Charlios-hdpo, And RosabeUe like antelope. Fresh from the Frith of Forth. And in tho Fly from Portan-ferry, Come Dandy, and the Antiquary, With Edicto the Fore, And Rob Roy i'eom the heather .steals. With cousin Bvilit at liis heels. And ladies by the score. Minna and Brenda with tboe shine And Mary, queen of hearis, is thine, Wliilst Di and Flora ride, \\ 'hrrilies, lonyplie And Jeajiie Deans beside. At Scott’s right liand our Edgeworth see, Riding with the Absentee, With wit and genius fraught; Belinda goes with Patronage, And Ennui, too, lias thrown the gago By Early Lessons taught. Now hither, thither, ruslies bard. And prose runs mad and rides as hard. Nor can the umpires tell; If in the rivalship they sec. That forward to the goal they flee, Or scamper oli’pell-mell. Byron and Southey, where’s the wonder. Quarrelling on tlie road like thunder, Have lost sight of the haven; And Godwin, Moore and Paulding, fall O’er clumsy Hogg, vriiilo one and all, Cry, “ Wordsworth, we ore seven.” And Maturin crazed wiUi Melmoth writing,* With the old wandering Jew is fighting, And c&rcs not for tho chase ; Wliilst Galt qnd Cooper, horse by horse, Stretching far and wide their course ; Next year may win tho race. Hillhouse and Walth arc riding fast, Tho first a the last, Who always well, That be Ins wonj^^Rcnsed or sparse,' Whether of grave^iport or farce. You're charmed as witli a spell. Campbell and Irving trot along, Now take a Sketch, now dag a song Of Ulluids lovely daughter; Whilst Scott and EdgeworUi onw’ardstif, She witli rein and ho With spur, • Svrift o’er land and water. Nov/ look we back upon the crowd, ^VJlo drove with spur and whip so loud, So confident to win. * ’Tis past the wit of man to say, W’hy some have thrown tliemselvc.s away, And why some ventured in. With trembling haste some hurrying on Have halted—and noW ba-k have gone, Heediiignor blame nor praise; Nor can reviewers by the dozen, TJicsc loiterers to Parnassus cozen, W here tliey might cam tlioir bays. But who are they, who fleet as wind. Have IcR the many far behind As if on wring of feather; ’Tis Edgeworth, Hillhouse, Irving, Scott, Campbell, and Walsh—they reach Uie spot,' Huzza, they’re in together. Stop Peter, do not shut the gate, Theciiurl, hd will no longer wait. So, in a fo^ cnsconst, The humble author of this verse—cipcrl, Hanging on to Dandies* skirt, , “ Slipped through the gates unknown’s!; Immortal honours grace their brow, And to admiring nations now Is gone the just decree; Whilsit wc, and after ages too. Amidst new lights that rise to view, These constellations see. And Scott is called the morning star, Tho rest cthcrial spirits are. And Jive in endless d a y ; Whilst dearest Edgeworth snines at eVen. Showing her steady light in heaven, To guide us on our way. W h ^ ton . ANECDO'rE OP J ohn P aul J ones . — Origin of the name of the ship “ Le Bon Homme Richard.*’^ ‘‘li is a fact not generally known, that the late John Paul Jones, [the distinguished American naval officer of the Am'erican Revolution.] at the time thsEt he was attempting to fit out a small squadron, during tho [Revolutionary} war, in one of the ports o f France, to craise on the coast of England, was much delayed by negleols and disappointments from Court, that had nearly frustrated his plaira.- Chance one day threw into his hands an old almanac, containing ‘ Poor Richard’s Maxims,’ by Dr. Franklin, fn that curious assemblage of useful instruction, a man is advised ‘‘if he wishes to have any business faithfully and expeditiously performed, to go on it himself; otherwise to send.’ Jones iVhs im mediately struck, updnreadingthis maxim, with the impropriety of his past conduct, in only sending letters and messages to Court, whefi he ought to have gone in person. Ho instantly set out, and, by dint of personal representations, procured the immediate equipment o f thesquad- ron whicli afterwards spreiid terror sdong the eastern coast o f England, and with which he gloriously captured the Setapis ahd Countess of Scarborough,*Btithh ships of \far, returning from the Baltic. In gratitude to Dr, Franklin’s ; maxim he named the principal ship o f his squad ron after name of the pretended almanac- maker, “ %e Bon Homme^ Richard.”—Life and Character of JShk Paul Jones. A Venerable Preacher of Bunker EM. —^There is no one incident in the recent ceremonies at Bunker Hill that has struck us more forcibly than the following; related by the Boston Cour ier of Monday last: “ When the venerable Thaxter came forward to offer up his prayer, the multitude was in an instant hushed to the pro:feundest silence. A more interesting object cqn hardly be imaginedi ' than a man at the age df ninety, having outlived his generation—his silver locks flowing down his shoulders—-his face exhibiting the furrows of age, yet glowing with aniaiation and appa rent health—his voice, though a little tremu lous, yet strong, and susceptible of considerable modulation— articulation perfect and dis tinct. Such a man was Joseph Thaxter. He was a chaplain in the regiment of Col. Prescott; and was on Bunker Hill, acting in that capacity, during the battle; not only calling upon the God of battles to protect and save his country men, but also on his countrymen to defend them selves, their altars; and their homes, and assu ring them that those wlio would he free, must strike the blow themselves, and, under Provi dence, work out the conquest'by their own right arms.— A s this reverend patriarch approached the front of the stage and raised his dry and almost flesMess hands in thankfulness and inter cession, he seemed like a connecting link be tween “ corruptible and incorruption”—^his up lifted eye reflecting the light of imihortality, and the undulations of his bosom indicating the fluttering of a spirit that panted to meet the embrace of his Maker.” The climax.^Ai the conclusion o f the Amer ican revolution. Dr. Franklin, the English amJ hgssador, and the French minister Vergennes, dining together at Yersailles, a toast from each tvas called for and agreed to. The British min ister began with “ George, the Third—who like the sun in hi:^ meridian, spreads a lustre through out* and enlightens the world.” The French minister followed with “ The illustrious Louis the Sixteenth—who like the moon, sheds his mild and benignant ikys oh and influences the globe.” Our American Franklin then gave “ George W ashin^on commander of the Amer ican army —^3vho like Joshua of old, commanded the sun and moon to stand still, and they obeyed him.” ------ We were not a little amused, a few days since, in witnessing the arrival at one o f the wharves in Detroit, of apbriogue, from the up per country. H was 40 feet in length; 4 feet across, and no more than an inch and a half ia thickness, having been burned out of solid whitewood. It contained 30 bbls. fish, suppo- posed to weigh 230 lbs. each; and the comman der appeared confident that she would safely carry 50 harfels. An arrival o f this nature, it is presumed, would be no more an object of curiosity toj the commercial men of our terri tory, than the sight of an oyster-boat to a Long- Islander ; but it was in reality a novelty to us— and may tend to convey to our friends at the east an idea of the s iie of timber in the forests of Michigan.— Michigan Sentihd. Arnold. — ^By the death o f General Phillips, who commanded the British in Virginia,.the trai tor Arnold was left in command there for some time.—(jenerai Lafayette commanded the Ame- ricatis forces opposed to him. It became neces sary for Arnold to write to Lafayette on some subject connected with their operations, and ii flag and several soldiers w'as sent with his let ter. On learning that the letter was from Ar nold, Lafityette refused to open it saying to the soldiers who brought it that he was willing to correspond with any honorable jnaxi of the whole British army/ from a G6n^ral to a private sol dier, but with Arnold, who was a traitor and a dishonorable man, ho could have nothing to do. This information carried back; created much conversation among the British troops, to fh^ disadvantage of Arnold, their Commander.— The common soldier remarked that he must he a bad man, when the American General would ■prefer Corresponding with one ot them, even a. private soldier to him who was a General o f aif army.— Mat. Gaz. S^ATE LAWS. An act Relative to the duties and powers of supervisors, ahd for otheV purposes. . .Passed April 20 1825.
