Til the voice of Spring!—ahe hath burst her chain— 3he is out wiih her garlands, find song again !— Her joyous birds, of the suuny wing, Fill the gladsome heaven with carolling— How they pour from each tender and budding tree, The enchanting hymns of their melody. Til the scene of Spring—for the upland-side 2= dect'd out in it* loveliness, far and wide ! The violet hath hurst thro' the MM| earth ; With its leaf of blu. is it springing forth— It has sent its breath on the M Vtfeg gale,— And its incense fiies where tlie winds prevail ! Tis tlie hype of Spring—for the meadow-scene Math put on iis array of beautiful greeu— !lo\v its blossoms are fair by ibe streamlet'.-side— How their purest incense i> floating wide— They are mir^d by the sinile of the festal sun— V.y the pearly dews, when the day is done ! 'Tis tfct ia'.tghler of Spring—for her mirth it ont ! How her wild-birds sing, ho.v her streamlets shout! fl there uught more sweet, than the song of si renins, When Youth glides by, with its thousand dreams ? And the Spring-time is youth !—'tis the season's birth— 'lis the laughter of flowers on th? dewy earth ! 'lis the dreams of Spring *—Ah ! how giad and bright! They are gleams of joy in its clime of light ! ' lis tkt gay earth 5 scene '—'tis a vision fair— Ah ! how long wi;l there pittii»l afbemmy wear? Will they flee like the smiles of an April i'by— As 'Line orient dew*, thou sunny May ! 'JU the gladness of Spring !—in its beauty lies, Ml ii,* yoan» i«WH brightest exturies ! flow the S\ul expands as we !o>>k upon thee While the tremulous green !j oil every tree— While the stream murmurs sweetly, with flowers beset, Like Jiirr, tingsd with blessing and plenfJre yet! How the tender hue of the forest watrH ! How the blight hiice-bdlow the violet tares, How the flowers it kisses, still brighter seeflt, t 5 the evrs of beaoty thro' iear*dfopi gleam— Thus Are joys in thee Sjiriag !—;!ius the bear! 1; blest, VThea the gladness of hope ii within the l-iea^t! JIow the fleery clouds of thine azure skjr, In their tranquil and gorgeous -pI'iid-T !ie, Like son.. 1 innocent w-turecn beareu hung Some robe-, which an Angel tbereoa !^i-! flung— 'lis lb soft white ctoads, thou ei:oliniiiing Spring— Aiid !;r . lock upon nature in blottoofaig ! Dili the soft winds of Surnrner, where green fields lie, Will steal ever their garnished revelrv ! And the mower's band oVr the Meadow will stray, As its beautiful blossoms are fading away— And the scythe will DOM o'er tin* strawbern-leaf, Thus epae literal Youth, gives place to grief! l'hou art Senuiifal Spring '—what is like to thee .'

Who will be •lame, V. G. FROM THi. SAKE. Ob let me die in my primal day, Wh'le my morning sun with brightnessshinee, Ere the cold world chase my joys away, Ere the blushing flower of life declines. Oh let me die while life is young While feeling lives and the passions play— Whils the bounding heart to love is strung And affection wairns iu fancy's ray. Oh let me die while joy is bright Ere the blissful hours of youth are flown ; While the soul is pure and the heart is light, And tin and griei are all unknown. Oh let me die before the woe The loneliness of age shall come ; While youth and hope still brightly glow, Then softly make my early tomb. Meibinks that I could calmly rest, If spring flowers bloomed above my head— Methinks if grief ne'er sered my breast, 'Twere sweet to sleep in my grassy bed. And there will come they say a chill, A deud'riitig chill upon the heart, When its early throbs ot joy are still, And the light of >outh and hope depart. Then let me die in my primal day, While my morning sun with brightness shines, Ere the cold world chase my joys away, Ere the blushing flower of life dec lines. HlMJA. 'Tis being, zndduing, and hairing, that make All the pleasure aud pain of which r.101 tals partake ; To be what God pleases, to do a man's best, To li'ice a good hettrt, is the way to he blest. -SgJlf—LJ* \. '. —g From the Gazette ar.d Athavcxuvi. THOMAS JEFFERSON. Is this then a nation's 1 turn For service so lovi'! auJ true, For anxiety stiff 1 in^; and toil, Is this a!! the guerdon that's due? Does the tngrr.te Republic forget the dark day When his name was her watch-word, his spirit her stay ? When the sough of oppression came oft He shrunk not, nor, cower'd to the blast ; And when the wild storm swept the land, Undaunted stood firm to the last * Nobly pledg'd fame, and fortune, his life,and his all, In the cause of his country to stand or to fall. The blessings he toil'd for are ours, The dark hour-of adversity's o'er, Peace gladden's our wide spread domain*, And prosperity girdles our shore : The sails of our ooairoerce are white in the breeze Ami the itrip'd flag isquiv'ring o'er earth's far- thest teas. And now can we eo'dly consign That heart to despondence a prey, Which so firmly espoused our just cnuge, In the-gloom of that perilous day ' SHE BA7P1T FAX3.. A FKAOMCVr. It was a neat little house, by the side of the fields, a pretty looking woman dressed by simplicity, nature's hand- maid, was laying the table cloth, and trimming up her jwwfor, her looks were cheerful and serene, and with a pleasing voice, though wild and uutu- torcd, she swig the following stanzas: Here beneath my humble cot, Tranquil peace ami pleashre dwell ; If contented with our lot, SinUiag j<'V can grace actlh Natures wTUitt are all supplied; Food and taiinen*, house and tire, Lei ol ben >weil their courts with pride; Tins ; s all that I require. Jmst as she had finished, a genteel uoun^ man entered the gate, she ran eager/;/ to nuct him. \ My dear liillium\ cried she, \ you are la'e to night.\ '• I am weary Anna\ said he, lean tag liis head upon her shoulder 4< I am sorry for it, my love, but come cat your supper, and then repose on my bosom, aud hush all your cares to rest. u If to be contented is to be happy, my dcar,'\soid she, \ !<nw stiperluiive- ft/ so am I I have no wish beyond what our little income trill a ford me, iny home is to me a palace, thy hme my es tote. I envy not tlie licit dames who shine in costly array. J please my William in my plain simple attite : — I wi-h to }>iease. no other/' u Thou dear reward of ail my toils\ cried William, embracing her, •'• how ran I have a wish ungralijicl while possessed of thee. I never de- sired wealth but for thy sake, and thy cheerful contented disposition makes even wealth unnecessary.\ It is b// no means necessary to hap- pinet, said I. as I lift the house. — William and Anna seem perfectly happy, content with only a bare compe- tence. I ask but a competence, cries the luxurious err avaricious wretch ; this very exclamation convinces us that n trifle is adequate to the wants of the humble frugal mind, while thousands cannot supply the immedi- ate desires of the prodigal, or satisfy j the grasping disposition of the miser. DEATH OF THE DRUXKARD. The drunkard, then, must also die ! yes, poor man, your career of madness will come to an end ; your last cup will be emptied ; your last frolic will be over ; your last oath will be. pro- nounced. Soon ! the hour has alrea- dy come, and you are surrounded by the. furniture of the grave. O ! hor- rid hour of wo, which you have always feared and tried to forget ! it has come ; and before to-morrow''s sun shall rise, your spirit must be before its Judge! Your shroud is nearly ready, and soon yoilr death-bell trill be tolling. And who will be your mourners ? Your wife, your bosom friend, will she bend over your cold remains and ice.t your clay with tears.' No ! her tears have all been shed be- fore. She in vain entreated you to re- form. In anguish of soul did she of- ten pray for you. But you treated her with contempt ; you have been her ruin. Had she never seen you, she might now have been blessed and happy. By you she has been aban- doned, abused and disgraced. She is soon to be relieved ; and do you think she will weep when you are dead! your mourners ? Your children can- not feel that their father is dead. — You have never told them you was their friend. You have said you ha- ted them. Y^ou have snatched the bread from their mouths. You have torn the clothes from their shivering limbs, and they are now left to beg or starve. They owe their existence to you, and that existence you have ren- dered miserable. Who then will be your mourners 1 Your neighbors, as they in kindness bear away your body, and shall place it in its lust abode, will they even feel a pang of sorrow that you are dead 1 All will be si- lent : not a sigh ; not a tear ! Alas, poor man, when that last sad office shall be performed ; when your grave shall be filled up, and the last green turf fixed in its place, a thrill of hor- ror will be felt in the breast of the good, as they shall turn away from the lonely spot where they have laid you. Yc friends of virtue and of man ; ye too, who believe there is no HERE- AFTER, draw neur while I rtmove the curtain and show you this dying man. Once he was the child of tender and pious parents, the burthen of their cares, the comfort of their passing days, and the object of a thousand hopes. Once he mingled in the polite circle ; was respected as a citizen and friend. You saw when first he began to linger about the tavern and neglect his business and family. You saic it, but you told him toga on! You saw to what it would lead: but not a word did you whisper in his ear, nor an ef- fort did you make to save him from ruin. Now it is loo late ; the work of ruin is accomplished, and \ at your hands shall his blood be required /\ —Free Press. Catlorinrj. I NOTICE T HE subscribers have the pleasure!
