you give me something else for these crack REMOVAL. EVANS' HITCHCOCK-' At last he fell and by his side, At Erie, fell his trusty blade He grasp'd it firmer as he died, And in the tomb 'twas with him laid. Tread light, ye strangers, on the earth That rests upon the hero's grave His country claim'd him at his birth His life he for his country gave. Youth of Columbia 1 bear in mind How Sfiencer fought how Spencer bled And when your country claims your aid-Like him, fly to the tented field. I Poetical Department ORIGINAL A MORAL LESSON IH BBTKE.

He that is slow to anger is letter an the mighty and he that ruleth spirit, than he that tetketh a city. The man who rules, with absolute control The angry passions, which deform the soul, A more important victory can boast Than he whose might has overcome a host. The soul is sicken'd and the heart is pain'd To trace the course of anger unrestrain'd, Blasting the pleasures of domestic life With bitter brawls, and scenes of savage strife. The wretched wight, who yield's to anger's power, Has no security a single hour, His life may not be forfeited for guilt Of guiltless blood, In furious transport spilt. Behold how bright the warrior's wreath appears, Planted in carnage, fertiliz'd with tears And trace his trophies of heroic ire Through seas of blood, and pyramids of fire! Behold the conqueror, who won the world, TBy ruthless rage from glory's zenith hurl'd, Tost like a feather on the mountain wave, Lord of the globe, but, passion's paltry slave! Then he who rules with absolute control The angry passions, which deform the soul, A more important victory can boast Than if his might had overcome a host.

HALL 8c GREEN, Bellows Falls, June 1 2, 1 8 1 7. 2s Miscellaneous In a burlesque descriptive of the per formance of a celebrated actress on the iua inburgh theatre, when it was fashionable to extol, with the utmost exaggeration of praise, the tumid style is finely ridiculed, and the most austere of our readers will smooth their brows at the following Port. Folio. Yesterday Mrs about whom all the world has been talking, exposed her bene fit adamantine, soft and lovely person, for the first time, in the theatre royal, in the be witching, melting, and all tearful character of Isabella. The house was crowded with hundreds more than it could hold with thou sands of admiring spectators that went away without a single sight.

1 his extraordina ry phenomenon of tragic excellence, this star of Melpomene this comet of the stage, this sun in the nrmament 01 the muses, this moon of the blank verses, this queen and princess of tears, this despotjof poisoned bowls, this empress Rusty Fusty of the pistol and dagger, this chaos of Shakespear, this world of weeping clouds this Juno of commanding aspect, this Terpsichore of the curtain and scenes, this Proserpine of tire and earthquake, this Kitterfelto of wonders exceeded expectation, went beyond belief soared above all description, She was na ture she was the most exquisite work of art she was the very dairy and primrose, tuberose, wall flower, and cauliflower too. sweet briar, furze blossom, gilly flower, and rosemary. In short she was theory bO' nuet of Parnassus. Several fainted before the curtain dre up the very fiddlers in the orchestera blubbered like hungry chil dren for their bread and butter one hundred and nine ladies fainted forty six went into fits and thirty live had strong hysterics. The world will hardly credit the assertion, that 14 children, hve old women, a one nan ded sailor, and six common council men were actually drowned in the inundation of tears that flowed from the galleries and boxes to increase the briny flood in the pit, The water was three feet deep, and the peo ple, that were obliged to stand upon the benches were in that situation, up to their ancles in tears.

Nature, surely, in one of her smiling days, in one of her weeping months, and in one ot her all sorrowing years made this human lump of clay per- lection. RAISING THE WHISKEY. In 1 8 1 2, when our government sent sea men trom the Atlantic to the lakes, (subse quently to the scenes of American superior naval prowess) the first detachment of jolly tars were landed at Albany, and conveyed ii om thence to the Niagara frontier in wag gons Many of those men, endowed with more bravery than worldly prudence, were destitute of cash, so that a resort to ingenity became indispensible, whenever they wanted to raise an additional glass of grog. The no velty of their appearance, combined with their peculiar -oddities and nautical phras es, rendered it no difficult matter, during the first few days of their inland voyage, to levy contributions of whiskey on the inn keepers they would quaff the juice of rye bid the landlord to keep a good look out astern for the commissaiy tell him how much liquor they had drank and he would pay for all, After a lapse of five or six days this tra verse would not work a report of it had iraveiiea in advance, landlords, had adopted a rule of touch penny before you touch pot, One more than ordinary whim sauntered into a tavern, resolved to try new expedient he observed the landlord rigidly requiring the deposit of the money belorc he would deliver the liquor not appalled by this precautionary measure, al though he was perfectly sttverlett," Jack carelessly walked to the bar, when the following dialogue ensued. Jack.

Landlord have you got any crackers. Landlord. Yes, sir. Jack. Well let us have sixpence worth.

The landlord's caution was lulled into security by the sailor's not asking for liquor and he delivered the crackers without first requiring the money. (Jack looking at and turning the crackers in his hand) Now that I have got 'em I dont think I can cat cm. Landlord, won't Alexander the Great, in a fit of anger slew his foster brother Clitus, for which flagitious act he was ttruck with such remorse, that he attempted to starve himselj. From the Boston Palladium. OH TELL ME NOT THAT WINE WILL SOOTHE.

tell me not that wine will soothe The heart depress'd with woe; tell me not that wine will smooth Grim Penury's haggard brow For though its wave may be as bright As evening's brilliant tear, It cannot gild misfortune's night Or calm the sinner's fear. tell me not that beauty's smile, (That sun of cloudless morn,) Can b'ack despair or wo beguile, Or blunt afflictions thorn; For tho awhile its beams may play Where health and pleasure bloom, Disease will shroud its pleasing ray-It shines not in the tomb, tell me not that fame can give The canker'd conscience peace tell me not that fame will live When hope and life shall cease 5 For tho' it points where honor bleeds, And bids the bosom bum, -Yet as the lightning swift, recedes, When time has grasped his urn. But tell me that Religion's ray 1 Can light the soul to heav'n. tell me this can point the way To him on quicksands driven, And I'll believe for well I know That this alone can save, That this can chace the clouds of woe, And gild the peasant's grave. ALBERT.

iSacred to the memory of Captain Ambrose Spencer(Aid-de-Campto General Brown) who fell at the battle of Erie. BY ALEXANDER COFFIN, Jus. Beneath this stone a hero sleeps, Far from the dreadful din of arms, And o'er the tomb a willow weeps', -And guards it from the wintry storms. Twas in the bloom of martial pride He buckled on the shining steel, Which hung most graceful at his side-Emblem of freedom's last r.ppeal. At length his country gave command, His shining steel sprang from its sheath He grasp'd it with his dexter bandit wav'd triumphant till his death..
