Written late in the Winter of 1802. THE tow'ring oak yields to the wintry blast, The mountain's pride lies scatter'd o'er the plain; By northern winds is Nature's face o'ercast, Ön either hand does desolation reign. Depress'd by grief, the anguish-breaking heart Surveys, with stoic-glance, the prospect dire, And while of human woes she bears her part, Meets, unappal'd, the giant tempest's ire.

For Death hath rioted with savage joy,

And dimm'd the prospect of life'. op'ning day, With cruel rage has strove but to des roy,

And hope hath sunk beneath his potent sway.

His tyrant hand hath crush'd meek inrocence, And blameless truth, and virtue in its prime, And modest worth, and matchless exqeilence,The fairest picture on the roll of time!

Low in the earth the youthf I victim sleeps,

The dust enwraps the gen'rous and the good! Fond Recollection at his mem'ry weeps, For high among his peers the suffrer stood.

Reviving Nature, clad in Spring's attire,
The joyous song of gratitude shall raise;
And while surrounding scenes new joys inspire,
Swell the loud anthem to the Author's praise.

Yet, sick'ning thought! O, agonizing truth!
No solace sweet shall weeping friendship know,
Nought can restore the wither'd rose of youth,
Or call from death the subject of its woe!

And must frail man endure renew'd distress?
And must he ever wake in mis'ry's chain?
No solitary hope his anguish bless ?

Forever subject to War's asperous reign?

No!-Heaven is just !-Man shall new life assume, Shall rise to bliss eternal and secure, Transcendant Truth his wayward path illume, Wisdom Divine lost happiness restore.

"All born on earth must die !"-O bless'd decree !
Friendship shall bloom in never-ending day,
From pain, from grief, from sickness, sorrow free,-
Ages shall roll, and joys know no decay.

VERITAS.

THE MISTAKE.

A CROP, Democratique, all closely shorn,
Went to a barber's shop one Sunday morn;
Mid ranks of Wigs he took his seat, to learn
Some barber's news, and wait his shaving turn:
Up came old Gauger with his flowing wig,
White as a cauliflower, but twice as big,-
And peeping round, for he was almost blind,
A vacant block-stand for his wig to find,
He chanc'd, sad hap, his periwig to pop
Upon the nut-brown head of knowing Crop.

Up bounc'd the blade, and swore, and flounc'd abour,

"Od, demme-demme, Sir, I'll call ye out."-
Quick as light horseman vaults into the saddle,
Did Gauger's spectacles his nose bestradale,
For much he star'd to see his cld wig walk,
Swear so, and so undutifully talk;
But soon as ever the mistake he spied,
The good old man, quite out of breath replied,
"Your feelings, Sir, I did not mean to shock,
"Indeed, mdeed, I took you for a block."

ON THE INCREASING PREVALENCE OF

DUELLING.

No. III.

[CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST.]

THE FE paflion for duelling, which, in inftances not a few, feems probably to have been first awakened in the minds of boys by the aforementioned Chefterfieldian leffon, that they had learned at school, is afterwards cherished and confirmed by the general courfe of their reading. No books, during the laft twenty years, have been so much in the hands of American youth of both fexes, as novels and romances.* This foup-meagre, in the present state of things, is the principal intellectual food of juvenile minds and their prepoffeffions in favour of duelling is the neceffary confequence. An extravagant loveadventure and a duel are the most common ingredients in these kinds of compofitions. The hero of the novel vindicates his miftrefs's honour; and his own title to the rank of a gentleman, by a prompt and

It appears from a British annual Register, that novel-reading, unless sometimes to amuse a vacant hour, is despised and discarded in England, by the more intelligent part even of the female sex.— Since the appearance of several elegant historians in the English language, novels have happy given place to real history, biography and travels.

dexterous ufe of his fword. He never fails to call out" the man that appears defignedly to affront him; and even tho' the author fhould intersperse in his work a few expreffions of cenfure on the cuf tom of duelling, the delineation of his principal characters, and his general fcope, tend to recommend it.

Among the further incentives to duelling peculiar to this country, I am conftrained to mention with pointed difapprobation the recent practice of publishing, in news-papers, the various particulars of fuch bloody affrays. It is exceedingly to rank, inftead of fetting their faces against be lamented, that men of high officia' duelling, are fometimes feen to encourage and patronize it by their own example: which is rendered much more generally pernicious by the extenfive publicity that is commonly given it. Whenever a duel is fought by men of high rank, it is circumftantially and pompously detailed in the public papers. The whole nation is invited, as it were to behold the magnificent fpectacle, and to yield a tribute of applaufe. The politenefs, the coolness, the unfhaken intrepidity of the parties are depicted in such a manner as tends to fire the minds of thoufands with an ambition to difplay themselves in this field of hon

In my next, I fhall attempt to point out fome remedies to the prevailing and alarming evil, that has been under confid

try, as well in numbers as in wealth and ftrength, is very aftonishing, and has rarely had a parrallel fince men began to multiply upon the earth. The population of the Hebrews in the land of Egypt has been for more than three thousand years, a conftant theme of admiratiou. Within the compass of four centuries, they multiplied from frwerty five fouls to fix hundred thoufand men and if we compute grown the women and children to be in proportion to the men, as five to one, their whole number that left Egypt was three millions and fix hundred thousand.

The increase of population in this country has been fill greater than that of the Hebrews in Egypt. In less than two centuries, and from very fmall beginnings, we have grown to the vast number of be tween five and fix millions. The last ten years have increased our numbers twelve hundred thoufand. According to this ratio, that is, computing four millions (which was nearly the number of the inhabitants of this country, ten years ago,) to produce an increase of twelve hundred thousand, in ten years, the whole number of the inhabitants of the United States, in half a century, (if my hafty computation is correct) will amount to but little fhort of twenty millions: and, at the clofe of the prefent century, it will amount to between seventy and eighty millions.

THE fubje&t of Louisiana continues to be more and more interesting to all claffes of American citizens. Since our laft number, it has been obferved to us that probably nothing at this time would be more gratifying to our readers than a concife hiftory of the discovery and fettlement or that country. We have therefore made a rapid and concife compilation for that purpose, chiefly taken from French writers. In 1512 Juan Ponce de Leon, who had acquired confiderable reputation by the conqueft el Porto Rico, fued out three fhips for a voyage of difcovery. The principle motive which prompted him to this undertaking, is faid to have been the hope of difcovering a certain fountain, reported by the natives of Porto Rico to be fituated in one of the Lucayo-Iflands pof. felfed of the wonderful power of rejuvenefence. He touched at the Lucayos and Bahama Ifles, but after tafting of all the iountains within his reach, he met with none that could renew the vigour of youth. He foon after difcovered Florida, but was prevented by the natives from landing to find the object of his romantic fearch. He

returned to Porto Rico, and there died.

In 1539, Ferdinand de Soto, who had ferved under Pizarro, and had been invested with the government of Cuba, failed from the Havanna with a confiderable force, and landing on the coaft of Florida, traverfed moft of the rivers which fall into the Gulf of Mexico. In 1541, he croffed the Miffiffippi river, and proceeded weft. ward

after various difcoveries he died in 1542, leaving the command to Lewis Mafcofo. This officer attempted to travel by land, fouthweft to Mexico, but meeting many obftacles relinquifhed the enterprize. He came at length to one of the great rivers, discovered by De Soto, and after

No nation has equalled her in the wifdom of her fyftem of colonization. Her min. ifters, aided by the powerful and fagacious fociety of Jefuits, found no difficulty in uniting the moft diftant and favage nations in friendly intercourfe with her tiers,quette ftayed among the Miamis, and Joland the active zeal of the miffionary, ferv. yet returned to Quebec. ed to rivet the chains of fubje&tion which were prepared to bind all the wandering tribes of North America, to the government of France.

Thefe fchemes are not forgotten, and a man is now in the place of the Bourbons, who, if he had equal refources, would be capable of executing plans, of equal mag. nitude and importance.

The fpirit of colonization, which had been for many years relaxed, began to revive at the clofe of the 16th century. From 1598 to 1670, various voyages were profecuted to that part of North America now called Nova Scotia, and the fettlements of Acadia and Quebec were made, which laid the foundation of the fubfequent power of the French in Canada. The country was called New. France and a new commercial company was formed, under the direction of the Cardinal de Richlieu and others, for carrying on the trade and managing its internal concerns.

New-France had been increafing in population and ftrength for many years, when in 1670, under the goverment of the Count de Frontenac, and the intendance of M. Talon, fome Frenchmen undertook to make difcoveries to the wellward. Thefe

The death of the former in 1675, and the departure of M. Talon for France, prevented any further profecution of the difcovery for a time.

Robert Cavelier Sieur de la Salle educated in the College of the Jefuits, was a man of bold and enterprifing character. He conceived the project of penetrating to Japan or China by a north or weiterly courfe ftom Canada, and though deflitute of all the means requifite for fo great an undertaking, his mind was deeply occupied with this defign, when the return of Jolyet to Montreal with the account of the difcovery of the Miffiffippi, engaged his attention. He then went to France where he was received with great favour by the chief perfons of the Court, who patronised his fcheme.-On his return to Quebec, he began his voyage, with Chevalier de Tonti, to whom he confided the care of erecting a fort at Niagara, which he had marked out.

In 1682 he defcended the river Illinois, and in February of the fame the Mifliflippi, and arrived at its mouth on year entered the 9th of April.

I WISH to know of you, sir, whether in your repeated attacks upon me respecting the Litchfield election you desire to be considered in the character of a man of truth and honesty, or the unprincipled editor or a party newspaper. It is difficult in my mind, sir, to separate the private obligations of human action from the public conduct of a man. And under this impression I cannot reconcile your treatment of me in your editorial capacity to your duty towards me as an individual in society. I state a fact, which you deny, and challenge proof; I furnish the best testimony the case will admit, and invite you to examine it. Still you persist in accusing me of dishonesty, of adhering to a "thrice repeated falshood." Now, Mr. Sampson, if you will say on your honor or your conscience, that you believe my assertion in question is false, I will forever shut my mouth in silence. But, sir, since you dare not su waterly commit your moral character, why do you suffer my integrity to be so unjustly disputed ? I speak to you of morals, for which, I hope, we both feel a sincere regard. Of another principle I hope not to be compelled to remind you. If you can detect me in any sins of omission, or in giving false coloring to facts, expose me whenever you can find opportunity. But do not assail my private reputation do not proclaim to the world concerning me what you would not think of affirming to your neighbor. Let your types speak the language of your heart, and I ask no more on 'this condition I will throw myself upon your vengeance.But, sir, if principle, if morality, if truth, are to be disregarded in what you have to write of me, the sooner you assure me of it the better; I will thank you for your candor, and give up the odious contest.

:

With regard to the point which created this controversy, I repeat to you that what I first publishea was obtained from the most correct information, and confirmed (since you disputed my authority) by the testimony of three of the first characters on the spot. This restimony you are again invited to examine, and to doubt or deny its validity if you can. The minor consideration of a similar statement appearing in another paper I made no account of, as the fact was sufficiently established without this evidence. The paper I allude to is the Watch-Tower, in which it occurred to me that I saw the article, though as my file of that paper is not complete I cannot mention the particulat number in which it appeared.

If I have taken up this subject in a more serious manner than you have considered it; if I lay more stress on reputation, morality and truth, than you attach to them in your editorial concerns; I beg you to attribute this difference in our views to my ignerance and inexperience. For I have ye to learn, that it is justifiable for a man to make use of language and means in his public capacity which he would condemn in ate life, and that it is rst cowardly and criminal to publish to the world assertions

Permit me to ask you, Mr. Holt, how many weeks or days, it has been fince you firft perceived your mind to be under the guidance of this delicate fentiment. If you will be at the trouble of reviewing your editorial labours in Hudfon, you must be fenfible (if you are not confcious of it now) that my reputation has, in no wife, been an object of your tender regard.You came here a ftranger; and foon introduced yourself to me, in a manner not very ceremonious or polite. In feveral of your papers, and without the leaft fhadow of provocation on my part, either my name has been exprefsly mentioned, or my perfan has been alluded to, with an evident detrga to wound my feelings and my charafter. To the reiterated fquibs and innuendoes in the Bee, which have been diretted against me, I have made no reply. My filence was not from fear-not from inability to inflict a fcourge upon one or two of your prompters, that would have been deeply felt but it was from a deep-rooted averfion to all unnecessary perfonalities-from a ftrong repugnance to appear in the character of an egotift-from an unwillingness to fill the columns of the Balance (a paper which I wish and endeavor to render generally ufetul) with fuch local and perfonal matters as in no wife concern the most of its readers.Actuated by these motives, I have made no attempts to repel the feeble darts with which I have been affailed from the Bee; and, excepting a cool and difpaffionate anfwer, in the 47th number of the Balance, to certain ftrictures, of which you yourself was believed to be the author, I have not,. according to my prefent recollection, written or caufed to be written a single paragraph concerning you or your'paper.

As far as is practicable, I wish always to be on civil terms, especially with my fellow-citizens and neighbours: and tho' your fage of me has not tended to prepoffefs me greatly in your favour, I fhal! not fail to treat you, from time to time, as an editor, with as much civility as you.

P. S. Mr. Holt is requested to republifh this reply in the Bee.

And is this the way, sir, you intend to evade your "thrice-repeated falshood" concerning the Litch field election? Shanie on such meanness and cowardice Why fly from the point in controversy, to make a personal attack on Mr. Sampson? It is but a short time since you declared that you wished never to be brought into view in a political contest -but that your paper was the only thing with which the public had any concern. In no instance have we departed from this line of conduct with respect

[blocks in formation]

It is my duty (a duty which I shall never he backward in performing) to contradict the falshoods which appear in your paper; and, though I shall not meddle with your private reputation, I shall take care to exhibit every trait of your editoral con. Juct.

I know net on what authority you made your first assertion concerning the Litchfield election; nor do I care. It is sufficient for me that I know it to be false; and that the extracts of letters without signatures, which you have adduced as proof, if they are to be depended upon, prøve it to be so Further, I do not believe that the assertion was originally made in the Watch-Tower; nor shall I believe it, until the paper is produced.

You begin to tell of being serious. Really, sir, we have ever been so in this affair. And perhaps it will now be your best way to get rid of the business, to say you have hitherto only been joking. "Yours to serve."

FURTHER PROOF OF THE VERACITY OF THE BEE

The last Bee contains the following absolute falshood:-"The latest American edition of Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary was printed by the now printer of the Balance." In reply to this, we need only declare, that the printer of the Balance was never connected in printing Voltaire's Dictionary. The latest American edition we have seen, was printed in 1797, at which time the printer of the Balance was but seventeen years of age-This is not of the least consequence, only it serves to shew how little depedence ought to be placed on the publications in the Bee.

INSTABILITY OF RICHES.

A

SUDDEN tranfition from af. fluence to indigence is among the most diftreffing of human trials. The poorest are not always the leaft happy. There are thoufands of poor people, who difcover marks of more felf enjoyment than fometimes falls to the lot of the rich. As poverty has always been their daily inmate, it excites neither their difgnft, nor their dread. Thoughtlefs, as the birds that fly over their heads, of providing for to-morrow, and fhielded alfo again ft the fcorpiongoadings of ambition, they keenly relish the prefent coarfe and homely meal. They "eat their bread with joy, and drink their cup with a merry heart."

Balmy fleep fails not to vifit the hard pillow on which they lay their heads.They laugh, they fing, they dance; and, on the whole, they manifeft as much contentment and fatisfaction as any clafs of people under the fun. There has been many a poor man, whofe fum of enjoy

ment was much greater than that of his rich

A furmife like this, at firft would feem untender, and be thought unworthy of any but the contracted breast and illiberal heart; and could the mind preferve its priftine whitenefs, unspotted by the arrival of maturer years, it would be uncharitable to call in queftion its native purity; but while the eye of affection is intent on viewing the fancied bloffom of perfection, another feafon in life is haftening. The filent foot of time moves fwiftly on. The blufh of morn is tranfient. Approaching childhood kindles latent fparks, awakens dormant powers, extends the fphere of action and opens an ample field for nature to display its innate qualities. But progreffive age robs the diamond of its luftre, and the fun of innocence of its effulgence; for scarcely does the dawn of reafon commence, but

But to a family that had been accuftomed to the fplendor and delicacies of affluence, the cup of poverty has the bitterness of wormwood and gall; and the fuddennefs of the reverfe is a very aggravating ingredient in this cup. In the prefent tranfitory ftate of things, trials of this kind are not uncommon. Riches are held by very uncertain tenure, & often, when it is leaft expected, "they make to themselves. wings, and fly away." Sometimes a fadden guft of wind wrecks and overwhelms, in a moment, the moft ample fortunes.Sometimes (as in the recent and moft affecting inftance of Portfmouth in NewHampfhire) the opulent inhabitants of a large commercial town are awakened from the fecurity of fleep, to witnefs the in-gloomy clouds obfcure the mental horiftantaneous deftruction of their property. In vain, leaping from their beds, do they oppofe their fecble efforts to the fpreading torrent of flame. Their magnificent dwellings, their coftly furniture, their fpacious and richly furnished flores, are, in quick fucceflion, enveloped by the devouring element and they fly aghaft, in queft of hofpitable fhelters, where they may lay their heads." The beams of the evening fun played delightfully upon their gilded walls and turrets; the light of the morning-fun but increafes their woes, by opening to their view the fmouldering ruins, as well of their fathers' earnings, as of the fruits of their own industry.
