ODE TO DEATH,
losatiate scou ge of human race ’
Fell fiend ! in what Tartarian place,
Whose “looms no living soul may trace,
Lov’st thou,Oh Death! todwell?
Is it bv Acheron’s deep moan ?
Lethe’s dall stream ? fierce PiCgethon ?
Or where mid curses, flames ar.d groau,
Hiss the dire Furiea r
Fur from those realms on sulphurous
storms, ^
A thousand demons (dragon forms)
Bear thy wing'd chariot, when to arms
Thou call'st thy legions.
And lo! they join in blark array ;
Grief guards the rear, the van, Dismay
Shades with damp wing—while for their
Fainiue and anguish howl, fprey,
There ravenous Plague lays waste the
piains,
Consumption drags her lingering pains,
While haggard Madness clanks his chains
Aud frenzied Fever raves.
All forms are thiee l Night’s murkiest
shade
Now stuouJs the*—now. tky flaming
blade [dread,
B.audish’d aloft, s’rikes realms with
Heaven’s tierce destroyer !
SeeMirthjWith wine-dipp’d roses crown’d:
Vain is the daucc's mazy round ’
Vain, vain tna lute’s soft warbling sound !
For thy ieil farm is there.
Now, iu the Asp’s envenom’d fang.
And na*, where th-eat’ning billows hang
0‘er the wieck’-* bark, and m*w raid clang
Of clashing aims thou art.
Xli k the grim Li'»n—crourh’d he lies
With bristling mane aud flaming eyes—
lie ro^rs...he springs., thy mandate flies,
. And the pale victim bleeds.
» Loud howls the blast; now fiercely glare
Heaven’s rallying bolts ; wra|*t now the
In tenfold night; I see thee there, [air
Guiding the tempest.
But chief, thou lov’st the bloody fiay
Where hostile thousands, thousands slay.
And suljiiiurous «moke obscures the day,
And the hoar se trumpet brays.
Tl-v giant limb, wh*t frenzy shakes?
Why hiss with tenfolO rage thy snake* r
Is it sonte dreaded fiend that wakes
Thire utmost ire ?
Why that wild laugh ?—*tis guilt that
uie» „
Tby snaky scourge—thy fiery eye^J
Harrow his soul—dire spectres rise,
And bant the unknown before him.
But oh! far ether is tby mien,
Bled art thy terrors when serene,
Virtue soa-* hence—thou then art seen
Like some kind angel.
Mild as the gentlest gales of even.
Glad then as morn, the summons giv’n ;
Thou brar'it the unfetter’d soul to lieav.
Oo wings of rapture. [en
Be such, Oh death! or me thy hand,
Thus gently breathe thy stern command,
Aud let oo to«l remembrance b:and
Reflection’s latest hour.
But come astray'd in d riling light—
Bid op’ning heaven bur*t on my sight,
And chauuting seraphs hail my flight.
To realms beyond thv poaer.

THE 5PORTSMIV.
Many years ago Mr. Printer. I be
longed to’a jov ial company of fox hun
ters. that \»as formed in Chester and
>lontg**merv counties* Many is the
morning that, with the earliest dawn,
mc have been hard at the brush ; the
borr*sounding so shrilly, and cc.io
ins from hitl to hill—the hounds in
. full cry, their voices mingled aim
the hark-awav ol the huntsman ; and
the steed. * hisfneck like the rainbow.
s >ri»»riMg hedges and djtebes. as if ca
rer for the game. Ah ! sir, we have
so such sport nokr-a-*lays. Dogs, dot
t hn and nif1'! have all dogem .'•atciT.—
Yet while ! sigh for the joys that are
gone to me forever. 1 recall the re
membrance of past pleasures w ith de
light ; and if you are disengaged e
i nough to listen to the story ot a gar
rulous old man.|l will relate to you an
im ident that occurred w hile you were
*• nulling in your nurse’s arms.”
| A friend of mine on the borders of
Montgomery county, sent me word
that lie had got a famous hound, of a
new breed, worth any dozen of the1
1 company’s pack* and insisted that,
before our general* hunt, I should
come up and spend the night w ith him
and in the morning ue would take
nut Jowler. and run down a fox—just
to show his dog’s superiority. I did
not need a second invitation, I assure
you, but waited upon him in the high
est expectation of sport.
During the evening my friend laun
ched out in the praises of his hound ;
I expressed some doubts from the
looks of the dog, but he was half an
gry: There was iiev er one, he said, so
true—so fleet—so quick of scent—
! and so he continued on until the cven
j ing was far spent ;• and 1 thought, to
; be sure, that Nimrod himself was ne
ver blessed with so finega hunter. lu
deed I dreamed of the matter, and a
little after midnight awakened the
whole family by the cry of hark-awav
for I verily thought wre were in full
I chase.
The morning came, and we started,
after giving orders for a large chick
en pie to be prepared for our afternoon
repast. It was not long before the
due- took to the woods, and his voice,
clear—eager—slirill, burst upon the
ear. “ Aye, I told you so,” said
my friend, exultingly ; “ a fine fellow
—none of your Chester park like him;
—Now puss will buy it, I’ll warrant
tou.” \Ve put spurs to our horses,
but found as we approached, that the
dog did not seem to move. “ He has
him already,” said my friend, his eye
sparkling with delight. We reached
the sp>t and behold! the dog had fall
en into a hole, from which the lime
stone had been quarried, and could
not get out Evidently chagrined, my
friend told me it was an accident that
might have happened to the best dog
in Christendom. 1 repeated my doubts,
but his confidence seemed undiimnish
ed. He sprang from his horse—lilt
ed Jowler from the pit, patted him a
little, and bid him again—“ to the
woods.”
It was a quarter of an hour before
we hoard the voice of t<»is la'ourite
again. At length in a valftv some
distance on our right, we heard him
open with great spirit. Hope and
joy again lighted up the countenance
of mv friend. We stopped a memen -
to mark the room- puss was taking,
and soon followed at full speed. Alack
a dav! the voice again became station
ary I and reaching the place, lo ! poor
Jowler had come to astone wall which
he could not leap, and did not choose
to go round : then*, sitting on his
rump, he was howling most piteous
niusirk.
In short, the dog was not worth a
baubce, with all his pretensions. He
was a right promise much and do lit
tle. Our sport was baulked, for that
day. We got home before the pie
was read? but I ne'er could bring
my friend, "ho was somewhat opini
onated* to own but that Jowler was a
good hunter.
Now Mr. Miner, if we caught no
fox.the jaunt was not entirely lost to
mr ; for 1 learned not to gi' e tot. ir.uVh
credit to specious appearances—new
tbn.gs—and flattering promises.
Wh“n 1 see a ymiug merchant, at
the very outset in business, assuming
a very consequential air talking
largely of bis profits—netting up his
carriage, and handling his hardware
with gloves, lest he should soil Ins
hands, “ Promise much, and du lit
tle.” think’s jl. ami old Jowler in
stantly occurred to my 'recollection.
When I see a young farmer w ho
’has just came to his patrimonial es
tate. busilv engaged in planningp.ea
st, re grounds—tea. ing down tlie man
sion bouse tojbuild more fashionably,
setting the comfortable family carn
age wild buying a new gig of half the
value, but twice thecost—and neglect
ing the wheat, the barley, and the
clover fields; “ Take rare young
man. think’s !. that’s not the dogyouc
father hunted with.”
! When I see afair faced—well dress
j ed pretty spoken girl, " bo can quote
I Scott and Byron. I like it well, for it
! i> ddightfnl to see a lady with a cul
tivated mind, though, to be sure, i
would rather, if I was a young man,
have the girl I loved, quote Cow per
and Hannah Moure. But if chance
I should throw me unexpectedly into
her parlour, and I find her slip shod,
her hair uncombed—reading some
favourite romance. •• Promise much
and do little.” think’s I, and the fox
buut rushes at once upon mind.

FEDERALIST* OF LOUDOI*N !
j The following article is published to
| give vou a partial view of the grounds
! general Mason means to take to try t<»
| deprive many of you of the right o! suf
frage. But we think the general will be
sorrjr that he had not withdrawn his pro
test to the whole, instead of a part of
vour votes, before the business is closed ;
i for we think it must end in the discoro
' fiture of the general, as it did at the polls
j in April last. Federalists, arouse from
j your lethargy! Will you still stand with
I your arms folded, and see a roan attempt
ed to be forced upon you by the demo
crats a* yoor representative? No, we
say again, awake! and put your mark on
the bad votes on general MV list. W e
know of many, and we shall drag them
forth. —
