General Wayne it one of many of our rev olutionary heroes, who have been suffered to sleep in their graves unhonored, and appar ently forgotten by their country. The nu merous battles in which bo fought during our struggle for independence, attest hiscour age and Ins conduct; while the victories of the MUmies, in l?94, added a fresh wreath to hi* laurels: The next year after this vic tory, he died at Presque Isle, while conclu ding a treaty with the Indian*, and was buri’d on the shore of Lake Erie. No stone or monument has been erected to bis memo ry, and a ruined picket is all that oaark* the grave, if even that remains to tell where the hero lie*. Permit the muse to present her Iriking offering at his grave. ! went to Ins grave and saw never e. atone, To tell the brave warrior’s story, Who "mong the sons of his country had shone, Like a star in her diadem's glory. The deeds of his youth his comrades can ted, When war was wak'd by the cannon’s rat* tie, When he stood by the side ./those who ft!!, The first, and the foremost in battle. The field' ef his fame were many and fair, Where lie fought with his soldiers around him, And oft, at the close of the conflict of war, The bright garland of victory bound binr But now in the wild, far, far in the west, The brave, gallant warrior is lying, Just crown'd with victory, ha sunk to bis rest. And peace smil'd on his hour of dying. And there, in a lone and desolate grave, By Erie’s green waters they laid him, And there he lies, the gallant and brave, While no sepulchral honors are paid him. But tho soldier, will ever remember his worth; And treasure with fondness his story: And the gallant will shed a tear on the turf, Where he sleeps in the bed of his glory. *' He healeth the broken in heart and bind• eth vp their wounds.” O THOU who driest the mourner's tear Flow dark this world would be, If when deceived and wounded here, We could not fly to thee; The friends who in our sunshine live, Wtyen winter comes, are flown; And the> who bave bat tears to give, Musi weep those tears alone, But thou wilt heal that broken h*art, Which like the plants that throw Their fragrance from the woanded part Breathe sweetness out of wee. When joy no longer soothes or cheers, And e’en the hope that threw A moment’s comfnrt on our taars, Is dimmed and vanished toe. Ah ! who would bear life’s thorny doom, Did not thy wing of love, Come gently wafting through the gloom, On peace branch from above. Then Sorrow, touched by thee, grows bright, Wish more than raptures ray ; As Darkness shews us worlds of light We never saw by daf. The worthy Bditor of“ Ni'es’ Weekly Register,” has got into “ Freedom’s chair' again, or rather is getting into it. He was some days st Washington towards the close of the late session of Congress, watching not only (he proceedings, but the “ counte nances’" of the members.

THE MOCKING BIRO. The plumage of the Mocking Bird, tho* none of the honibliest, has noth ing gaudy or brilliant in it ; and had he nothing else to rocorrnnend biro, would scarcely entitle him to notice, but his figure is well proportioned, and even handsome. The ease, elegance, ami rapidity of big movements, the animation of his eye, and the intelli gence be displays iu listening, and lay ing up lessons from almost every spe cies of the feathered creation within , hi* hearing, are really surprising and I mark the peculiarity of his genius, j To those qualities me may add that of a voice full, strong, and musiral, and capable of almost every modulation, from the clear mellow tones of the Wood Thrush to the savage scream of the Bald Eagle. In the measure and *e. > cent, he faithfully follows hi* origi nals. Iu force and sweetness of ex. pressiou, he greatly improves upon i them In his native groves, mounted on the top of a tall bush or half grown tree, iu the dawn of dewy mornings, while the woods are already vocal with ; a multitude of warbles, bis admirable song arises pre-eminent over every competitor. The ear can listen to his music alone, to which that of the others seems a mere accompaniment. Wei ; thor is this strain altogether imitative. i His own native notes, which are easi j !y distinguishable by such as are well ! acquainted with those of our various snog birds, are bold and full, and va ried seemingly beyond all limits. They consist of short expr^s-ions of 2, 3. or at the most 5 or 6 syllables, gen erally interspersed with imitations, and all of them uttered with great em phasis and rapidity, and continued with undiminished ardour for halt an hour or an hour, at a time. His ex panded wings and (ail glistening with white, and the buoyant gaiety of his action arresting the eye, us his song most irresistably does the eur, he sweeps round with enthusiastic eestaey —he mounts and descends as his song swells or dies away ; and, as my friend Mr. Bartrmt has beautifully expres sed it, He bounds aloft with the ce. ferity of an arrow, as if to recover or recall his very soul, expired in the last elevated strain,”—-While exer ting himself, a bystander, destitute of sigh', would sunpese that the whole feathered tribe had assembled together on a trial of skill, each striving to pro duce Lis utmost effect, so perfect are ins imitations. He many times de ceives the sportsman, and sends him in search of birds that perhaps are not within miles of him, hut whose notes he exactly imitates : even birds them, selves are frequently imposed on by this admirable mimic, and arc decoyed by the fancied calls their mace ; or dive, with precipitation, into the depth of thickets, at the scream of w hat they suppose to be the Sparrow Hawk. The Mocking Bird loses little of the , power and energy of his song by con finement’ Iu his domesticated state, when he commences his career of song, it is impossible to stand by uninter- i ested* I*»e whistles for the dog : Cse-1 ear starts up, wags his tail, and runs to | meet his master. He squeaks out like a i hurt chicken, and the hen hurries a- ; hout with hanging wings and bristled j feathers, ducking, «o protect hei in jured brood- The barking of the 1 doe, the mewing of ti e ca«, the creak- j ingof a passing wheel.barrow, follow- | ed with great trull-, nnd rapidity. He repeats the tone taught him by Ins master, though of considerable lengih, fully and faithfully. He runs over (he quiverings of the Canary, ami the clear whistling of the Virginia Nightingale or Red bird, with such su perior execution and effect, that the mortified songsters feel their own in feriority and become altogether silent, while he seems to triumph in their de feat by redoubling his exertions. I he excessive lonnness fcr variety, however, in the opinion of snuie, iti« jure* hif» song. His elevated imita tions of ihe Brow ! Thrush are fre quently interrupted by ilie crowing of cocks : and the warbling* of the Blue* bird, which he exquisitely tonnages, are mingled with the screaming* of swallows, or the cackling of hen*: amidst Ihe simple melody of the Robin, v*e a*-p suddenly surprised by the shrill reiterations of the Whip-poor will j while ihe notes of the Killdeer, Bine Jay, Martin, and twenty other, sue* eeed with such imposing reality, that we look round for the originals, and di*eover, with astonishment, that 'he sole performer in tins singular concert i» the admirable bird now before os During this exhibition of his powers, he spreads his wings, expands his tail, and throws himself around the cage in ail theecstacy of enthusiasm, seem ing not only to sing, hut to dance, keeping time to the measure of his mo. sic. Both in his native & dotrestii ateri states, during Ihe gidemst stillness of night, as the moon rises in silent ma jesty, he begins his delightful solo ; and serenades ns the livelong night, with a full display of his voeal pow ers, making the whole neighborhood ring i with inimitable medley. / 8PR8NG I AX EMBLEM OE THE RESUR RECTION. Thu Gowers which we cow so mueh admit c, were not long since coarse and shapeless roots : but they are at present the ornaments of the earth, and iba delight of our eyes. What a t 6ne image is this of the righteous, and ' the state of their re-animated bodies 5 1 rh® human body, while in the grave, is an objeet of horror ; but it shall ex perience a most astonishing change at the resurrection. “It was sown in weakness, but shall be raised i:t pnw« i er ; it was sown in dishonour, but shall I b® raised iu glory.” The spring no J | sooner takes place of winter; hut life | and joy take place of the melancholy I impressions which a severe season mokes on the mind of man, and the brut hue days cause us to forgot the gloom of winter. Thus at the great j day of the resurrection, shall we for get all the sad aud gloomy days of nur past life. The light of a new creation shall dawn upon os, aud nil nur snr» rows shall subside; and God shall wipe away all tents from our eyes. Spring is the general reuovatinn rf the whole earth. However dull it was . I in winter, i». is now 110 less pleasing c$* delightful. The surronumlmg scene i charms our imaginations, and we fan. ey ourselves transported into a new and more joyous dwelling. Thus in the day of the resurrection, we shall , find ourselves transported into a new, j delightlul, and magnificent habitation. In the new heave> ann new earth, we shall know nothing of the apparent or real etlfecis which attend the globe we now inhabit. Order, peace, beauty, and righteousness, shall render nur future abode the most happy that we can possibly conceive or desire. , When the earth is warmed by the ray* ol the sun, million* of plants and different sorts off flowers spring out of blossom. It will be the same in the re* ! -rreetion ; when ail generations ol men shall rise out of the ground in which they were buried. A* ibe spung flower rises from its seed, full of splen dor and beauty, so the body of a Chris tian, which wns deposited in the earth, shall one day arise, encompassed wiiii glory, and clothed with celestial heau Spring is the epoch of grass, flowers, and plants of all sorts. What is sprung up, daily opens more and more, and more visible. Thus the day of the resurrection shall be to the soul of the Christian, the epoch of the unlimited progress which he shall make iu know ledge and happioe-s. Iu spring all nature seems roused front sleep to praise it* author, by au universal hymn—Similar songs of joy shall re wound in the day of »he resurrection ! from (lie world of the righteous, who shall be with their Redeemer tu behold his glory. With what delight will the soul of the real Christian he filled I We may rise from the less to the grea ter. If the spring in nature be so rich in enjoyment-, what shall be the beau ty and happiness of that spring, the new world. INGENIOUS PLAY UPON WORDS. America Sf Russia—or the offs if (fit ons.
