POETRY.

TIME'S CHANGES. I saw her once so freshly fair That, like a blossona just unfoldin j, She opened to Life's cloudless air, And NaturejoyM to view its moulding; Her smile it haunts my memory yet Her cheek's fine hue divinely glowing Her rosebud mouth her eyes of jet Around on nil tor light bestowing: Oh! w ho could took on such a form, So nobly free, so softly tender. And darkly dream that earthly storm Should 'dim such sweet, delicious splendor Tor in her mien, and in her face, And in her young steps fairy lightness, Nought could the rapturM gazer trace ButBeautv's glow and Pleasure's brightness.

I saw her twice nn altered charmBut still of magic richest, rarest, Than girlhood's talisman less warm. Though yet of earthly sights the fairest: Upon her breast she held a child, The very image of its mother; Which ever to her smiling smiled, They seemed to live but in each other: But matron cares, or lurking woe, Her thoughtless, sinless look had banish'd, And from her cheek the roseate glow Of girlhood's balmymorn had vanish'd; Within her eye;, upon her brow, Lay something softer, fonder, deeper, As if in dreams some visional woe Had broke the Elysium of the sleeper.

I saw her thrice Fate's dark decree In widow's garment had array'd her; Yet beautiful she seemed to be, A even my reveries pourtrny'd her; The glow the glance had pass'd away. The sunshine, and the sparkling glitter: t till, though I noted pale decay. The retrospect was scarcely bitter; For. in their place a calmness dwelt, Serene, subsiding, soothing, holy ; In feeling hich, the bosom felt That every louder mirth is lolly A pensiveness which is not grief, A stillness as of sunset streaming A fairy glow on flower and leaf, Till earth looks like a landscape dreaming A last time and unmoved she lay. Beyond Life's dim, uncertain river, A glorious mould of fading clay. From whence the spark had tied fer e?er. I gazed my breast was like to burst And as I thought of years departed, The years wherein I saw her first, When she, a girl, was lightsome hearted: And, when 1 mused on later davs, A? moved she in her matron dutv, A happy mother, in the. blaze Of ripen'd hope, and sunny beauty ) felt the chill J turned aside Ltfvik Desolation"- cloud came o'er me And CMngsermM a troubled tide,

as reading and inquisitive people, should soj

generally patronize newpapers, that there are

three times as many different Gazettes published in the United States, (although not in such large numbers as some of the London pa

pers) as are printed in England, with a population greatly exceeding ours. The universal patronage of public journals in this country and it is really a matter ot wonder that it is not far more liberal and extensive is honorable to our literary taste and

discernment, and a conclusive proof of the rc-

tinement and morals of the people; tor no nation can be ignorant, enslaved, profligate and mi crable, where the press is free, and ably conducted news-papers are numerous, and well supported. FRANKLIN. DR. FRANKLIN.

"Dr,Franklin had many political enemies.

as every character must, w hich, with decision

enough to have opinions, has energy and tal

ent to give them ettect on the leelmgs oi the adversary opinion. These enmities were chiefly in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. In the former they were merely of the proprietary party; in the latter they tiici not commence till the revolution, L then sprung chiefly from per sonal animositics.which spreading by littieand little.become at length of some extent. Dr. was his principal calumniator; a man of much malignity, who, besides enlisting his whole family in the same hostility, w as enabled, as the agent of Massachusetts with the British government, to infuse it into that state with considerable effect. Mr. Jav, Silas Deane, Mr. Laurens, his colleagues also, ever maintained towards him unlimited confidence and respect. That he would have waived the formal recognition of our independence, 1 never heard on any authority worthy notice. As to the fisheries, England was urgent to retain them exclusively, France neutral, and 1 believe that hail they been ultimately made a sine qua nnn. our commissioners (Mr. Adams excepted) would hive relinquished them rather than hare broken off the treaty. To Mr. Adams's perseverance alone on that point, I have alwaysunderstood we were indebted for their reservation. As to the charge of subservience to France, besides the evidence of his friendly colleagues before named. two years of my own service with him at Paris, daily visits, and the most friendly 4-confidential conversations, convince me it hied not a shadow of foundation. He possessed the confidence of that govcrnment in the highest degree, insomuch thnt it may truly be said that they were more under his influence than he under theirs. The fact is, that his temper was so amiable and conciliatory, his conduct so rational, never urging impossibilitcs, oreven things enre.ncnably inconvenient to them, in short so moderate and attentive to their difficulties, as we ll as our own, that what his enemies called subserviencv, I saw was only that reasonable, disposition. which sensible that advantages are. not all to be on

jone side, yielding what is jot and liberal, is

the more certain of obtaining liberty and justice. Mutual confidence produces of course mutual influence and this was all w hich subsisted between Dr. Franklin and the government of France."
