POETRY.

From the Dedham Gazette, "SACRED SONG." There is a charm in sacred song, That lifts the pious thought to Heaven, That cheers the soul when troubles throng, And soothes the heart by anguish riven. A charm, inspires the pious breast, AncHifills the heart with pure devotion, That lulls: the wayward thought to rest, And checks each wandering wild emotion. A charm, that dries affliction's tear In secret shed from many an eye, That soothes the grief o'er friendship's bier, .And stifles virtues hallowed -sigh. A charm can yield a purer joy, Than aught on earth besides can give, Can soften pain when cares annoy, And bid each soothing transport live. A charm, can quell each anxious fear, And calm the troubled mind to peace; Can yield a balm to soothe us here, And bid life's rinkling sorrows cease. A charm, that wakes each linger'ring hope; And cheers the gloom of melancholy, That bids the feeling heart to ope, And checks the thoughtless smile of folly. A charm the lonely pilgrim cheers, Journeying thro' life's gloomy vale, That quells his griefs, that calms his fears And soothes his hopes when friendships fail. A charm, sends through the heart a thrill Of pure, serene, uncloying pleasure, Which can each boist'rous passion ' still, And fill of joy's bright cup the measure. A charm, that bids the soul aspire Above this scene by tempests riven, That lights Religion's hallow'd fire, And points the eye of faith to Heaven. Natick, August 20. ci - -' - COURT OF DEATH. Death, the king of terrors, was jtermined to choose a prime minister ; and his pale courtiers, the ghastly train of diseases, were all summoned to attend; when each preferred his claim to the honor of that illustrious office. Fever urged the numbers he had destroyed; cold Palsy set forth his pretentions by shaking all his limbs, and dropsy by his swelled ainwicldy carcase : Gout hobbled

uy and alleged his great power in racking every joint ; and Asthma's inability to speak, was a strong though silent argument, in favor of his claim. Stone and Cholic pleaded their violence. Plague, his rapid progress in destruction 5 and consumption, though slow, insisted that he was sure. In the midst of this contention, the court was disturbed with the noise of music, dancing, feasting and revelry : when immediately entered a lady, with a bold lacivious air, and flushed & jovial countenance; she was attended on the one hand by a troop of cooks and bacchannals, and. on the other by a train of youths' and damsels, who danced half naked, to the softest musical instruments ; her name was INTEMPERANCE. She waved her hand, and thus addressed the crowd of diseases ; Give way ye sickly band of pretenders, nor dare to vie with my superior merits in the service of this great monarch. Am 1 not your parent? , the author of yovr being? do not you derive the power ot shortening human life almost wholly from me ? who then so fit as my. self for this important office? The gristly monarch grinned a smile of approbation, placed her at his right hand, and ihe irmnediatela became his principal favorite and prime minister: INFORMATION WANTED. About the first of May last, my brother, John Livergood, with his family, left Columbia, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, for the state of Ohio or Indiana. I since heard he was at Columbus in this state, but know not where he went from thence.
