POETRY.

J?Vom the Delaware Gazette. ; T,IirS. , On the death of the ex-n esident Jama iMonrve, Esq, who died July 4, 1831. He died and on that glorious day, , To freedom's triumph given; With his compatriots passed away; With th m to inherit heaven He died upon the hp of fame, Anl sleeps in glory's grave; A notion's I .gacy, his fame, He to his country gave. For liberty and, law h stood In forum and in field; His blade wae drawn, his acred blood ' The brilliant compact sealed. For him a nation weeps a worlJ Feels svmpathy fcincere, And 'neath the fhg of freedom furl'd Great Fayette sheds a tear. The history of another Rome, Shall hence record his fame; When others fill their country's tomb And svvell the nation's name. For him the niche is now prepared In glory's temple high, , With those who nobly bled and dared To couquer or to die. Illustrious sage, 'tis sweet to die, When million's mourn the doom; Blest by a nation's sympathy. What terror has the tomb? - Thy long life spent in glorious deeds Hath robbed death of his sting, For virtue's path to glory lead's, Crowned with eternal spring. Tby country hath to thee been jus'. At last, and saved her tdiame, Her son's will honor thy proud dust, And treasure up thy fame. No monument need mark the spot, Nor work of sculptor's art , Thy glory may not be forgot, Engraved upon the heart. M1LFORD BARD. Adams and Jeflerson, who died on the iftieth Anniversary of American Indepen denco. -o:: ::oWoiitan's Heart First take a feataer and lay it upon The stream that is rippling by With the cur.ent, behold, in a moment His gone, " Unimpressive and light as a sigh fhen take thee a dear and precious stone, And on the same stream place it Oh! mark how the water on wtncli it is thrown, In its bosom will quickly encase it. Or take a chrystal, or stainless glass, With a crayon upon it, then trace sentence or line, and watch how 'twill pass A br ath will its beauty effaceThen take a diamond pure and bright, And write some modest tokenMid old or heat, in shade or 4ight, 'Twill last till the chrjstal is broken. And thus with the tablet of woman's pure heart, Where the vain and the idle may try To leave t ieir impressions they swiftly de part, Like the feather, the scroll and the sigh But once be engraved on that tablet a name And an image of g nius and worth, Through the changes of life it will still be ' the same, iTiU that heart is removed from the earth ,i.s ' o::;:::;;o : Scotch Air.

THE SILVER SIXPENCE. ' 'Do you see here," said a ragged lit f tie boy to a group of young gaily dresk' ed Urchins, as he came up from the maf ket street wharf in Philadelphia do

you see here, I've got a silver sixpence:.,, 1 hey all set up a hearty laUgn,--MWhy said Jeremiah Budd, whose fa ther was a wealthy shipper, MI have sli dolars to spend oti Christmas; and that fellow is proud of a six-pence. Theodore heard I t, and looked tho'tfully at the ground for a moment, then, recollecting himself, "sis 5 dollars to spend muttered he; "but; 6ix-pence to Men & better than that." - r Theodore kept his six-pence in hit pocket, carefully wrappfid Up, for scfv" eral weeks when one day his uncle. who kept a fruit shop at the corner of the alley where he lived, said to him. 'Theodore, your" six-pence don't grovr in your pocket; you should plant it. The little boy understood him better when he told him, if he pleased, he might buy some fruit in the market with it, and stand in his shop and sell it out again. He embraced the offer, doubled his money the first , day, ., ami went od until he had as much iruit to sell as he had room for in his little cor ner. His uncle observing the thrifty, and withal, honest turn of the boy, finally took him into his store as an ast-ista tf and allowed him full privilege to trade in sundry specified articles on his own account. The closest attention to busi ness, the most careful management of his small funds, and that run of good luck, as it is called, which generally runs with those who are saving, industrious and prudent, in the course of three or four years enabled him to go into full partnership , with his uncle, and todouble its formeramount. Having trimmed his sails right asfirst, it had in fact become a kind of second nature with Theodore to keepr what sailors would call, close to tho wind and he made headway astonishingly now. Soon after he Was twentyone, he was able to buy out the whoI stock of a dry goods merchant, and to go into that business On his own ac-1 count entirely. Still he prospered became an Importer changed finally his business for a wholesale conceri embarked in the India trade and at last married a fine girl, whose fortuno was but little inferior to his own; and ii was said, after that occurrence, that ho was not worth less tiian half a million Theodore now lived in an elegant mansion in Arch-stnet, kept his car riage, and had everything in handsomostyle; yet he attended as usual to hit business. That he might never loso sight of the origin of his good fortune, the silver six-pence was blended 'with the arms upon his carriage: it formed the seal with which he stamped his letters; and he had one of the coinshe used to say the very identical on he first owned- fastened upon his des-lc

in the counting-room, llemembering' thus, constantly, that by small means he had risen, he still aimed much well bestowed charity, and in the constant practice of true benevolence, looked well to smull tilings, and never forgot how to reckon pence as well as pounds. Thus smoothly were Theodore's affairs going forward, when one sultry summer day just as he entered his coun ting-room a thin squalid figure present ed himself at the counter and asked for employment. He wore a thread-bare ,

suit of black, an c Id hat, and his shoe w ere almost ready to drop from hit r eet. Theodore looked at the man close ly. He thought he saw tome linea ment he remembered. What is your name?" he asked. The stranger hesitated a moment hung down his head and replied in a low voice "Jeremiad Buddl" Ahr' said 'lheodorc, recollecting him instantly "und ' roil have ernttett clear of your six dollars long ngo, 1 lancy, Jeremiah." ' "Yes." said Jeremiah, with a sing,. "but I have not forgotten the ragged little boy, with the silver sir-pence. Had I been half as careful ol my thousands as he was of his pence; 1 should not now have been hero friendless an J penny less to-day.' ' There was a half trinmphant stril on Theodore's face, as he took the band of his visitor, which teemed to spring from self-complacent feelings, but wa excusable, because it arc partly ron tlie cohciouaness of his ability to aid on Whoi imprudence Ud 4e4 bi K
