PO ETIC A L AS VL UM, 4 JIIr. Srour, BY giving a place the following extract from Low's Poem on Winter, you will rauch oblige, E. THUS are the tenants of the field befet By ruthlrfs want, St man more ruthlrfsyet ; Nor they alone ; the;n Winter often kills, Bat vifits m in with more enduring ills ; Chief over him the feafons wrath impends, An- on his head with ten-fold ragedefcends : With all its rigours now it fmites the poor ; Ali ! who can punt the mis'ry they endure Who pine for daily food, whom rags attire, In whofe ftorm beaten huts a feeble fire But marks the wretched inmates while they freeze, Or fink beneath the preffureof difeafe ? While in a land of plenty they abide. And partial fortune fmiles on ev'ry fide, In vain too often they for fuccour afk, For bread in vain they plead, diftreffing talk!

The chu-1, the mlfrr, and the reptile beau,

Alike unfeeling, Minn the man of woe ; The ftmlhg churl commands him from his fiht; The mifer can't, alas I afford a mite ; The fnplin;j gives the mendicant his curfe, Nor draws one (hilling from his ufelefs pnfe ; For if the worm flnuld charity impart, Twould finvr, oh, dire difgrace.I a feeling heart. The parfimonious make this fpecious plea, 11 To give thvfe fuitors is not charity ; 41 Appearance often i deceitful." True, But if appearance favor thofe who fue, Expand your hearts ; if able, give profufe, Nor with this bafe pretence yourfclvcs excufe : What if fime vagrants no relief deferve, Ah ! let not fuch your gen'rous purpofe frverve ; Should riirtimes artful knaves your pity tteal, And prove unworthy of the boon ye deal, Your duty's done, hcav'n Qill approves the deed, Still bids ye give and ye Ihall never need.

MEMORY OF WASHINGTON.To the Citizens cf the United States, WHEN your beloved WASHINGTON, the Father of his country, died! You saw with increased sensibility, the universe in tears! Americans! How did your bosoms dilate and glow, when, at the first meeting of your political Fathers, following the melancholy event, you saw the call for a MONUMENT worthy of the sublime virtues you hoped to perpetuate, universally applauded. How then, Fellow Countrymen, have ye permitted two whole years to pass since the noble and natural resolution was every where, individually formed ; and the traveller still to ask in vain, Where is the National Monument, sacred to public and private virtue ; to the manes of the illustrious WASHINGTON? Columbians ! you owe to the world, as well as to yourselves, an apology, or an explanation, for the mysterious delay of your acknowledged duty ; since nothing can be more true, than that a mere difference of opinion, relpacing the form of the Monument, or the mode of its elevation, is the sole cause. To prove this, let us agree at once to obviate all difficulty, by uniting in a simple plan ta accord with the annexed, now in operation : TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION, To a Monument sacred to Public and Private Virtue, dedicated to GEORGE WASHINGTON, to be erected in the. City bearing his name, by the voluntary contribution of Citizens of the United States only.--The form, and inscriptions, to be under the entire direction of three Trustees. 1. These articles of subscription for a Monument to WASHINGTON, may be opened in any district or part of the United States, provided that non but citizens be allowed to subscribe, and that no individual be allowed to contribute in his own name more than ONE DOLLAR, to this subscription fund. 2. The name of each subscriber shall be written in a book, and transmitted with the subscription monies, to either branch of the Bank of the United States 3, To render the whole design as simple as may be, three trusty and well beloved friends, namely, Bushrod Washington, and
