heath,

Where rose the village church-yard fence.

The grave that held her Herbert dear Poor Lucy's lifeless form receiv'd;

The friendly throng all dropt a tear;

dear,

Who lov'd me with Affection's

They mourn'd her miserable fate;

Not hers the sin, not hers the

shame;

But deepest woe must sure await

The fiend whose arts destroy'd her

fame;

Whose base, deceptive, hellish plan,

To madness drove a feeling mind. Alas! infatuated man!

Why are you thus to virtue blind?

A modest tombstone marks the place Where rest this fond but wretched pair;

On which an after-age may trace,
With tearful eyes, a lesson rare.

Alike the young and gay may learn
To shun all error as their bane;
May learn Seduction's wiles to spurn,
To walk in Virtue's hallow'd train.

The whole proceedings marked with uncommon solemnity, and evinced the unfeigned affliction felt by all classes of citizens.

In this solemn dispensation of Providence we behold the uncertainty of sublunary things, a fellow mortal in health in the evening, and a corpse before the next rising sun.

At the commencement of our revolution, general Dayton, though possessed of a competency of this world's goods, and in the fruition of every domestic enjoyment, balanced not between which side he should take, but with a patriotic ardour devoted himself to the service of his country, in the times which tested true patriotism, and never quitted the tented field until the consummation of our independence.

General Dayton was open, generous, and sincere; ardent in his friendship, and scrupulously upright in all the moral duties; in manners easy, unássuming, and pleasant: his charity prompt and diffusive; a warm and zealous supporter of the gospel.

Few excelled him in the relative duties of husband and parent; and as a neighbour he was pre-eminent in that virtue.

This venerable patriot of '76 had been engaged in active life ever since he was 19 years of age, and a great part of it in the service of his country.

Lately, at Upper Makefield, Pennsylvania, Thomas Lungly, aged upwards of seventy years. He was born near London; and, coming to Pennsylvania about fifty years since, with a handsome little fortune for those times, he commenced shopkeeping in the neighbourhood of his final exit, and conducted his business for some years with propriety and reputation, when, without any apparent cause, he fell into a partial derangement of his understanding, in which he continued to the last, supposing himself to be the king of Pennsylvania, but was content not to trouble society with any exercise of his regal autho rity, and firmly believing in the invisible agency of evil spirits. He then travelled on foot in the employ of an 7
