AGAIN mild comfort, ary cheering maid,
» Again defrend ! Thy votary claims lhy aid.
Thou art my onlv muse—girl of the fun-beam eye !
Oh bend effulgent from thy cloudleft (ky,
To where yon fair, young widow, wild and fad,
Is led, half frantic, to her lonely beo.
Soft dews exhal'd from hcav'nly fl >w'rets hring,
And (hake them gently from thy lilken wing :
With time's dull pencil, every griet efface,
And lull the horror of the last embrace.
Then wide around, sweet maid, thy finite# extend —
He whom (he mourns, was every good man's iriend ;
The poor, the rich, the bondmen and the free,
In this dull, daik'ning hour have need as thee !
BOUSH, had a mind, where merry would refute
As at her home—an eye unrais'd bv pride,
A heart—friend (hip within and pr. ee was at its door,
A hand—that ponr'd its bounties on the poor.
His was a face, whence goodness threw around
Her sweetest Imiles—where " joy serene" was found,
And where raild virtue lent its {tarry ray
To light his friends, along life's thoiny way.
SPIRIT so good, why woyld'ft thou bade away,
Whv leave thy ftniling friends, the chearfut day ?
Why leave thy Fanny in the world alone,
And thy own body in tlie mould'ring tomb ?
Was it to ride upon the fleeting wind ?
Could'ft thou in Ether purer blcfungs find ?
Was it to fail upon the curling cloud,
Where fancied forms, in airy figures crow'd ?
Or would'il thou soar to where the fix'd (lars fninc,
Nearer to view, how vast, a hand divine
Shap'd. their bright orbs ? Or in that mournful hour,
Had'A. Thou a mandate from Almighty pow'r,
To leave far off, the earth, the seas, the air,
And brin-r before him, every poor man's prayer ?
Dazzled you'll stand, where every Saint has (food,
But veil thee, with the bleflings of the good ;
And while around celestial breezes fan,
Pe as thou haft been, dill the friend olMan.

LITCHFIELD, (Con.) Nov. 9.
Last Friday the Gcnei al Afl'embly of this (late
closed the Ortober session.
In the course of the session, many important
matters came before the afl'embly, which were
referred for further confederation to the aflenibly
to be holden in May next. Among others, were
the report of a committee on the petiiion of the
fufrerers in the feaport-tnwns, by the inroads and
depredations of the British daring the late war ;
stating their fiJStrings by loss of property to a.
mount of nearly three hundred thousand pounds;
and an offer of three hundred and fifry thousand
dollars for n quit-claim of the territory claimed
by this fVate, south of Lake Erie ; an atft regu
lating the militia of this state; with others of
less consequence. The bill for dividing tlifc state
in (even diftridis, each to choose one member of
Congress, was taken back after conliderable dis
cussion.
LONDON,
Extrxft of a letter from Warfavi, dated Augi/ft 17.
Transactions, exhibiting an inHance of niolt
abominable fanaticifm, which happened lately
in the city of Ilawa, about 12 leagues from this
place.
A reputable woman, widow of an apothecary,
named Wilke, a protestant, and an old inhabi
tant of that place, having Tome business to tranf
a<fl at Warsaw, was prelented by a friend with a
doll for the amusement of her children ; the old
est of which was a girl of 8 years old.
The children on receiving this doli, without
any offenfive intention, decorated the fame by
hanging a small effigy of the (so called) Mother
Mary around its neck, which had been given
them by a Monk.
A fanatic and enemy to the family, who was a
ftvbaltern in the grenadier regiment of Kalzinf
ki, gave information of this innocent diversion
and complaining thereof to the board of civil
and military commiflioners, as being facreligious,
who caused a criminal process to be ifliied against
the poor widow, mother of the children, by
which 4he was condemned, and sentenced to be
beheaded.
Providentially Mr. Krapinfki, a member ofthe
Consistory of Diflenters at Warsaw, hearing of
this unnatural proceeding, iiiimediately present
ed a petition ia favor of this unhappy woman,
to the King and Sovereigti Council ; in confe
queneeof which, a Salvus was granted
to the poor widow, and orders given to the judge
to Hay the execution : Privilege was also granted
her to appeal-to- the-mixed Aifefibrial Court, to
determine refpetfing her unhappy situation.
This court, although it preserved the life
of the woii'an, nevertheless, pronounced the
following inhuman sentence, viz. •' That the
unhappy mother (hould be compelled to chastise
her own children in the presence ofthe initia;a
rorwith a rod, so long, and until the blood Ihould
follow the rod !"—Of which piiniihment one of
the children now lies dangeroiifiy ill. After the
above sentence was executed, the doll was pub
lickly burned on the 9 fh day of AuguO:, by the
hand of the common executioner.
