HERE is not, perhaps, any re

Mr. URBAN, Brecon, April 8. HAVE obferved for fome years paft the Green-gage plumb-tree to be a very flight bearer (and which has been noticed by moft gardeners), but could get no fatisfactory reafon for the fame. This month I obferved a tree of mine bud for bloffom very fine; but in a few days afterwards I noticed that the bloffom had fallen. I then watched, and obferved a bullfinch very bufy upon the tree picking off the buds. Perhaps there may be a particular fweetnefs attached to this bloffom, which induces this bird to give it the preference.

Which of us, my refpected friends, have not thus fmpathized with the tears of forrow, and thereby mitigated the mournful agonies of diftrefs? Who is there among all the fons of Adam who has not borne the fighs of grief, and wept with thofe that weep?

We have here no common cause for our concern; the tribute of our tears is the laft that we can offer to the merits of the man! the tribute of our refpect is due to his public character the tribute of veneration and applause is the debt we owe to his fame!

It is with affecting delight we cons template the merit of our departed friend, and review his eminent fervices fince his introduction to this humane Inftitution; and hey feem to have reflected back the honour which they caft upon each other. As patrons of this Houfe of Mercy, you have revered his skill, and duly apprecia ed his exertions in its caufe: you have seen the
