The following poetic tribute to the Grange, the most ancient and rurally beau- 

 tiful country seat in Delaware County, was composed by Dr. Charles Caldwell, 

 about the year 1798. 



"GRANGE." 



" Remote from walks where noise and revels reign, 

 And fierce ambition fires the phrensied brain, 

 Where jarring mortals clash in venal strife, 

 And thorn-clad cares embitter transient lite, 

 Where woe-fraught Health declines her languid head, 

 And hearses black-rob'd bear the thronging dead ;
