It is still occasionally represented but so much has the taste for music got above the ridicule attempted to be thrown upon it, that it is now necessary to decorate with all the graces of studied me lody, those simple and popular airs which were meant as an humorous contrast to Italian execution.

He was buried in his garden at midnight, with out pomp or ceremony, according to his own desire expressed in his will. Busching's cha racter is thus drawn by himself. Though can did and open-hearted, afi'able, ready to assist others, and of a compassionate disposition, I have been comp alled by long experience to be have with harshness to many persons and on various occasions. Sincerely devoted to God through gratitude, and to the Saviour of the world whom I acknowledge without hypocrisy, and without superstitious fear, I am fully con vinced by what 'i have seen and felt that it is by these alone that real and complete happiness can be obtiined. I confide in the Supreme Be ing, and am satisfied with his dispensations. Being of a warm and lively temper, I am sub ject to momentary passion, but on many occa sions I have been accused of passion where I only displayed my usual animation. I am ac tive and quick in my operations, but in some cases suffer myself by these means to be hur ried into precipitation. I am firm in my pur pose, and even to such a degree, that my reso lution has the appearance of obstinacy. Iam moderate in all things; contented with little, and master of my appetites. 'in my intercourse with the world I expect too much from myself; I am therefore often dissatisfied with my own conduct; and on that account wish to confine my intercourse within a very narrow circle, and to shun society. I am free from pride, but not void of ambition, though I often struggle with this passion, and on reflection endeavour to suppress it. Iam so much attached to la bour, that it seems to me a requisite to life, and that my impulse to it is gieatcr than to any sensual pleasure whatever.

Excerpt from General Biography, or Lives of the Most Eminent Persons of All Ages, Countries, Conditions, and Professions, Vol. 8: Arranged According to Alphabetical Order; Part Two Psammitichus, King of Egypt, was a noble of the tribe of Sais, and the son of Ecus, who was put to death by Sabbaco on his con quest of Egypt. He avoided his father's fate by flying into Syria; and after the death of King Serhou was one of twelve lords who as sumed the government of the country, and divided it between them. The part which fell to his lot was the sea-coast; and as, from its marshy quality, it was one of the least valua ble portions, he was induced to cultivate com merce with the Phoenicians, Greeks, and other nations, by which he acquired great wealth, and many foreign connexions. His prosperity excited the envy of his colleagues, who made war upon him; but by the assistance of fo reign mercenaries, or allies, he proved superior, and finally subdued them, and made himself sole monarch of Egypt, after the divided go vernment had subsisted 15 years. This event is dated B. C. 670. He rewarded his allies with lands upon the Nile, and from this era a Grecian colony subsisted in Egypt, which maintained an intercourse with their country men, and rendered the transactions of that kingdom a part of genuine history. Psammi tichus carried on war in Syria, where he be sieged the city of Azotus, which is said to have resisted his arms for the space of 29 years. The preference he gave to foreign soldiers caused the defection of a great body of his own subjects, who marched away to the con fines of Ethiopia, where they formed a settle ment. In order to repair this loss, he attended still more assiduously to the advancement of commerce, and opened his ports to all strangers. He also renewed and extended his alliances with the Athenians and Other Greeks. When the Scythians, who had over-run Asia, were preparing to invade Egypt, he met them in Syria, and by presents and soothing words pre vailed on them to march back. After a long and prosperous reign of 54 years, Psammiti chus died, and was interred in the temple of Bubastis, at Sais. He was the founder of se ve'ral magnificent edifices, and is said to have introduced the culture of the vine in Egypt, and to have sent an expedition for discovering the sources of the Nile.
