When dealing Winter vents his rage,
Each earthly profped to destroy,

With gleams of never fading jy.

Like Summer's heat, his ficadfhip glows,
Exempt from ev'ry sordid view,
By him the wretched find repose,
And future blifsful feenes puifue :
70/foP R I NT E R;
PERMIT a giddy trying girl,
For once to fill your Poet's Corner ;
She cares not though the Critics Inari,
Or Betas and Maccaronies scorn her.
She longs, in print, her Lincs to fee,
Oblige her—fore you can't refufe it.
And —if you find her out —your Fee
Shall be—to kiss her—if you choose it,
Perhaps you'll think the Fee too final! ?
You would not think so if you knew her ;
for fhr has charms, coofefs'd by all
Who have the hippiacfs to viw her,
The favour that to you (he proffers,
Has been folicitcd in vain ;
And many flatt'riog {pleaded offers,
Rejeded with a cold difdaio.
She fcorss the Man, however pretty,
CTOHE fobferiber takes this method to inferos
1 the public, That he has moved from
the house where he has lived for some years
pad to the house of Capt. George Smi h ft u<
ate on the main road, a few rods north of the
court house ; and as he has an elegant and well
accomraodaed house, as aifo a good (Woe,

time. ' GILLUM KNOX.
Hartford April, 25th, 1774.
His gen'rous and expanded mind,
The sweet abode of heart felt, peace,
Like Autumn, crowns the lab'riog bind,
And gives to industry inercafe.

However Riches round him flow.
However wife, or great, or witty ;
That's to his Country's Right's a foe.
He that to flatter folks io pow'r,
His country's freedom would betray,
Deserves the Gallows ev'ry hour,
Or wurfc, to feel a Tyrant's sway.
May such alone be übproteded,
By iojuftice or by nature's laws ;
And to defpotie pow'r fubjeded,
Suffer the miseries they cause.
Ta scorn them is each female's Duty,
Let them no children ha v e, or wife ;
May they ne'er meet the Smiles of beauty;
Nor any social joys of life.
ODE to a FRIEND.
IN this foft season let me Gray
Far from the lawless feats of flrife,
Where peace and virtue lead the way,
Where truth emits her cheering ray,
And innocence gives joy to life.
On some eoamell'd bank reclin'd,
When varied Scenes each feofe delight,
Oft let me feaft my wand'ring mind,
And that sweet confelarien find,
Which tells me All is right.
But chief with gratitude my foul be fraught,
To heav'o be ev'ry ardent pray'r addreft,
To crown with joys, furpiffirg human thought,
The hand, the kindly hand, that made me
bled ;
That bad each sorrow from my foul remove,
Banifh'd dilpair, & gave mi peace and leve.
Let each fond nymph and rustic Twain
Proclaim Amintor's faith and troth,
Echo each grove and verdant plain,
The praifo of the god like youth.
Amintor, emblem of the Spring,
Diffuses blessings all around,
No jealous pangs his bosom Ring,
Nor worthlcfs deeds his confcicoce wound ;

w AST Saturday night the prisoners in Nm-
L Gate Prison in Simfbary opened a way
that had been in part Hop'd up, that led from
the place of their confinement into an old deep
fluft that was partly filled with rocks & stones ;
William Johnson Crawford, and Daniel Hum
phry (foretimes called Daniel Collyer Hum
phry,) being more bold than the rest, ventured
to pull away the stones from over their heads,

out of the way to keep a communication be
tween them, and all promised themselves a foe
dy cfcape when,(at about three o'c'ock in the

gave way, and funk into the (haft, whete Craw
ford and Humphry were at work, 10 the great
conflernation of the three other prifeners wboLy
they really believe that Crawford and Humphry
are both buried under the flouts, &c.— but
whether they are buried there or by some means
efciped appears uncertain to those who have
viewed the place, but rather corj aure the lat
ter. Therefore, this is to give notice, that if
any person or persons will rake up said Crawfrd
and Humphry, or either of them, and convey
them to laid New Gate, shall have Ten Dollars
reward for each ^id by
