The last Time of asking, (in this Way.)
- ^LL persons indebted to the late company of He
man and Levi Allen, are once more earnest
ly desired to pay the fame without delay to me the
fubferiber, or to Mr. Josiah Stoddard, Attorney at
law in Salisbury, near the Furnace, who will attend
on fettling my business, and sue up every account,
note, &c. that remains unpaid more than thirty
days after the publication hereof ; for I am deter
mined,.as I have attended on fettling the above
company's business almost three years, by myfelf,
and some one in my fiead, in my absence, that 1
will now finish said business, ana make a winter
jobb of it. If those indebted candidly consider
how long I have attended on fettling the above busi
ness, I think they cannot expe& my attendance lon
ger than the present winter, especially if they confi
der my large connexions both in the New-H mp-
Shire and Sufquehannah lands, nor wonder at my
putting the business that remains unsettled, into
Mr. Stoddard's hands, when I cannot possibly at
tend upon it myfelf. Levi Allen.
Salisbury, 28th Dec. 1774.
N.B. All officers that have, or may have executions
ip my favour, must depend upon fettling with
me at the expiration thereof, or be proceeded a
gainst for their negleft in due form of law.

ATTENDED by a slave or two,
His journey Zeyn went fafely thro';
He neither wander'd off the course
Nor got a tumble from his horse;
Nor could I without fallhood fay,
I hat he was not robb'd upon the way.
When he was near the city gate,
He ftop'd an honest clown he met.
Pray, friend, said he, could you direct
" One to the house of Morabec ;
" He's a Balforaman, if that
" Will point out him, I would be at."
"' Sir, said the clown, with more refpeX
" You ought to talk of Morabec ;
" Grand Cairo's felf does not afford
" A wealthier or a worthier Lord :
" As for his palace, that you'll meet.
" At foot of yonder Hooping street."
By way of thanks, Zeyn gavea nod,
And onwards to the palace rode,
While strange to him the land appears
Vv acre folks at once are slaves and peers :
(Surprize that him wou'd not have smitten
If ever he had been in Britain.)
No stranger thro' the city pafs'd
But was an aceeptabl guest
So Morabec, and so the prince,
Tho' not a man of consequence,
As from his equipage and dress,
A footman might with reason guess ;
Yet readily admittance got,
And to my lord himfelfwas brought.
My lord him welcom'd to the house,
Zeyn in return made proper bows;
Inform'd his lordship of his name,
And that he from Balfora came,
And was the only son and heir,
Of him who last was monarch there.
Here Morabec, with accents broken,
" Produce, young gentleman, a token
" Whose evidence dired and fair
" Will prove you such a son and heir 3
" That monarch long did I attend,
" At once a servant and a friend.
'' 'Tis years, now more than twenty two;
" Since with permission I withdrew
" To this my much-lov'd native land,
" Where wealth and honours I've attain'd ;
" But neither change of state or place
" His dear rememb'rance cou'd efface:
'' To me 'twou'd be consummate bliss
" To fee and serve a son of his.
" But when I left the royal pair
They had no profpeft of an heir."
[To be continued.]

Last night run away from the

SMALL-POX;
TOBIAS and Oliver, continue the practice of
inoculating for the Small-Pox as usual,
without the use of Mercury, or any preparation
thereof, in Filkintown, Great Nine Partners,
Dutches County; they have inoculated numbers
within a few years, with the Greatest success,
which has encouraged them this last Summer to
build 4 house for that purpose, and have it in good
order for the reception and accommodation of gen
tlemen and ladies that please to honour them with
r ,ft° m ; they generally discharge their pa
tients in fifteen or twenty days from the time they
are inoculated; and they are inoculated as soon
as they come, and kept in said Tobias's dwelling
house until the eruptive fever comes on, which ma
ny that follow the practice do not, and their pa
tients by going into the hofpi'tal as soon as they are
inoculatied for want of fufficient room take it the
natural way, none that they have had the care of
ever complain of abfeefes under their arms, or pains
in their bones, as many of those do that have used
the mercurial Method.
N. B. The whole expence for one person is only
