Pembrook and Hastings, situate on the wed branch

ways so much of the ffiares of such delinquent pro
prietors will be fold as is fufficient to pay such taxes;

Wm. Judd, Clerk.
And whereas application hath
been raade to me by the agents of the several towns
located on the said weft branch, desiring that a meet
ing of the agents for such towns might soon be held
at Hartford. These are to desire the proprietors of
all such located towns, by themselves or agents, to
meet at Hartford, on the second Wednesday of Fe
bruary next, to point out and agree upon the best
measures for fettling the fame early next spring
and the Printers in New-London and New-Haven
are especially desired to insert this advertisement in
their refpedive papers, which will doubtless oblige
many of their customers who are interested in the
immediate settlement of such towns.

The Story of Zeyn Alasman Prince ^BalsorA.
Continued.
THEN Zeyn proceeded to unfold
The story of the pots of gold,
And diamond statues, nor forgot
The lines upon the satin wrote :
When, loft in pleasure and furprize,
Old Morabec, with streaming eyes,
" Prince this recital fully proves
" Your birth, and every doubt removes ;
“ Convinc'd and overjoy'd I own
" You for my royal mailer's son.
" Me and my all to you I yeild
(Submissive as he spoke he kneel'd)
“ Your fire much, but not freedom gave,
" And Icontinue still a Have."
Here interrupting Zeyn rejoin'd,
" Good Morabec you're over kind ;
'' Can you imagine here I came,
" Your person or effeds to claim.
" Because my father had forgot
" To make you free, unworthy thought!
" I the ninth statue wou'd possess;
" Inform me in what place it is,
" Inftrufl me how to gain it soon
" I crave that and no other boon."
" Prince said the slave no easy talk
" 'Tis to accomplish what you ask:
" I know what bleft retreats conceal
“ That statue without parallel,
" But Difficulty and dismay,
" And Death himfelf, are in the way,
'Tis true, that to assist us stand
" In readiness, a matchiefs band;
" Silence, old Wisdom's favourite child,
" And Complaisance, with afped mild;
• " Firm Fortitude, with eagle eye,
•' And Patience, looking to the sky;
" But after all, 'tis hard to tell,
" Whether we'll perish or prevail.
“ Then hearken,, prince, to my advice,
" Forsake the dangerous enterprize;
-' Contented to your home return,
“ Nor for aje-ne-fcai-quoi burn :
“ Balfora's fertile plains obey
'• Your gentle tho' despotic sway;
" Your Subterraneous chambers hold
“ Inestimable heaps of gold;
" Return, enjoy th' exhauftles store,
" Nor tempt your fate by seeking more;
" Return, nor foolishly repine,
" Because eight statues are not nine,"
" Shall 1 by timorousness reftrain'd,
" Negled my fathers last command?
" (Exclaim'd the prince) good heav'n forbid,
" It were a kind of paricide.
'' This statue does the rest surpass,
" As far as they do common glass,
“ Hence whetted to the last degree,
“ My mad'ning curiosity;
" That statue has my mind ingroft,
" To every other passion loft,
" Nor grandeur's pomp, nor feepter'd power,
“ Nor wine, nor beauty's blooming flower,
“ Could it's impression banish ; I
“ That statue must obtain or die."
