And smile on the Design.

But soon we hope, the Western Galea
Will fan th’ infefted Air,
Blow off' those Vermin from our Coasts,
And leave our Country clear.
And can there be such monstrous Births,
In this prolific Clime,
Who dare announce, that to defend
Our Freedom is a Crime ?
The Subject tunes csleftial Lyres,
, On all th’ xthcrial Plains,
Where Tyrant-Slaves are banifli’d---where
Immortal Freedom reigns.
Swarm out, ye venal Tribe of Slaves !
And Locust-like devour ;---
A bluft’ring East Wind brought you here-.
To our late peaceful Shore.
A LIBERTY SONG.
COME let us join the glorious Train,
Engag’d in Freedom’s Cause 1
Be loyal to Great-Britain’s King,
And true to Nature’s Laws.
Freedom I the noblest Gift, that Heav’n
Could give, or we receive :
Without it. Gold’s insolvent-—nay,
’Two aid be a Curse to live 1
Then let us prize the sacred Gift,
To worthless Mortals giv’n
Whilst virtuous Freedom is our Choice,
This Earth’s akin to Heav’n.
Britain, (the Wonder of the World !)
We honor and revere ;
Because fair Freedom’s Banner stood
Long Time in Triumph there.
Go, cringing Fav’rites 1 grasp at Pow’r,
And bow the servile Knee :
Go, Pimps and Minions 1 lick their Dull—
We can, and will be Free.
Your worthless Names, (though titled o’er)
To Ages yet unborn,
Will stand in Front of the <UrkLift
Of universal Scorn.
Then, farewel all the Joys of Life-6
All facial Bliss, adieu 1
All foft Connections, mingling Hearts,
There’s left no Room for you.
Go, Nature’s fell Abortion I go,
And boast your loyal Breast ;
Spill half your injur’d Country’s Blood,
In Hopes to taint the Rest.
But, as ftieonce from antient Rome,
Her hovering Pinions spread
So now, with Britain, weary’d out.
Has o’er th’ Atlantic fled.
Here, let us honor, cherifti, love,
And hold the charming Guest ;
Proclaim her Sov’reign of our Hearts-,
And clasp her to our Breast.
And ftiould we, impious 1 drive her hence,
Nor mind the Warning giv’n ;
An Exile from the World lire’ll fly.
Up to her native Heav’n.
Freedom I (fAir Virtue’s other Name)
Herefets her shining Feet
A Fugitive from foreign Courts,
Makes this her last Retreat.

SAMUEL WESCOTE,
Farmington Sept, ^th'
This is to notify the Public,-
That, whereas Samuel Gridley hath seen cause tp
post me the fubforiber, and forbid any pcrfcn’s har
bouring or entertaining me, and further, has tried
to ruin my Charafter, by faying that I have spent
his Estate, and refufed to bed and board with him,
therefore 1 think it my duty t® vindicate my cha
racter, and lay the truth open to the public, by
giving a ffiort account of his conduft towards me
since marriage. In the firft place, when I took him
into my house, J had a family of three children,
who were, able to d.o business; within three months
he began to find fault with my children, which I
put out for the fake of peace; .after which he lived
with me abbot seven months, and then left my
house about eight month's, without giving aiiy
notice whbn or where he was going ; he then re->
turned home again with the fame uneasy temper
as before; but soon left home again, and that was
his manner of life for five or fix years, during which
time I was obliged to provide for myfelf by work
ing at day labour; nor did he ever bring any of
his interest for my support, and flnee, he leafed
out my thirds of the house, and has taken a family
into it, and locked me obt, and told me to be miff
ing ; for which, and other reasons, I am afraid to
live with him; but shall submit to the judgment
of the impartial public, whether it be my duty to
live with my husband as fueh, in continual fear of
my life. He has likewise taken from me my bed
and clothes, and other valuables; whereby he has
disabled me from keeping house: And for want
. of my bed, I have lain many nights on the floor.

M l L A N, May 16.
T^^ ^°^ ow Eg account we received from Turin s
Two persons who were hunting lately in the
woods of Montafia, at three leagues distance frotn
the town of Afli, perceived a fort of animal, seem
ingly on four legs, but they could not exaftly tell
what it was, at the distance they were : One of the
hunters was going t® flicot it, but the other, ima
gining he diicovered fomethifig human about it,
advanced, and found it to be a boy about twelve
years old. He did not seem the least frightened
when taken by the hand and fuffered himfelf to be
condufted to Cunic, a village of Mon tfarat. The
report of this difeoyery being spread abroad, a vVo
man came and claimed the child; alledging, that
about the year 1762 flie was brought to bed of a
male child, whom Ihe put to nurse with a woman ia
the neighbourhood ; the child disappeared when a
bout three years old, and was never beard of since.
The woman thinks ihe remembers some particular
marks on her child, which foe finds on this, and ha*
adopted it for her own. The child would not at
firft cat the food that was given it, but eagerly de
voured grass, which is mixed with earth. The phy
sician who attends ths boy, is endeavouring tp ac»
custom it to its natural food. He has already loft
that ferocity which he had when in the woods. They
clothed him, which he did not seem averse to. When
he has learnt to speak, it will no doubt ba eL\ertaiiu
ing to hear the account of his wild life, and his ideas
of the Ample natural state from which he has just
been taken.
