five feet four inches high, and between thirty-five and
forty years of age; has lately had his right arm broke,
and when he went away carried it in a fling; he is by
no means fond of rum, but will drink cyder; and as

about nine miles below Dover, on Delaware, and has
a wife thereabout, he may possibly talk of that place:

coarse cloth coat and waist-coat lined with green baiz,
and trousers of the fame, a wool hat, and good flioes
tied with Brings, but possibly may change his dress,

is intending for East-Jersey, and possibly New-York,

on his way thither : Whosoever secures said negro in

receive the above reward, and all reasonable charges,
paid by'

I Envy not the proud their wealth,
Their equipage and state ;
Give me but innocence and health,
I ask not to be great.
I in a sweet retirement find
A joy unknown to kings ;
For fceptres to a virtuous mind
Seem vain and empty things.
Great Cincinnati at his plough
With brighter luftre (hone,

Tho' seated on a throne.
Tumultuous days, and reliefs nights,
Ambition ever knows;
A stranger to the calm delights
Of study and repose.
Then free from envy, care, and ftrife,
Keep me, ye pow'rs divine;
And pleas'd, when ye demand my life,
May I that life resign.
