POETRY,
EPITAPH.
On an Indian Chief, .
Who expired at Pittsburgh, Dec 20tb, I^o2, on
•Lie "way to the fiat of Government, charged with
an important mission to the Pif lent of the U
tiled States.
lI ERE the poor Chief of fags experience lies,
Far from his country, and his wigwam dies;
Yet infidels (for such are many whites)
Refpedt his virtues, and his nation's rites ;
Entomb him near Ohio s rapid wave,
Where Grangers pensive, sorrow o'er his grave.
His gun and hatchet clad in fables deep,
His bow Rad at rows—all beside him sleep:
His beads and wampum—all his little store,
Rcpofe oblivious on the murm'ring shore !
Thus in the warrior's uniform well dreft,
Os venison, tinder-box, and steel pofseft,
He climbs on eagle wings the serial space,
Assumes new vigor and a fwifter cbace !

INTEMPERANCE.
For the Oracle.
Messrs. Treadwells.
INTEMPERANCE is so alarming an evil,
that every one, who feelsa concern for the
temporal and eternal welfare of his fellow crea
tures, must be distressed to observe ;:s preva-;
lence. ,<
It m^y be rendered inftrumentai of some good,
to republic m your paper, Dr.Rusa's “ Inquiry
hto the effetfs of Spirituous Liquors upon the hu
man body, and its influence upon the bappinefs of
Society.
" BY Spirit, I mean all those liquors which
areobtained by diftiliation from fermented juic
tt or substances of any kind. Theft liquors
were formerly used only in medicine. They
now constitute a principal part of the drinks of
many countries.
“ Since the introduction of spirituous liquors
into such general use, Physicians have remark
ed that a number of new diseases have appeared
. among us, and have described mapy new fymp
toyus as common to old diseases. Spirits in
their firft operation are ftimulawog upon toe
tyftem. They quicken the circulation of the
blood, and produce fomeheac in the body. Soon
afterward they become what is called fcdativc;
chat is they diminish the adion of the vital pow
ers, and thereby produce languor and weakbefs.
“ The effeas of spirituous liquors upon the
human body, are femetimes flow in their ap
pearance. A strong constitution efeccially if it
be assisted with conftanc and hard labor, will
counteract the destructive effects of spirits for
many years, but in general they produce the
following diseases—
, I. Afchiefs at the femacb, and vomiting in the
morning. This disorder is generally accompa
nied by a want of appetite lor breakfaft. It is
known by tremors in the hands, insomuch that
persons who labor under it, are hardly able to
lift a tea cup to their heads, till they have taken
a dose of some cordial liquor. In this disorder,
a peculiar paleness, with small red Breaks, ap
pear in the checks. The flefh of the face, at
the fame time, has a peculiar fulncfs and flab
binefs, which are very different from found and
healthy fat.
“2. An Vniverfal Dropsy. This disorder be
gins firft in the lower limbs, and gradually ex
tends itfelf throughout the whole body. I have
been told that the merchants in Charleston,
South Carolina, never trust the planters when
spirits have produced the firft symptoms of this
disorder upon them. It is very natural, to sup
pose chat industry and virtue have become ex
cinClin that man, whose legs and feet are fwell
@d, from the use of spirituous liquors.
" J ObJirußions of the liver. This disorder pro
duces other diseases, such as an inflamation,
which sometimes proves fuddeniy fatal—the
jaundice — and a cropfy in the belly.
" 4. Diabetes.
" 5 Pains in the ZmAaccompanied by a sense
of burning in th. palms of the hands, and soles
of the fee. This dheafe has sometimes been
called the Jamaica Rheumatism.
"6. Hoarfeneft ^ Cough. These complaints
predispose to fatal attacks of Pneumonia Notha.
" , The Epilepsy 8. Mudnefs. 9. Palsy, and
" 10. The Apoplexy, complete the groupe of
diseases produced by Spirituous hquprs.
“ I do not assert that thefd disorders are never
produced by any other causes, but I maintain
that spirituous liquors are the most frequent
causes of them, and when a precifpofition to
them is produced by other causes, they are ren
dered more certain and more dangerous by the
intemperate use of spirits.
To be continued.

A gentleman having appointed to meet his
friend on particular business, went to the hdufe
and knocked at the door, which was opened by
a servant girl—He informed her he wanted her
matter. " He is gone out Sir," fays (he. "Then
your miflrefs will do," said the gentleman,
" She," said the girl, " is gone out too." —"My
business is of coidequence," returned he, " is
your matter's son at home {"—" No Sir, re
turned the girl.' 1 “he is gone out.'' "That's
unlucky indeed." replied he, “ but perhaps it
may not be long before they return; I will flop

Barrington the Noted Pick-Pocket.
The celebrated. G. Barrington, who, having
always offended the law in this country, and at
last acted as high constable at Botany Bay, is
we hear, dead, leaving property worth izdool.
The circumflaneds cf hislife are well remember
edby many. He rfcaped transportation,for Deal
ing the Duke of Beaufort's Diamond George,at
St. James's on a biih day, because the Duke
felt the pull. It was Bolen but rhe ui& distinc
tion of the law said net privately. Afterwards
he was tried and tranfpprtcd, for dealing a gold
watch, ar Enfield races ; but that was privately
the owner did not feel the pull, —The George
was found on Barrington, and the watch was
not ; yet the nice diftindion of the law got the
better of positive evidence. He is now gone,
after having, in his latter years,' acted a good
part. His conduct was exemplary ;he applied
his former knowledge of the world to the im
provcDicnt of a country ;which may one day
equal in importance, and splendor, any that has
, yet exiled. [Load. pap.
