FELLOW CUSTOMERS!
g. To those of our J<//#gue#i Customers,
who have negleaed fettling their Newspaper
accounts in due time—we present afmall
extrad from
THE PROMPTER.
•Be— ^
ANY OTHER TIME WILL DO AS WILL.
TAKE special care of little frilling
accounts—they are like the old
serpent who deceived Eve, fly, insin
uating, tempting things. " How
much does it cost ?" it the question
whenever an article is to be purchas
ed. A Filling is the answer. O then
get it b, all means: A Filling is a
trifle. It is so, but " finds form the
mountains. Look to that 1 fay. The
whole evil is, that this (hilling is a tri
fle! A dollar! that is no trifle—l
can't afford a dollar—ver, well—a
dollar coofifti only of the small num
ber of fix (hillings, and when fig of
these little trifles, these Lilliputian
(hillings are gone—a dollar, that gi
gantic part of a man's efface, is gone.
Now therein order to b fib the
temptations of (pending (hillings—
fettle your accounts often—once a
year at leaft—for otherwise they will
swell neo an unmanageable size.—
Suppose three neighbors take a news
paper, io partnership—this mikes the
expense a trifle—Vei, good—this is
laudable—it is economical. But sup
pose you do not pay this trifle— How
are the printers, and poftriders, and
papermakers, to live? Look ye, my
friends- Merrimac river is a large
river—but this river is made up of
little springs that will run through a
gimblet hole. When you waik about
the fields, or traverse the woods, you
step over little brooks, and little gur
gling rills, and never think that you
are (topping over Merrimac river,—
But remember, if all these little rills
dry up, Merrimac river is gone. Just
so it is with Printers, with Merchants
and with the State Treasury. Every
(hilling is a little ri ||Q small stream
that runs into the poftrider's pocket
or the collector's purse—a number of
these little Breams thus united, make
a large stream, a like Souhegan and
Na(hut rivertthefe ftream# empty
into the printing-office or treasury,
where, they form Merrimac river,
and keep :he business going on. Now
follow nature—little rilli run perpetu
al!,. They murmur too, bur they
run, or the river dries up—they nev
er stop and fay, a, über time will do
at well.
From the Farmer's Chronicle.§
''HE,CUT# A FLASH."(
WHENEVER a young gentleman
under the title of a Buck, goes into a
ftraoge place, how man, immedisre
ly exclaim," he cuts a flam." Confid
er, ye austere moralists, for a moment;
why ought he to be envied this ex
cellence ? he has made it his tehole
business to acquire the name of fafy,
and consequently it is hit ALL.
When I fee a young into just 'enter
jog upon the stage of adion, without
having been previously inftru&ed in
the feience of human nature, or the
vicissitudes of chance that lie before
him $ I cotifider it my daty to lend
fc"*ffl^^^ ^,''v<^ &iW tew'" ,
him cay eilittanee, as 1 perfeaiy re
member, when I was young myfelf.
Any young Tyro in the art of
Buckifm, who is at a Infs, how he (hall
carry into efta bis undertakings,
may be assisted, if he attends to my
prescriptions and likewise affixed that
1 will give him directions, which will
enable him cocut a Hath. Nothing
;is more ftriaiy to be observed, than
the mode and quality of your drefe.
Fashion every garment, even theftuf
: sing of your cravat and the powdering
of your hair, according co the lateftl
modes in N. Y.— Note down the
leading phrafet of the tooft flaffiy
: buck in town-get a (mattering of &
bout three dead languages and two
live ones—get the art of mixing them
well together—Let the CT verbefabe
well committed $ so chat you can
fpetk with tongues memoriter—
Then feat yourself by the fide of
some young girl—and should you be
so unfortunate as not to convince her
that you cut a flaffi —turn to some a
ble politician in company, and give
him your opinion of the Treaty in
Latin. If he chance co not ender
ftand you and seems embarrassed, talk
half Greek and half English, then
you will have the lead of the conver
sation. By this time the young girl
will be half frightened co a fit—
Then walk two or three times acrofe
the floor with one hand in the pock
er, where you keep your money : If
it should unfortunately be a atil, so
as not tejisgte Sufficiently, let it acci
dentally ftkk co your fingers, when
you takeout your hand. By this meant
you will easily gain the afeendenc,
over her heart, and (he will exclaim
with rapture and astonishment that,
you cut a Hath. I (hall not mention
the several difficulties, you will have
to encounter, as they will be very
flight, in comparison with those that
attend the more rugged departments
of life, AH intricate problems and
abstruse or ufeful science muff be thor
oughly mifuoderftood $ left you get
the name of a fedeotary Rodent, who
of all others is firtheft from being a
fiafhy fellow. Should you be befec
by one of these scholastic pedants, &
should be unable to give him any di
rest answer, make bufinefa into anoth
er room and leave him with a degree
of contempt—and he will be compel
led to fay within himfelf, that fellow
cut# a slash. As these observations
are the productions of tong experi
ence and have proved to me a great
benefit, as a pole star to direct me
through the deceitful intrigues and
delufire windings of a twiftical gene
ration—l doubt not but if they (hall
come to the knowledge of my filthy
lucceffors, they will be able to form a
judgment led hazardous and with
much more propriety, than one whol
ly unassisted. I
Now Messrs. Printers, if you pub
lish this, and find) has been incre
mental of any go^, I (hall heartily ,
exult, and be encouraged to conclude,;
that my writings sooner or later, will

The Famous horse,
CALLED THE
WILD DEER,
TWILL Band it the stable of
V▼ the fubferiber this season, as usual.
It was reported, by some ill minded person,
left year, that said Horse was fold, and gone •
out of this part of the country ; J thiak it
probable that such a story may be in circular ^
tion at this time, as I have lately had some
offers for said Horfe—therefore I thought•
proper to give this public notice, to prevent
any body's being imposed upon, who live at
a distance from the fubferiber.
I think it unnecessary to fay
any thing in favor of said Horse—His works
will prove what he is.

HARVARD COLLEGE LOTTERY 1
FOURTH CLASS.
The Managers of Harvard College Lot
tery, desirous of affeaing the business, for
which they were appointed, with as few calls
on the generosity of the public, as potable ;
inform them, that from the extensive chan- ,
nels, in which the sales of the Tickets are
carrying on, they cannot, on this day, ascer
tain the state of them, with that precision
which i; necessary previous to drawing so
large a Class: That it being equally the in-i
tereft of the College, and the with of the
Managers, that this should be the last Class,
they do not confider themselves juftified in
proceeding with it immediatel,, under such
circumstances as might render it probable, r
that the whole Grant of the Government
would not be raised by it.
They therefore, request the patience of
Adventurers, in assigning a future time for
the drawing of the present Class § and in or.^
der that there ma, be no chance for a further
tall on their candor, by any other postpone-
Bent— The Managers assign Thursday, the
15th da, of September next; for that pur
pose ; obferviog however, that from the best
information they can procure of the a&ual
sales of the Tickets, a much earlier day will
hereafter be aligned : But the, pledge them
selves to the public—that no circurnftances 4
whatever, Shall create a further delay ; and
that they will pofaivel, commence drawing
on the da, now fixed upon.
