Strange Feelings.
—c—
NEAR yonder cot upon the moor,
Whose grey smoke winds in many a curl ;
1 met this mi.n a lovely girl,
Knitting beside the cottage door.
With many a modilh damsel oft,
I've Iquander'd foolifhly my time,
Play'd with their hands and Checks so foft,
Or hitch'd them up in many a rhyme,
But when I turn'd to go away,
My bosom felt no tickling pain,
And fcarccly did I hear them fay,
I'd thank you, fir, to call again.
But when 1 saw this lass so fair,
Her floating eye so blue and round,
Its luftre I could no more bear,
But bafhful look'd upon the ground.
My jealous pride then took alarm,
Face her, it wbifpet'd o'er and o'er,
Look up. (he cannot do thee harm,
bid'll thou ne'er fee a girl before,
Reus'd from the dream, I rais'd ray hat
And thought fume civil thing to fay ;
I look'd, my heart went pit a pat,
And glad was 1 to get away.
Yet tho' 1 hurried from her fight,
Roam wherefo'er my foot steps will.
That lull blue eye, that face so bright,
Will haunt me like a fpe&re Rill.

To the humane benevolent Citi
zens of the Commercial Cities
and Seaports, and of the Interi
or of the United States.
THE refpedful address of tLeCom
mittee of the town of Ports
mouth in the State of New-Hampshire,
in behalf of the town.
The duty we owe to our Conßituents,
the citizens of this desolated town im
pels us to lay before you,in general and
concise terms,its present fuhering ft*^
The late terrible fire with which Di
vine Providence has visited us, in a
view of all circumstances, is believed
to be ; without a parallel, in our com
mon country.—This town retarded in
its early growth by many causes seem
ed beginning to overcome those obsta
cles, when the revolutionary war, by
its necessary effeds, nearly annihilated
its former & principal branches of com
merce, —dt was just enlarging from this
Bate ; its Trade began to revive and
increase, and particularly in the central
part of the town; where great exertions
were made, and much money laid out
to render it commodious for the pur
pose ; and even to cmbellilh it.
This fair and beautiful part cf the
town, has in one ffiort day, become a
heap of allies & rubbilh ; exhibiting such
3 feene of devaluation and ruin, as gives
frelh pain at every new view.
The nun,bet and value of the Greets totally,
or in a great measure defttoytd—the number of
inhabitants now expofcd to (offerings and hard
ships, beyond the relief tendered by their fym
parcizing neighbors —The aged and infirm,
widows and orphans, unhoufed in mid-winter—
The flagcACton of bufintfs, excepting the labor,
(patiently submitted to, and going on) of rear
ing or fitting up (belters for persons and proper
ty rescued ndm the flames--the great deflruc
tion of books, accounts and papers, of very great
value— the inability of the inhabitants of the
town to preserve, without affiflance, its trade
with the interior, ready to fly off, in many di
re& OPS —and finally the damages confcqtential
to such a Rate of ruin, which though they may
be conceived, bafle all &fcription and calcula
tion. —All concur to plead powerfully with the
opulent and the prosperous; indeed with all in
a comfortable date, who fcel thtnifclvesexpofed
to like calamities, and that they may need like
affiQance fromjympatbizing friends and coun
trymen. — It is from perfaps in prosperity or
easy circumstances, that relief it peculiarly de
fined and foliated. But injustice would be done
to our own feelings, to those of our fuff, nog
friends and neighbors, and co those of oar be
nevo^nt fellow-citizens in the Union,,did we
not declare that the fmMleft donations which
may be made by the compa ffionare of every elafs,
will he gratefully received, and with all others,
faithfully appropriated — This town has cheer
fully had a fellow feeling on like calamities tak
ing place in diGant parts of the union, and has
no doubt of experiencing the sympathy it feels
bound to fbew.
