An O D E.
Written a few Weeks before the late Peace.
Recitative.
LOUD howl'd the voice of all-deftrudive War,
And desolation swept th' enfanguin'd plain ;
Stern vengeance mounted on his crimson car,
And drove rcgardlefs over heaps of slain.
In vain did mercy stretch the tender hand,
And kneeling innocence in vain implor'd;
The giant Terror, led the cruel band,
And gave a keener edge to ev'ry sword.
Far from the scene dejeded Pity flew,
The tear still trembling in her glift'ning eye :
So on the vi'let shines the morning dew,
Before exhal'd into its native iky.
The lovely Mira's angel form the wore,
The sprightly look alone exchang'd to woe ;
..crofs her arm the plaintive lute the bore,
And thus |he bade the moving song to flow;
A I R.
Fairest, fofteft child of heav'n,
Peace! Oh peace! again return ;
Close the wounds the sword has giv'n,
And bid sorrow cease to mourn :
Lead the woe-worn child of anguilh
From the dreary cypress gloom ;
Bid him cease at length to languid
O'er the unremitting tomb.
From yon flarry iky descending,
Here come raise thy hallow'd shrine,
At the bloodless RruCture bending,
Freedom's Votaries shall be thine !
There the hardy soldier bowing,
Shall present the broken spear,
And the sword of honour shewing,
Wet the blade with pity's tear.

TO BE SOL D,
NINE thousand acres of land, situate on the river
Lachawaxen, about ten miles from Delaware ri
ver, and about one hundred miles from Trenton-Land
ing, to which large boats and rafts do commonly run
from Lachawaxen in two or three days. On this tract
there is a great quantity of white and yellow pines of
every size, from an eighty feet mast to the fizc of a spar;
the pines are Rraight and thrifty, and are equal to any
on the Delaware for mails, spars or boards. It is ac
commodated with four miilfeats, on which sawmills
may be erected to great advantage—and the whole traft
may be properly divided in two equal parts, to each of
which there would be three hundred acres of excellent
meadow ground, an hundred acres of which are cleared,
and produces wild grass in abundance. From the mills,
when built, rafts, from twenty to thirty thousand feet
of boards in each, may be sent down these rivers to
Philadelphia.
Time will be given for payment of part of the pur
chase money, and the remainder will be taken in loan
office certificates. Apply to Michael Hillegas, Esquire,
Reuben Haines or Richard Wells, in Philadelphia, or
to the fubferiber at Trenton.
The inland navigation of the Delaware has been so
little attended to for several years past, that at present
it is imperfectly known to many, who, if they were ac
quainted with its advantages, would suddenly reap pro
fits that in future cannot be obtained without a great
increase of their capital: I have therefore subjoined an
estimate of the expences for which a sawmill, with four
saws, may be carried on on the above estate.
CUTTING the logs, £.O 2 6
Hauling do. for five years, to
keep four saws cutting 250 days
in each year, - 050
The sawyer, the fame as is general
ly given in the counties of Bur
lington and Gloucester, - 076
Manager's wages, and rum occafi
onaliy, - - 0 50
Rafting, and every contingent
charge included, to Philadelphia,
and delivering, - 100
4os p er m ,
N. B. If the boards are delivered
at Trenton-Landing, the expence
of rafting will not exceed 12/6 p. m.
I suppose four saws will cut 80c m.
feet per annum, and that when
delivered at Philadelphia they
will fell for £. 6 per m. 4800 0 9
Deduct 4ty~per m. firß coR, 1600 0 0
£. 3200 0 Q
I allow, in addition to this efli
mate, for accidents and charges
arising from delays, per an
num, - 500 0 0
Net profit gained per annum, £. 2700 0 0
IN the foregoing estimate no notice is taken of the
profits arising from rafts of malts from sixty to seventy
feet long, each Rick proportioned; nor olthe lingular
advantages gained by sawing deck-plank of forty-five
feet long: They will, I believe, readily fell for thirty
five shillings per hundred feet; and if reduced to board
measure, would be equal to seventeen shillings and six
pence per hundred; it is therefore evident, that deck
plank will produce a greater profit than boards—and
they may be rafted with as little trouble, and more
fafety, than masts or spars.
We find, at present, a ready market for boards and
fcantling at Trenton; and if they are of the firft qua
lity, they will generally tell for fix pounds per thou
sand ; but when the permanent feat of Congress is fixed
on the banks of the Delaware, may J not lay that the
demand for those articles will incieafe, and that the
prices will rife in proportion to the demand >
