A Phlorol —[on Mrs. Ws,.
Ivry temper is ardent and warm,
3 was bred on the mountain's rough .fide ;
The labour, that ftrengthen'd my arm,
With courage my bosom supp Td.
My virtues referable a foil
That boalts no improvement from are
The offspring of nature and toil,
They glow with full force in my heart.
I have met the keen wind of the north.
When it brought the thick empell of fpow,
1 have seen the fork'd 1 shining burd forth,
When the forcil has fkrunk from the blew.
To rescue my lambs and my &ep
The loud mountain torrent I've b avd:
It was clamorous, ftorrr.y and deep,
But the tremblers! happily fav'd.
, I have climb'd to the top of the cliff,
Whole summit bends far o'er the main.
From thence Iye look'd out for the ikiff,
Os the Fi&r,'Ernea:h me, in vain.
. . I have fail'd on the lake ir. my boat,
When the weft hath look'd duty ^^ red,
When the sea mew, with ominous note,
Seem'd to call to the feit of the dead.
From the hills the tcorr.i menacing howl'd, .
The firs thunl'ring fell down the ftccp;
O er the Iky dark els awfuily scowl d,
And horrible roar'd the vex d deep.
Mv v<ffel o'erwhclm'd in the ffiock
I rofeou the fair surge up-born ;
1 swam to the caves in the rock,
And waited the coming of morn.
There chill'd by the k co driving blast,
And drench'd by the picilefs rain,
The day has reliev'd mr at last,
But the sight never heard me complain,
I have pafs'd o'er the mountain,which frauds
Jes fu omit in regions divine,
When the moon, failing fwifr thro' the clouds
Tipp'd with Olver the arrowy pine.
Thus I meet the procession of death ;
ft pafs'd me in ihadowy glare;
Slow it mov'd to the valley beneath,
Then melted illusive io air.

The following very tin nlar tranfaCtion
actually occurred in a village, not many
miles ditteot from Button, A single gen
tleman, who had a considerable quantity
of fotcie, add who had been in the habit
of accomodating his neighbours with
loans of money, a few days since, bad re-j
ceived a payment to the amount of Soodls,
& lace in the evening was returningh me,
when he was adcufte^by a being, hose
external hab ineats, it seems, fuggefled
to his imagination tticexaA similitude of
the Devil ; and who boldly dem mded of
him, the sum ol 1003 Dollars. Terrified
at this abrupt and fearful interview, the
Gentleman told h in, he hfl not that ;
sum by him. The Grange personage re'
plied, that he knew "be had ir, arid that he
mufl let him have it immediately , the
gentleman then told him that he had but
eight hundred doll fs by him, tu! that if
he would give bm time he would pro
cure the remainder ot the sum he required.
The devil accordingly took his word, and
appointed the next ev 11111 g at the hour ot
ten to meet him at his own house, and
threatened, that unless he then fulfilled his
promise he would carr him off. At the
fame time enjoining the molt profound
fecrefy as to this, ano their future int r-
View. Not having the remainder of thel
money on hand, the gentleman was oblig
ed to borrow the deficiency. Tnennan
to whom he applied knowing bis circum
fiances, egprelfeo his surprise at the re
queit, particularly as it teemed to be of
the moil urgent nature ; and as the gen- ।
tlem^n appeared extremely agitated, andj
anxious. He accordingly desired to know
the reason of his application. The gentle
man replied it was of the utmolt confe
qnence, and that he should be raided for
ever unless "e coin'd procure t His triend
then told him he had the sum he Wanted,
but that he could accommodate him on
Do other condition; but that of knowing ;
the ute to which he would apply it., Inl
this nleditha, he wifely concluded, of two |
evils to choose the leatt, Supposing that if 1
the elf ntiai part of his engagement was
gunaudllY complied with,thedevil would
e civil enough to absolve him from the
promise of secrecy. He according!) in a
ver; ferrods manner, diUlofcd the whole
tranfatt ons of the preceding evening.

This spacious Mansion i Icute
I is only two miles from Portsmouth l'a
rade by land, and but one third of that
diftauce by Water. It is finifhed in a
Ryle of superior excellence, and has a
commanding view of the Ocean and Har
bour from the Half, and the adjacent
country from the fouth and weft —,and
offers a fine retreat for the Man of Afflu
ence in the warmer months of fumme^
or a lucrative one to the Country Gerri
tieman who would make Agriculture his
purfuir.
It is surrounded by ico arres of
mowing, tillage, and paflure LAND;
two excellent Orchards, well flocked with
trees yielding the Gneft flavoured apples,
equal to those brought fr>m the foutber,
markets; an extensive Kitchen Garden,
producing a great abundance of vegeta
bles, and a rich variety of the choicest
fruits ; & beautiful Fl >wer.Gardens con
taining the mofi delicate vines, flirubs
and flowers. The land enclof cl wi # h

to the Hopfe is a good Wharf with
convenient fiores thereon; a fine large
Stable ; _Co ch-House; Cyder House;
Waffi-Houfe; Wood-Houle, and other
convenient out-buildings, with a pump
and well of excellent water—The land is
now under high cultivation, and may oc
casionally be enriched with great tale from
the large beds of mufi les around the
shore. The lovers of Angling may be
gratified as the waters around the beach
and wharf abound with small fill).
„From the excellence of the fruits
and the facility with which they are rear
ed, no doubt can be entertained but that
with proper management it might nearly
supply the Portfmowh market, an objeft
of importance when it is known how lit
tle attention is paid by the Newhampfoire
Farmers to the cultivation of trees and
vines. The ftru&ure of tte House is
fanciful, and being built for the retreat of
opulence, no pains has be^n spared in
