OH Time ! still urging to eternity,
In thy deep womb the world's vast actions lie ;
Thy hours still whirl us on in full career,
Day following day, and year succeeding year;
Old moments ending as the new ones rife,
For thy firft child, succession, never dies;
But all things human own thy sovereign pow'r,
Just live and die—a million in an hour.
Kings, empires, thrones, and nations fade away,
And others still succeed as they decay ;
Fair peace and horrid war still rule by turns,
With love and rage the world alternate burns ;
And thus the fame rotation shall be seen,
Till consummation shuts this earthly scene !
What then avails to invoke the sacred nine,
Or humbly bend us at the Mufe's shrine,
When we, together with our loftieft rhime,
Sink to oblivion at one blast of Time !

RAN away from this place, on Wednesday the 7th,
day of June, a negro man named Tom; he is a
strong, square built, well-set fellow, talks strong and
coarse, pretty forward, and easily made to laugh, about
five feet four inches high, and between thirty-five and
forty years of age; has lately had his right arm broke,
and when he went away carried it in a fling; he is by
no means fond of rum, but will drink cyder; and as
he is but just from Motherkill Mills, Kent county,
about nine miles below Dover, on Delaware, and has
a wife thereabout, he may possibly talk of that place:
Had on, when he went away, a light-coloured, short,
coarse cloth coat and waist-coat lined with green baiz,
and trousers of the fame, a wool hat, and good shoes
tied with firings, but possibly may change his dress,
as he had other clothes with him: It is supposed he
is intending for East-Jersey, and possibly New-York,
as he was seen about sixteen miles from Philadelphia
on his way thither: Whosoever secures said negro in
any gaol, so that his master may get him again, shall
receive the above reward, and all reasonable charges,
paid b,

American Blistered Steel,
Warranted equal in quality to the best steel imported
from Europe, and to be fold by
John Nancarrow and White Matlack,
Under the FIRM of
NANCARROW and MATLACK,

wharf, and in Second-street, between Race and

east corner of Race-street, at Casper Singer and Sons

Arch-street, between Front and Second-streets ; and

The great encouragement given the said John Nan
carrow, by the rapid sale of the steel he has made,
previous to and during the late war, has induced the
said Nancarrow and Matlack to assure the publick,
that as they intend to carry on the steel manufactory
in an extensive and spirited manner, they are deter
mined to spare no pains to render their steel worthy
the character given it.
