122 asylums for the indigent, 17 asylums for
fck and lame, I 3 dispensaries and 704 friendly
societies. Charity distributed 7j©ocol. per
annum. This is a pleasing account, but the fol

of sorrow and pity. There are about 2500 per
sons committed for tiial in one year ; annual
depredations amount to £,2,100,00® ; 18 pri
tons, 5204 aleboufes within the bills of mortali
ty. Amount of coins counterfeited £.200,000

MAGNANIMITY.
A model of a new invention, calcu
lated to facilitate the passage of Boats
and small vessels through the water, in
calm or rough weather, by the steam
engine, windlas or the hand, on a very
simple plan, by Major Clairborne, of
the City of Washington, who has ob
tained a patent for the fame, may be
seen at the Portsmouth Bookstore.

NATIONAL MONUMENT.
Subferiptions to the National Mon
bMENT to Washington, will be re
ceived at Messrs. Treadwell's, and
at Messrs Peirce's Bookflores, Portf
mouth.' The names and sums received
will be regifered in a book kept by the
Cashier of the Bank of Newhampthire,
fubjefl to the order of the Principal
Trtttes named in the general fubferip
tion plan for the United States, pnb-
Med in the Oracle of this day.
'* 71 K Y health is continually upon the
IV decline, and the firings of life are
HI relaxing. My age is removed, and de
parted from near a Shepherd' $ tent. Medi
cine is baffled ; and my phyferan, Dr.
Stonehoufe, cube is a dear friend to bis pa
tient, and a lover of the Lord Jefes,pities,
but cannot succor me.
" Slow I apprehend myfelf near the close
of life, and sand, as it were, on the brink
es the grave, with eternity full in my view,
perhaps my dear friend would be willing to
know my sentiments in this awful Jituation;
at fueb a juncture the mind is meft unpre
judiced, and the judgment not so liable to
be dazzled by. the glitter of worldly objefls.
The answer of Pores the Indian King, when
taken prisoner, and brought before Alexander,
fob been the frequent fubje& of historical eulo
g,-~ When sliced by his conqucrer, how he ex
peaed to be treated, he replied with a dignity,
ennobled hr distress, " Like a King."
'But perhaps in this and various other exam
ples that tiA've been adduced from ancient and
modern history, of great faymg<, none surpass
that of a Member of the American Congress, in
our lite revolutionary war. When Lord Car-
Me, Mr. Eden and Governor "Johnson, came
to this country, in the year 1778, as Commif
floners to accommodate the differences between
Great Britain and the United States, they em
ployed an American lady to make secret over
tures to several of theteading Members of Con
gress. To General Reed she was autherifed to
promise the sum of £ 10,000 ftcrling and the
best office in this totinn'y in his majefly's gift,
on condition of hts erecting his talent, and in
fluence in bringing about a reconciliation be
tween the contending parties-— His reply to this
proposition is equal perhaps to any thing on re
cord —" Madam," said he " I am not worth
purchasing, but such as I am, the King cf Eng
jand is not rich enough to do it."

Woo seldom minded much the field, tar.
But always, with him whatfoe'er the matter,
Prefcrib 'd a plenteous dose of sea salt water,
" iffiing for once to have a cruize on Chore,
A friend, perhaps, to visit, one or more;
In going down the : vrfc!'s lofty fide.
He got a flip, and plung'd into the tide <
On deck the captain flrutting to and fro.
Heard the loud fplaffi and buttle down below ;
And calling, in a (harp imperious tone,
Defir'd to know what fun was going on.
" Only fir,' 'cried a tar who lov'd ajeft,
" The dolor's dipt into his mefrine cb&"
" I have been too fond of reading ever,
thing valuable and elegant that has been
penned in our language, and been peculiar
ly charmed with the historians, orators,
and poets of antiquity ; but were Ito re
pew my fludies, I would take leave of those
accomplished trifa ; I would rejign the de
lights of modern wits, amusement and elo
quence, and devote my attention to the
Scriptures oj truth. I would ft with
much greater afliduity at my Divine Maf

Jffus Cbrijl, and him crucified."
An attorney lately attempted to quiz a Coun

Fried," it will hold an, freedom—but ,ure.

IT has been an invariable rule
with the fubferiber to call on his
friends for settlement every fix months
until the last term: —when it was not
urged from a confaicration that the firft
of Odober would not,only corrpteat the
year but probably fini'fli his 'SbAnefs in
the prefect line.
He now withes to enforcette necessi
ty ofipayment from every idea that might
be naturally suggested to the reader's
mind. He feels grateful towards those
who have been punanal and aflures
them that he does not mean to point at
any but those who deserve it. He (hall
however bring forward a fenionable ad
