A SONG.
From POSS—Translated by "Beresfords
JBeNEATH a poplar's friendly shadow,
Beside a rushy meer,
Young Fanny fat, all blithe and blooming,
And kni| unvex'd with care,
And while (he knit she sung so sweet,
A ballad 1 (hall ne'er forget.
When idly o'er themedow w^nd'ring.
To lure the finny train ;
Conceal'd beneath the alder bushes, ,'
1 heard dear Fanny's strain.
My useless angle down I laid,
And foft approach'd the blushing maid,
" Why all alone ?—(ball 1 intrude me ?
" Fresh breathes the zephyr here."
"Good swain" (he cries," I've just been straying ,
i ''Along this Glassy meer,l
' But now the fun afeenda the iky,
" And to the cooling fbade I fly."
I fat me down and fooir foft tremors
My listless limbs invade,
And Fanny's foot so neat and fhapclf,
By mine was elofefy laid :
And Rretch'd upon the flow'ry green.
Her taper ancle too was seen.
We trembl'd like too aspen branches,
And neither knew for why;
We talk'd of corn, and kine, and weather ;
Then ceas'd and 'gain to sigh :^
And lift'ned to the lapwing's drain,
And heard the bittern loud complain.
Now bolder grown, her work I tangled,
I ftolc her yarn away:
fend she with knitting pins assailing.
Provok'd the am'rous fray :
'Till quite incens'd in playful spite,
She fhew'd her teeth, and vow'd she'd bite.
But fee I cri'd, the fun's beams darting,
Across the quiv'ring spray ;
They paint thy lip and tinge thy dimples
With purest, sweetest ray :
O'er ev'ry charm his glorious beam,
As when he guilds the placid flream,
She fmil'd ;—her bosom gently flutter'd,
And heav'd a Aisled sigh;
I Hole a kiss and swore to love her :
She blulb 'd in kind reply,
And when 1 break my plighted vow,
The confeious fl ream (hall cease to flow ?

O
HE way to be happy, is to look down on
those who fuffer, and not upen those who (hine
\ in the world — The comparison then would be
so much in our favor, that we should cease to
JI complain. So far should we be from repining
at the unequal didributions of fortune, that we
should fit down contented with our own lot,
and be happy with the blessings we enjoy—
, Our pride would be humbled, and our peevish
/ nefs turned into pity, our murmuring* would
be nufhed at the fight of others misery. A little
roafon and common sense would point out to us
the abfuruity of our pursuits, and prove how
dangerous it is to follow the deceitful track —
How happy then might people live, and what
a figure might they make in the eyes of the
world, were they to manage the Ibe ality of
fortune with common sense, and leain io de
spise the fuperfluities of it ; hum a want of this,
springs all the unhappiness of this life, and from
a careful observance of it, proceeds every fatis
fadion we can wish to obtain,
'M E D Y-No}:'
/\NE of the Paris Journals proposes as a re-
Umedy for duelling, that the nan who kills
his antagonist Should be obliged to attend the
funeral of the latter, that he may be compelled
to witness the grief, and hear the reproaches of
the fortawful widows, orphans and relations,
which a pitiful point of honor has produced.
This idea is not bad. It would indeed be a
cruel puniftiment for a man of true honor and
feeling, but it would only be matter of great
triumph to a ruffian. [Lox. pa,.]
O
A new fpecics of domestic depredation has
recently been difeovered in female servants about
to be married, cutting open their matters and
miftreffes' bed beds, and dealing out a conside
rable quantity of feathers, in order to make a
bridal bed for their own use : this is what thefc
ladies call feather ing their own nefls. ibid.
REMARK. —Prudence is the eye of virtue.
Baltimore, Ma, 16.
On Sunday morning, May i6r the prowling
tyrant death entered the Indian Queen Tavern,
.and seized on the body of Poor Old Spencer,
well known as a servant, and beloved by all for
his faithfulnefs and attention. But his foul,
(for negroes have fouls,) disdaining to continue
any longer the inhabitant of a body held in ser
vitude, fled from a country that boasts of free
dom, but still fandions slavery, to enjoy eternal
life, and liberty in the presence of a just and
merciful God. Thus have we to mourn the
lob of a man, whole conduA might justly be
held up, as an example of true honor, honesty
and faithfulnefs, and a convincing proof, that a
black skin may contain a good and upright
heart.
Since death has feiz'd this faithful Have,
I'll snatch his virtues from the grave,
And beg the printer will but give
A little Ipot where they may live.
0
Death's random darts with matchless force are
hurl'd,
And strike promifeuous on a finful world ;
Sens of the earth, to earth return we must,
And like our fathers, mingle with the dust !
But still the chriftian fees new Edens bloom,
With flowers immortal far beyond the tomb.

PROPOSALS•
For Printing by Sub/ctiptirtt,
LETTERS
I Addtefl'ed to a young Man on his
} firfl entrance into life, and adaptedto the
, circumfances of the prtjen: times.
By Mrs. WEST,
Author of Advantages of Education,
Tales of.he Times, Gossips Story,&c.
CONDITIONS.
1. All the Letters which the three
volumes of the Englifli edition contain,
excepting such as are merely local, will
be co nprized in one duodecimo volume
, of upwards of three hundred pages,
f- 2. The book will be printed with
handsome type and on good paper, and
will be delivered Subferibers neatly
bound and lettered at the moderate price
of one dollar, to non-Subicribets, one
collar and twenty-five cents.
" In an age in which the principles of
morality are relaxed, and the wildest and
most dangerous pafhous inflamed, by the
immoral publications of the New School,
the public are greatly indebted to those,
who undertake to oppof the torrent of
innovation, and vindicate the morals of
our anctflors and the doarines of our
religion. Publications, directed to vou:b,
warning them of the dangers to which
they are exposed, are peculiarly ufeful.
Mrs Weft, has been eminently distin
guished for her exertions in this refped.
Her novels are much celebrated ; they
have passed through many editions in
England ; contain pure morality, and
exhibit great knowledge of lire world.—
Her address to her fun is one of the bell
books that can be put into the hands of
the young men of this age. It is an ex
cellent antidote to the poisonous publi
cations, with which modern presses teem.
Tt exhibits a system of principles, which,
if adopted, will conduct to refpeaability
and happinels. It explodes the new
maxims of morality, and demonftra^s
their absurdity. It marksthe feveralin
ftances of the progressive depravity of
manners, which have imperceptibly cor
rupted the minds of youth, and affords
an excellent remedy againd their influ
ence. No parent, who has a fin, in
whole welfare he is interested, ro Guar
dian, who has a warm, whom he does not
with corrupted, should fail to place this
excellent book in their hands. In it, in.
(bunion and amufi ment are blended ;
and its leflons arc wbolefome, and well
calculated to render th< heart amiable &
the life upright of thofe,who poufe them.'

AT this leafon of the year,
when, in crowded Cities, and ir
regular and various modes of living, con
stitute an almoft^univerfal predisposition
to " Bilious, Inflamatory and YELLOW,
Malignant Fevers ;" It would greatly
mitigate the prevalence of Epidemical cr
Sporadic cases of fever, if the citizens
would generally attend to their healths
by the frequent use of mild Bilious pur
gatives, and avoid all those circumflances
which excite pre^ifpofition into dikale,
such as intemperance, excessive fatigue,
exposure to alternate heats and colds &c.
Accordingly the best medicine ever yet

ed in all the various cities and towns in
the United States where Yellow Fever
has prevailed, is

Dod. S. H. P. Lee,
DEAR SIR,
Having a very great opinion of your Bilious
Pills, and experienced their good effects in my
family for four year's pall ; and observing with
much anxiety the annual return of the Bilious
'TeU&w Fevers, in many of our large towns, and
believing that your pills are the best remedy for
preventing and curing those deftru&ive dileafes
of any—l hereby hand you a short statement of
my own case, which I request you to make pub
lic for the benefit of mankind :- On the firft
October, 1,98,1 was attacked in my < ffi_e with
the Yellow Fever, then raging very violently in
thiscity — having left my journeyman with the
fever, and my family being about two miles out
of town, and finding my situation very critical,
I immediately left town to join my family; and
took with me a box of your " New-London Bilious
Pills ;" and not being regularly attended by
any physician, I was under the neceflity of be
coming my own dodor. ' My fever raging
very rapidly, I began with the use of your Pills,
and soon found relief : —Being thereby encour
aged I continued in the use of them until I re
covered, and have net the lead doubt but they
were the means of fating my life. My vile
also was attacked on leaving town, but Icon re->
covered after the use of them. I have ever kept
them in my family since, and always (ball, as
being the bed domeflic physic for mod of the
complaints that occur.
1 am your obedient servant,
