ON her naval force depending.
Let Colombia fleer her course;
When affronted, vengeance fending—
And defy i'ng every force.
Let us landsmen—without party,
Aft like brethren onthe flood,
To one cause alone be hearty— 1
And be that our COUNTRY^ GOOD.

MAXIMS.
THE drunkard and the glutton shall come
to poverty ; and drowsiness shall cover a
toan with rags.
Who hath woe ? who hath sorrow ? who
hath contention ? who hath babbling ? who
hath wounds without cause ? who hath red
ress of eyes ? They who tarry long at the
Wine : at t!ie last it will bite like a serpent, and
Ring like an adder.
Show me an habitual toper, and I will show
you the most foul and the most defpicible beast
®n earth.

Patent Washing ^ Bring
ing MACHINES.
WILLIAM MARSHALL, hereby
gives notice, that he has obtained
the idle eight, for the tow » of Portsmouth,
Ito th'e Rev. Ezra Weld's greatly improv
ed patent La-vat El, and newly dilcov
ered Wringer.
The LAVATER, which is the wan
ing machine, can be put into operation
by a lad of 12 years old, and is f<x,nd by
a&ual experiment, to waft )Clothes, with
• much greater expedition, and with less
injury to the clothes, than in the usual
way. It is so contrived, that the agita
tion of the water alone effectually does
the wafting.
The WRINGER, is so conftru&ed as
to press the waterfrom the cloths with
out the least injury, and is therefore pe
culiarly ufeful for Muslins and fine linen.
As the water is pressed out by turning a
screw, it is a very expeditious method of
wringing out clothes.
These machines are highly esteemed,
wherever they have been introduced, as
they greatly facilitateand expedite the fe
verc labor of wanting. The right is ea
gerly fought for in various parts of the
Country, and the machines will no doubt
eventually obtains very general use.
The expence of the L-.vater is eighteen
dollars, and that of the Wringer is fix
dollars. Either or both may be . had of
the proprietor.
Any one who wishes for further fatif
faainn, may try the experiment of one
of these machines, which the laid Mar.
dial! has on hand, gratis. —
