A MORNING HYMN.
AW A KE, my foul, from foft repose,
And give the tributary praise
To him from whom each blessing flows,
Whokeeps thee lase in all thy ways.
An! did not God's paternal care
> Protect thee from impending harm,
How mould'd thou foun the tempter's snare,
And all his balefid arts disarm !
In vain, without the heav'nly guide,
Would all thy feeble efforts prove,
And ev'ry earthly joy fubiide,
Should he withdraw his wonted love !
Then why, my foul, doff thou neglect
To praise the heav'nly Father's name !
Nor treat that goodness with reaped
From whom thy ev'ry comfort came!
I) ,e d not the fun, which now is rose,
And gilds the Iky with orient gold,
Thy drinker's wond'rous love disclose,
And'his omnipotence unfold! •
L ink round the world's terraqn'ous ball
And view the wonders of his hand ;
Then think for thee He made them all,
And let that thought thy praise command.
Shall man, unworthy man, enjoy
The mighty bindings they afford,
And n<A his fhort-liv'd hours employ
In songs of praise to God, the Lord !
Forbid it, heav'n's almighty pow'r,
That we should thus ungrateful prove;
Who ev'ry day—nay, ev'ry hour---
Receive frelh indances or love?

ryHl: Committee of observation and cor
~"° relpondence tor the county of Somerset,
in the Province of New-JerKy, at their meet
in at Hilhborough, 'on Wednesday the 14th ult.
took into their confederation the great impor
tance of promoting manufactures in America at
this time. They were speedily convinced of
the happy situation of the county of Somerset
for an inland trade, and were informed from
every quarter, of the spirited endeavours of
particular persons to pro note manufactures of
different kinds. After mature deliberation on
wliat it was their duty and in their pov^r to
do, to continue and improve the disposition now
so generally prevailing they fixed upon this
principle,--'--] hat whatever will make it eaty
for eve;y person, old or young, rich or poor, to
do-a little, and immediately to turn that little
to his own advantage as well as throw it into
the public service, mutt have the mod imme
diate and powerful influence. With this view
they determined that there should he fixed mar-,
kets indifferent parts of this county, ter the
materials and instruments of manufactures in
general, but particularly the linen and woollen,
and for goods in every itage of their progress:
Iherefore the public may expect at the places
and times under written, markets for wool,
woollen yarn, cloth, fine and coarse wool cards;
and for flax rough and drolled, linen yarn in
any quantity, cloth green and whitened, also
reeds and mounting for looms, wheels, reels,
&c. I hefe market days will also be very pro
per times for meeting, for persons of substance
to give out, and poor people to receive flax for
'pinning. # All the gentlemen concerned in pro-,
jecting this nieJure, and .many others, will
enccirage.it to the utmost or their power, by
buybig what they can turn to account, and
felling what they have to spare. The Commit
tee are also desirous that the reason and necefflty
of it should appear. - General industry cannot'
be produced in. any other way ; many poor
people (old and young) would, spin a little if
they knew where to turn it into ready money
at the end of a week or a month, but they have
neither stock to purchase the materials, nor are
they able to wait the time, nor find the .hands
and abidance necessary to bring it to a fabrick
of any conference ; and on the other hahd,
many persons of bet <• Nation would do a great'
deal if they could readily be supplied with such
materials or work, as they fland iu need of to
compleat what they have. The laudable and
generous undertakings by fubfeription, to carry
on manufactures of any particular branch are
proper for cities and not for the country ; nor
are they by any means so free from rift as the
method here proposed, in which indeed there
is neither rux noi expence, but a door opened
for every one to turn his own or family's indus
try to his own immediate or .greater gain. It
is also supposed. that this scheme, it carried
into execution, will be an advantage to the
large manufactories, and thev. to the' country.
If plenty and variety are produced, purchasers
will come from a considerable didance. It is
^therefore earnestly requeued and hoped, that
public spirited persons, will give encourage
ment to this plan at firft, particularly by bring
ing to sale whatever they can spare, because
it is supposed there will be many more
buyers than fellers, in the present state of
things. After it is begun there is little doubt,
that common interest will keep it up, and per
haps invite others to imitate it.
In prosecution of this plan, a market is to
be held for the Western precinct, at Princeton ;
and tor Bedminfter, at Pluckimin ; being di^
tant parts of the county, on the firft Tuefdav
of March next ; and in like manner on the tint
Tuesday of every month. For Bernard's town,
at John Boylan's; and for the Eattern precinfft
at James Whitlock's ; the second Tuesday iA
March, and so on monthly. For Bridgewater
at Bound-Brook, on the third TuefdayofMarch
and so on monthly. And,far HiU&ough, at
Somerset Court House, the fourth Tuesday in
Mat cli; and to on monthly, as above. By
this means there will be a market, with few
exceptions, every week in the year, in fame
part of this extensive county.
The above is published by order of the
Committee.
