The ROSE-BUD.
OBSERVE the rose-bud ere it blows,
While rhe dawn glimmers o'er the iky !
Oelcive its Silken I awes unfold,
As fond of day's majeflic eye!
At noon, more bold, in lulled bloom,
It Spreads a gale of facets around ;
A< evt it mourns the setting fun,
And Iheds its honours on the ground.
So beauty's balbhil bud appears,
So blufnes n the eyeof praise:
So ripens in the noon of life,
And wither'd so in age decays.
Time is the cank r-worm of youth,
# It bites rhe bkdfom as it grows,
It binds the fbw'r that blooms at full,
And rudely (beds the falling rose.
S-e, beauty, feel how love and joy
On youth's light pinions hade away;
How Swift the moments glide along,
And age advances with delay !
Now, beauty! crop the rose-bud now,
And catch the whence as it flies;
Let pleasure revel in its bloom,
Let time pohefs it when it dies.

Free-born Subject's Inheritance;
And whereas the late Committee of Safety of
this Colony, did thereupon, on the 27th day of
March, aforesaid, recommend it to the Com
mittees of the federal cities, counties, manors,
townffiips, precincts, and diflriffs in this colony,
forthwith tocaufe to bed.farmed alfperfonswiv
#in their refpe&ive diftrids, who were knov j
be difaffeded to the cause of America ; and a 4 . # >
all such persons as ihould refufe to tign the fol
lowing Association, viz.
" We, the Subferibers, inhabitants of
1'• in the county of and colony of New
-1 " York, do voluntarily and solemnly engage,
1" under all the ties held sacred among mankind,
; “at the rilk of our lives and fortunes, to defend
, “ by arms die United American Colonies, a
“ gainfl the hostile attempts of the British Sects
" and armies, until the, present unhappy con
“ troverty between the two countries shall be
" fettled."
And whereas it hath,been obj Red to the Did
, form of an association, that by obliging th - fub
feribers or associators, in such general and ex
profs terms, to defend the United Colonies -by
arms against the hostile attempts of the British
fleets and armies, it deprived them ofrhe rights
referred by the militia regulations, and imposed
on them the necessity of marching to the molt
dillant of the colonies whenever called upon.
Which conftruaion of the said association, how
ever nice and cafuiftical, is incontinent and fal
lacious ; it being manifeft that the militia re
gulations couid^y no rules of eonftruefion be
supposed to be repealed and abrogated by any
subtle implications drawn from the said associa
tion.
But as some of the friends to the American
caus e h . ave . been influenced by this objedion to
refute Signing the laid allociation, and 111 conse
quence thereof been disarmed; it hath become
expedient that the said association should be so
explained as to render it free from specious as
well as solid objections, and therefore,
Refolded unanimously, That nothing in th'e
said allociation contained, shall extend or be con
"''?,"? errand to deprive those who have sub
scribed it, ot any rights referred to them by the
I faid military regulations. And in the end that
all the freemen of this colony may associate for
the preservation of American liberty in a form
entirely unexceptionable,
Resolved unanimously, That the following
form of an Association be and is hereby recom
mended to them, viz.
" We, the Subferibers, inhabitants of
"in the county of and colony of New
" York, do mod solemnly declare, that the
" claims of the Britilh Parliament to bind at
" their diferetion the people of the United Co
" rries in America, in all cases whatsoever, are,
" in our opinions, absurd, unjust, and tyranni
" cal, and that the hostile attempts of their
" Sleets and armies to enforce fubmiifion to those
“ wicked and ridiculous claims ought to be re
" lifted by arms. And therefore we do
" engage and aßociate, under all the ties which
“ we ref F ectkely hold famed, to defend by
" arms these United Colonies, .jenft the Grid
" hostile attempts, agreeable to such laws or re
' gelations as our repteen'atives-irr-tte Cea
“ grefts or future Ge neral Assemblies of this
“ colony have or ilia'll for that purpose make
" and establish."
And that all persons who have been disarmed
for refuting to allocate with their countrymen
tor the defence of the United Colonies, in the
form pre cribed by the late Committee of Safety
as aforefaid, may have no pretence to complain
of injustice; and that they may have a fair op
portunity of convincing the public that their r e .
fufel to sign the afibciation did not arhe fro,
a difinchnation to defend the rights of Americ'
but merely from objections to the form of th a ,
laid afteciatien, and tin r by be restored to thee
privilege of bearing arms in support cf a cause
10 important and so glorious.
Revived unanimously, That all persons (other
than those whom the Committees of the several
Counties fhal! adjudge to be nororioufly dif.:f
fefted to the American cause) who have not ar
lociated in the form prescribed by the late Com
mittee of Safety as aforefaid, be called upon (by
pciions to be appointed by the find Committees
or the ieveral Counties) and lequefted to sub
scribe the alleviation contained and recomm nd
cd in and by these refutations. And, Resolved
further, that all Inch of the laid perlons as Rall
iuticribe the fame (other than notoriously dif
ateded perlons as afoiefaid) ought to beconfidei.
ed and treated as friends to their country, and
that all arms taken from them, and not disposed
of to the continental troops, be reftoicd to them,
and that care be taken, that they respectively be
paid the full price allowed fir such of their
arms as may have .been delivered to the conti
nental troops as aforefaid.„ And further, That
ail such of (he fcid perfomTas (hall refuse to fuh,
ferine the fame (together with all notoriously
dilaffeaed persons) be forthwith (if not already
, done) disarmed, and required on oath to de
clare and discover, whether rhe arms so to be
taken from them be all the arms they refpe&ive
ly have or hart, and at not, where the residue
thereof, to the belt of their knowledge and be
lief, are depolited and may be found; and that
such of them as ffiall refufe to t;ke such oath
be committed to fafe cufiody till they will con
sent to take it.
Resolved unanimously, 1 hat it be, and it is
hereby recommended to the committees of the
several Counties in this Colony to carry the
afore^id resolution into execution with dili
gence and punctuality.
Ordered, 1 hat the'afi regfoing Resolutions be
forthwith printed in all the Gazettes or News
papers published in this city, and in one thou
sand hang-bills for the life of the counties.
Ordered, 1 hat the find resolutions be r'ead to
eve ry person to whom the aflociation hereby
recommended-firal! be ofte:ed for fibfeription.
