STEPHEN A U S T I N, & Co.
HAVE jufl now opened their Lead-Warehouse, two doors
font h of Walnut-It reel Wharf, adjoining their New Factory
where they have now made, and ready for fair, 3 neneral adort
ment oISHOT of all sizes, with SHEET and BAR LEAD the
production of the Mir.es in Virginia. As they have employed a
number of experienced English workmen, they wa.rant it to be
equal i» quality to any manufafturcd ill Europe, and at a reduced
pice from the colt of imported.
They also continue to manufacture all the above articles at
Richmond, in Virginia. All orders addrefled to either of the
above Factories, will be thankfully received, and execnted on the
shortest notice.
[Conclusion of a speculation began in theift pa s e of our last paper.]
SHOULD we have reason to regret our relapse
into errors, which we have heretofore deter
mined with ourselves to correct, and hoped to
subdue—let us carefully examine whether we
have not chosen a wrong method to effedi such
refolutions—ihe passions of men, as well as their
reason, are the gift of nature, and intended to
make complete the moral character of man : it
is our natural access to vice, which enhances the
charms of virtue ; and " he that conquers hiin
felf is the greatest of conquerors"—and in no si
tuation do we derive equal fatisfatfion to our
ielves, or appear with greater advantage to those
around us, as after a fair competition with our
passions, vre can boast the ascendancy of reason
but our failure in acquiring this supremacy, is
oftener to be attributed to a want of ikill in con
ducing the conflict, than from real depravity—
as when under the conviction of error we feel
an ingenious wish of amendment ; we are apt to
forget the strength and intimate connexion of
our natural propensities, still confirmed by habit,
and by too sudden an attack on anyone of them'
we give the alarm to the reft and rouse the whole
phalanx of our passions to resistance, which are
found too strong for the feeble barrier of reason
and collefling power from success, impose a hea
vier bondage whereas, if we would endeavor
their gradual and adroit fubjugarion, calling in
occasionally by reflexion the pieafure we deriv
ed from one conquest to our aid in the pursuit of
another—we should soon find reason smiling in
the feat of empire, and by her rays be led to the
region of truth. MENTOR

When even ministers pursue the rage,
And honest toil is bountiiully given-—
If dearly bought —the circling air of heav'n,
Is there no mode, since manhood must perplex,
To suit his nature by the change of sex ?
Or, must the thing indefinite remain,
A modern Abetard, without his pain !
Fie ! fie ! my lord ! give back the painted fa»,
Aflert your freedom, and aflume the man :
Show, by the deeds humanity reveres,
That kings at least have honorable heirs :
Snatch, from the lips of propagating fame,
A tale, whose whisper's everlasting (hame.
And mimics woman even in her fears :
Of frame so delicate, that on his breast
The ribband's pinn'd, tp give the nosegay reft
The flow'r, alas! too heavily might lie,
And load the murmur of a gentle sigh ;
So vast a burthen on a heart so foft,
Would furc be fatal, if his lordfliip cough'd.
In this all-fruitful commutative age,
what is family? fee C funk
Beneath contempt, and delicately drunk :
Not drunk like manhoood in his generous mood,
When bright'ning humour o'er the quicken'd blood
Springs into life, and honcftly declares
The glowing sentiments his bosom bears;
But drunk with show, ridiculously vain,
And pleas'd with all things that the wife disdain.
In muslin trowfers tied with silken firings,
Shoes with rosettes, and fingers deck'd with rings;
With glitt'ring chains that from the waistcoat (liow,
How much the man is buried in the beau !
