WINTER. A paficral BALLAD.
WHEN the trees are all bare, not a leaf
to be seen,
And the meadows their beauty have loft ;
When nature's difreb'd of her mantle of green,
And the ftrcams are fad bound with the froft.
While the peasant inactive Hands fevering with
cold,
As bleak the winds northerly blow ;
And the innocent forks run for case to the fold,
With their fleeces befprinkled with snow.
In the vard, when the cattle are fodder'd with
ft raw,
And they fend forth their breath like a fleam:
And the neat-looking dairy maid fees flic must
thaw
Flakes of ice that she finds in the creaffi.
When the sweet country maiden as frefh as a rose,
As (he carelelly trips often Aides,
And the rustics laugh loud, if by falling die snows
All the charms that her modesty hides.
When the lads and the laflfes for company join'd
In a crowd round the embers are met; ^
Talk of fairies and witchesthat ride on the wind,
And of ghosts, till they are all in a sweat.
Heav'n grant in this season it may be my lot,
With the nymph whom I love and admire ;
While the icicles hang from the eves of my cot,
1 may thither in fafety retire!
Where in neatness and quiet, and free from
, furprize
We may live and no hardships endure §
Nor feel any turbulent passions arise,
But such ds each other may cure.„

POLITICAL DISQUISITIONS:
An Enquiry into Public Errors, De
fects and Abuses.
Illustrated by, and efiabliflied upon Faffs and
Remarks, extracted from a Variety of Au
thors, ancient and modern.
Calculated to draw the timely Attention of
Government and People, to a due Conside
ration of the Necessity and the Means of re
forming those Errors, Defeats and Abuses ;
of restoring the Conditutien, and faring the
State.
By J. BURG H, Gentleman;
Author of the Dignity of Human Nature, and
other Worksi
The AMERICAN EDITOR
to his COUNTRYMEN.
IN this work, are freely and judly exhibited,
by the mod able politicians, ahd th? great
est legislators of ancient and modern times ; the
errors and corruptions of those governments,
which always have, and for ever will, bring ru
in and dedru&ion upon the literties qfmankind.
The inhabitants of Britain, whole organs of
fight are become so very dim, that their rulers
daily deceive them with the shadow indead of
the substance ; are throughout the whole, held
up as woful and convincing mementoes, how,
and by what means, the royal, ministerial, and
parliamentary managers, cajole, tempt, and
bribe the people to commit feticide on their
own liberties, and afterwards hang them in
chains of everlading flaVery, for the great crime
of believing place-men and pensioners, ever in
tended, or were capable of intending any good
to theih or their country. Americans, behold
them ! There they are! mod effectually gib
beted ; and there they are likely to remain, al
mod unpitied. Because dear bought experience,
hath taughtall thofewhefe facultiesof feeling, as
well as of feeing, are not entirely extiiiguilhed;
that the immediate extirpation, and absolute an
nihilation of all exorbitant incomes, even of the
King, as well as those near him, is the only
probable, or possible way, to keep men virtuous
citizens, and to make the liberties es any coun
try p rpetual.
For no man should ever be admitted near the
helm of government, except those honest and
exalted beings, whose chief actuation of foul, a
rifeth from, and is continually pervaded with a
love of honour, liberty, and their country. The
felfifh part of the world, along with all those
who are confeious of possessing, either bad or
narrow fouls, will tell us, these are obsolete
words, that have no meaning. We shall leave
that to a future determination,after inferring and
averring, they may and ought, in plain English,
to mean a constant attention, and an invariable
attachment to the good of the whole commu
nity.

The petufal of the work at this important
period, will be attended with the mod fakrary
and certain advantages, if the inhabitants of
America will be so rational, as to a& wifely, in
taking warning from the folly of others, by per
mitting ne ministerial extravagancies to enter
into their plan. They will then dart fair, for
laying a sure foundation that freedom (hall lad
for many generations ; and the great expence of
blood and treasure, which the present grand
conflict mud cod, will in some measure be com
pensated for, by the goodness and permanancy
of the new erection, which mud be condrufted,
