POETRY.[
FROM THE NEW-YORK DAILY ADVERTISER.
THE FOUNDLING.
On seeing a beautiful infant, about a month did, in
the arms' of a Lady, at whose door it had been left
about 9 o'clock on Sunday evening, March 25,
1804, neatly clothed, and carefully wrapped to
defend it from cold ; —accompanied also by a
letter, in which were strongly pourtrayed the
grief and distraction of the unhappy mother, on
being compelled thus to abandon her child ; and
earnestly imploring, on its behalf, that protection
which, from desertion and distress .of circum
stances, it was no longer in her power to afford.
On what a piteous sight is there !
The helpless victim of Despair
In Mercy's lap reclin'd.
Poor, blameless, blighted child of woe^
Thou dost not'yet thy sufferings know,
Nor know, thy patrons kind.
Alas ! what gulit, or misery hard,
Could quench a mother's fond regard,
Could sever Nature's ties ?
Could drop, forsaken and forlorn,
Her son, her suckling, newly born,
To pain a Stranger's eyes ?
Perhaps once happy, artless maid !
She fell, by artifice betrayed,
And thought the vows sincere.
Which left her in a bitter hour.
For shame and anguish to devour,
Without one pitying tear.
Perhaps an outcast from her home;
Afraid to stay unus'd to roam,
She sought in vain relief :
Till, hunger, cold, and toil combin'd, ,
To numb her limbs, and wring her mind,
And break her heart with grief.
Ah, what could make, but horror wild,
A mother thus forsake her child,
And spurn the charge she bore;
Reject it from her heaving breast,
And leave it an unbidden guest.
At a promiscuous door ?
Yet not promiscuous.. .He, unseen,
Who knows what human sorrows mean,
Thy wand'ring footsteps led,
Where dwelt humanity to feel
And ready skill was prompt to heal
Thine infant well nigh dead.
So when a tyrant's cruel breath
Had dooom'd each Hebrew son to death,
To sooth his guilty fear;
Young Moses, by the river's side,
Within his feeble ark had died,
But Providence was near.
He bid the Egyptian princess find
The babe, and with a tender mind,
Compassionate its tears :
From sedgy Nile the Phrophet rose,
Who sav'd his race, and crush'd their foes,
. In his succeeding years.
Who knows but this poor tittle frame
May hold a spark of future fame
Which time shall give to shine ?
Matur'd to happier days, he may,
With filial love, your cares repay,
And cheer your life's decine.^
Almighty love, what words are thine I
" Ye outcasts, I adopt you mine !
“ Your parent, hope, and stay ;
" A mother may her son forsake,
" But I my covenant will not break,
" Nor cast my child away."
ANECDOTES.
J. Bannister. —The late John Palmer, whose
father was a bill-sticker, and who had occasionally
practised in the same humble though hereditary
occupation himself, being one evening strutting in
the green room in a pair of glittering buckles, a
gentleman who was present remarked, that they
really resembled diamonds. "Sir," said the actor
with some warmth, “ I would have you know, I ne
ver wear any thing except diamonds.''^—" I ask
your pardon," replied the gentleman, " I remem
ber the time when you wore nothing but ftaste."
This produced a loud laugh, which was heightened
by Jack Bannister's jogging him on the elbow, and
dryly saying, " D—n me, Jack, why don't you
stick him against the wall ,"
JEU d'esprit.
" How can you, my Lord, preferfamch to vine ?"
"Because, my dear, it is so like matrimony —such
a charming compound of opposite qualities." —"Ah,
my Lord, I am the weak part, I suppose." —" No,
my love, you are the sweet, with a dash of the acid,
and no small portion of the spirit,

Fullers Earth.
The proprietors of the Washington
Mines, in Newfield, state of Massachusetts, hare
the pleasure of presenting to the public the genuine
FULLERS EARTH.
As many advantages may arise to dif
ferent kinds of Manufacturers, such as Clothiers,/
Silk Dyers, and Hatters, by using it.—The proprie
tors flatter themselves that they shall meet with
„ suitable Encouragement and patronage from their .
, fellow citizens.—The utility of the FULLERS^
, EARTH is estimated so high in England, that a
Iheavy penalty is annexed to its Exportation. It
I exceeds all kinds of soap, in cleansing of Woolens,
• Silks, and Cottons, will extract any kind of Grease,
>and leave the colour clearer and more transparent, ft
In order that it may be done effectu-i 4
ally, let the FULLERS EARTH be moderate], l
dried, in an oven, or oyer a small fire. Then mix'd
: with warm water, made into a thin paste, put on,
and dried on the spots, and then a biush may be
used to cleanse it. The Grease will be extracted
and the colours left perfect.A
Hatters may derive great advantages ,
in the use of tlie Fullers Earth, as it will cleanse more
effectually, than Soap, and less labor required.
Many experiments having been made to prove it. l
As the proprietors arc legibly impres
sed with the very great importance of the FUL
LERS EARTH, especially to Clothiers, they there
fore take the liberty of recommending the following
manner of using it.
Take three pounds of dried FUL
LERS EARTH, to a bucket of water, let it dis
solve, wet the cloth in the usual way for scouring ; I
let the cloth go i;*o the Fulling stock one hour, put
on your scouring water, and let it go, till the water
comes clear from the cloth. The cloth will then be
clean, and soft—and half the quantity of Soap for
;Fulling is necessary. The cloth will cover better on
the Warp, and will be twenty per cent easier to I
finish and color.
But not confining its use to manufac
turers, it may be observed, that seamen will find J
it highly beneficial,as in cleansing their eloathes,salt- I
water may be adopted in the room of fresh.—lt like-
I wise may be very serviceable to private families, as
I Baizes. Flannels and Woolen Hose wash'd with it,
jwill prevent them from shrinking, and in cleansing
many kinds of household furniture, its use is far pre-I
ferable to Soap, Rotten Stone, or Whiting—as it l
leaves no tarnish behind.
As the proprietors of the Washington I
Mines reprobate every kind of misrepresentation
respecting the properties < f the Fullers Earth, so
they are firmly persuaded, that many after having■
used it, will join with them, in recommending its
, great utility.
