WONDERFUL TREE Or MEXICO, CALLED
METE.
This tree the inhabitants plant and dress as we
do our vines. It has fifty kinds of leaves which
serve for different uses ; wh o n tender they make
conserves, paper, fl 4 x, mantles, mats, shoes, gir
dies, cordage; aid when properly ourut down,
dry malt better than our cinders from coal. On
these leaves grow prickles so flrong that they nie
them instead of saws ; and Fo long that the work
ing people use them inft^ad of knives. From the
Toot of the tree comes a}nice, the syrup, wtncn it
you let fettle, will become honey ; if von purify
it, it will become fnga< : You may also nuke
wine and vinegar of it, bhth which properly m f x.t
make better drink than our best ale : if they give
it their children when young, they are sure to
have double the strength of those brought up by
fuelling : the rind roasted heals any wound or
burn; and from the to, boughs, drops gum
which if properly dissolved, is an excellent anti
dote against poison.
AN EYE TO BUSINESS.
A legal gentleman of the Temple, whb for a
considerable time paid his addresses to the daugh
ter of a bookseller in Hilborn, was, some days
ago, forbidden the house ; on which he immedi.
atelv sent in* bill of gil. 133 qd. for two hundred
and seventy five attendances advising on family aft
fairs.
Old Frederick, king of Prtiffia, used to fay,
« The Bible is a ftaff which God put into the
hands ot blind men to guide their steps. But they
instead of applying it to that life, immediately
began to depute and wrangle about its length,
breadth, and thickness ; and concluded by knock
ing each other over the pate with it."

LINES
BY WILLIAM HERBERT EARL OF PEMBROKE.
From Ellis's Early Poetry.
So glides along trie wanton brock,
With gentle pace into the main,
Courting the banks with am'rous look,
He never means to fee again.
Ann so does fortune ule to smile
Upon the fhort-liv'd favorite's face,
Whole fuelling hopes die does beguile,
And always casts him in the race.
And so doth the fantaftic boy.
The god of the ill manag'd flames,
Wo ne'er kept word in promised joy,
To lover nor to loving dames, ,
So all alike will conflant prose,
Both fortune, running fireams, and love."

THE fubferibers have purchased
A the right of tiling and vending to others
to be used, KENNEDY's PATENT
WINDOW SPRINGS, in the counties ot
Rockingham and Strafford, in New-Hamp
thire, and the Diftri& of Maine, except the
towns of Berwick,Sanford and Wells. The
object of this invention was to furnifh afecure
faflener for windows,and convenienieut ma
chinery to raise and lower both the upper
and lower Sash, and by the assistance ot
Springs to support it at any height that is
willed.
Gentlemen who have viewed
Windows fitted with these springs, are ot
opinion that the invention will be of great
utility, and acknowledge that the design of
the inventor is completely accomplished.—
The expense of fitting a Window with these
Springs is but about a fourth part so much
as that of weights and lines ; at the fame
tittle tnere durable and less liable to acciden
tal injury. Old windows may be fitted with
Springs as well as new ones.
Those who wish to purchase
Springs, or to have them put on, may apply
to any one of the fubferibers, who have aflo
ciated themselves in a company, in the above
purchase, and in this business will life the sig
