Surprizing Adventures of a Lady
and her Children.
IN the horrid and bloody
rebellion in Ireland, a religi
ous gentlewoman, with tome o
thers in her company, was for
ced to fly for her life ; she hav
ing three children, whereof one
was at her breast; but alas!
fhefe poor trembling travellers
had not gone far, before they
were Stripped naked by the I
rish, who to admiration Spared
their lives ; butfrffing on,they
came to a river where more of
these bloody villains met them,
and would have drowned them
therein: This virtuous gentle
woman being not in the least
discouraged, desired a small
time to pray; and as she lay
naked on the frozen ground,fhe
began to confider and resolve
within herfelf, not to go volun
tarily to so unjust a death : Up
on which her refulal, these mif
creanis dragged herby the heels
along the ground with the rest
of the company ; upon which
she returned upon them, and
We wish for Printer's bracing froft,
But Winter soon disgusting grows ;
His flipp'ry ice, his dazzling snows,
And piercing cold, new troubles bring;
And then we sigh for genial Spring,
Bus even Spring not long can please ;
With heat we glow, with cold we
freeze ;
And whilst all nature blooms around,
Man only is unhappy found.
Mortals ! from weak complaint
refrain ;
And know thy life is doom'd to pain,
With patience bear the ills of nature;
Nor, by repining, make them greater.
May sympathy unite our hearts,
May tenderness cement the chain ;
Nor vile deception ad a part,
Within the bosom of my friend..
Ipswich, Ma, 12, 1792.
Maria ! may our frindfhip prove
As constant as returning spring ;
May no afperling tongue remove,
Those pleasures that true friendship
bring.
Hew beautiful the groves appear,
The purling Streams and flowery
lawns ;
The profped dissipates each care,
And every tender bosom warms.
W HEN Summer darts his fervid
For Autumn's milder beams we feray.
When Autumn's chilling damps prevail,
We sicken in each fev'rilh gale ;
And, oft by cruel agues toft,

BEHOLD ! my friend, returning
All nature's dreft in airy green;

MONITORIAL ADVICE.
poor children had not gone far,
till they saw two or three great
dogs eating a man that had been
killed : The children were a-,
fraid of the dogs, who needed
not to have feared any thing,
but to live in such a condition:
But one* of the dogs come run
ning, and leaped upon one of
the children, without doiag
hiin the least hurt-—and would
run a little before, and then tar
ry till the children come to him,
and so led them to a house,
where fmoak appeared, which
was an Irishman's, protested by
the English in Antrum, where
they were courteously received
and the mother sent for, and
were all thus miraculously
preserved, through the great
mercy of God.
on her knees, said, You ffiould,
lam fore, be Christians, and
men I fee you are ; in taking
away our miterable lives you do
us a pleasure ; but know, as we
never wronged you nor yours,
you muff die also yourfekves,
and one day give an account of
this cruelty, to /the judge of
Heaven and Earth. Upon
which, fays an Irish priest, let
us not take their lives, but we
will, put them into the island of
Lake : And a. boat being in the
river, eight of them, who were
all then in company, were all
put into the island naked, and
without meat: where, after four
days some of them died of hun
ger and cold, but not this wo
man, nor any of her children ;
for the next day the two boys
found the hide of a bead which
had been killed ; this they and
their mother endeavored to call
over them, lying upon the snow.
The day after a boat goes by
them, whom the poor woman
beseeches for God's fake to
carry her out of that place, but
they being Irish, refufed it: She
then desires a little bread, but
they answer they have none ;
then she begs a coal of fire, for
they had some fuel in the boat ;
and thus with some chips they
made a fire ; and the boys tak
ing a piece of the hide, laid it
upon the coals, and began to
gnaw it ; but alas ! without an
extraordinary divine fupporr,
what could this do ? Thus they
lived io days without any visible
supplies ; and that good woman
profeffed it was by faith in God
ihe^yed; for she had no bread
but ite&fnow,nor any drink but
water —but she said, she thought
God put more fubfance into it,
for it seemed clammy. The
next day a boat carried her but
to the fide of the Bandwater,
where yet she had been loft,but
that flae could not endure to fee
her children die in her fight,and
therefore, though the two boys
were young, and so famifhed
with hunger that they had no
strength, she persuaded them to
go out of her fight, under pre
tence of seeking some fire. The
^llThereas Henry Moore
of Chester, in the
State of New-Hampshire,
Esq. did on the 9th day of
May, 1778, by his Bond of
that date, oblige himfelf and
his heirs, to give unto 'John
Alien of Pembroke, but late
of Concord, Clerk,deceafed,
a good deed of five hundred
acres of Land in the town
ship of Corinth, then in the
State ofNew-York, but now
in the State of Vermont, for
the consideration of wnich,
the said Moore received the
deceafed's note for three
hundred pounds Pape# Mo
ney, as for value received,
payable on the 9th day of
May, 1779, which was allo
signed by the fubferiber,
(then a minor,) as the said
Moore's bond was never in
the subscriber's keeping, or
hath he ever seen the fame
since his said Father's death,
but supposes it to be loft, or
left by the deceased at some
friend's house in this State;
and in as much as faidMoore
has since indorfed said note
to one Ricbardfon, who hath
sued the fubferiber for the
fame, altho' neither he, or
his deceafed's father, hath
ever received the least consi
deration for the said note,
exceptingfaid bond, Where
fore he earnestly requests all
his deceased father's friends,
to give notice of said bond,
if they know where the fame
may be had, found or pro
cured, to the intent that jus
tice may be obtained, and
for which a generous con
sideration flhall be paid with
gratitude, by
