that all tbe rest of mine enemies
Were as honorably buried."
"/IpRUTH for his motto, Virtue for
his friend,
His Country's happiness his only end—
To Freedom and her friends he'll firm
, adhere,
Tho' lies and factions ffiake the solid
.sphere."
'Tis not her dear elegant form,
By Symmetry's pencil defign'd :
These beauties your bofum^ may warm.
But mine is infpir'd by her mind.
What innocence beams from her eye !
, In her bcfom what gentleness reigns!
She's mild as facet Lowers from the Iky
When Flora enamels the plains.
SEAT of the MUSES.
ELIZA —or,
Amiable Sorrow.
Written on feeing a Lady in Tears.
YE Ihepherds attend to my lays,
For Eliza's the theme of my song ;
And sweet is such merited praise,
When it flows from the heart with the
tongue.
'Tis not the foft glow of her face,
Her temper's serene as young day,
When blossoms their fragrance dlFufe ;
Her accent is Philomel's lay,
That vibrates afloat on the dews.
There all the foft virtues unite,
Resistless those raptures impart
That fill with extatic delight,
Engage and embcllilh the heart.
But if, O ! ye powers divide !
Such virtue claims not your firfl carte,
Then grant that her ferrows be mine,
And bestow all my joys on the fair
JB. C.
The languid that charms in her eye,
A feature, an air, or a grace,
Nor the bosom which fuow doth outvie.
Expression illumines "her face ;
There pity, benevolence, love,
Celestial are pregnant with grace
As the smiles of a seraph above.
.Like the willow that fadden^ the mead
And weeps as it kisses the brooks,
Meek, lowly, more beautiful plead,
Didrefsful her foul-wounding looks.
Such modesty, candour and truth,
From her foul so engagingly beam,
That she equally charms age and youth,
And attrads e'en her rival's esteem.
All silent I saw them defeend,
With sympathy, sentiment fraught,
Impearling the woes of a friend,
And her own by fad destiny wrought.
Oh why ye stern fates ! melt each day
On Eliza frefh sorrows bellow ?
Mi fortunes, ah ! why do you prey
On the heart that is burning with
woe ?
But Shepherds ! no language can tell
How tenderlfavounding appears
The lovely, all-eloquent swell
Os Eliza's too exquisite tears,
Ah ! fay, (hall no gleam of relief
Prosperity's funihine resume,
Disperse the fad deluge of grief,
Restore her contentment's Tweet
bloom ?

ANECDOTE.
A COUNTRY fellow
almost frozen with
cold, demounted from his
horse, to walk on foot. —Two
Franci/cans, going the fame
way, and perceiving him,
one laid to iiis companion—
"lf I had a horse I'd be hang
ed, if I wou'd be such a fool
as to lead him by the bridle—
he should carry me to my
convent." The other who
was of a lively humour re
plied:—" I have a great mind
to play a trick with this fellow,
and take his horse from him :
But you must give me your
afliftance."— The former
contenting, they very gently
approached the countryman,
without his perceiving it.—
One of the Franciscans dex
terously took off the bridle
from the horse's head, and
clapping it up on his own,
followed the countryman :
Whilff the other, with the
halter flily carried the horse
aside. Not far from thence,
the countryman finding him
felf again inclined to ride,
turned round, but was almost
struck dead with fear at such
a metamorphis : And, crying
out terribly for help, was
flopped by the Friar ; who,
falling upon his knees, most
humbly entreated him to re
store his liberty; faying, "that
for the enormity of his fins,
he had been condemned to
filch a transformation as the;
body of a horse ; and thati
the term of his penance be-|
ing now finifhed, he was re-I
stored to his former fhape"—
The countryman recovering
a little from his fright, not
only granted him his wifhed
for liberty, but without at all
fufpeaing the trick that they
had put upon him, thus fool
ifhly replied :—" Go, in ho
ly, peace : Now I am not at
all ftirprifed, that after such
a wicked life as you led, you
should have turned out iuch
a villanious beast." The
Franciscan took leave of him,
profeffing how much he was
obliged, and went in fearcli
of his companion ; and hav
ing got a distance from, the
poor countryman, they took
another road. A few days
after, the Franciscans requeu
ed a friend of their's to carry
the horse to a neighboring
fair to be fold : Whilst he
was going along with the pu
chafer to require payment,
the firft perlon who met
them happened to be the poor
countryman who immedi
ately recognizing his horse,
addressed the buyer, telling
him he wished to speak with
him a little aside. Having

asked " whole horse that
was," the other replied :—
“ 'Tis one 1 hare but this
moment purchased, but he is
not yet paid for." —" On
your life," fays the country
man, " don't pay for him ;
give him back ; —I fay don't
believe that that piece of car
rion which you fee there is a
horse ; —I tell you it is a
Franciscan, doomed for his
wicked life to wear that shape.
Give him back, I fay, it is
the vilest animal in the whole
world, and has made me mad
a hundred thousand times."
PUBLIC notice is hereby
given,that a petition hath
been preferred to the General
Court, by a Committee ap
pointed by the Proprietors of
Unity, setting forth—That
in the year 1764 the proprie
tors of the town of Kings
town received from the inha
bitants of Hampftead a Deed
of the said town of Unity, for
and in consideration of laid
proprietors' quitting their
claim to the lands claimed by
laid inhabitants of Hamp
ftead, and that said deed is
loft and no record thereof can
be found, except on said Uni
ty proprietors' book—They
therefore pray, that an attest
ed copy of said deed, taken
from said proprietors' book,
and recorded in the county
records in the county of Che
shire, may be considered to all
intents and purposes as good
and valid as if the original
deed had been duly recorded
in said county records.
Upon which petition, the
General Court ordered, that
they may be heard thereon,
before them, on the Third
Thursday of the next fefTion
—and that they cause the
substance of said petition and
order of Court to be publish
ed three weeks successively in
one of the New-Hampshire
Newspapers —and also that a
copy of said petition and or-,
der of court be posted up in
the towns of Hamftead and
Unity, the like term of time,
fix weeks prior to the fitting
of said court, that any person
or persons may then appear
& shew cause why the prayer
thereof should not be granted.
