Daughters of peer'efs dames,
Come with your foft acclaims.
Let their revered names
Dwell on your tongues 1

’ See the famed band retreats—
On ocean toft ;
Bine, tumbling billows roar,
By keel feme plough’d before.
And bear them to this fliore.
Fettered in froft I
By yon wave-beaten rock,*
' See the illuftwous dock,
Collected Hand;
- To seek fom« (heitering grove,
Their faithful pattners move.
Dear pledges of their love,
In either hand.
Not winter’s fallen face—
Not the fierce, tawny race,
In arms arrayed—
Not hunger (hock their faith—
Nor si ckness’ baleful breath,
. Nor QARVER’sf early death
Their fouls dismayed.
Watered By heavenly dew,
The germ of empire grew,
Freedom its tool :

VIGIL Ho.

When you firft putyorfcanty wit to writing,
You’d fail for w*nt of STOCK.
THIS parody, from Shake
speare, was very Ihrewdly
applied to me, the other day, by
a wag, who had been, turning and.
twitting the Eagle in vain, in
quest of the 6ih number of VIGIL.
“Fal|. FOR. WANT OF STOCK*’—
re-echoed in my ears, three several

ing a Tittle stung by its pungency,
Ju^as led ro confider, whether they
* are not other clafles 6f people, be
tides periodical writers, who are
liable to this misfortune of failing
for want of stock. f
This adage, which was firft ap
plied fold? to mechanics, I think,
‘ought to be feriotffly. conned by
many of our mbdern fubferibers,

hbufe, on the eve cf a cold Winter’s
day, where the woman naturally
amiable and industrious, was shiv.

over a Tingle brand and a few de
caying embers; the cWar “ pledg

the indolence of her heedless hus
