shore,
“ Where never Christian white may tor
ture more ;
<< Curfe,curfe me not with being,infant
throw
<<This Ipathfome body to the waves be
low !”
His prayer deny'd, condemn'd 'midft
slaves to groan,
The cruel merchant marks him for his
own,
The fear by Christian cruelty impreft,
Smoaks on his aim, or blackens on his
bread,
The wattled ozier forms his rugged bed,
And daily anguish earnshis daily bread ;
Short food, and fherter rest, and endless
toil,
Above the feourge,below the burning foil.
YET, who the Negroes fufferings can
relate
Or mark the varied horrors of their fate.
Where, blushing truth ! shall we their
griefs begin,
Or how commence the catalogue of Sin?
Demons of torture ! ye who mock at
woe,
And smile to fee the crimson blocd-track
flow,
In horrid triumph rife from central hell,
Th 'inventive pangs of Christian growth
to tell,
Oh ! aid the shuddering Muse to paint
the grief,
Which calls on Death for pity and re
lief ;
Oh ! powers of mercy loose that maffy
yoke,
Oh ! hold that arm, for murder's in the
stroke !
Behold that axe the quivering limb as
sails.
Behold that body weltering in its wails !
Ah ! hear that Bludgeon fall, that laffi
resound !
Ala ! fee those wretches writing on the
ground !
See yonder mangled mass of atoms lie,
Behold that chriftian's hands the flames
apply,
At the bare feet is laid the fulphurous
train
Climbs to the heart and burns into the
brain.
Survey the triple horrors of their Rate,
Doom'd in each change to be the sport
of fate,
Torn from their native land at firft they
come.
And then are thrown into the failing
tomb,
In wat'ry dens like coupled beasts they
lie,
And beg the mournful priviledge to die ;
Than man, more kind, death often
brings relief,
Releases one, while one survives to grief;
The living wretch his dead associate fees,
The body clasps and drinks the putrid
breeze,
Chain'd to the noxious corpse till rudely
thrown
In the vex'd sea, then left a Have alone.
Ah ! wretch forlorn ! thy lot the most
severe,
Assassinations would be mercy here!
Methinks I hear the cry, " ah ! give me
death,
" Give the last blow, and flop this hated
breath.
" To arm this hand were holy innocence,
" I call on suicide as felf-defence ;
'' Oh ! for a sword to waft me to the
SEAT of the MUSES.
Although the new work (called Humanity)
by the author of Sympathy, comprehends
a 'variety of objeds interesting to buma

jea of the fate of the baplefs Afi•icans —•
The following is feleded from many :n
--flances:
\ty HEREAS I the lubicri
ber with Jacob Killey,
gave a Note of hand to Eben
ezer Eastman, of Gilmantown,
for the sum of sixty five pounds
lawful moneys dated Gilman
town, May 28th, 1783, and
payable to said Eastman or
order, on the 28th day of
May, 1786, with interest from
the 28th day of May, 1784,
which Note [ have paid, and
taken said Eastman's receipt
therefor—But as the Note at
the time of payment could not
be found, and as the fame, if
found, may be offered for
sale—l hereby caution all
persons against purchasing it,
the fame having been paid as
above.

THE fubferiber having re
turned from a journey to Canada,
on the business on his new method of
making Pot and Pearl Aihes, now in
forms those Manufacturers and others,
who have contracted for licences that
they are ready, and will be forwarded to
his Attornies, to be delivered by the firft
day of next month, agreeable to contract.
Some unexpected detention having pro
longed his said journey, and consequently
retarded the delivery of the licenses to a
later period than he hoped for. He
thinks it not improper to inform, that
after making several experiments in
Quebeck, in the presence of some per
sons of distinction, the Legislature of
Canada have, by a law of that Province,
secured to him an exclusive right to his
difeovery. Copies of some Certificates
of the above experiments, with proofs
which have been made in this city, will
be left in the handsof his Attornies, who
will furnifh descriptions of the works,and
the necessary directions for performing
the operation, with the Licenses, &c.
WHEREAS Ab!Gail the
'' wife of me the fubferi
ber, has eloped from my bed
and board, this is to forbid
all persons harbouring or
trufling her on my account,
as I am determined not to
pay any debt (he may contrad
after this date.
