IN those days a spirit of absurdity fhali be

those who dub themselves the organsof the peo.

people fhali not be heard from their own
mouths,or from thatof their defied substitutes

The people of the eaft.and the weft, the north,
and the fonth, fhali (ay there is peace—-and
neutrality fhali be the countersign—but the
sons of rapine and plunder, of anarchy, con
fufton and every evil work, fhali counterfeit
the countersign, and fhali substitute in lieu
.thereof a shibboleth, called Gratitude, of
which they know neither the force or meaning
having never felttheimpreffion thereof. And
in those days the people fhali be all in all ;
and yet the doings of the people fhali be revi.
fed and ridiculed by their pretended friends;
and the rights of eledion fhali be contended
for, and the men whom the people have/rwZy
tkQid t fhali be traduced and stigmatized as
a band of pickpockets & rogues ; and yet the
infalibility of the people fhali be set up, as
Nebuchadnezzar set up a great image, for all
nations, tongues and people, to fall down and
worship. And this great image fhali deliver
oracles,and datkjand light sayings, yea windy
matters, out of a hollow cavity, even from the
belly of the fame—albeit, but one voice only
fhali be heard, and that alone fhali be infal
tho’ it often speak in an unknown

ORIGINAL ANECDOTE.
A YOUNG man was arraigned at the bar
of a neighbouring Justice, for thegrowing e
vil of committing large depredations on a la
dy’s Chastity —her honest father rated the dam
ages in the premijes at 301. the young man
thought, as it was (o commin a thing, that he
ought to abate of the fiandard price, and be
content with 50 dollars— but the Lady, feel
ing her modedy insulted by this low valuation,
arose and (big with the spirit of her cause)
addressed the Judge in an elevated tone of
voice, informing him that she should inJifl on
one hundred and twenty dollars, as this was the
•very lowest price her mother and all her fillers
had always set it at.

CARELESS by name, and carclefs by na

Careless of shape, and careless of feature,
Careless in dress, and careless in air.
Careless of love, and careless of hate,
Careless if toaiden,and careless if wed.
E’en careless at tea, not midnight’s chit chat,
So careless, fte’s careless for this or for that:
Careless of all love or wit can propose,
She’s carelefs,fo careless there’s nobody knows
O! how could I love thee, thou dear careless
Thus bawls the priefl as one by heaven sent,
Whose lungs fuppy the lack of argument ;

JVf R. Notright was bred a mechanic ;
his father left him, besides his trade, a (mail
farm, on which, with a moderate (hare of la
bour he might have gotten a good living
But he was not (atisfied. He calculated the
profits of trade. The retailers, said he, go ro
New-York and purchase goods on credit ;
they fell them at 25 or 30 pr. cent, profit ;
They fend produce to make remittance, on
which they likewise make a profit ; they
mud, and do grow rich amazing fail 1 I’ll go
into trade.—Down to New York he went —
purchased a large dore of goods,—put on his
ruffled (hirt, and opened store in the proper
mercantile taste ; his family likewise loon
became people of faihion, and commenced
good customers to the (lore. He went rapid*
ly on in buftoefs, advertised pompoufiy in
the papers—built an elegant house—enlarg
ed his store and out houses—purchased stal
lions and jacks—was chosen to offices in the
town—became a great rich man, and the
people were astonished at his prosperity.—
But lo ! the New-York merchants became
clamorous about certain old accounts of some
years (landing; on examining those accounts
there was found more than thirty To's to one
By. On examining his accounts at home he
found the case quite different, there were
more than thirty By's to one To. (By the
way this was the firft time that he ever exa
mined any of his accounts,) He was some
what furprized—■' What should he do ?He
borrowed money at 12 pr. cent pr. annum
interest—Contracted new debts to pay old
ones—Took up more goods than usual, and
fold them for less than prime cost—Went in
to more branches of trade than before—ef
tablilhed manufactures, and seemed to be a
greater and richer man than ever. But alas!
a certain little man had the impudence, one
morning, to clap this great man on the (houl
der, and pronounce some very saucy words.—
Here ended his career. His efiate was deli
vered into the hands of trustees for the bene
fit of his creditors, who it is said will receive
ten (hillings on the pound. Mr. Notright is
now employed making (hoes.- —■ ■ Query,
had he not better have been always thus
employed?

They ihall also malign the Constitution, the

cessant effort* to destroy the confidence of the
people in thfe work of their own hands, if by
any means they may induce them to under
mine the foundations of Liberty, Law, and
Government, laid by their best and moil experi
enced workmen ; and all this they shall do
under the plausible pretext of being friends
to the interest of the people. Yea, they shall
openly propose to the people, rhat they return
to a fandrope union—and a confederation of
heads so difproporrioned to each other, that
they appear when arranged, like pins’ heads,
and billiard balls. And 10, in those davs

wonderful sympathy between congenial fouls

—and the profpefts of anarchy and confufion
shall be painted in the fame colours in both
hemispheres and this shall turn the monster
of European politics into a bugbear,yea into
a philosophical blending of the equality and
