What need have we of China's wealth
Or, commerce with o-r neighbours,
Our Conftituion is in health.
And riches crown our labours.
Oar Bank Serin (hips have golden
(hrouds,
They'll bring much wealth—'(is
granted—
But lodge their treafare in the clouds
To hide it,' till tis wanted.
Columbia bless the prefect state,
Thon only happy nation —
So odly.rich—fo madly great,
Since bubbles came in falhion :
Succefsful Rakes (hall (hew their pride—
Shall brag of paper millions—
And high in Coach their fillers ride
Who ufs'd to jog on pillions.
Few men who follow Rtaon's rules,
Grow fit on Bank Script diet,
Young Rattles, and unthinking Tools,
Are those who flourish by it.—
The unletter'd Clown, and pushing
Blade,
Who've least Consideration ;
Grow rich apace---whilst wiser heads
Are ftroft with admiration.
Court Fortune for her graces,
And as the smiles, or frowns, they
(how —
Here Gentlemen, with Clown; appear—
The Well birr. and the Rabble ;
To buy and fell - to fee and hear,
The old and young-ones squabble.
Here crafty Statesmen are too wife.
For those who trust to Fortune —
They fee the cheat w th clearer eye,
Who've peep'd behind the cur
tain :—
Here quondam Pcieflt, and quondam
'Tis said, that Acbimfo of old,
Could turn a brazen kettle,
Or I aden cistern into gold,
That noble tempting mettle ; —
But if here it may be allow'd
To bring in great with small things
Oar cunning See r, like a God,
Turn'd nothing into all things.
IN Boston is a famous street—
And near that Greet an ally—
Where well-drefs'd crouds for riches
swear,
And Wisdom Goops to Folly—
Here lad and joyful, high and low
Fjacks,
The Lame-duck, and the Rojey ,
V/ro ride in Coach, and ride in Hacks,
Fom Jem, to splendid , f)'°
Mecbarcks, running fem (heir (hops
Come here, and burn their fingers
The Farmer reaps no more his crops—
No occupation lingers.—
Longheads may thrive by sober rules,
Because they think and drink not,
But Headlongs are our thriving fools
W ho only drink and think not.
The lucky rogues, like Spaniel dogs,
Leap into Bank Script wa'er,
And there they fi(h for golden Frogs,
Not caring what corns after.
A race of men, who Mother day,
Lay crush'd beneath disasters--
Are now by Stock brought into play,
And made quite Lords and Masters ;
But fhbuld our Bank Scrip Babel fall,
What numbers will be frowning,
The Cofers then must eale their gall,
By hanging-or by drowning.--
What ! 'ho' our foreign trade decline—
Os mighty wealth we vappur-
When all the riches of our mine
Consist in SCRIPTS of paper.

AN ALTER'D,
S O N G.
HOW lightly the Ro
mans accounted the
marriage compaa, we may
judge from an Anecdote
mentioned by Plutarch. A
certain Roman had divorced
his wife, and being pressed
by the expostulations of his
friends, who asked, Was foe
not fair ? Was fee not chafle ?
Was fee not fruitful ? Holding
up his shoe to them, replied,
is it not handfeme ?Is it not
new ? yet none knows where it
pinches but he that wears it.
Extract of a letter from Venice.
"jFyou were here,you would
Abe much pleased with a dis
covery made at Udine, the
capital of Friuti, a Imall pro
vince belonging to this re
public. The difeovery is
this :—A poor man lying
under the frightful tortures
of the hydrophobia, was cur
ed by some draughts of vini
gar, given him by mistake,
instead of another portion,
A Physician of Padua, called
count Leoniffa,. got intelli
gence of this event at Udine,
and tried the fame remedy
upon a patient that was bro't
to the Padua hospital, admin
istering him a pound of vine
gar in the morning, another
at noon, and a third at sunset,
and the man was speedily and
perfectly cured.
" I have diffufed through
Italy this dilcovcry,by means
of a periodical paper that I am
writing, and I hope that you
will make it known in Eng
gland, by means of your pub
lick papers,and lam lure this
aftonifoing remedy will have
as happy an effect there, as it
had here, so I should be glad
to be apprized of it, that I
may relate it in my laid pa
per. As you have more ramb
ling dogs in London than we
have here, it is probable that
the experiment will soon be
tried.
