The Grumbler.
COREUS unmarried, gambled fur a wife ;
Married, he grumbles fbll, and lives in ftrife !
A child is wanted ; Heaven the blessing lent;
Yet dill he grumbled, still is discontent.
Why, what's the matter, Coreus? Worse & worse !
The feemiog blefling's turn'd into a curie '; ,
The nutfe and midwife drain my pockets dry ;
I've nought to keep tih boy with by and by.
Ap : rfe he finds ; yet now, as heretofore,
He grumbles on, "Had it been so much more,
1 might have left off labor, liv'd in peace ;
But so it happens, ail my swans are geese."
He fickeos ; now he grumbled, without doubt ;
" When will my health return ? My money's oilt."
Death came and (truck him ; at ore F.tal blow,
He sent him § umbling to the Shades below.
NEW and USEFUL,
PHE fubferibers have purchased
= the right of using and vending to others
to be used, KENNEDY'S PATENT
WINDOW SPRINGS, in the counties of
Rockingham and Strafford, in New-Hamp
fnire, and the Diftri& of Maine, except the
towns of Berwick,Sanford and Wells. The
object of this invention was to furnifh afecure
faflener for windows,and convenienient ma
chinery to raise and lower both the upper
and lower Sash, ahd by the assistance of
Springs to support it at any height that is
wished.
Gentlemen who have vieived
Windows fitted with these springs, are of
opinion that the invention will be of great
utility, and acknowledge that the design of
the inventor is completely accomplished.—
The expense of fitting a Window with these
Springs is but about a fourth part so much
as that of weights and lines ; at the fame
time more durable and less liable to acciden
tal injury. Old windows may be fitted with
Springs as well as new ones.
Those who with to purchase
Springs, or to have them put on, may apply
to any one of the fubferibers, who have aflo
ciated themselves in a company, in the above
purchase, and in this bufinefl will use the lig
. nature of Elisha Whidden & Co.

N.B. All perjons are cautioned against ujing l

aforementioned, without authority from the
fubferibers, if they would avoid the penalty of
the law.
