Tormenting grief
Obtains relief.
To balmy rest refign'd.
Sweet theme cf joy
%6 My thoughts employ.
And raptures swell the mind.
MR; ANDREWS,
J you think the follo-wing lies will afford
amusement to an, of,our readers, you
arc at liberty to publish them.
GENTLE SLUMBERS.
AN ODE.
My senses seize,
And lock me in repofe#
Now starting back
In memory's track,
My thoughts presume their way ;
In hasty view
Once more renew
The business of the day ;
So when the fight,
In Cynthia's light,
Salutes a milder ray,
Yon hills appear
More faint and near,
Than in. the blaze of day.
Thence wing their course
With rapid force,
Through life's remotest feenes.
And taste again
Each former pain
Or joy that intervenes^
While thus they trace
The vital space,
Through time's obscuring shade,
Past actions seem
Like some fleet dream
In fancy's glass furvey'd.
The friendly bed
Receives my head
Fatigued with feenes of day ;
My limbs reclin'd
Refreshment find,
And doze their pains away.
Till through the gloom,
Which Girouds the room
In pale and glimmering rays,
Crept from the hearth.
In lonely mirth,
The Cricket chirps his lays.
Yet sleep Bill flies
The'e pensive eyes,
And sense revives again,
Whilst in my breast,
With cares oppreft,
Returning passions reign.
My thoughts now rife
To yonder (kies,
W here circling planets roll.
There gayly move,
Through realms above,
And range without controul.
NOW peaceful night
Succeeds the light.
And half the world invades ;
Deep slumber reigns
O'er all the plains
Amid surrounding shades.
Now man and beast,
Their labours ceas'd,
Enjoy a Greet release :
The liftning ear
No found can hear,
For nature's hufh'd in peace ;
Now downward fleer;
With like career ,
To view the pathless deep ;
At length they come
Contented home,
And wait the approach of deep.
Hail ! welcome guest,
Thou power of rest,
My do nv eye-lids close.
With silent ease,
SEAT of the MUSES.

Post-Rider
From Portsmouth to Concord.
INFORMS the public, that
L in pursuance of a Refoive cf the
General Court of this State for appoint
ing Poftriders, &c. he has engaged to
ride the following route once a week,
viz.—To leave Portsmouth on Thurs
days at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, arrive
at Exeter on Thursday evenings, and to
set off on Friday mornings at 8 o'clock
for Plaftow, from thence to Amherst,
from ^Amherft through 'Bedford and
Goffstown to Concord—puts up at Col.
Stickney's; then leaves Concord on
Wednesday mornings, at 8 o'clock for
Portsmouth, byway of Pembroke, Deer
field, Epping, and Newmarkett, direst
on to Portsmouth, where he puts up at
the Coffeehoufe Tavern.—He will sup
ply persons with any of the Newhamp.
shire Newspapers, and tranfaft any kind
of business within his route, committed to
his care on the most moderate terms.
THe words are :—" higive and be
queath to my sister in law, Sarah
Dennis; four old worffead Hockings,
which Hie will find underneath my bed ;
to ray nephew Charles Macartney, two
other pair of flockings lying in the box
where I keep my linen ; to Lieutenant
Johnson of his Majesty's ^h regiment
of foot, my only pair of white Cotton
Hockings and my old scarlet great coat ;
and to Hannah Bourhe,. my house-keep
er, in return to her long and faithful ser
vices, my crackt earthern pitcher."
Hanner in anger told the other legatees,
that she resigned to them her valuable
ffiarc of the property ; and then retired.
In equal rage Charles kicked down
the pitcher, and as it broke a multitude
of guineas burst out and rolled along the
floors This fortunate difeovery induc
ed those present to examine the flockings,
which to their great joy, were crammed
with money.
WHEN Dr. Jobnfon was tra
velling through Scotland with
his conductor, Mr. James Boswell, they
one day halted at a town to dine. The
inhabitants being apprized of the arri
val of so renowned a character as Dr.
Johnson, intimations were given to Mr.
Boswell, soon after dinner, that the po
pulace would be much gratified with a
fight of him on the piazza. A request
so reasonable could not be refufed. The
doctor was accordingly presented to
them, and their curiofry folly gratified.
When Johnson retired, a shrewd old
Scotsman took an English sixpence out
of his pocket, and presented it to Bos
well—" What mean you, mon ?" said
Boswell, "I donna want your faxpence."
—Take it, Jammy," said the other,
'' I ken well eno' that ye cannaattord
to lead about that huge beast for ba
thing !"
