Os the 2d Ode of Anacreon.
BY Nature's bounty arm'd witlf horns
The ftordy Bull his rival scorns ;
With solid hoofs (lie arm'd the deed,
The weak and tim'rous hare with speed.
The lion with tremendous rows
Os teeth wide opening on his foes;
The fifh the gave the sea to swim,
The birds the liquid air to tkim; * <
Strong' sense and courage man obtain'd ;
1 For woman no defence remain'd.
What then for her was decreed ?
Realty:.. —''is fair woman's meed,
Stronger far than sword or flrield;
All to pow'rful beauty yield ;
And fire and fleel are weaker arms
Than matchiefs WOMAN'S magic charms.

EPITAPH ON MRS. NOT.

got—
' Lo ! here she lies, that was, and that was Not !
She died, was born, baptiz'd, and more ;
' Was in her lite NoT*honeft, not a w e,
Reader behold a thing most rarely wrought,
Which, whilfl thou feem'ft to read, thou readeft
\ NOT.
The delay of Repentance dangerous.
There are many to-morrow chriftians,
who set their day with God, at such a day
they will repent, and not before, as if they
had the lordihip of time, and the monopoly
of grace; whereas time and grace are only
at God's disposing. God hath promised
pardon to the penitent, but.he hath hot pro
mised tomorrow to the negligent. If I put
God off to-day, he may put me off to-mor
row ; if I put off this hour of grace, I may
never have another gracious hour ; to-day if
1 put by his hands of mercy, to-morrow he
may stretch out his hand of justice. It is
true, whilst I have time, I may come in ;
. but it is also true, when I would comein,
I may not have time. This is certain,
when I repent, !, (ball have mercy ; but
this is as certain, when I would have mercy
I may not ; find repentance. O Lord,
thou haft given me this hour of grace to re
cent ip ! give megrace in this hour to re

A CURIOUS COMBAT..
TWO gentlemen of high birth, the one a Span
iard, and the other a German, having rendered
_ Maximilian 11. many great services, they each,
for recompence, demanded his natural daughter,
Helena bchatcquinn, in. marriage. The prince
who entertainedequai refpeft for them both,could,
not give either the preference ; and after much de
lay, he told them, that from the claims they both
had to his attention and regard, he could not give
his assent foreither of them to marry his daughter
and they must decide it by tlieir own power and
address ; but as he did not wish to rilk the lots of
either, or both, by furring them to fight with
offenfiye weapons, he had ordered a large bag ,to
be brought, and hy who was fuccefsful enough to
put his rival in it, should obtain his daughter.
This Itrange combat between two gentlemen,
was in the presence of 3he whole imperial court,
and lulled near an hour. At length the Spaniard
yielded, arid the German Andre Eberhard, baron#
of Tathert, when he had him in the bag, took him j
on his back, and placed him at rhe emperor's feet,l
and on the following day he married the beautiful ;
Helena.
A correspondent at Beaver-town, on the Ohio,l
informs, that a few evenings ago a man called fur!
fo[>per at th^t place, in the course of which hel
drank 44 cups of tea, eat a large loaf of bread,]
two pounds of butter, and about lour pounds of|
beef flake. ' (Courant. \
At the lite Kent assizes, an aßjon was broughtl
for slander, in which an attorney was plaintiff, ;
and an honest farmed defendant. The action was !
brought to recover damages, for calling the attor
ney a rogue and a thief. The. verdict of the jury
was, that as the-plaintiff was an attorney, the 'ac
titin did not lie. l

WHEREAS some evil minded mis
chievous person or persons, have
lately disturbed the peaceable Inhabitants
of this town at late hours in the night, by
deffroying their property, and behaving in a
very audacious manner, but more particular
in repeatedly attacking one house in Water
ftreet, with clubs, poles, &c. and by throw
ing large stones into the windows, and
breaking the sashes, glass and all before them
into the keeping and lodging rooms ; there
by endangering the limbs and lives of the
innocent women and children, and putting
them in great fear ; and other enormities
have been done by their nefarious hands.
Therefore the Selectmen, do earnestly re
commend to every class of Citizenstoexert
themselves to prevent any disorders in future
and hereby engage to pay the above rewaM
of FORTY DOLLARS, to any person
that will give proof fufficient to convict the
