Step’d into (hops where Ihoes were made,
Saw artists bouriy ply the trade $
But none would this explain.
Then t’ward the weft and cross the street,
Where folks at tall St. Michael’s meet,
I hurried vex’d in mind j
’Till on the banks of Ashley’s flood,
On foil of matlh, 1 sighing stood,
For tanning use defign’d.
Not far from thence a Cobier’s son
Stood by h s hides and thus begun,
With alped dull and fad ;
Thrice he came o’er the hzy ftreara,
The fault of shoes was all his theme,
For many a fault they had.
He said the fpacioos amp’e bide.
That does for all our hoofs provide,
No thinking man could blame ;
Since Ihap’d into lo many foals
Some would.have flaws and some have holes.
To blast the Cobler’s fame.
A PHYSICIAN of Some emi
nence, whose prescriptions
had failed of their efficacy,charged
the patient with eating turnips
and attributed the ill success of
the medicine to this cause; A
pupil who attended with his master
upon the visit, asked him, how he
found out that the marrhad eaten
turnips, “Why you fool, did you
not fee the parings upon the floor.”
The next day young master was
sent, and found the patient dead,
which he wifely attributed to his
swallowing a car. “ Pray/’ fays the
elder Galen, “how did you discov
er this.” “Sir,” replied the lad,
“ 1 saw the (kin hanging at the
door.”

Who travel barefoot these dull nights,

Thus sung the Cobler’s hopeful son—
I found at length his song was done ;
He said he was no Jew ;
Sure then, ery’d I, ere I agree
For these d—n’d (hoes you mean for me,

In the House of Repreientatives of the
U. S. the t Sth inst. the Resolution propo
sed by Mr. Cl a Me, for a nonimportation
of Briti th goods, was again considered. It
was opposed as being a bar to negociation,
as leading to war, Sec. and advocated as
being constitutional, as not leading to war,
but as being the best means of bringing
negociation to a happy issue. On taking
the question, the yeas and nays were: Ayes
57 Noes 42.
Mr. Madison moved an amendment, to
make the proportion read as follows:
“ Whereas the injuries fuffered by the
United States, from a violation of oar neu
tral rights and commercial interests on the
part of Great-Britain, and alio from a fai
lure in the execution of the 7<h article of
the treaty of peace make it expedient that
our commercial intercourse with that na
tion Ihould not remain as ex ten five as it
now is, therefore resolved, that from the
day of next our commercial in
tercourse with that nation be suspended.”
The amendment of Mr. Madison was
ordered to be printed—and the house ad
journed.
