PAPER,
VARIOUS the Paper various wants produce,
The wants of tafhion, elegance, and ute ;
Meo are as various ; and, if right I lean,
Eich fort of Paper represents some man,
Pray, not the fop—had powder and half lace,
Nice as a band-box were his diverting place;
He's the GILT paper, which apart your litre,
And look from vulgar bands in the 'fcrutoire.
Mechanics, Servants, Farmers, and so forth,
Are COPY-PAPER of interior worth•
Less priz'd, more ufetul, for your desk decreed,
Free to all pens, and proarpt a; ev'iy need.
The wretch w bom av'rice bids to porch and (pare,
Starve, cheat, and pilier, to torch an heir,
13 COARSE BROWN PAPER, such as pedltrs choufe
To wrap up wares which better men will ale.
Take next the miler's contrail, wiio deliroys
Health, fame,,and fortune, in a round of joys.
Will any Paper match him? Yes throughout,
He's a true sinking-paper, pall all doubt.
The retail politician's anxious thought
Deems this fide always right,#na drat dark naught,
Be foams with centtire, with a^laufe he raves,
A dope to rumors, and a too! o. knaves:
He'll want no type his weakness to proH^im,
While such a thing as foolscap lias a name,
The bally gentle can, whole blood runs high,
Who pick)fo quarrel if you he? awry ;
Who cau'Ua fed, a hint, a look endure;
What is he ? Whv touch PAPER to be fare.
What are onr poets, lake them -s they fed,
Good, bad, rich, poor, much read, n>t red at all?
Them and their works in th? fame class you'll find,
They are the mere vast paper of mankind.
Ofwe the m iden. innocently fwect,
s?^ fir white paper, an mduliyA foeet,
On which the happy man whom fate ccdß.is
?Gy write his name, and tke her tor hi: pairs.

Oliver Waldron.io. budenyt law, in or
office of Mr. Janies W mis, L „ this young feder
al Duck, having fucked pretty freely of federal
brandy in the course of the day, called at the poll
of the fourth ward, and after offering to bet one
hundred dollars (without one cent in his pocket)
indited and assaulted Mr. Johnson, a Republican,
at leaf! 6o years of age. The poor infignificant
puppy,not finding Mr.Johnfon disposed to quarrel
challenged any democrat on the ground, when
much to his artouifhment, be found a young man
who footichallifed him and sent him home with
a bloody mouth to learn him better manners,
and keep him from getting drunk again. Oh
what fine federalifts—Oh that the times ot '9B and
'99 were agon returned, when in all probability,
^.Oliver Waldron. junior, might obtain a com
miifioned dagger to chanife Republicans.
A gentleman of Sweden was condemned to
fuffer death as a pumihmeut tor certain owners
committed bv himiu the discharge ot an impor
tant public office, winch he had filled f<u a num
her of years with an itregritv that had never be
fore .undergone either fafpicion or impeachment,
fps son a youth of about eighteen years ot age,
was no sooner apprized of the predicament to
which the wretched author of bis being was re
duced, than he flew to the Judge who h < Ipro
nounced the fatal decree, and throwing hoofer at
bis feet, prayed that lie might ne allowed to luff r
in the room of a father whom he adored, and
whole loss, he declared, it was impollible for him
-to survive.
The MugiUrate was thunderflruck at tills extra
ordinary procedure in the son, and could hardly
be perfitaded that he was sincere in it. Being at
length fatisfied, however, that the young man
actually wiihed for nothing more ardently than
to save his father's life,at the expence of his own.
be wrote an account of the wnole aHaii to il<
king ; and the consequence was that his Majetty
immediatley dispatched back the couriei, wit.
orders to grant a free pardon to the tattler, aud
to confer a title of honor on his incomparable son.
This last mark of royal favor however,the yom^
begged leave with all humanity to decline ; and
the motive tor lis refufal of it, was not less nomt
than the conduct by which he had deferred ;t,was
generous and dihntereiicd.
<f Os what avail," exclamed he, “ could the mod
exalted title be to me,humbled as my family ahea
dy is in the dull !--- Aus ! would it not serve but
as a monument to perpetuate in the minus oimy
countrymen the dreadful remembrance of a gathers
shame !"
Bis Majesty «&oaliy shed tears ? hen %s
magnanimous speech was reported to him ; and
fending for the heroic youth to court, he appointed
him diredly to the office of his private, confiden
tial secretary.

the deftrudne rage ot contagious diseases which
have prevailed in this town heretofore, we can
not willingly believe any person so dertitnte of a

Deeply imprTed with ideas that the health and
well being of all populous towns depend greatl,
upon the internal regulations of the citizens there
of ; and urged by our duty to notice particularly
every nuisance or any thing offeufive, v e earned),
requert all persons to be careful in creating of
fensive matter, and to life eveiy exertion in des
troying whatever tends to endanger the lives and
health of their neighbours.
We in a particular manner request that all
vaults of privies may be cleaned, by the fifteenth
of the enfiiing month, as the approaching warm
weather will render it mere dangerous and of
