1. The biped animal Man ; may peace virtue
and happmefs be his distinguished character.
2. The American people ; may they be as pre
eminent among the nations of the earth, as the
canopy we fit beneath, furpafles the fabric of the
mouse. ( Yankee doodle.)
3. Agriculture : In 'conftituting the pride and
riches of our country, may its rewards be as a
bundant as this fruit* was unexpected.
4. The constitution of the United States ; may
" its ribs be as ribs of brass, and its backbone as
molted iron." Job 40. (Hail Columbia.)
5. The Arts and Sciences: Nursed in a genial
' foil and faltered with tender care, may their hon
ors prove as durable as the power which surrounds
us.

WRITTEN BY A LADY
IN A THUNDER STORM.
SWIFT fleet the billowy clouds along the iky.
Earth seems to Ihudder at the ftorni aghast ;
While only beings as forlorn as 1,
Court the chill horrors of the howling blast.
E'en round yon crumbling walls,in search of food,
The ravenous owl forgets his evening flight ;
And in his cave within the deepest wood,
The fox eludes the tempest of the night :=
But to my heart congenial is the gloom
Which hides me from a world I wish to fhun —
That f'cene where ruin saps the mouldering tomb.
Suits with the sadness of a wretch undone.
Nor is the darkest shade, the keenest air,
Black as my fate, or cold as my despair.
The night flood rakes upon the stony shore,
Along the rugged cliffs, and chalky caves ;
Mourns the hoarse ocean, seeming to deplore
All that lie buried in his restless waves.
Min'd by corrosive tides, the hollow rock
Falls prone ; and, rushing front its turfy height,
Shakes the broad beach, with loud resounding
shock,
Loud thundering on the ear of sullen night.—
Above the desolate and stormy deep,
Gleams the wan moon by floating mills op
prefs'd ;
Yet here, while youth, and health, and labourjleep,
Alone I wander :—Calm untroubled rest.
Natures foft nurse, defects the sigh fwoll'n bread,
And flies the wretch, who only wakes to weep.
WILLIAM BOWLES,
Painter & Glazier,
Refpe&fully informs the public in
general that he has taken a Ihop in

SIGN OF THE PAINT-POT,
Inhere he carries on the
Painting &>Glazing business

ous public.
He has for fale'
All kinds of PAINTS, dry
or ground in oil, for ship or country use,
which will be put up at the shortest notice.

6. The brains of Freemen, may they never be
so barracaded by the fackafs bones of opposition
as to cruth their native energy.
7. The friends of peace—to all else, such bones

Itarve their hungry maws. (Jefferfon's march.)
8. All honest men If they cannot feaft in the
breast of a Mammoth, may their own prove large

modefty.'
10. The present company.—May their second

followed by every blessing .of peace.
