POETRY.
ODE'
Sung at the sixth Anniversary,
OF TH/£
NEW-YORK BELLES LETTRES CLUB,
On Saturday Evening, January 5, 1805.
SWELL, swell the cheerful song,
Let echo still prolong
The strains that hail our natal day :
That day, when first with friendship warm'd.
Our hearts .this social union form'd.
Full many a year has sped its flight,
While we, with every fresh delight
Have well improved youth's roseate hours,
And learning's'wreath entwin'd with, flowers ;
Exhaustless may our friendship be,
Firm as the rock that braves the sea ;
Our solace 'mid a world of strife,
Our shelter from the storms of life.
The power Supreme, that reigns above,
The great—unwa^ting source of love,
Approves those virtuous, social ties ;
Oh ! may they be our boast and pride
As long as life's warm currents glide ;
And oft may Memory fondly cast
Her mellow beams on pleasures past
While Fancy o'er the future flies,
And gilds our prospects as they rise :
• Exhaustless ma, our friendship be,
Firm as the rock that braves the sea :
: Our solace 'mid a world of strife,
Our shelter from the storms of life,"
Yet pause those notes of joy: #
Let grief our hearts employ,,
For brothers sunk in death's repose.
But late, like vernal flowers they grew.
So rich alas as transient too ;
May no unhallowed hand molest
The lowly pillow where they rest ;
But morn with early dew drops lave
The turf that wraps each youthful grave.
Soon as this dream of life is o'er,
We meet again to part no more :
Where pure as Heaven, shall ever glow
Those fond attachments form'd below.
« The sigh is breath'd, the tear is shed,
Affection's sacred tribute paid,
Again let mirth tertpowers resume ;
Let pleasure's soul enlivening smile.
With wit and song the hours beguile;
And ever as the sparkling glass
'Around this festive board we pass
With rapture each this wish impart,
The generous offspring of the heart ;
Exhau^tless may our friendship be,
Firm as the rock that braves the sea;
Our solace 'm^ a world of strife,
Our shelter fr&ithe ^torm of lifc

Portsmouth, April 27, 1805.
The inhabitants of the town of Ports
mouth, are requested to notice, and
oblerve the following Regulations,
made and published agreably to law ;
for the preservation of health in the
town.
A LL perfoms having vaults overflowing, or
whose contents are fa hear the furface of*
the earth as to be a nuisa nce, or having stagnated
waters in cellars, dung in heaps, or filth in or a
bout their yards, barn§ or houses, are to have such
nuifauces removed immediately, before the warm
weather shall commence. It is the with of the
health Committee, to save trouble to such persons,
and to themlelves, but the cleanliness and health
of the Town must be provided for, and if such
nuisances are not removed within thirty days from
this day, they will be removed as the Law direds.
And it is requested, that information be given of
filth left in any part of the town, such information
will be thankfully received, and the way it came
will be concealed.
State of New-Hampshire. Rockingham, ss.
Portsmouth, April 15, 1805.
We the subscribers, do approve of the foregoing
regulations.
SAMUEL PENHALLOW, ) Justicescf the Peace
R. CUTTS SHANNON, ) and of the Quorum.
No dead animal, offensive futrfhnce, or fitthof
any kind is to be left in any streets, lanes, alleys,
or on any wharf or dock, and every person offend
ing in this particular must exped to be prosecut
ed and fined.
And in regard to Quarantine—
The Health Committee have found that the
health of the inhabitants has been greatly endan
gered, and the town has fuffered much in time*
past, from deceit praaifed, and filfe answers given
by vessels arriving at the Port, when hailed from
the Fort. It was therefore thought proper and ne.
ceffary in the year 1803, when Quarantine com
menced, that all vessels from the Wefblndia
Tflands, the Dutch and Spanish main, from the
Streights of Gibraltar, and from ports within
them, or from any port or place where any conta
gious distempers Should in fa& be prevalent, should
—on their arrival at this port, immediately come to
anchor for infpeaion; that the lives and health
of the citizens might not be endangered by infec
tion brought to town. The commanding officer
at Fort Constitution was to bring all such vessels
to an anchor, and hoist a red flag as a Signal for the
Health Committee to repair on board, or fend
some suitable person or persons on board, for the
purpose of iofpe&ion and examination.—These
regulations were made and carried into execution ;
careful examination took place on the part of the
Health Officers. In cases where no sickness had
taken place during the voyage, and no infeßion
apprehended, the vessels had permits to come di
redly up to the town— Where infeaion was found,
or justly fufpeaed to be on board, or where sick
ness was or had been on board, or death during the
v °y a ge, the vessels were carefully Imoaked and
cleansed, and when fufficiently purified, permission
was given them to come 'up to town, or go else
where at their pleasure. The fame orders and reg
ulations were continued, were in force and duly
executed the year past, and will be continued and
ftriaiv enforced the current year ; and if any mas.
ter, officer, or any person on board any Ship or
vessel that shall arrive at this harbour, from any
ports or places before mentioned, after the rgh
day of May next, and before the firfl day of Nov
ember next, shall be guilty of giving afalfe feport
when hailed at the Callie, or (hall come up to the
town, or fuffer any of the people, or any passenger
to go on shore, or fliall fuffer any perlon to go
on board any such veff-1, or carry or fuffer any
thing to be carried on shore therefrom, before be
ing visited and infpeded as aforefaid, every person
So offending, shall be dealt with as the law directs.
