Firstly, Preserve your WOOD, at it
grows Scarce even in new towns; if more
attention is not paid to this important con
cern for time to come, in fifty years great
part of the people will fuffer extremely for
want of fuel. I am'alarmed for posterity,
when I confide, how the wood has been
lessened in the left fort, years. It is high
time to plant trees on ever, part of the

ODE to the HYPO.
IT AIL Hypochondria, hope-destroy
ing power.
At thine approach my spirits droop and
lower,,
A magic charm attends thy presence still,
Which keeps alive the hope thou deign'ft
to kill.
A sickly charm, I wean.
Dark, four, emaciate and lean ;
Making life a scene of woe,
Not unlike th' abyss below ,
Still beaming on these gloomy realms of
~ ni ght,,
A few, faint, glimmering, feature, rays
of light.
Hail dreary phantom—vifitantof old,
Thy meagre presence, none with joy be
hold.-
Hail then thou goddefs—haftc—make no
delay, .- .
Take thy departure ere thou deign'ft to
Ray ;
Thy poisonous touch—each lively joy
Benumbs, and eke thy lipa destroy.
Thy voice with hoarse, difeordaot tone,
Pours to the wind, the woe thou feel'll a
lone.
While nightly visions hover round,
Lift'sing to thy joyless found ;
Now they dance in ev'ry form,
Mounted on the midnight form,
When November's gloomy car descends,
Bearing fad tidings of far distant friends.
'Tis then thy haggard, glaring ghastly
eyes
Expand.—ln motion flow arid solemn dost
thou rife ;
With couotlefs fpcdrei moving in thy
train,
To haunt ' the mansions of thy cheerless
reign.
D'rk frowns thy brows enshroud,
Thy face an angry cloud
O'erfpreads with looks of wild despair,
Careless, floating, loose, difhevelled hair,
Dancing lightly 'to the palling gale,
Wh/jfe hollow, whiffling found, thy ears
assail:
With fhrivell'd lips respiring lurid breath,
And fcatt'ring famine, pestilence and
death. (flight—
Now all my friends I ffiun, and take my
Driving each human objrd from my fight,
My fancy wanders o'er the frozen heath,
And dwells with rapture on the thoughts
of death.
With unrelenting hand they wield,
Disconsolation's pondrous Shield ;
Withjnfult, jeer, and ridicule.
They brand me wi'h the name of fool.
Now to the dark abva, below,
Where hell's foul region meet my fight,
My fancy takes her hasty flight.
And fees with horror fiery rivers flow :
While o'er the Stream—for some remitlefs
Hail Tweet Compassion ! Kind compla
cent maid—
On balmy pinions fwiftly fly.
And lend thy genial aid,
To sooth my borrows and my spirits raise.
Look down, kind goddess, with benig
nant smile—
My gloomy caret, and grounding fears
beguile ;
Then bear me willing,to thy native sky,
To join thy train, and grateful sing thy
praise.
From the Independent Chronicle.
Messrs. Adams & LarKin.
HAVING for more than, half a cen
tury made attentive observations on the
ways of men and the concerns of life, I
with to communicate what may be benefit
cial to my country.
TO FARMERS.
(in,
I quake with dread, left Satan plunge
me in.
To lacerate my tortur'd mind ;
I fee my friends, and foes combin'd,
lands not otherwise improved—the prfares
and mowing land in general would be the
better for many more trees ; rows should
be planted by all the fences &c. Re
member time travels faft, and trees grow
flow ; therefore ye landholders up and be
doing.
Secondly, To increase your crops, re
member often plowing % the fame as ma
nure Increase the growth of POTA
TOES—they have enriched our country
—they supply the place of bread, they
feed cattle, sheep, hogs, herfes and poul
try, when boiled. They are a source of
wealth to the farmer.
Thirdly, In politics, as in religion,
think and confider well before you ad ;
the bold pretenders to patriotism are often
as hollow hearted as free thinkers in reli
gion, and as dangerous to follow D
not hastily distrust old friends and faithful
rulers, under whose guidance our country
has prospered. It is dangerous to make
experiments while we are profperuus. —
Faults in government there always was,
and will be, but before we change our ru
lers let us confider well whether we Shah
not risk more by a chance, than we are
likely to gain ; : especially at this time when
the world is so dreadfully convulsed, and
too many in our country are embracing
wild notions in religion and government.
Ever, thing considered our government is
certain!' mote free, and the people more
happy, than any other in the known world.
Therefore let us be thankful to GOD, be
sober & very deliberate in all our condua,
as it is much easier to destroy tha # . to build
rUpon a good government. Europe presents
an awful lesson to America, to be cool,Steady,
virtuous, and wife,and to preserve our ex
cellent constitution ; to continue, if possi
ble, at peace among ourfelvcs and with the
world.
FIFE DOLLARS RETARD.
ESCAPED from the Sheriffs custody,
on the night of the 21st inst. a fel
low taken upon suspicion of Horse Heat
ing, who called his name WILLIAM
MORELAND —He is about gs feet
high, grim built, a iharp grey eye, and
a remarkable sprightly fellow—by all ac
counts is a noted villain.—Whoever will
take up said fellow and return him to the
subscriber, or confine him so that he may
be had, shall be entitled to the above re
ward and all.neceffary charges.
JOSEPH CASS, D. Sheriff.
Richmond, o#. 34, 1794,
Great GOD ! Pour down a spirit of
wisdom and true religion upon the Ame
rican people, and make them the patrons
of every virtue, and a praise in the whole
earth ! Amen.
Thirdly, Attend to your APPLE
TREES. For many years pad I seldom
fee a young nursery of appletrees ; and
the old orchards are faft decaying. At
tend more to orchards ; they will grow in
old lands, if well ploughed, and due care
taken of the trees ; in this way old or
chards may be renewed.
Fourthly, Keep more fhcep on your dry
lands, no creature a are so profitable. Ev
ery farmer if possible should raise wool
and flax {efficient to clothe bis family ;
he that buys the produce of other coun
tries, will have an empty purse.
Secondly, In religion, depart not too
hastily from the good old way of your fa
thers, unless ypu are well affared a change
of sentiment and practice will make you
more virtuous and better men. The heart
and life are matt to be regarded. When
you are told by free thinkers, falfely so
called, that the BIBLE is no further to be
regarded than its precepts accord with your
.deas of propriety, and all men will in the
,fe to come be equally happy ; pause and
confider whether bad men do not fuffer in
this world for their folly and vices, and
,ou can have no assurance that the fame
<ices will not produce misery in the next.
Observation will convince you that those
celled free thinkers or deists, are not me r
jf deep thought or serious refleaion, but
are generally giddy light minds who think
little of eternal concern.
See that you do not trade too much, by
which means many are imbarratfed and
many ruined. Regard truth, honor, and
punauality, infinitely more than gain—
thofe will gain.
