MY GOOD SIR,
I HAVE read with attention
and improvement, your Ef
fays> I ^m pleased with them:
But really Sir, I think you
take off us females rather too
often. Do the men always
" work it right ?" 1 think they
do not. As well as yourfelf
I abominate fluttery—-But is
there no such thing as sloven
liness ? On this score feme
thing fevers might be said.—•
So there might on foppery. —■
Do the apprentice-boys, work
it right, who set an hour and
- an half under the hair-dresser's
hands —and spend an equal
portion of time, every d^y in
adjusting their beau-knots,
and shoe-strings—whilst they
thereby neglect their maker's
The fragrant meads, the verdent (hades,
, No more can charm my eyes ;
The snowy lambkin's beauty fades,
And. ev'ry flow'ret dies.
Aik gliding waters if a tear
j Os mine increas'd their stream ;
And a& the puffing gales if e'er
I lent a sigh to them.
With careiefs ease I pafs'd along,
, Unmindful where ! ftray'd;
And listen to the.woodlark's song;
Or with the lambkins play'd.
but now those scenes, no more delight,
, My.fighs the zephyrs bear,
And ey'rv murmuring stream that flows,
Receives a falling tear.
The only place I can recline,
Is in the solemn grove ; •
There gloom and nlence both combine,
to sooth my hopeless love.
Yet is not Henry, lovlieft youth !
Form'd to allure the mind ?
Has he not beauty, goodness, truth,
With manly foftnefs join'd ?
MY days were once so wond'rous free,
The little birds that fly
With sprightly notes frdm tree to tree,
Were scarce as.bleft as I,
Too bright, alas ! his virtues shine,
Too bright for my repose ;
Since Henry never can be mine,
My heart no solace knows.

But neighbours balance such kind wishes ;
Your farm may be a pond for fifties—
Provided the propitious Ikies,
With copious fhow'rs, yon hill supplies.
Thus fares it with the Banking scheme,
(Perhaps 'tis but the author's Whim)
Proted the interest of a Stare,
And leave the UNION to its fate.
THE floods that deluge all the plait,
Enrich the bill with loads of grain ;
While, funs that parch the rifa, foil,
But make the fertile rallies smile.
My farm this blooming meadow fills.
And drinks the rain from yonder hills—
Still, O ye Gods, in showers bestow
Just rain enough to make it grow,

MISCELLAN)Ti
A SPIRITED adventurer
played so deeply in a late lot
tery, as that a great part of
his time, tlib'ts and conver
sation were anxiously employ
ed about the important event,
which was soon to determine
his fortune, and rank in life.
One morning, having calcula
ted the chances, as the wheel
then flood, he found there
were only 60i i chances against
one, in favour of his drawing
the highest prize : this dilco
very.cheered his spirits, as he
found he was then three times
nearer being a gentleman of
fortune than When the draw
ing firft began. Upon his
going out,he met an acquain
tance in the street, whom he
accosted in the following man^
ner, " Well fir, how do you
make out in the lottery ?"
The other replied, "I have
nothing to do with Lotteries
—I have not bought a tick
et for many years past."
"Strange," fays the adventur
er, " what is your reason for
it, fir ?" The other replied,
" When I was a child, I was
fond of enterprize, therefore,
sometimes I gamed with mar
bles, as a cb&fometimes with
coppers, as a child, and some
times I bought tickets in pin
lotteries, as a child: but when
I became a man, 1 put away
childifo things."
THE fubferibet begs leave
to inform the Public, That he car
ries on CLOCK-MAKING, at his (hop
in E„ter. As he has done lomeihing at
the Byfinefs for feverai years past, he
now flatters himfeif of having a thorough
knowledge of it—and while he. is endea
vouring to promote so ufeful an Art, he
reqoefts the particular encouragement
of hjsFriends and Cullomers.

either largepr small Eight-day CLOCKS

their kind parents are pinch

Do Legiilators work it right,
when they eftablifli Lotteries
—which for every dollar rais
ed is the occasion of the dead
loss to the community, of

habits, continual anxieties,
and sometimes total ruin ? I
