THE WORD <<SACK,
REMAINS in alllanguaghifyrly the fame, &
carries with it the fame meaning for which the
following whimsical reason iegiven by Emanuel,
a Jewilh Poet who lived at Rome near 700 years
ago.,
« The workmen employed in building the tow
er of Babel, fays he, bad, like our moderns, each a
sack, to put,their little matters in/rtVthe confafion
of tongues, every one was for making off; and
nothing was heard butV sack I sack ! sack !”.
In a eountry party during the summer, a young
lady declared in a careless laughing manner, that
ihe would certainly bring (hort petticoats into
fafhion, that the town might fee what ankles die
had. " What think you said (he, to a certain wit
of the fashion of short petticoats ?" It is that par
ticular faction, madam, replied he that I should
admire above all others, and I care not to what
HEIGHT it is carried !"
STRANGE EFFECT OF JEALOUSY.
Judina was the faired and molt beautiful lady
of her time, that was to be found in the whole ci
ty of Rome ; (he was married to a rich man, but
hair brained and furious ; and he fufpe&ed her to
have fmali care of her honour, upon no other
ground than that he beheld her so excellent, and
so perfectly beautiful. One day, as the Hooped
down to pull off her (hoes, the cruel wretch, seiz
ed with a furious fit of jealousy, and difeovering
her wonderful white neck all open, suddenly drew
his fa ord: and at one blow fevered it from her
Shoulders.

Will give the highest price in CASH, for
Shipping Furs & Bees' Wax,
at his Store No. 5, on Langdon's Wharf.
Portsmouth, Dec. 9, 1800.
As Sadi was toiling, his Zelda was near him.
His children were failing and prattling before,
When the pirates appear, from his true love they
tear him, „
And drag to the yeffel poor Sadi the Moor.
The forlorn one rav'd loudly, her loft hulband
seeking, \
HU children, and friends, at a distance, were
fhricking,
Poor Sadi cried out, while his fad heart was break
ing,
Pity the sorrows of Sadi the Moor.
In spite of his plaint to the Galley they bore him.
His Zelda and children, to mourn and deplore,
At morn from his teverifh slumbers they tore him,
And with blows hardly treated poor Sadi the
Moor.
At night up aloft while the Hill "Moon was cloud
ing,
He heav'd a lad sigh, and fell dead from the
shrouding,
The sea was the grave of poor Sadi the Moor.
THE trees seem to fade, as the dear fpct I'm
viewing,
My eyes till with tears as I look at the door;
And fee the lov'd Cottage all finking in ruin,
The Cottage of Pea^e and Sadi the Moor ;
Poor Sadi was merciful, honed and cheerly,
His friends were his life, for he valued them dearly
And his sweet dark-ey'd Zelda, he lov'd her sin
cerely,
Hard was the fate of Poot Sadi the Moor.
Then let us all like brothers join'd,
In drifted bonds of union,
In politics of but one mind,
And pluribus inunum:
Sing, Yankee Doodle —we'll combine,
With hearts that glow with pleasure ;
To join our hands; huzza and ling,
Great Jefferson forever,
The Fed'rals, who with common mien.
And spirit accommodating ;
With for to be admitted in,
With fouls congratulating.
Sing, Yankee Doodle —let them come,
For they have seen their errors ;
And as ourselves, have now become,
The friends of equal rights firs.
