From the Hon. Mr. Hopkins's Songs, (Just published in Philadelphia.)
S O N G VIII.
THE traveler benighted and lost, O'er the mountain pursues his lone way; The stream is all candy'd with frost And the icicle hangs on the spray, He wanders in hopes some kind shelter to find Whilst through the sharp hawthorn still blows the cold wind.
II.
The tempest howls dreary around And rends the tall oak in its flight; Faint falls the cold snow on the ground, And dark is the gloom of the night. Lone wanders the traveler a shelter to find Whilst through the sharp hawthorn still blows the cold wind.
III.
No comfort the wild woods afford, No shelter the traveler can see— Far off are his bed and his board And his home, where he wishes to be. His hearth's cheerful blaze still engages his mind Whilst through the sharp hawthorn keen blows the cold wind.
THE FOLLOWING PORTRAIT OF A BASHFUL MAN, Is taken from a Publication, called VARIET Y.
The simplicity and force of humor with which it is drawn, certainly give it a peculiar claim to merit.
YOU must know, says the writer, "That, in my person, I am tall and thin, with a fair complexion, and light flaxen hair; but of such extreme sensibility of frame that, on the smallest subject of confusion, my blood all rushes into my cheeks, and I appear a perfect full blown rose." Having been sent to the university by his father, a farmer of no great property, the consciousness of his unhappy failing made him avoid society, and he became enamoured of a college life. But from that peaceful retreat he was called by the death of his father, and of a rich uncle, who left him a fortune of thirty thousand pounds. He now purchased an estate in the country; and his company was much courted by the surrounding families especially by such as had marriageable daughters. Though he wished to accept their offered friendship, he was forced repeatedly to excuse himself, under the pretence of not being quite settled; for often, when he had rode or walked with full intention of returning their visits, his heart had failed him as he approached their gates, and he had returned homeward, resolved to try again next day. Determined, however, at length, to conquer his timidity, he accepted of an invitation to dine with one, whose open, easy manner, left him no room to doubt a cordial welcome. But the relation of this eventful visit must be given in his own words.
"Sir Thomas Friendly, who lives about two miles distant, is a baronet, with about two thousand pounds a year estate, joined to the estate I possessed; he has two sons and five daughters, all grown up, and living with their mother and a maiden sister of Sir Thomas's, at Friendly-hall, dependent on their father. Conscious of my unpolished gait, I have for some time past taken private lessons of a professor, who teaches grown gentlemen to dance; and tho' I at first found wonderful difficulty in the art he taught, my knowledge of the mathematics was of prodigious use in teaching me the equilibrium of my body, and the due adjustment of the center of gravity to the five positions. Having now acquired the art of walking without tottering, and learned to make a bow, I boldly ventured to obey the baronet's invitation to a family dinner, not doubting but my new acquirements would enable me to see the ladies with tolerable intrepidity; but alas! how vain are all the hopes of theory, when unsupported by habitual practice. As I approached the house, a dinner bell alarmed my fears; lest I had spoiled the dinner by want of punctuality! Impressed with this idea, I blushed the deepest crimson, as my name was repeatedly announced by the several livery servants, who ushered me into the library, hardly knowing what or whom I saw. At my first entrance I summoned all my fortitude, and made my new-learned bow to lady Friendly; but unfortunately in bringing back my left foot to the third position, I trod upon the gouty toe of poor Sir Thomas, who had followed close at my heels to be the nomenclator of the family. The confusion this occasioned in me is hardly to be conceived, since none but bashful men can judge of my distress; and of that description the number I believe is very small. The baronet's politeness by degrees dispelled my concern, and I was allowed to see how far good breeding could enable him to suppress his feeling, and to appear with perfect ease after so painful an accident.
"The chearfulness of her ladyship, and the familiar chat of the young ladies, insensibly led me to throw off my reserve and inexpressiveness, till at length I ventured to join in the conversation, and even to start fresh subjects. The library being richly furnished with elegant bindings, I conceived Sir Thomas to be a man of literature, and ventured to give my opinion concerning the several editions of the Greek classics, in which the baronet's opinion perfectly coincided with my own. To this subject I was led by observing an edition of Xenophon in sixteen volumes, which (as I had never before heard of such a thing) greatly excited my curiosity, and I rose up to examine what it could be. Sir Thomas saw what I was about, and, as I suppose, willing to save me the trouble, rose to take down the book, which made me more eager to prevent him, and hastily laying my hand on the first volume, I pulled it forcibly; but lo! instead of books, a board, which by leather and gilding had been made to look like sixteen volumes, came tumbling down, and unluckily pitched upon a wedgewood inkstand on the table under it. In vain did Sir Thomas assure me there was no harm; I saw the ink streaming from an inlaid table, on the Turkey carpet; and, scarce knowing what I did, attempted to stop its progress with my cambric handkerchief. In the height of this confusion we were informed that dinner was served up, and I with joy perceived that the bell, which at first had so alarmed my fears, was only the half-hour dinner-bell.
"In walking through the hall and suite of apartments to the dining-room, I had time to collect my scattered senses, and was desired to take my place between lady Friendly and her eldest daughter at the table. Since the fall of the wood-
en Xenophon, my face had been continually burning like a fire brand, and I was just beginning to recover myself, and to feel comfortably cool, when an unlooked for accident rekindled all my heat and blushes. Having set my plate of soup too near the edge of the table, in bowing to Miss Dinah, who politely complimented the pattern of my waistcoat, I tumbled the whole scalding contents into my lap. In spite of an immediate supply of napkins to wipe the surface of my cloaths, my black silk breeches were not stout enough to save me from the painful effects of this sudden fermentation, and for some minutes my legs and thighs seemed stewing in a boiling caldron; but recollecting how Sir Thomas had disguised his torture, when I trod upon his toe, I firmly bore my pain in silence, and sat with my lower extremities parboiled, amidst the stifled giggling of the ladies and servants.
"I will not relate the several blunders which I made during the first course; or the distress occasioned by my being desired to carve a fowl, or help to various dishes that stood near me, spilling a sauce-boat, and knocking down a salt-feller; rather let me hasten to the second course, "where fresh disasters over-whelmed me quite."
"I had a piece of rich sweet pudding on my fork, when Miss Louisa Friendly begged to trouble me for a pigeon that stood near me; in my haste, scarce knowing what I did, I whipped the pudding into my mouth, hot as a burning coal; it was impossible to conceal my agony; my eyes were starting from their sockets. At last, in spite of shame and resolution, I was obliged to drop the cause of torment on my plate. Sir Thomas and the ladies compassionated my misfortunes, and each advised a different application; one recommended oil, another water, but all agreed that wine was best for drawing out the fire, and a glass of sherry was brought me from the side-board, which I snatched up with eagerness: But, Oh! how shall I tell the sequel? Whether the butler by accident mistook, or purposely designed to drive me mad, he gave me the strongest brandy, with which I filled my mouth, already steed and blistered. Totally unused to every kind of ardent spirits, with my tongue, throat and palate as raw as beef, what could I do? I could not swallow; and clapping my hands upon my mouth, the cursed liquor squirted through my nose and fingers like a fountain, over all the dishes, and I was crushed with bursts of laughter from all quarters.
"In vain did Sir Thomas reprimand the servants, and lady Friendly chide her daughters; for the measure of my shame and their diversion was not yet complete. To relieve me from the intolerable perpetration which this accident had caused, without considering what I did, I wiped my face with that ill-fated handkerchief which was still wet from the consequences of the fall of Xenophon, and covered all my face with streaks of ink in every direction. The baronet himself could not support this shock, but joined his lady in the general laugh; while I sprung from the table in despair, rushed out of the house, and ran home in an agony of confusion and disgrace, which the most poignant sense of guilt could not have excited."
PHILADELPHIA, December 18.
It appears, on the close of the election, that the hon. Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg, of Montgomery; Henry Wynkoop, of Bucks; Thomas Hartley, of York; George Clymer and Thomas Fitzsimons, of Philadelphia; Peter Muhlenberg, of Montgomery; Daniel Heister, of Berks; and Thomas Scott, of Washington, esqrs, are duly elected representatives of the people of Pennsylvania, in the Congress of the United States. Two of these gentlemen were members of the federal convention, six of them were adopting members of the state convention. All of them have been elected before to public employments by the voice of the people, and all are friends of the new constitution.
At a meeting of the board of managers of the Pennsylvania Society for the encouragement of manufactures and the useful arts, held at the Dispensary on the 2d day of July, 1788.
The committee, to whom it was referred to determine the comparative merit of the two specimens exhibited for the premium referred to be given for the best specimen of letter-press made report.
"That after having considered the nature of the office intrusted to them, it has appeared to them to be the intention of the board, that as well the elegance of the type, as the accuracy of the printer's work, should be the objects of the premium; but that the quality of the paper, provided it was manufactured in Pennsylvania, was not to determine the adjudication.
"Of the two specimens produced, that executed in the German language by Messrs. Stiener, Albrecht, and Lahn, of Lancaster, the title of which is "Das Furbilde der heilseinen Worten vorn Glauben, und Liebe, &c." appears to them best entitled to the premium."
Whereupon resolved, That the premium offered by this board on the 16th day of November last, be granted to Messrs. Stiener, Albrecht and Lahn, Printers, of Lancaster, for the best specimen of letter-press exhibited.
Extract from the Minutes, Per JOSEPH B. M'KEAN, Sec.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 22.
Yesterday as the new Pilot Boat, called the New-York, was sailing in the river, near Governors Island, a flaw of wind took her across the beam, and in an instant overset her. There was eight persons on board when this accident happened, but were all fortunately saved by the timely assistance of some hands, who were dispatched from another pilot boat that was in company with her.
On Friday arrived the sloop Brilliant, Smith, from Cadiz, in 67 days:—and On Saturday, the Schooner New-York Packet, Barnard, from Boston.
Same day cleared out on the custom-house, the ship George, Hunter, for Glasgow; brig William Henry, Quinn, Dominica; Dolphin, Bowers, Cape-Francois; sloop Cato, Cracken, Liverpool; Maria, Elliot, Charleston; and Newbern Packet, Sandy, Newbern.
The election of representatives for the state of Maryland in the Congress of the United States is to commence the first Wednesday in January next. The state is divided into six districts, four on the western shore and two on the eastern shore, viz.
1st district. St. Mary's, Charles and Calvert counties. 2d. Kent, Talbot, Cecil and Queen-Ann's. 3d Anne Arundel and Prince George. 4th. Baltimore and Harford. 5th Somerset, Dorchester, Worcester and Caroline. 6th. Frederick, Washington and Montgomery. Each district to choose one representative, a resident of that district, and to vote for five others, resident in each of the other districts.
The legislature of North-Carolina (which met at Fayette Ville on the 3d of last month) have re-elected his excellency, Samuel Johnson, Esq. governor of that state for the year ensuing.
The Wilmington (N. C.) Centinel of the 3th ult. mentions, "That the propriety of calling a
new convention, it is said, would be among the earliest deliberations of the legislature of North Carolina." The same paper advises, that "Petitions were in circulation in Salisbury, and Morgan districts, to be presented to the assembly, for calling a new convention, which were signed by all ranks of people with the greatest avidity."
Extract of a letter from Washington county, dated Nov. 6, 1788.
"The Indians have been very troublesome in these parts all the summer and fall.—They at one time killed 16 men out of a company of 34 rangers that were out on duty—and at another time, very lately, a body of 4 or 500 attacked a fort on the frontiers, and took it, in which there were between 40 and 50 persons. The Indians destroyed the fort, and agreeable to their usual inhuman disposition, they either burned or barbarously butchered all, without any respect to age or sex. These, with a number of other murders, have rendered our frontiers a scene of horror, for some time past."
Extract of a letter from Georgetown, Potowomack, dated Dec. 2.
"On the 29th ult. came through the Shanadore Falls, a boat 60 feet keel, with 90 barrels of flour; the boat belongs to a Capt. Brady, who came down to Mr. Crawford's or Mrs. Hawkins's landing, above the Great Falls, and this day the flour is brought to this town. The said Capt. Brady informs me he came down from Shanadore Falls, to the Great Falls in about eight hours and a half, the distance supposed to be 70 miles—and he said Capt.

ELECTUARY For destroying Worms in children and grown Persons.
THE Proprietor informs the Public that he has received a supply of the very best ingredients with which this Electary is compounded, and as complaints were made that the last, sold by the Proprietor was not good, the Proprietor assures the Public it must have been owing to the principal article in the composition being too old, they now may be supplied with it as usual, at Mr. Wainwright's Store, warranted good by the Proprietor. Experience, the best criterion to go by, evinces the Electary the best preparation yet discovered for the uses expressed in its title. The ready sale it has heretofore met with, is a proof of its success, and requires little farther commendation. Sure that it so effectually kills the worms, that they are seldom or never brought away alive, but mostly jelly'd or like humors occasioned by colds. Pots at 4/ with printed directions as above.

COAL TAR.
A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square.
The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New York, April 26, 1788.
WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, oneayed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as found and fresh as when put down.
From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crossfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

Specific Solution.
PROVED fully (even in this city) to be the easiest and most effectual remedy ever yet discovered for the cure of the Venereal Disease, to be had only at No. 79, opposite No. 9, Cherry-street.
The terms of (no cure no pay) on which this valuable medicine was first offered, afforded an opportunity, by fair trials, of proving its efficacy numbers have experienced its virtues within a very short space of time, and many could vouch for its quick effects were it admissible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea. The discovery is entirely new, and asserted to be free from any Mercurial preparation whatever.
Persons travelling either by land or water, may have it put up for them with printed directions, on notice of half an hour. Sept. 25.
Mutual Assurance Company of the City of New-York,
For the purpose of insuring Houses and other Buildings in the said city from loss by FIRE.
THE Directors again recommend this institution to the particular attention of their fellow-citizens, and are happy to inform them that from the encouragement it has met with there is no doubt but that it will effectually answer the end proposed—to wit, A certain relief for a very trifling consideration to the parties who shall sustain a loss by fire.
Those persons, and particularly widows, whose support is derived from the rents of houses, are earnestly requested to consider how precarious their situation is, and how soon they may be reduced from a comfortable income to absolute indigence, notwithstanding their utmost care. This institution affords a sure asylum to them in case of distress, and by availing themselves of it, they will relieve their minds from great anxiety.
Administrators and guardians of property in houses will seriously reflect whether they do not expose themselves to heavy censure in case of accidents, if they neglect to secure the property entrusted to their care by every prudent means in their power. This office presents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and support. The benefits of the institution, in short, apply to every class of citizens in general, who will do well to consider that if they neglect partaking of the till an accident happens, the bare-faced improvidence there would be in seeking relief from the bounty of their fellow citizens, when their own prudence ought to have secured it to them.
It is almost needless to add what is evident to every person, that the greater certainty of success depends upon the extensive number of the company, and those who are parties to it will for their own sakes use their influence to convince others of its utility.
The chief difficulties that inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a tenfold diminution of the risk.
SKETCH of the Rates and Conditions of Insurance.
FIRST RATE. THAT for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone, with party-walls carried twelve inches or upwards above the roof, and covered with tiles, slate, copper, or other safe materials, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium 3s. deposit, 12s. total, 15s.
SECOND RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, built of brick or stone, covered with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, but without such party-walls as above described, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 4s. deposit, 16s. total, 20s.
THIRD RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone up to the roof, but covered partly with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, and partly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5s. deposit, 1s. total, 1s. 5.
FOURTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6s. deposit, 1s. 4. total, 1s. 10.
FIFTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed house, and other buildings, with brick or stone fronts, and the sides filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 7s. deposit, 1s. 8. total, 1s. 15.
SIXTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8s. deposit, 1s. 12. total, 2s.
SEVENTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10s. deposit, 2s. total, 2s. 10s.
The expense therefore of insuring five hundred pounds for seven years, on a building as described in the fifth rate, which comprehends the greatest proportion of houses in this city, will appear as follows:
Premium on £. 500 at 7s. per cent. £. 1 15 0 Deposit, at 2s. 6d. per cent. 7 0 0 Policy and badge, 0 10 0 £. 9 5 0
If the amount of the premiums is found sufficient to pay the losses by fire, and the incident expenses of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is 7 0 0
Which shews the expense of insuring £. 500 for seven years may not, in all probability, exceed two pounds five shillings; a small cost for securing said sum for such length of time.
No sugar-house, brew-house, bake-house, still-house, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or businesses following are carried on, viz. chymists, ship chandlers, tallow chandlers, stable-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or colemens; or which are used as stores for hazardous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, rosin, gunpowder, shingles, hay, straw, fodder of all kinds, and corn unthreshed, will be insured, but on such terms only as the directors shall specially agree.
Any person applying to the secretary of this office for insurance, must deposit twenty shillings for each policy, to defray expenses of survey, &c. which will be allowed in part of such insurance when made, but on default, will be forfeited to the company.
As the Mutual Assurance Company is established on principles of reciprocal advantage, without attending to the interest of any individual, it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaid within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD, Secretary. No. 57, King-street.
December 2, 1788. tm.
