For the DAILY ADVERTISER.
STREPHON and NARCISSA. A LYRIC ODE.
O! could I woo the softest muse! Not deeds of arms or states, Nor wine's delights the theme I'd chuse, But sing our lovers' fates.
Late STREPHON loved, the nymph was fair, Her mind had beauties too; Swift through his powers the new-born care, In doubtful aspect flew.
His throbbing woe, with pleasure mixt, NARCISSA, blushing, saw; The shaft her guiltless eyes transfixed, Her hand alone can draw.
Nor here, less feeling souls, inquire From whence such woes can spring; Ah! hearts attuned to soft desire, Ye know the notes I sing.
No stores of wealth the fair to move, Beyond his due employ; His store of wealth, the tenderest love, Love! sweetest source of joy!
When called by heaven to special trust, The voice should be obeyed; And, to the shrine of love, 'tis just Some sacrifice be made.
Does grandeur, now, content impart? The loves, immortal, glow; We wisely prize a faithful heart Past all conferred below.
Thus thought the fair, nor feigned delay, But met his ardent mind, Regardless what the proud might say, Her answer, frank and kind.
Sublimed above the fluttering train, Who quickened fancy charms To languish for a splendid chain, Or spurn the virtuous arms.
"Yes! STREPHON, you possess my heart, "And what is all the rest!" Their speaking eyes, all else apart, Would soon pronounce them blest.
While each event, some, blessings brings, Admiring muse rehearse, The best are borne on the wings Of those we name adverse!
Long sought the swain a kindred soul, NARCISSA! charms his mind; Their hope aspires, past death's control, To live in love refined.
See winter flown, and softening skies Rejoice at nature's bloom; So bloomed the maid, and glad surprise Dispels the recent gloom.
The friendly dove, to Noah's breast, Thus banished joys restore; The drooping flower is so refreshed That sips the silver shower.
The hand which wakes the storm, can lay, The wearied bark relieve, And oft in life, a cloudy day Precedes a sunny eve.
These evening rays, which gild the stream, Thine eyes which mildly roll, These, loved NARCISSA, sweetly beam Thy smooth and milder soul.
Ye eyes, and streams, and rays, and flowers, And milk-white constant dove, Ye sweetly blend your beauteous powers, To paint her pious love.
Blest sensibility oft moves The sympathetic soul, Which like the trembling needle roves, 'Till, settling, points the pole:
Thus destined hearts attractive meet, Howe'er so wide they stray, And nuptial love, untainted sweet, Repays the chaste delay.
Still could I sweep the sounding lyre, Nor deeds of arms or states, Nor pomp of courts a note inspire, But found our lovers' fates.
Smile, happy pair, in every fate, Your fates you soar above; Sweet prelude to that perfect state Of Harmony and Love!
ABALARDA.

Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated April 16.
"Our advices from Maryland and Virginia, are very favorable, with respect to the adoption of the Federal Government. In the Convention of Maryland, 5-6ths of the members will concur, and in Virginia, a considerable majority is already attained, and will be increased, by the influence which the ratification of Maryland will naturally be attended with. I hope your State will not be so unwise, as to continue to oppose the general sentiment of the Union."
Extract of a letter from Baltimore, dated the 13th inst.
"We know it will give you pleasure to learn, that great part of the counties in this State returned federal members. The following is a list of those, whose elections are determined."
"Federal --- Worcester 4, Somerset 4, Dorset 4, Talbot 4, Caroline 4, Queen Ann's 4, Cecil 4, Baltimore town 2, City Annapolis 2, Montgomery 4, Frederick 4, Washington 2, Prince George's 4, St. Mary's 4."
"Anti-federal --- Harford 4, Baltimore County 4, this election will be disputed, Ann Arundel 4."
"52 federal, to 12 anti-federal."
Extract of a letter from Richmond, Virginia, dated April 4.
"The election for the Delegates to our State Convention is now over, and on enquiry, we are able to count a respectable majority, in favor of the New Constitution---amongst this number, is the virtuous MADISON---I am informed, that some counties are so convinced of the necessity of the adoption of the Constitution, that they are about to instruct their members so to do---Thus, my friend, your fears for Virginia are ill founded."
The lovers of the Drama are this evening to be entertained with that truly elegant and diverting Comedy, Love makes a man , or the Fops Fortune , by the famous Colley Cibber, and a new Farce, called the Banditti or the Castle of Andalusia , by the facetious author of the Poor Soldier , &c.
This excellent Play and Farce, no doubt, on a common occasion, would procure a good house, but it is expected it will be well filled, as the emoluments are to accrue to Mr. Wighell, who for some time has been lost to the stage, on account of a dangerous illness, from which it is hoped, he is sufficiently recovered, to take a part in the performance.
NASSAU, March 29.
The brig Nancy, Bowdoin, belonging to Rhode-Island, and bound thither from Surinam, on the 22d inst. got on shore at Abaco, between Chariot Sound and Duck Key; and was got off, by the assistance of a vessel from this port, the 26th inst.
The sloop Sea-flower, Chace, from Rhode-Island, for North-Carolina, after several severe gales, on the 4th inst. cut away her mast, being on her beam ends; after righting, bore away for this port---Spoke several vessels afterwards, received supplies from two of them, and arrived here yesterday.
BOSTON, April 12.
The experience of every revolving day, more and more speaks the necessity of the establishment of such a government, as will enable us to convince the world that we will not suffer any nation to insult us with impunity. Under our present government, our enemies act with us as they please, and while it exists, will continue so to do.---A recent instance of this truth, we have in an extract of a letter, received by a gentleman in this town yesterday, dated,
"Lake Champlain, March 18, 1788."
"Lord Dorchester has ordered the people ten miles on this side the Lines, to be enrolled with the militia of Canada; they are to chuse their officers next week, are to be governed by the laws of that province, and protected by the same. As soon as the ice on the lake breaks up, the ship Maria, is to come up the lake, ten miles, to keep up order and regulation, if necessary."
The total numbers of the several returns of votes for Governor, published in our last, are
For Governor. Hancock 4679. Gerry 329. A few votes for others not mentioned. In several other towns, for Governor, his Excellency John Hancock, had 1672 votes; and Hon. Mr. Gerry and others, 339 Hopkington, Groton, Grafton---Majority in favor of Gerry as Governor, and Warren, Lieutenant Governor.
To the Printer of the Daily Advertiser.
SIR, I Find that a medical correspondent in your yesterday's paper, has observed, that the only thing to give a check to the absorption of putrid or any other virus, when unfortunately it has become in contact with a cut finger or any other part of the human body that may have met with this contingency, is to make use immediately of an application of lunar caustic. I wish he had been kind enough to have prescribed the modus of confining it, for this is a matter of the greatest consequence, as it is an application that you cannot say to, thus far shalt thou go, and no farther. Indeed, notwithstanding this gentleman appears to have some idea of the laws of absorption, and knows that this process is performed by a system of vessels or tubes denominated absorbents; still he might for a few days have suspended his preventive; if it was for no other reason than that of the medical tribe lately having undergone a monstrous casualty, one that will I very much fear, continue too long rife. I shall, in answer to this eschaotic gentleman, offer a method for stopping the rapid progress of any virus which should have insinuated itself into a wound, which I think far superior, and one too that can be more easily attained, and that is a cutting instrument well known to surgeons by the appellation of scalper, which, in plain English, means any kind of iron instrument to make an incision, or to cut, shave or pare with. This instrument, to make it less wieldy, should be fixed by means of a spring in a case, then those who expose themselves to accidents, which this correspondent has asserted the chirurgic tribe repeatedly do, can always have a very simple impediment against the putrid matter in his pocket. Moreover, I have another very coercive objection to caustic, and that is, that it will, upon the shortest exposition to the atmosphere, prove itself possessed of very strong propensities to dissolve into its pristine state, therefore a very improper application, except in the hand of a medical man.
April 18.
To the Printer of the Daily Advertiser.
SIR, [Continued from Saturday's Paper.]
HE then proceeds to an expression of mine which almost immediately follows, viz. "These are the sentiments of experiences, that unerring teacher." To this he replies, "how the gentleman can deliberately advance a proposition, so directly contrary to the evidence of facts, himself must determine. The preservation of the Greek tongue till the present day, and the encouragement given to it, which he so bitterly laments, clearly confutes his assertion. The high estimation in which it was held by every accomplished, sensible man, amongst the ancients, is a decisive proof of its excellency." If, in this passage, we attempt to separate the clear proofs of the author, to confute my proposition, from what is mere verbalty; we will find the whole to be an assemblage of words, destitute of all argument. The great encouragement hitherto given to the Greek, he alleges as a proof or fact, to overturn my proposition. Let us see how far this will have the desired effect. I would wish to ask the gentleman, whether even he supposes the study of it to be as much in vogue now, as it was a century or two ago? Whether he thinks, the encouragement given to it at this day, is equal to that given to it in the earlier ages of modern times? Here, on the scale of truth and reason, he will find himself under an indispensable necessity of answering in the negative. What then, has this decline of favor been owing to? Certainly not to chance; but rather to the industrious exertions of some superior genius and well-designing men, who have unremittedly attempted to dispel this cloud of deception, that has so long interposed between us and the sun of science. In proportion as our intercourse with Greece and its languages, has become less frequent and necessary, the latter has fallen into greater disuse and disrepute. That it is not almost entirely neglected, is also in some measure owing to prejudice, and a tenaciousness of former customs: we all know, that prejudice has a surprizing influence over the mind, and that it often requires the utmost exertions of reason to destroy its power: nay, with the illiterate, it is frequently even victorious, and drives its more worthy foe before it. This unfortunate circumstance, we
might here regret, but it would be to no purpose. It was once found necessary, for obvious reasons, that the language in question, should constitute a great part of the course of academical studies: to contend, that therefore it ought always to remain so, is as ridiculous as to say, that because a man is once in the prime of life, he ought therefore ever to continue in the same state; and thus call in question, the power, wisdom and goodness of the Creator.---The high estimation it was held in, by every accomplished, sensible man among the ancients, he offers as another fact, to confute my assertion. This, upon a slight investigation, will be found the most silly, the most childish, the most ridiculous argument (if I may call it such) that ever proceeded from the mouth of one, who could possibly be supposed to have the use of his reasonable faculties. Can Philalethes , with all his absurdness and inconsistency, suppose that any people, however stupid, could possibly be persuaded not to cultivate their own native language? Let him put the question home. Would he, notwithstanding the contagion which has infected his judgment and his understanding; notwithstanding every despicable inducement he may have, to advance himself in the knowledge of the dead languages, in preference to better things; notwithstanding the rigid injunctions of an inflexible parent or pedagogue; under all these disadvantages, I say, still could any reasoning prevail upon him, weak as he is, to suffer his mother-tongue to sink into disrepute, disuse and total contempt; and to practice none, but that of foreigners and strangers? Perhaps he may hereafter declare with a trembling voice, that "in mentioning the ancients, he did not allude to the Greeks, but the Romans." Such an allegation would be equally trifling, equally unworthy of one, who pretends to being an author. Can it be possible, he was not apprized of this simple truth, that the relation between the Greek and Latin languages, is, in a manner, the same as that between the Latin and English; and that therefore it was as unnecessary for the Latins to study the language of Greece, as it is for us to attend to that of the Romans? Let him recollect himself well; let him examine his memory, and see, whether his teacher did not inform him of this circumstance, in the course of his lectures on that excellent poet, whom he has taken occasion to quote. Let him do this, and perhaps he will be able to release himself from those chains of error that now link him to contempt. He ought to consider, that the passage which he selected from Horace, was addressed to Latins, not to Englishmen: and also, that one of our countrymen would be perfectly right, to speak to us of Latin, as Horace did of the Greek to his fellow citizens.

ALLEN, No. 16, Queen-street,  The American Songster: Being a selected Collection of the most celebrated Ame- rican, English, Scotch and Irish songs. "Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, "To soften rocks, and bend the knotted oak." Virg. Price, neatly bound and lettered, Five Shillings.
To the Lovers of Music in the United States of America. Ladies and Gentlemen, IT has been a subject of considerable regret, that a Collection of the best Modern songs, not only the production of America, but likewise those of Britain has never before appeared on this continent. To remedy which, the Editors have been at con- siderable labor in collecting from the most esteemed Song Books, published in Europe, a compilation, suitable in some degree to this country. To this collection the Fair Americans may safely have recourse, without the fear of a blundering checks, or offending the most rigid virtues; no can the gentlemen be more pleased by the particular at- tention shown to the ladies than by the complaisance we pay to their good sense, in avoiding all manner of indecent things and double entendres. Here will be found a number of original songs, the production of the American Muse: we are only sorry it has not been in our power to collect a greater number of late at the present time.---But provid- ing the present volume meets with encouragement from the Public, the Editors have it in contempla- tion to publish a second, when they themselves they will be able to exhibit most of the principal songs wrote in the United States. However, in this collection we have put a cheerful and enter- taining companion in the hands of the ladies and gentlemen of America, we trust, on their part, they will encourage the rising arts of their native country, which will particularly oblige their very humble serv- ants, THE PUBLISHERS.
