UNITED STATES.
From the PROVIDENCE GAZETTE.
Mr. Carter,
part of the following bill having been last week read by a member of the General Assembly, in his place, you are requested by a number of your readers to insert the whole of it in your free and uninfluenced paper, for public consideration.— Should it hereafter pass into a law, the other States, which are also greatly perplexed about ways and means for discharging their debts, will doubtless follow so equal and laudable an example. An ACT for the more equal distribution of political Happiness.
WHEREAS the God of nature made all men equal; from whence it is evident, that the different conditions among mankind have originated from ambition, avarice, and the lust of domination: And, whereas the great objects of the late war were the rights of equality, then violated by the rapacities of British power; notwithstanding which, many citizens among ourselves have acquired immense fortunes out of the earnings of others; and many also have claims and demands of a public and private nature, which they are as able to relinquish as the others to discharge. And whereas it is essential to the ideas of sovereignty, that all nations should be equal; whereas France, Spain and Holland, make demands for money lent, which they stand in no need of, and which we are unable to pay.
Wherefore, be it enacted by the General Assembly, and by the authority thereof, That all debts, dues and demands, of whatever nature or kind, be forever abolished, extinguished and discharged.
And be it further enacted, that an equal distribution of all property, both real and personal, within this State, be made by the first day of May next, making as many allotments as there are heads of families; and that
be a committee for that purpose. And whereas the continuation of a republican government depends upon supporting the principles of equality: Be it therefore further enacted, That forever hereafter, at the end of thirteen years respectively, there be a general abolition of debts, and an equal distribution of property.
And whereas there may be some so bold and daring as to attempt the payment of debts, notwithstanding the good intention of this General Assembly: Be it therefore enacted, That every person offending herein, shall for every offence receive 39 lashes, and be closely confined in goal for the space of six months, upon conviction before a Justice of Peace, or warden; and shall moreover forfeit his proportion of property to be distributed as aforesaid.

A short Account of the Mohawk Indians in New-Netherland, (New York) their lands, statues, cloathing, behaviour and magistracy, wrote in the year 1644, by Johannis Megapolensis, Juniores, Minister, residing at Albany, or (Fort Orange.)
[Translated from the Dutch, by Columbus.]
(Continued from our last)
CLIMATE and seasons of the year. It is very hot in summer, in the winter it is excessive cold; the summer continues pretty long, even to all-hallows, but when it begins to grow cold as it generally does in December, it freezes very hard. This cold continues generally three months, altho' we lay here upon 42 degrees of latitude, it freezes continually, and notwithstanding there may come some fine warm days, it thaws but little. The greatest cold comes out the north-west, as in Holland out the north-east; the wind is seldom east here, but most always south south-west, north-west and north, unless likely for rain; our shortest days in the winter have nine hours, in the summer about fifteen, we lay so far west from Holland, that I judge we are four hours earlier, as for instance, when it is six in the morning, it is ten with you, when 12 o'clock here, it is four with you.
The inhabitants here are Christians (so named) and Indians.—Concerning the Christians, I shall say nothing; I intend only to speak about the Indians: These, are two sorts, the one named Mahakans, or as they call themselves Kajiragahaga, and the second named Mahakans, otherwise Poitagagahaga; these two nations have a different language, that bears no more resemblance to the other than Latin and Dutch; they have formerly had great wars with each other, but after that, the Mahakans had overcome the Mahakans, they made peace upon conditions that the conquered should pay the conquerors a yearly tribute. Between these two nations we live; and when either we go to them or they come to us, are very friendly. The principal nation of all the Indians near us, and with whom we have the most dealings, are the Mahakans (Mohawks) to whom all the other nations are tributary. This nation has a very heavy speech, which I find difficult to learn, in order to speak with or preach to them. There is no Christian here that thoroughly understands their language, and those that live here can speak so much as to be understood in trading with them, but don't know the elements of their speech. I am making a vocabulary of their tongue, and when I am with them, ask how such and such things are called, but are often at a loss to make them understand me, as they are very ignorant, and when they mention things, one will answer the question in the infinitive mood, another in the indicative, the next in the first person, and the next in the second, one in the present tense, the other in the preter, which leaves me at a loss how to write it, especially as they decline and conjugate, and have their verbs. I look foolish and don't know what to do, nor is there any one who can put me right. I must study by myself, if I wish to become an Indian grammarian. When I first found that they pronounced their words so various, I asked the Secretary of the company what it meant, who answered he did not know, but judged that they altered their language every two or three years; I told him it could not be possible that a whole nation could thus alter their tongue, and although he had been here 20 years, he could give me no satisfaction.
The natives are of the stature of the Hollanders, some very likely and comely of aspect and body, some black eyes and yellow skin, and in the sum-
mer they go naked, only covering their private parts with a rag; the children, until they are 14 years old, go naked, but in the winter they hang about their body an undrest skin of a deer, a lion or a bear, or they take several skins of otters, beaver, wild cats, raccoons, martins, fishers, minks, squirrels or the like, as are found here, and sew them together to make a square robe for a covering, or they buy of us 2 1/2 ells of duffel, throw it round their shoulders and walk off, viewing themselves and fancying that they are then very fine; they make themselves stockings of deer skins, as also shoes, or take the leaves of corn stalks, work them in one another, and thus make shoes; both men and women go with their heads uncovered, the women let their hair grow very long, then tie it together and let it hang on their backs; the men have some of them on one side some on the other, a long lock of hair hanging; a cross their heads they have a range of hair from their foreheads to their necks, about three fingers wide, which they cut two or three fingers long, and which then stands right up and resembles the comb of a cock or hogs bristles; on each side of this comb, they keep the hair short, except the locks before mentioned; sometimes they leave small locks like a brush aside the comb, and then they are finely fixt; they paint their faces red, blue, &c. and then they look like the devil himself, their head they grease with bears fat, which every one for that purpose carries about him in a calabash, and lay it to make their hair grow the better, and that no lice may breed; when they travel they take with them some of their corn, a little wooden bowl and ladle, which they pack up and hang on their backs, and whenever hungry, they make a fire and cook, the fire they kindle very soon, by rubbing two pieces of wood on one another. They live generally without marrying, not in the least civilized; for although there are some who have wives, they continue together only as long as either pleases, and then leave one another, and each takes another mate. I have seen when they have left each other, and after living along time with others, leave them and come together again; although they have wives they do not leave w---s, and think they have done a fine deed if they can lay with another man's wife; the women are also very fond of w---s, and will expose themselves for one, two or three shillings; our Dutch people run much amongst them.

Saturday last, about three o'clock in the morning, the dwelling-house of Mr. Isaac Stearns, in the limits of Lexington, was consumed by fire, with most of the furniture; and a nephew of Mr. Stearns, about 10 years old, perished in the flames, whose relics were found in the ruins, and yesterday decently interred in Waltham, where the parents of said child live. Some of the people with difficulty escaped the flames, and suffered greatly in that inclement season, before they could be assisted and clothed by their neighbours. The fire, it is conjectured, was occasioned by ashes put into a barrel, the preceding day, in a back room.
Tuesday last, in laudable imitation of the pious practice of our ancestors, was observed as a day of fasting and prayer, in this town. Divine service was performed at the Rev. Mr. Thacher's Meeting House—where a large congregation of people assembled, humbly to implore the Divine interposition, in favor of this devoted land, in removing the dark clouds which impend over, and threaten every hour to burst upon it.
C A R L I S L E, (Penn.) January 10.
On Sunday evening last, between the hours of seven and eight, David ———, as he was travelling from Lancaster county, (from which he had removed some time ago to Juniata in Bedford county, where he lately resided, was attacked on the road from Loupburg, about 6 miles below Carlisle, and murdered in a most barbarous manner, and robbed of a sum of money and his watch. The conflict was heard at some distance by John Junken and others. The strokes resembled the cutting of saplings, and a gun or pistol being discharged, Mr. Junken supposed some waggoners were encamping and kindling a fire, which prevented him from running to the place, as he intended, when he first heard the noise. Next morning the body was found; some who saw it, have seen the bodies of many who had been lacerated by the savages, but never saw one so dreadfully mangled as was that of the deceased. His gun was found by him broken in pieces, and a bludgeon was lying by him, the end of which was shivered so as to resemble a hickory broom, which had been slept in blood.
The coroner's inquest found, that he had been wilfully murdered by some person or persons unknown.
On Sunday morning a man came to Harris's ferry, saying he had rode a considerable distance to meet with his comrade there, and waited there a considerable time, till seeing the deceased appear, he said that was his comrade, they crossed the river together; but it did not appear that the deceased knew him, nor did they take notice of each other. The stranger wrangled about the price of his ferryage; and said his money was almost done; he and the deceased rode together on Sunday evening to John Walker's tavern, where the deceased had his horse fed, and a refreshment for himself. The stranger fed his own horse and continued in the other end of the house: when they were taking horse, the deceased, taking out his watch, said, 'it is just two minutes past seven o'clock.' The stranger's horse was found near the body, and the horse of the deceased could not be found. The country was immediately alarmed all around. The people deserve praise for their spirited endeavours to apprehend the murderer. A man who had not heard of the murder came up with a horse answering the description of the horse on which the deceased had rode, near Lisburn, standing saddled in the road, as if the rider had just quit him at the end of a race. He drove the horse to Lisburn, where he saw a man crossing Yellow-Breeches in a canoe, whom he supposed had been the rider: on the return of the ferry-man he mentioned that the clothes of the traveller were bloody; the bye-standers then suspected that he had murdered some person; immediately some of them went to give the alarm at the ferry, and others raised the hue and cry through the country; they were soon joined by others, who informed them that a man had been murdered, and in two minutes afterwards the company saw a man
meeting them, who answered the description of the person who had crossed in the canoe; they seized him and charged him with the fact, which he denied: he attempted to escape after he was taken, and when pursued, presented a pistol; he was immediately retaken and searched: two pocket pistols were found with him, 56 dollars, 2 half-joes, and a watch in his jacket pocket, he having no watch pocket in his breeches. He confesses that he was the person who crossed the river and was at John Walker's with the deceased, but says they were both attacked by two men, who knocked him down, and then attacking the deceased he made off; walked all night, and although he saw houses did not go into any of them, because he wanted to go to York as quick as possible to advertise his horse; when the money was taken out of his pocket, there was some small money in a pocket by itself, when that was laid hold of, he said 'that is my own,' and on being asked to whom the rest belonged, said it was his own also. He says his name is Joseph Ramfay Warner, and that he came from Chester county. He is now lodged in Carlisle gaol. Whether he is the person who committed this crime, an impartial jury of his country will decide; far be it from us to prejudge the public against any person in the situation of the prisoner, and therefore we only state facts without attempting to draw any conclusion from them.
NEW-YORK, FEBRUARY 2.
From Boston and other News-Papers, received by the last Boston Mail, we have collected the following particulars, respecting the insurrection in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
A gentleman from the back parts of the county of Hampshire, which he left on Saturday morning, the 20th ult. says, he saw at several places through which he passed, small bodies of men, with green boughs in their hats, collected—the largest body of whom (about 100) was at Werners—that he endeavoured to obtain information of their destination and object, but could come at nothing which may be depended on—that from the conversation he had with them, it appeared to him, they had not yet agreed on any place as a general rendezvous—and that their principal object in collecting all their force on the present occasion, was, by the formidable appearance of their number, to frighten, as they expressed it, government to grant them better terms.
Another gentleman, who came through the southern parts of the county of Hampshire on Sunday the 21st ult. informs, that General Shepard, with about 1200 men, had taken a position on Ordinance Hill, in Springfield—that the insurgents were collecting at a number of places—that Luke Day had with him at West-Springfield about 300, belonging to that town and Westfield, who were posted at the Ferry in that town—that he saw a small body of them at Palmer, about 16 miles from Springfield, where he was told by the insurgents, the whole body were to assemble, and make a stand—and from the circumstance of their being embodied in several places in that vicinity, it was conjectured by those who were the best judges, that if they intended any opposition to Gen. Lincoln, it was probable it would be at this place. This gentleman also informs, that he met the van of the troops raised in this and the adjacent counties, on Monday morning, at Northborough, 10 miles this side Werceller, who had with them eight pieces of artillery, and, with a party, which had taken the southern road, through Framingham, amounted to near 2000 men, well equipped, and in high spirits—and that he lodged at Patch's tavern, in Werceller, on Sunday night, but heard nothing of the insurgents in that county.
GENERAL ORDERS, issued by Major-General Lincoln, dated Marlborough, Jan. 21, 1787.
"THE troops employed in the present service will consider, that they are bound, by every obligation of duty to protect the citizens, and maintain the public safety; they will not take upon themselves to determine the political character of men. Should violence or insult be offered to any individual, a plea, in palliation of the offence, that the injured party is inimical to government, cannot be admitted. These offences, and all marauding, or any infringement of the peace, must be discountenanced, and the offenders must expect the most exemplary punishment.
"Should military force, in any instance, become indispensable, proper orders will be given for the exercise of it."
Extract of a letter from Worcester (Massachusetts) dated January 23, 1787.
"This day the Court met without any obstruction. The troops arrived yesterday in the afternoon, to the great joy of all true friends of government. The town is so full that the stage cannot find room,—must therefore go on to Shrewsbury, consequently cannot write much. Shay's party are collecting in many parts of the country; about 120 are now at Leicester, 7 miles from this place, about as many more are at Sutton. Various are the accounts now circulating, but little dependence is to be placed on any of them. The troops for government are in high spirits, and additions are making to their numbers. It is true that many of Shay's party are much dispirited, and others I am told are boisterous. A Committee from the moderate men report, that Wheeler, Gale, and some others, are ready to make every submission to government, that shall be required, short of losing their lives; I will not vouch for the truth of this report, but it is confidently asserted. There is not the least probability of any appearance of the insurgents here. Last advices from Palmer, say, that a very inconsiderable party of Shay's are there; at Pelham and New-Braintree, there is also a number, but not large, of insurgents. On the whole, the general appearance of affairs are greatly in favor of government.
"Gen. Shepard is 1200 strong—Shays has a party of 300, as the insurgents report, collected at West-Springfield. A company of horse is forming at Springfield, and in a day or two it is said will be very respectable. General Tupper and a number of old continental celebrated officers, have offered their service to General Shepard. Shay's party, at West-Springfield, have stabbed two men who were riding through that town: one man was wounded four inches in the thigh, the other in his hip, and the bayonet would have been through his belly, but he fended off the stroke. Seven insurgents are committed to goal in Springfield."
Extract of a letter from another gentleman, dated same day, three o'clock, P. M.
"Yesterday the army under General Lincoln, came into town, in good spirits, and within an hour after, were all provided with good and comfortable quarters. Head-quarters are at Mr. Allen's in the center of the town; Adjutant General's quarters opposite the park of artillery, at Patch's tavern. A regiment of troops assembled at Lancaster, of about 500, are expected in this afternoon to join General Lincoln; the Worcester regiment of horse are likewise expected this day. A party of insurgents marched on Sunday night from Shrewsbury, towards Sutton, to join another party there. A small number are at Bruce's, on one of the Leicester Hills, and a much larger number of government troops on the other hill, near the academy. A small party of insurgents are at Palmer; but the largest collection, I hear, are at West-Springfield, consisting of about 300. Shay's is at or near Pelham, and is expected at Palmer this day; his principal men are, Wheeler, Day, Ware, Grover, Smith of Barre, Hinds, &c.
"One Drury, from Grafton, is just taken up and confined in gaol."
Extract of a letter from a very respectable gentleman at New-Haven, dated Jan. 29.
"It was my intention to have set off to-morrow for New-York, but Mr. B——'s absence from home will prevent me for a few days. He returned yesterday about two o'clock from Springfield, and within two hours set out again for that place, in order to see the finishing stroke put to the insurgents in Massachusetts, which he firmly believes will be the case within a very few days, as Gen. Lincoln has arrived there with near 3000 men and joined Gen. Shepard, who had previously fired a few field pieces on Shay's, and induced him to retreat in great confusion, with the loss of three killed, one mortally wounded (since dead) and several slightly wounded.
"It seems Gen. Shepard, had posted himself on the heights of Springfield, with about 1200 men, in order to secure the public stores, Shay's, notwithstanding came on with great apparent resolution, and without opposition, until within 350 yards of Gen. Shepard, the latter then sent out a flag, and ordered Shay's not to pass a certain line but at the peril of himself and people.
"Shays, like all heroes in romance, could not brook controul, but swore by his Maker, that he would march on, and did.
"Gen. Shepard intended the two first discharges to intimidate, and of course they passed innocently over the heads of the rabble. The General's humane intention, however was defeated by the obstinacy of Shay's, who still advanced, until the next discharge had punished some of his miserable wretches for their temerity.
"Mr. B——, thinks from what information Gen. Shepard and others gave him at Springfield, that Shay's and the other leaders will infallibly be taken.
Annexed you have a copy of proposals sent in by a flag, from one Luke Day, Capt. Commandant at West-Springfield, to Gen. Shepard previous to the affair with Shay's; when I inform you that this Day was at the head of about 6 or 700 men in the most miserable plight, as to arms, ammunition, provision, &c. and that Shepard had under him 1200 men well appointed, clothed and fed, and armed uniformly, from the continental stores in Springfield, your anger occasioned by the insolence of the paper, will give place to pity for the shocking delusion of the people.
Head-Quarters, West-Springfield,
January 25, 1787
The body of the people assembled in arms adhering to the first principles in natural self-preservation, do in the most peremptory manner demand: 1st. That the troops in Springfield lay down their arms.
2d. That their arms be deposited in the public stores, under the care of the proper officers; to be returned to the owners, at the termination of the present contest.
3d. That the troops return to their homes on parole.

Extract of a letter from Hartford, January 28.
"Shay's men have retired with a fit of the cholick, occasioned by some canister shot."
By Capt. Bradford, who left Fort Harmar, on the 22d of December, we learn, that the garrison enjoys the greatest tranquility, which has had no interruption since our last accounts from that place. The Chiefs of the Indians, it was reported, were soon to meet in council, but what might be the subject of the intended consultations had not transpired. The season has been exceedingly severe in that quarter.
The latest accounts from the western country inform us, that though the winter hitherto has been uncommonly severe in that quarter, yet the troops at the respective garrisons, have been remarkably healthy; that peace has generally prevailed, and that the Indians are by no means deficient in point of respect for the regular troops, having conducted themselves towards them on all occasions in the most friendly manner, but affected to hold the inhabitants, whom they call militia, in the greatest contempt and detestation.
Captain Hutchins, Geographer-General to the United States, still remains at Cox's Fort; but as soon as he receives and arranges the returns of the different surveys that have been taken within the territorial lines of the United States, we are informed he will set out for Philadelphia.
A writer in a late English paper observes, that at this period, there are not freer writers in the world than the French—and that they have gained their ends against despotism by the delicacy and firmness of their arguments, and the clearness of their reasoning.
The Right Honorable Guy Lord Dorchester, by proclamation bearing date the 20th of December, required the attendance of the Members of the Legislative Council of the Province of Quebec, in the Castle of St. Lewis, on the fiftieth day of January ult.
On Friday the 26th ult. arrived at Philadelphia, after 24 days from Curacoa, the brig Olive Branch, Captain Potter, who reports, that the day before he failed, a flood arrived with an account of a terrible hurricane and earthquake having happened at Jamaica, by which great damage was sustained, and it was said that one half of the town of Kingston was sunk by the earthquake. No particulars of this

truly melancholy event are received, but the account is exaggerated.
On the 29th ult. the Honorable the Senate appointed a Committee to prepare and report a bill for the more equal mode of taxation within this State.
Sunday evening last was married by the Rev. Mr. Willon, Mr. JOHN RAMAGE, of this city, to Miss CATHARINE COLLINS.
On the first of November last, died at Glasgow, Dr. Alexander Wilson, Professor of Practical Astronomy, and Observer in the University of that city. This gentleman particularly distinguished himself in the art of cutting and casting Printing Types, being generally esteemed the Letter-Founder in Europe, second only to Mr. Callon, in London.

PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given, That the Subscribers have presented a petition to the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New-York, in Senate and Assembly convened, at their last Sessions, setting forth, that the Hon. Richard Maitland, late Deputy Adjutant-General of the troops of his Britannic Majesty, in and for North-America, deceased, was seized and possessed of a considerable real and personal estate, in the State of New-York.
That the said Richard Maitland, in and by his last will and testament, bearing date the sixteenth day of February, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-one, did give, devise, and bequeath all his estate both real and personal, to his two natural sons, Richard and Peter, children of Mary M c Adam, and to the said Mary M c Adam, and the child of which she was then pregnant, equally to be divided among them, share and share alike. That the said Richard Maitland, in and by his said last will and testament did request, authorise and empower his Executors therein named, or such of them as should take upon them the execution of his said will, to manage, govern, and direct his estate in such manner, as they, or the major part of them, should think most for the advantage of his devisees: And in case his Executors, or such of them, as should take upon them the execution of his said will, or the major part of them should think fit, or esteem it for the benefit of his devisees, he did by his said will desire, authorise, and empower his said Executors, and the survivors and survivor of them, who should at any time take upon them the execution of his said will, to grant, bargain and sell all or any part or parts of his real estate: And of his said will did appoint the Hon. Colonel Alexander Maitland, and William M c Adam, John Ogilvie, and Doctor William Bruce, deceased, the respective husbands of the subscribers, and Thomas Moncrieff, Esq. Major of Brigade, Executors.
That after making the same will, the said Mary M c Adam had issue one other son, named John, and that soon after she was intermarried with the said Richard Maitland, and had issue another son, named James, who was born after the decease of the said Richard Maitland: That the said Richard Maitland died some time in the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy-two, and that the said William M c Adam, John Ogilvie, and William Bruce, proved his will, and took upon themselves the execution thereof; but that the said Alexander Maitland, and Thomas Moncrieff, never became acting Executors thereof.
That the said Richard Maitland was in his life time indebted to Sampson Simson and Solomon Simson respectively, in very considerable sums of money, and that the respective husbands of the subscribers, together with the said Thomas Moncrieff, entered into bonds to the said Sampson Simson and Solomon Simson respectively for the payment thereof.
That the said Richard Maitland was in his life time also indebted to the said William M c Adam, deceased, in very considerable sums of money, great part of which remains unpaid; and that the other sums of money were advanced by the said William M c Adam in his life time for the same estate, and after the death of the said Richard Maitland; all which are payable to the subscriber Ann M c Adam, as sole Legatee and Executrix of the will of the said William M c Adam, deceased.
That the said William M c Adam, John Ogilvie, and William Bruce, are all dead, and that the said Alexander Maitland resides in that part of Great-Britain called England, & the said Thomas Moncrieff, Esquire, in Halifax, or some other part of the British dominions, and have not taken upon themselves the Executorship of the will of the said Richard Maitland, deceased.
That all the children of the said Richard Maitland, deceased, are infants, and that by reason thereof, and of the death of the respective husbands of the subscribers, and the absence of the other Executors aforesaid, his estate cannot be sold and disposed of, for the payment of the debts, and maintenance and support of the widow, and younger children of the said Richard Maitland, deceased, who were in necessitous circumstances: And thereupon, praying that the estate, both real and personal, of the said Richard Maitland, deceased, may be by a law, vested in Trustees, and that the whole, or such part thereof, as may be necessary for those purposes, may be directed to be sold, as well for the payment of the debts due therefrom, as for the maintenance and education of the children of the said Richard Maitland, deceased.
Whereupon the Honorable the Senate and Assembly, did resolve in the words following, to wit:
State of New-York, in Senate, March 24, 1786. RESOLVED, (if the Honorable the Assembly concur therein) that Ann M c Adam, Margaret Ogilvie and Judith Bruce, have leave to present a bill to either House of the Legislature, to vest the real and personal estate of Richard Maitland, in trustees, to be by them sold for the payment of his debts and the maintenance and education of the children of the said Richard Maitland, deceased, agreeable to the prayer of their petition; on the petitioners having previously caused the substance of their petition, and a copy of this resolution to be published four weeks successively, in two or more of the public newspapers printed in this State.

TO BE SOLD,
And possession given immediately; THE FARM and PLANTATION, in the neighbourhood of Philadelphia, called C L E R M O N T,
about four miles from the city: This farm contains one hundred and fifty acres of land, great part of it well improved, and forty acres of it is an orchard of the best grafted fruit; there are on the premises, a very large and commodious store house, two stories high, fifty-four feet in front, well finished, a brick building or out house nearly adjoining the same, wash house, smoke house, a neat stone spring house built over a never failing spring, and a small barn; in the rear of the house, is a well improved garden, inclosed with a cedar board fence, containing two acres of land, well disposed, and contains a large collection of the choicest fruit.—The situation of the place is so well known as needs not a more particular description; its vicinity to the capital, it commanding a view thereof, and of the river Delaware; and the healthiness of the place, unite in recommending it as the residence for a gentleman with a large family—and its being so near the market, would make it an object to the farmer. It will be sold together or separate, as may best suit the purchaser—the house with about fifty acres will be separated from the rest, and disposed of if most agreeable, and the remainder in convenient small lots, from every part of which there is a commanding view.
For terms of sale, apply to John Lardner, Esq. in Philadelphia—John Lawrence, Esq. in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania—Anthony White, Esq. at New-Brunswick, in Jersey, or to Thomas Lawrence, in New-York. 54

A WISH for a WIFE.
WHAT! will you then, requires a youthful friend, Your days without a fair companion end? Is nature quite excluded from your breast? Has the dull Rock all your soul possess? Thus I reply—'tis plain, the flame of love At first was kindled in the world above; And when th' Almighty robb'd our father's side, And shap'd the crooked bone into a bride, Into the wound he cast love's pleasing power, As a just balance to the loss he bore; Wherefore, as Heaven the tender passions gave, I're my life clos'd a female friend I'd have, And such a nymph as this should fix my choice; And O! that Heaven would hear a tripling's voice! Whether the virgin was extremely fair, Exact her features and genteel her air, Whether her years are just the same as mine, Should be my least concern—Beauty, 'tis true, At first may dazzle the spectator's view, But soon the lovely varnish glides away, And grows unheeded, if it chance to stay. I would not once desire that I might say I'm worth my thousands on my marriage-day. This looks as if the winning heaps of pelf Were what I married, and not herself; And riches, though to mighty sums increas'd, Could never make the near relation bless'd. No; first I would examine if her mind To tread religion's sacred paths inclin'd? Whether her soul was sworn a foe to sin? And whether pure devotion reign'd within? If this companion to my youth was giv'n, How would she guide my erring steps to Heav'n! Whether her temper match'd with mine, or not, Should be the next thing that engag'd my thought! For I could never dream of real bliss, If I dragg'd that way, and she dragg'd this; But if her mind was moulded to my own, Easy and smooth the thread of life would run; Then, if severe afflictions prov'd our lot, By mutual comforts all would be forgot, And the worst troubles that assail us here, Would lose their sting, if honey dwelt so near: But, should unclouded sunshine bless our days, How largely would my happiness increase! Pleasures, that seem'd but trifles in our eyes, Would with new gush, and new advantage, rise; And, as my vessel pass'd this sea of life, Bless'd with so pious and so kind a wife, Not one rude breath of wind should stop my way, Nor one small wave disturb the peaceful sea.
