From the BALANCE.
“ Radix Indigestaque Moles,” Ovid’s Metam. which may be thus translated:
“ Black Spirits and White, Blue Spirits and Grey.”
THE comparisons, which I frequently make, between the men, who compose the Federal and those who compose the Democratic party, always afford me abundance of matter for pride and self-complacency. The federal party, unquestionably possesses a superiority in point of talents, and I do not hesitate to affirm, that it is made up of those who are most distinguished in our country for private integrity, respectability and worth. The truth of the first remark will be apparent, when we consider the difficulties the democrats meet with in selecting suitable persons to fill offices; difficulties the federalists never had to encounter and never feared. Even if I were to admit, which by the bye I shall not do, that offices now are as honestly filled, as they were under the federalists, it must be conceded to me, that they are not filled as ably. The fact is, democracy is not a soil, favorable to the growth of official merit, & when its harvest is to be reaped, there will always be found a lean crop. Genuine merit spurns at the mean, petty tricks of intrigue for office, and shrinks from the unhallowed arts of the demagogue.
The truth of the last remark, viz. that the body of the federalists is made up of those, who are most distinguished in our country for private integrity, respectability and worth, will be no less apparent, when we consider, how large a proportion of the democrats are such men as Duane, Tony Pasquin and Nichols: Men, who have made themselves conspicuous by their infamy alone: Men who,
Could lane-legg'd justice but have catch'd them In Europe, there the would have stretch'd them.”
Some of these are receiving the wages of their sins; others not so successful, but not more vile, are gracing the pillory, or enjoying the richly deserved leisure of a prison.
It is curious to observe, what a heterogeneous mass democracy has formed. Men, who were born aristocrats, and the first rudiments of whose education has been the exercise of a capricious tyranny over their fellow creatures, and men, who if they had any inheritance, inherited nothing but a most mortal antipathy to law, and an inveterate dread of all subordination; those, who call themselves gentlemen, and those, who can boast of nothing but their being vagabonds, are by the magic influence of democracy leagued together in pursuit of one great end; the destruction of every thing that is dear and valuable. Southern Nabobs and penniless united Irishmen, citizens white men and citizens negroes are jointly laboring in the same vineyard. A mass composed of such incongruous materials, it was not to be expected, could long be firm and united; nor has it been. It has been broken and the rude clashing of its divided parts is now agitating our country.
It has been frequently observed, that the democrats, now that they are divided, are more rancorous towards each other, than they ever were towards the federalists. This is a fact and may easily be accounted for. If it could be predicated of those who are immediately united only for the attainment of the same detestable end, that friendship existed among them, the well known principle of our nature that the enmity of those who once were friends receives from that very circumstance a peculiar edge, would lead us at once to a conclusion in the present case. But as such a predicate would be absurd, we must seek for the cause in something else. The contests of the democrats with the federalists were contests of falsehood against truth; of calumny warring against the most spotless virtue. The restraint which the majesty of virtue naturally imposes upon vice, together with the absence of that stimulus of personal irritation, which exists now, will serve to shew, why they were less bitter in fighting with the federalists than they are in fighting amongst themselves. Their calumnies and recriminations of each other are founded on truth, and truth cuts keen and penetrates far. Again. The tools, who laid the steps, by which cunning knaves have advanced themselves to power, when their work was finished claimed their reward. Some have been rewarded; all could not be. Those who are not, now find that they were tools and that they are treated as such; they therefore feel mortified and angry. Their anger is heightened by the reflection that their labor has been in vain; that they have made themselves the objects of the contempt and abhorrence
of all good men to no purpose. Once more. Those that are in power, now that they have tasted its sweets, feel a more lively affection for it than they before did; and the fear of having their hopes of a further promotion blasted and of losing what they already have, goads them almost to madness.
What the issue of the present contention will be, is uncertain; it certainly however will be wisdom in the federalists to remain at rest. Whilst they were sufficiently strong to be formidable, the fears of the democrats kept them united; but now that their victory is complete and the spoils are to be divided, their ambition and avarice irresistibly impel them to disunion. If ever truth is to be again triumphant, their themselves will be the cause of it. They know each others characters thoroughly; they therefore are the most able and suitable to expose them. M. L.
NEW-YORK, July 1.
Bordeaux papers to the 28th of May have been received at this office, from which we have translated the following articles:
PARIS, 30 Floreal.
Complaints have been made to his majesty of great frauds having been committed by the agents of the forests. The emperor has in consequence, given orders that a very strict attention be directed to this important part of the public property. A commission having been appointed to examine into this nefarious business, some of the agents fled from justice. Depredations so alarming will excite all the solicitude of the prefects and conservators.
The following trait deserves to be related.— An American attached to the late embassy from the United States, and ready to embark on his return to the Federal city, passing one day thro' the streets of Nantz, observed a crowd. Enquiring the cause he was told that it was a father of a family whose moveables had been sold to pay his debts. He enquired further to what sum his debts amounted—to 100 crowns was the reply. The generous American drew 100 crowns from his pocket, put them into the hands of the bailiff, and disappeared without telling his name or receiving any thanks.
TENNIGEN, May 10.
Yesterday we experienced a dreadful storm. The greater part of the vessels at anchor in the mouth of the river have lost, some their masts, some their anchors, and others their rudders... This morning were counted from 75 to 80 large ships on shore. The situation of the vessels is the more critical that they cannot find here the tenth part of the articles necessary to repair them.
The St. Christopher's Chronicle of the 7th June, received by the schr. Dolphin, contains the following articles relative to the alarming aspect of affairs in the British islands.
The decided superiority of the enemy in these seas, has, in a great measure cut off our communication entirely with the mother country.
This is too fatally evinced in the recent capture of the second April packet, about one hundred miles to the windward of Barbadoes, after an hour and an half's obstinate resistance, by a French privateer schr. of fourteen guns, and ninety two men. One of the passengers by the packet, Mr. D. Owen, has arrived at Montserrat from Guadalupe and informs “ That the Algeriers, admiral C. major, and Achilles, both of seventy-four guns, part of the expected reinforcement, had arrived at that island, landed about seven hundred men there, and sailed from thence on Sunday evening.” He further adds “ that the ship Eliza from London to Barbadoes, laden with dry goods one of a London fleet which sailed the 19th of April last, was captured by the above squadron and carried into Guadalupe.
By the same vessel which brought the list of the combined fleet, advices were received at St. Bartholomews, that intelligence had reached Martinique of a British fleet of 17 sail of the line and 7 frigates, having arrived at Barbadoes, under the command of sir Richard Bickerton. As we have had some vessels from the British islands, without any news of the like auspicious nature having been received there, we have too much reason to doubt the authenticity of the account.
Two squadrons from Ferrol and Carthagena, consisting of about 16 more sail of the line, are momentarily expected by the combined fleets at Martinique. We also learn, that not meeting Missies's fleet there, an express had been sent after him, requiring his immediate return.
Wednesday morning the government schooner Richard, captain Tax, arrived express from Montserrat: By her we learned, that an alarm had been fired the preceding afternoon, in consequence of 21 sail having been seen to the eastward, and 7 more to the southward of that island—the former supposed to be bound for Antigua.
On Friday the 24th ult. the sloop Apollo
from New-York for Jamaica, with a valuable cargo of 5 or 600 bbls. flour, 100 bbls. bread, 50 bbls. tar, besides staves, hams, &c. was sent in the same island by a French schooner privateer Perseverance.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2.
It is stated on the authority of a private letter from the city of Washington, that the frigate John Adams is ordered to be fitted for a cruise off Charleston; and, wonderful to tell! that Mr. Jefferson contemplates building some ships of 24 guns. How soon they will be ready to protect our defenceless coasts and commerce, it is not permitted us even to conjecture. Judging of what may happen from what has already taken place, much injury will be inflicted, and many insults offered before a single gun is fired at the free booters who infest our harbors, plundering our citizens, and degrading our national flag. We shall not be surprized to hear that a second store ship is ordered to the Mediterranean with supplies essential to the prosecution of the war in that quarter, and that, being unprotected, she has also become the prey of some Buccaneer.
Captain Thackara, in the ship Four Friends, 56 days from Lisbon, informs us that the expedition, under general Craig, which put into Lisbon, in its way to the Mediterranean, sailed from that port the day capt. T. left it; it consisted of fifty transports under convoy of a 98 and a 74 gun ships, and two or three frigates, and was said to be going with troops for Gibraltar and Malta. On the 15th of May, in latitude 34, longitude 17, at midnight, spoke a ship from Malaga, for Boston, out 12 days who told captain T. that he came through the straits of Gibraltar with lord Nelson's fleet and he understood his lordship was bound off Brest, to join the blockading squadron there. Captain T. knows not the name of the Boston ship, or time when she passed the Gut.
Yesterday arrived here, the brig New-Jersey, capt Wade, 65 days from Varel. Left there, the schooner Lavinia Green, of and for Philadelphia, to sail in 15 or 16 days; ship Sally, Ashby of New York, for New Orleans, in 15 or 20 days; brig Catherine, Lawrence of Alexandria, condemned, having her upper futtock timbers broke with the ice, during the winter, and to be sold for the benefit of the concerned; ship Diana, to sail in 3 or 4 days. On the 13th May, in lat. 45, 40, long. 29, spoke the ship Sarah, from Norfolk for Falmouth out 25 days. June 8th, lat. 40, long. 48, 30, spoke ship Fanny, Galloway from New York for Amsterdam all well.— June 15, lat. 38, long. 65, spoke ship Eliza Ann, from New York; could not learn the masters name or where bound.
On Sunday last arrived at the Lazaretto, the schooner Friendship, Hughes, from Trinidad, which he left the third of June, after a detention of eighteen days by an embargo. He touched at St. Thomas, which place he left the tenth ult. Left at Trinidad ship Hercules, Harmah, of Pepperborough, for New York in twenty days; brig Reuben, White, of Middleton, for New-York in four days; Mary, M'Lellen, of and for Portland in two days; New Haven, Benham, for New York in four days; Diana, Hitch, of New Bedford, for N. York in 6 days; barque Harper, Landen, of and for Salem, in twelve days; Rolla, Clap, of and for New-York in four days, sloop Neptune, Much, of Pepperborough for Boston in ten days; schooner Olive Branch, Harper of and for Philadelphia in two days. The ship Volunteer Conn, arrived at Trinidad on the 27th of June, who was immediately ordered to sea on account of having India goods on board, but was brought to, by the guard ship King Fisher, and detained as French property. The Volunteer's papers were taken from the captain and supercargo, and sent to Barbadoes for examination. Left at St. Thomas 11th June, brig Hops, Thomas, for Philadelphia in three days, also the schooner Hetty, Taylor, where bound unknown. Accounts arrived at Trinidad the 4th June, that twelve sail of the line, British, was hourly expected at Barbadoes. The friendship was boarded off the West end of St. Thomas by a French privateer and treated politely. Spoke June 25, schooner Mary Ann, Lile from New-York, bound to North Carolina, out 5 days, in lat. 36, 23, long 74, 30.
CHARLESTON. June 22.
The French privateer schooner Matilda, Captain Griffin, from Guadalupe, arrived off our bar yesterday. The Matilda captured on the 16th June, in lat. 33, 30, long 75, 30, the American brig Comet, John Chelton, master, owned in Norfolk by Mr. William Pennock, and bound there with a cargo of coffee from Je-
temie, also, schooner Imperial, Nicholas B. ... lon, master, of and for Baltimore from ... with coffee, on the 14th June, in lat. 33, 30, long. 75, 15; and the British brig Clyde, Captain Kolloch, from St. Thomas's for Liverpool with a full cargo of coffee.
The privateer is a large schooner of near two hundred tons burthen, last from Guadalupe had a complement of 130 men when she left and is reported to have now 120 men, and mounts 18 nine and 6 pounders, Capt. Chelton, her master of the brig Comet, of Norfolk, and Captain Kolloch, of the Clyde, are now prisoners on board.

FRIDAY, JULY 5.
The anniversary of American Independence, a day which enlivens the feelings of Americans, was celebrated in this town, by the Washington Society, in that truly dignified manner which not only adds instructive lessons to our rising generation, but brings to the recollection of our revolutionary patriots those sensations which, while they draw forth the involuntary tear for departed worthies, they are yet elated and relieved by a just rehearsal of the meritorious actions which are recorded in the hearts of those who are left to survive them. At 12 o'clock the society moved in procession, at a signal gun, from Gadsby's hotel to the Episcopal Church, accompanied by the children and teacher of the Washington Free School. On the procession entering the church, a select piece of music hailed them from a band placed in the gallery. after which an appropriate prayer was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Davis, succeeded by solemn music; after which an Oration was delivered by Edmund J. Lee, Esq. a member of the Society, which we take pleasure in saying was truly elegant and appropriate, and was delivered in a manner which did honor to the Orator and drew forth a smile of approbation from a very numerous and respectable assemblage of citizens. The Society returned in the same order to Gadsby's, where, after a salute of 16 rounds, they were amused by the rehearsal of several of the children who are educated on their bounty, after which the company sat down to an elegant dinner provided by Mr. Gadsby, where the remainder of the evening was spent in harmony and innocent mirth.
4th of July.—Yesterday being the Anniversary of American Independence, and the 29th year since the United States of America took a station among the nations of the earth; the same was celebrated by a number of the citizens of this town, who had leisure and opportunity to pay a suitable respect to the ever-memorable cause which produced it.
A gentleman in New York has received a letter from his correspondent at Nantes, dated the 22d May, which contains the following Postscript:
“ I open my letter to inform you of the safe return to Rochefort of the squadron which sailed from thence some time ago for the windward islands. It has on board the contributions levied upon the English islands. This has occasioned no little sensation here.”
We understand that another letter has been received there, which states that the above squadron had sailed again from Rochefort on a secret expedition.
Captain Morris, from Bordeaux, left the Cordovan on the 30th May, at which time he was informed by the officers of the guard-ship that the Brest fleet had sailed on the 27th for Jamaica.
[N. Y. Paper.]
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated May 14.
Since we last had the pleasure of addressing you, our cotton market has continued uncommonly dull, and our prices have experienced a further decline; indeed, our present quotations can be considered as little more than nominal. The last parcel of New Orleans sold (of any consequence) was at 22d. and they were of a very good quality: Some smaller parcels, we know, have since been disposed of at lower prices, and a few upland Georgia's at 18d. a 18 1-2.
“ We have recent advices from Manchester, from a confidential quarter which mentioned that twist has fallen 6d. per lb. and even with that reduction there are scarcely any buyers. This unusual depression is not to be attributed to any considerable increase in our general importations. The unsettled state of the continent has shaken that confidence so necessary to trade & the orders for twist have in consequence been delayed, as well as on account of the advance which has taken place.”

The attack on our West India possessions, and the disposition shewn by the French to harass our trade, in every possible way, has also materially tended to distress business in general. It is to be regretted that many houses from which they were expected to meet their engagements, their inability to force sales when there is little or no demand; which is productive of great mischief; for when the prices are once lowered, it is not very easy to get them again.
Under the present circumstances, it is difficult to form an opinion in what manner our prices are likely to rule—we know that the dealers and spinners have very small stocks on hand, and it is generally believed that the continent is not very well supplied with twist: It is therefore not unlikely that the demand may revive, particularly if our squadron falls in with the French but it is very material that every precaution should be taken to discourage the advance in America, as cottons laid in at high prices, may, if we experience further depression, subject the shippers to very serious losses.
Our arrivals from the Mississippi territory have been sufficient to enable us to form an accurate opinion of the quality of the last crop. We have seen some Louisiana which is very good, but others appear to have suffered in the staple from the caterpillar, and are very light and frothy. It is still generally believed that the cotton grown about the Natchez and in the Tennessee territory, will be better than usual; but it must be remembered that the latter description generally sells from 1d. a lb. per pound lower than the best N. Orleans. Fine cottons are not at present in much demand: but there is great probability that they will maintain good prices, as there certainly is a great deficiency in our supplies. Coffee continues to command very high prices: and, since the news from the West-Indies, is still looking up. Our stocks are not at all considerable. Sugar has also advanced, and though the demand is not very brisk, there is every probability that the prices in Europe will continue high. Tobacco are in fair request, and the stock on hand moderate. Corn and flour have been extremely dull, and our prices have continued to decline. There is very little American flour on hand, and no sales can be made, except by chance, or exportation. The price is nominally 3s. 6d. per barrel. Wheat 76s. a 90s. per quarter of eight bushels. The last sales in London went rather better; but there is no prospect of any material amendment. The price in Cadiz was as high as 23 dollars per barrel; but as the blockade is raised it will probably decline rapidly. At Lisbon, by the last quotations, it was 68s. a 70s. per barrel. Cochineal, indigo and dye woods, do not sell briskly; but it is presumed, as soon as the prize sails are over, these articles will meet a more steady demand. Pot and pearl ashes are scarce, and very much enquired for.
The state of European politics continues particularly favorable to the advancement of American Commerce, and the reports of a pacific nature entirely, for the present subsided. The prospect of a continental coalition are also entirely over, at least for this year; and the aggrandizement of the French are still viewed with the same apathy. The new constitution has been carried into effect in Holland; and Bonaparte is now visiting Italy to complete his assumption of the Italian crown. The Toulon squadron passed through the Straights of Gibraltar, the 9th ult. and has effected a junction with the Spanish fleet; their forces together amounted to 18 sail of the line and 6 frigates; it is said they have about 22,000 troops on board; their destination is at present a matter of general speculation. Ireland, the East and West Indies, and even the Brazils are mentioned. No intelligence has however been received of their arrival, but it is generally believed that they are gone to the West Indies. Part of Lord Nelson's fleet was seen off Cartagena the 20th ult. trying to get through the Straights, and it is confidently hoped they may still come up with them. In consequence of these movements, a general embargo has been laid on all English ships in our ports, and the greatest exertions are made to augment our squadrons. A detachment of twelve sail of the line, from the Channel fleet is immediately to be dispatched to the West Indies.
Consulate of the United States of America. ISLAND OF CUBA, Havanna, 11th June, 1805. For the information of the merchants and others in the United States, the undersigned consul thinks it his duty to make known, that by an official act of the captain general and intendant of this island, under date of the 29th ult. a reduction of the duties on imports in foreign vessels, took place about 7 per cent. on all duties made after the 26th ult. So that the actual duties are now payable on such imports in this
island are about 25 1-2 per cent, on the valuation. Also that by the said act, goods and merchandise of the growth or manufacture of Spain, accompanied with proper documents from the custom houses from whence they were cleared in that kingdom, knowing them to be such, and imported into this island, are subject to no more duties than if imported in Spanish bottoms, viz. at 6 1-2 per cent.
HENRY HILL, Jun.
Married, at New Orleans on the 4th of June, by the rev. Father Walsh, Edward Livingston, esq. to Mde. Marie-Louise-Magdeleine-Valentine-Davezac-Castru Moreau , widow of the late Louis Moreau de Lassay .
MARRIED, at East Hartford (Con.) on Sunday evening last, Mr. Thaddeus Gale , (Medico Electrician) aged 43, to Miss Harriet Bates , aged 11 years.
A physician in the country, who had a quarrel with the squire, was at last called in to prescribe for his better half—"Now says the doctor to his friend, "I'll have my revenge on the fox hunter, for i'll cure his wife."
A Clergyman preaching in the neighborhood of Wapping, in England, observing that most part of his audience were in the sea-faring way, very naturally embellished his discourse with several nautical tropes and figures. Among other things he advised them to be ever on the watch, so that upon whatever tack the devil should bear down upon them, he might be crippled in the action. "Aye master," cried a jolly son of Neptune "but let me tell you that entirely depends upon your having the weather gage of him."
A learned and witty dissenting minister, not many years deceased, married three wives; the first for her pecuniary advantages, the second on account of personal charms; the third he married in his old age, for the sake of securing her attention and his own comfort; she however, proved "a very shrew." "Well," said the Rev. to a friend, "I have in my time had three wives; the world, the flesh, and the devil."
(London Paper.)
An officer of the French fleet at Martinico, was asked the object of the expedition, he replied—"To make Nelson run out of the Mediterranean; and then for the French to run home."
From the BOSTON GAZETTE. Messrs. Russel & Cutler.
Having perused the several letters, of Mr. Elliot, as published in your Gazette, I cannot but express my surprise and disappointment, that a man, whom I began to entertain a favorable opinion of, and for whose reputation I felt an increasing interest should, with a single flourish of borrowed rhetoric obliterate the favorable impression he had previously made on my mind, and I have reason to think, on the mind of every candid and discerning reader.
In noticing his last essay of vanity and egotism, I feel no disposition to detract from the merit he may have gained, in professing his faith, and acknowledging the doctrines that are to guide his future conduct. But when in doing this he assumes the liberty of trampling irreverently on the ashes of the worthy dead, and of coarsely insulting the merits and virtues of the respected living, I cannot suffer him to pass wholly unnoticed.
In his third paragraph, he says: "I believe that Washington was the greatest warrior, and probably the most correct statesman in our country. I believe Adams to be a man of integrity and talents, but the general system of his administration was wrong." Thus, in two short sentences, the merits, the services and long tried patriotism, of two of the first and most distinguished personages of the American revolution, are delineated with as brief and familiar a ceremony as he would have treated the characters of almost any other public men, whom it would be dangerous and unpopular to reproach too openly. In filling up the last portrait, although he held the pencil of truth in his hand, and was compelled to trace, tho' reluctantly, some outlines of the original, yet we find the impulse of a heart, naturally jacobinic, too strong for resistance, and the hand irresistibly led to compleat, what prudence, had she have reigned at the moment, would have forbidden.
I will not ask Mr. Elliot, or any of his party, how they will support the allegation, that the "general administration of Mr. Adams was wrong." I will narrow
the task, and challenge them to produce their evidence, that a single act of his administration was either impolitic or injudicious, as it respected the welfare and dignity of the nation. This they will not attempt, for well they know, that there is scarcely a single political event transpired in Europe, or in this country, since the retirement of Mr. Adams, which does not afford the fullest evidence of the wisdom and foresight of the measures he pursued, and recommended. Was he wrong in giving to the judiciary his support? was he wrong in his plans for supporting public credit? was he wrong in his opinion of the uselessness of a standing army? Was he wrong in his opinion of the usefulness, nay necessity of a respectable navy? Was he wrong in his opinion of the French Revolution? Was he wrong in declaring this sentiment, that America, instead of counting on the friendship of any nation, must rest its prosperity and existence on the justice of its own laws and the virtue & spirit of its own citizens? These are stubborn things, and will not be easily cavil'd away.
JUSTICE.
From the Port Folio.
VERSES ADDRESSED
TO
A L A D Y,
Who maintains that the pleasures of childhood are not to be desired in comparison of those which we enjoy at a more advanced period of life.
Thy dimpled gills, and rosy boys, Rekindle in thy heart the joys Which blest thy tender years. Unheeded, fleet the hours away; For while thy cherubs round thee play, New life thy bosom cheers.
Once more, thou tell'st me I may taste, Ere envious Time this frame shall waste, My infant pleasures flown; Ah! there's a ray of lustre mild, Illumes the bosom of a child, To age, alas! scarce known.
Not for my infant pleasures past I mourn; those joys, which flew so fast, They too had many a stain. But for the mind so pure and light, Which made these joys so fair, so bright, I sigh; and sigh in vain.
Well I remember you, blest hours! Your sun beams bright, your transient showers, Thoughtless, I saw you fly; For distant ills then caus'd no dread; Nor cared I for the moments fled; For memory call'd no sigh.
My parents dear then rul'd each thought, No blame I fear'd, no praise I sought, But what their love bestow'd. Full soon I learnt each meaning look; Nor e'er the angry glance mistook, For that were rapture glow'd.
'Twas then, when evening call'd to rest, I'd seek a father, to request His benediction mild. A mother's love more loud would speak; With kiss on kiss she'd print my cheek, And bless her darling child.
Thy lightest mists and clouds, sweet sleep! Thy purest opiates thou dost keep, On infancy to shed. No guilt there checks thy soft embrace; And not e'en tears and sobs can chace Thee from an infant's bed.
The trickling tears which flow'd at night, Oft' has thou stay'd till morning light Dispell'd my little woes. So fly before the sun-beam's power The remnants of the evening shower, Which wet the early rose.
Farewel blest hours! full fast ye flew; And that which made your bliss so true, Ye would not leave behind. The glow of youth you could not leave; But why, why cruelly bereave Me of my article's mind?
The fair unwrinkled front of youth, The vermilion cheek, the smile of youth, Deep lines of care soon mark. But can no power preserve the foul, Unwarp'd by pleasure's soft controul; Unmov'd by passion's dark?
These changes which o'ertake our frame, Alas! are emblems of the same, Which on the mind attend. Yet, who reviews the course he's run, But thinks were life once more begun Unspotted it should end?
Vain thought! the evening's firm resolve We break ere morning clouds dissolve; Then boast the life we'd lead, Would heaven but infancy restore, Thus o'er an idle dream we pore; But slight the waking deed.
Thou tender mother! hope thy bosom warms, That on the prattler in thine arms Heaven's choicest gifts will flow. Thus let thy prayer incessant rise; Content if he who rules the skies, But half the boon bestow.
"Oh Thou! whose view is ne'er estrang'd From innocence; preserve unchang'd Through life my darling's mind. Unchang'd its truth and purity; Still fearless of futurity; Still article, though refin'd."
"As oft his anxious nurse hath caught, And sav'd his little hand that sought The bright but treach'rous blaze; So may fair wisdom keep him sure, From glittering vices, which allure Through life's delusive maze!"
"Oh! may the ills which man surround, Like passing shadows on the ground, Obscure, not stain my boy. Then may he gently drop to rest, Calm as a child by sleep oppress'd; And wake to endless joy!"

JAMES KENNEDY, JUN.
DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines: Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY
THOMAS H. RAWSON,
Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermitting Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholic, Costiveness, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 40 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Bilious Pills, or, Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, diziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle.—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste.
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth.
