A nd for sale at this office, THE MONITOR, By Archibald Cameron, innister of the gospel

From the Palladium.
Copy of a Letter from John Brown to Judge Muter, dated
New-York, July 10, 1788.
DEAR SIR:
An answer to your favour of the 16th March was together with several other letters, put into the hand of one of Genl. Harmer's officers, who set out in May last for the Ohio, and who promised to forward them to the District; but I fear that they have miscarried, as I was a few days ago informed that his orders had been countermanded, and that he had been sent to the garrison at West Point. Indeed I have found it almost impracticable to transmit a letter to Kentucky, as there is scarce any communication between this place and that country.
A post is now established from this place to Fort Pitt, to set out once in two weeks after the 20th inst. This will render the communication easy and certain. Before this reaches you I expect you will have heard the determination of Congress relative to the separation of Kentucky, as a copy of the proceedings has been forwarded to the District, by the Secretary of Congress, a few days ago. It was not in my power to obtain a decision earlier than the 3d inst. great part of the winter and spring there was not a representation of the States sufficient to proceed in this business, and after it was referred to a grand committee, they could not be prevailed upon to report, a majority of them being opposed to the measure. The Eastern States would not, nor do I think they ever will assent to the admission of the District into the Union as an independent State, unless Vermont or the province of Maine is brought forward at the same time. The change which has taken place in the general government is the only ostensible objection to the measure; but the jealousy of the Western Country, and an unwillingness to add a vote to the Southern interest, are the real causes of opposition, and I am inclined to believe that they will exist to a certain degree even under the new government, to which the application is referred by Congress. The question which the District will now have to determine upon, will be whether or not it will be most expedient to continue the connection with the State of Virginia, or to declare their independence, and proceed to frame a constitution of government. 'Tis generally expected that the latter will be the determination, as you have proceeded too far to think of relinquishing the measure, and the interest of the District will render it altogether inexpedient to continue in your present situation until an application for admission into the Union can be made in a constitutional mode, to the new government. This step will, in my opinion tend to preserve unanimity, and will enable you to adopt with effect such measures as may be necessary to promote the interest of the District.
In private conferences which I have had with Mr. Gardoqui the Spanish Minister at this place, I have been assured by him in the most explicit terms, that if Kentucky will declare her independence, and empower some proper person to negotiate with him, that he has authority, and will engage to open the navigation of the Mississippi, for the exportation of their produce, on terms of mutual advantage. But that this privilege never can be extended to them while part of the United States, by reason of commercial treaties existing between that court and other powers of Europe. As there is no reason to doubt the sincerity of this declaration, I have thought proper to communicate it to a few confidential friends in the District, with his permission, not doubting but they will make a prudent use of the information, which is in part confirmed by dispatches yesterday received by Congress from Mr. Carmichael, our Minister at that court, the contents of which I am not at liberty to disclose.
Congress is now engaged in framing an ordinance for putting the new government into motion, it is not yet completed, but as it now stands, the elections are to be made in December, and the new Congress to meet in February, but it may undergo alteration. Ten States have ratified—this State is now in session—what the result of their deliberations will be, is as yet doubtful; two-thirds of the members are opposed, but 'tis probable they may be
influenced by motives of expediency. N. Carolina will adopt—time alone can determine how far the new government will answer the expectations of its friends—my hopes are sanguine—the change was necessary.
I fear, should not the present treaty at Mufkingum prove successful, that we shall have an Indian war upon all our borders. I do not expect that the present Congress will be able to take any effectual measures for our defence. There is not a dollar in the Federal treasury which can be appropriated to that purpose. I have been in this place shortly, and expect to be at the September term. I have enjoyed my usual good state of health, and have spent my time here agreeably.
I am with great esteem, Your most humble servt. J. BROWN.
From the Kentucky Gazette, of Sept. 13, 1790.
Woodford, Sept. 4th, 1790.
MR. BRADFORD,
IN Mr. Marshall's address to the freeholders, &c. of the district, he says, he had prevailed with me to publish a letter from Mr. Brown to me; and gives an extract from that letter. From the time in which that publication was made, it may be supposed that I had consented to it, with a view to injure Mr. Brown in his election; than which, nothing could be farther from my wish or intention. I must therefore request, that, you will publish the following statement of facts, which will let my conduct with respect to the letter and its publication, in its proper light.
It has always been a fixed principle with me, that a private or confidential letter ought not to be communicated to any person whatever; but, this extends not to cases, where, I think, the public interest and safety may be concerned; in such cases, my duty as a citizen, with me supercedes every other consideration.
Mr. Brown's letter to me came to hand in the fall of the year 1788; and I knew that, letters from him, familiar to his to me, had been received much earlier; even previous to the setting of the convention in the month of July of that year; and that a letter or part of a letter from him, was read in convention.
When a total separation was in contemplation, I was of opinion that Mr. Brown's letter had weight in the convention in inducing some people to think, such a measure was right. That however, was a measure I was warmly opposed to; and therefore I considered it to be my indispensable duty to do every thing in my power, to prevent it from taking place; and for that purpose, as I knew Col. Marshall thought as I did with respect to it, I showed the letter to him, and consulted with him, as to the steps it was necessary to take, to effect the purpose we both of us had in view, and wished to bring about.
As a letter from Mr. Brown had been read in convention (though as I was not a member, I did not know certainly, whether the whole or a part only had been read, or whether it had as is customary, lain on the table for the inspection and consideration of the members) I conceived it to be no breach of confidence to show his letter to me, to Col. Marshall; or to speak of it, when it became the subject of conversation, even, if the principle mentioned above, had been entirely out of the question.
Soon after Mr. James Marshall's arrival in the district, he told me he had been informed I had received a letter from Mr. Brown containing matters of public concern, mentioned part of the contents, and expressed a wish to see it. I did show it to him, because I thought it better that, he should form his opinion of its contents from what he read himself, than that he should judge of them from what was repeated to him from memory, where possibly there might be some mistake that would mislead him.
After this, when I supposed the business of a total separation, to be quite at an end, I never showed the letter to any person whatever; and I even avoided as much as possible, making it the subject of conversation.
When I was in Mercer in July last, I was told by two gentlemen, at different times, that Mr. Marshall, when questioned by Mr. James Brown, with respect to his having spoken to the injury of his brother's character, had said that he had part-
ly formed his opinion of his brother's conduct, from what was contained in the letter above alluded to. I made no answer to the information I received; but I felt some uneasiness at finding a subject again brought forward, which I hoped and expected was entirely done with. I had not, however, before I received the information abovementioned, ever heard that Mr. Marshall had reflected on Mr. Brown's conduct, from the time he became a candidate.
A few days before I set off for Fayette August court, Mr. Marshall came to my house, and requested that, I would furnish him with Mr. Brown's letter to me, or that I would carry it to Lexington. I told him I would carry it with me, and accordingly I did so.
When I got to Lexington, I found it to be the common talk of the town that, a duel was to be fought, between Mr. Marshall and Mr. Brown. On Wednesday forenoon Mr. Marshall applied to me for the letter: I refused to give it to him, but told him I would attend at any time and place and produce it, if necessary; he answered that, that probably would not do, because when he wanted to make use of the letter, there might be neither time nor opportunity to send for me; I told him then that I would give him an extract from the letter, which I should accompany with my reasons for giving the extract, and for ever showing the letter at all.
I was anxious to prevent a duel from taking place; and particularly so, to do every thing in my power for that purpose without publicly appearing in the business; and from circumstances, I was lead to believe that, an accommodation might probably take place, and that the production of the letter, or an extract from it, might lead to it. I therefore, furnished Mr. Marshall with an extract from the letter, accompanied with a statement of my reasons for doing so, and restricted him to show it to Mr. Brown only, or to one or two gentlemen more, with his approbation. I left town on Thursday.
On the Friday evening following, Mr. Marshall came to my house, and requested that, I would consent to the publication of the extract in his possession. I told him I was averse to doing so, because I did not wish to injure Mr. Brown, nor even to appear in the business at all. He urged that he had been accused of telling a falsehood, and that he had no other way as matters stood, of vindicating his character from a charge so injurious to it. I told him then, that I would give him an answer in the morning. In the morning I told him, I wished and hoped that, the business could be done without the publication he requested, and that I was willing to come forward when properly called upon, and disclose every thing in my power: but on his urging that, as the matter was now become public, nothing but the publication could vindicate his character with respect to his having uttered falsehood concerning the letter, I consented that, in case of absolute necessity, he might publish the piece I had furnished him with, in which the extract was contained; but, that he must publish the whole, if he did publish at all.
'Tis impossible for me, to give the whole of the conversation that passed between Mr. Marshall and me, on this occasion, but I think that, I have given the substance of them; and I am clear that, when I finally gave my consent, I have given the very words I made use of. Whether Mr. Marshall might always, fully understand me, in our different conversations, I cannot pretend to say; but I always endeavoured to express myself, as clearly as possible.
I am Sir, your most humble servant. GEO. MUTER.
For the Kentucky Gazette.
After reading the observations of the Editor of the Palladium, in his paper of the 28th of August last, and the reply of a writer styled An Observer in the Western World, of the 30th of that month, little doubt can be entertained as to the real name of the author of the publications in the Western World signed "An Observer." He spells so plain, and leaves such strong marks of his character, that he might as well have said the first letters of his name are Humphrey Marshall . Those publications have confirmed my suspicions on the subject. Though the general opinion seem to be, that the author of the ever memorable Alien Poem , after publishing that famous production, had declined writ-
ing, and it was expected (to use his own words) he would have "sat down and plant his Corrigan ." But the success of the Western World , which has for some time teemed with the grossest abuse, against those who are considered the enemies of the noted author, has dispelled his fears, routed him from his torpor, inspired him with feelings which made him forget his real character and standing in society, and induced him again to come forward as a newspaper writer. In order that his observations might receive some credit, he has made a solemn declaration, that he is not a Co-Editor of the Western World , that he believes that paper is not Federal," and asserts that he has made no communication to the Editors upon which any part of the narrative of the Kentucky South Association , &c. is founded. Had Mr. Observer's character been unknown, these declarations might have been believed; but who can entertain a doubt, after knowing his character, and examining the publications and evident objects of the Western World , that his assertions are not true. Can it be believed that he is not directly or indirectly, influenced much of the information relative to the Spanish Conspiracy, &c.? It cannot. Circumstances and proofs are too strong. It's very probable he refused to make direct communications—he was afraid of the consequences, and willing to manage it so that he could keep behind the curtain, he got some of his relatives, adherents or tools to be the active instruments in furnishing the Editors of the Western World with materials for their papers, and the Editors will find, when too late, they have been deceived, that their information cannot be depended on, and that many of their authors are too contemptible to be credited.
Mr. Observer appears to have a good memory—he has not forgot on any thing which he thinks will answer his own purpose; but he has forgot to tell the whole truth, and it may not be amiss at this time, to call to his recollection, some reports relative to his past conduct, and give him a few hints lest they should be forgotten.
Does he recollect a person who was in the Surveyor's Office in 1783 or 4, and was strongly suspected for making alterations in Entries, which interfered with the claims of some of his friends? Has he forgot when he was elected a member of the Virginia Convention, and abused the trust reposed in him, by violating his promise, and voting contrary to the known will of his constituents?
Can he have forgot how he deceived his country while a Senator of the United States, by voting in favour of the ratification of the British Treaty? (But no doubt he had powerful reasons for this.) What did he receive for this vote? Was he not afterwards led to the river in Frankfort to be ducked? What was the experience he gave in? Was he not lined out of town with the Rogue's march beating after him? Was he not burnt in Effigy?
Does he wish to forget the charge of Perjury, exhibited against him by the Judges of the Court of Appeals, and their challenge for him to bring suit, and they would plead justification? He ought not to forget some of his back door enterings, seditious conferences, his friendly aid and admissions to the Editors of the Western World , and his anxiety and ardent solicitude for their prosperity, ought ever to be remembered.
Methodism I hear him say, would to God these facts could be forgotten. I have been almost as long in Kentucky as Mr. Observer—I have heard them all, and will notice him whenever I feel an inclination, or think it my duty.
"INDEPENDENCE."
COMMUNICATION.
ST. LOUIS, August 18, 1806.
On Tuesday last, Rufus Easton, esq. classified a certain James L. Donaldson, for a scandalous Toast given by him concerning the former, at a public dinner some time last March. Not having courage enough to attack the reputation of a man when there might be an opportunity of resenting it immediately, Donaldson chose rather "by his Excellency's command" to take advantage of Mr. Easton's absence to New-York, to abuse him. The first time Mr. Easton found Donaldson upon his return from New-York, the affair took place as related in the following certificate, which is submitted to an impartial world with no other observation than that an insult given in a public manner, requires public chastisement.
"LEX TALIONIS."
(CERTIFICATE.)
{ St. Louis, Louisiana, 13th August, 1806.
The undersigned having been solicited to make a statement of a rencounter which happened yesterday in this town, between Rufus Easton, esq. and Mr. James L. Donaldson, say that they were present at the Board of Land Commissioners yesterday at about 11 o'clock A. M. when Mr. Easton entered the house with a walking stick and caned Mr. Donaldson—Mr. Easton gave him
perhaps four or five strokes across the shoulders, upon which Mr. Donaldson drew a sword from a cane, upon which Mr. Easton said "you rascal, you have publicly abused me, when I was thousands of miles away—defend yourself." Mr. D. remained silent with his sword drawn, apparently much frightened, and at length put up his sword. Mr. Easton left the house saying, "now you little puppy if you want any other satisfaction, you can have it." And so the business ended, as far as we know.
We think proper to observe, that whilst we are opposed to acts of violence, there are many cases in which the fault is extenuated, if not nearly done away. From the attacks which it seems Mr. Donaldson has made upon Mr. Easton's reputation, and that too in a public manner, we are convinced that Mr. Easton could have used no other means of satisfaction, which could so amply have done himself justice, or have continued him in the esteem of his numerous friends. Mr. Donaldson's abuse of Mr. Easton was public, and of course his chastisement it seems ought to have been public. The Aristocratic party , to which Mr. D. is attached, have long been in the habit of committing acts of violence upon the opposition, who have long acted meek and mild, and if the Majesty of the People should no longer suffer itself to be trampled on, with whom does the fault rest?

Extra of a letter from Dr. John Sibley, Superintendent of Indian affairs, dated at Natchitoches, July the 12th, 1806, to Allan B. Magruder, of Opelousas.
"By several gentlemen who are to be relied on, lately from Nacogdoches, we hear that Col. Ezara, late governor of Monterey, has arrived at Nacogdoches with upwards of 600 cavalry, and the Spaniards had there before about 300 men, exclusive of militia, with which they are upwards of 1000 strong. They are well provided with provisions, and about 15 pieces of artillery—and the report is, that they intend to come on within a few miles (about 12) of this place, to where they were removed from last winter. Should they attempt it, agreeable to the orders of the president, the troops here will be obliged to oppose them."
"About a month ago, an exploring party under the direction of Major Freeman and capt. Sparks, accompanied by doctor Cuthis, lieutenants Humphries and Duforcet, and forty picked men, exclusive of guides, hunters, interpreters, &c. left this place for the source of Red River. I accompanied them several days, 'til they were furnished with guides &c. I have heard from them since they passed the Great Salt, or Jam of timber in the river. They were six days ago, in the vicinity of the Cadoquies. The Spanish governor sent out a party of armed men from Nacogdoches, consisting of near two hundred men to stop them. They made their appearance at the Caddo village; the chiefs requested them to withdraw, and have declared the Red river free for the people of the United States. The Spaniards have fallen back about 30 miles towards the river Sabine, and remained encamped there five days ago, waiting for orders from the governor. The exploring party were waiting likewise to see them, and prepared to meet them, as they were determined not to be stopped. I hourly expect to hear further from them."
"Major Freeman found the latitude of Natchitoches at 31° 46'. He took observations to ascertain the longitude, but had not time, prior to his departure, to make the calculations."
Reflections on the above intelligence, by A. B. Magruder, communicated to the Editor hereof.
Notwithstanding the report mentioned by Doctor Sibley, as to the intentions of the Spaniards, it is presumed, on just grounds, that their movements are not of a hostile nature, towards the Americans. The lines of separation, between the territories of the two nations, have not yet been completely ascertained; and it is therefore, rational to conclude, that the Spaniards, pursuing the example of the Americans, at a period when there exists some misunderstanding, between the two cabinets, are doing nothing more than preparing for a defence of their own frontiers, by the establishment of forts and garrisons.
Until the line can be clearly defined, it is probable, however, that some trifling alterations may arise on the subject, between the parties. But we can scarcely expect to meet with the same difficulty in forming our Western frontier establishment as occurred at the time the British disputed the boundaries of the American dominions, on the lakes of Canada. The Spaniards possess less physical strength than the British did, at the period when the dispute took place, on this subject, with the Americans. The former are incapable of exciting the same powerful co-operations of the Indians, which the latter enjoyed from the era of
the revolution to the treaty of Greenville. From the Americans, the Western savages have sustained no injuries, sufficient to arouse them to revenge. On the contrary, the Northern tribes had suffered severely from the encroachments of the Americans, on lands, which they supposed to belong exclusively to themselves, and which had been moistened by the blood of their countrymen in innumerable instances. There was no difficulty, therefore, on the part of the British, in exciting the Indians to a formidable and continued opposition to the Americans. Besides, in our contest with the British, on the subject of our Northern boundary, various points were necessary to be conceded on the part of the United States, before the pots could be delivered up. This naturally delayed the final settlement of the dispute, and gave ample time for those formidable operations with the Indians and British, which grew out of our rapid settlements in the Western and Northern parts of the continent. None of those points are to be settled with the Spanish cabinet. No causes of delay, in fixing the line of demarcation, exist in reality, to injure the progress of negotiation, on this subject, which is now going on, & is presumed will be brought to a final close, before any serious alterations, from mistaken ideas of national right, can be brought into effect.
It is not so certain, however, that the Spaniards will remain entirely passive, whilst government is engaged in exploring the sources of rivers which run through their own dominions. It is probable, that this difficulty will occur in penetrating to the source of those which touch on territories inhabited only by savage nations: such as the Mississippi, the Missouri, the La Plate, and the Yangau. These rivers, it is presumed, head no where in the Spanish dominions. But I have some reason to believe, that the Red river heads in the heart of the Spanish country, to the West; and that its waters wash a very considerable portion of territory, which will be found by no construction of treaties, of ancient charters, or historical authority, to be included within the bounds of our late purchase. Should our adventurers, therefore, be stopped by the Spaniards in their progress up the Red river, it will be owing to the jealousy of that people, as to our encroachments, and perhaps, from a sense of right derived from the principles of the law of nations, on the subject of rivers running through particular countries. I am not so clear, that our government, however laudable the effort, to improve the geography of those regions, from political motives, possessed the right, in this case, to extend the expedition so far as the source. The boundary line between the two countries, should, at least, have been established; and then, policy would have dictated the propriety of acting by permission of the Prince, through whose dominions the river passes.
HOSTILE APPEARANCE. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Natchitoches, to the Editor, dated August 2, 1806.
"On or about the 13th of July, ult. a detachment of Spanish troops, consisting of 303, under the command of Capt. Viand, the commandant of Nacogdoches, and inspector of the troops of his Catholic Majesty in the interior provinces, arrived at the Caddo village, near Red river, above Natchitoches, demanded information relative to the exploring party under the direction of Major Freeman, which had passed the Caddo village some days before, cut down and carried away a flag of the United States, which the Caddoes had hoisted in their town, informing them the flag of the United States had no business there, that that part of the country was within the dominion of Spain, and forbidding the Caddo chief in future from holding talks, trading or having any intercourse whatever with the Americans; after which the Spaniards took their departure in pursuit of the exploring party, and informed the Caddo chief that they were going to kill, rake or drive them back."
"We have likewise accounts from Beyau Pierre, of the arrival at that place of Col. Errara, late Governor of Monterey, with six companies of cavalry, said to contain one hundred each, with several pieces of cannon, and that several companies of troops more are on their way from St. Antonio."
[Mississippi Messenger, September 4, 1806.]
CAUTION. The effects of drinking cold water after the body is heated by exercise, have so often proved fatal; the lives of so many valuable citizens have been lost by this imprudent practice, that it is time every person should be cautioned against indulging in a gratification that has deprived of existence so many useful members of the community. The following directions therefore, which the Humane Society of Philadelphia have caused to be pasted on each of the pumps of that city, may at the present season be found valuable, if proper attention be paid to them:
 1. Drink not while you are warm, or  2. Drink only a small quantity at once, and let it remain a short time in your mouth before you swallow it, or,  3. Grasp the vessel out of which you are about to drink, for a few minutes with both your hands, or,  4. Wash your hands and face, and rinse your mouth with cold water before you drink. 
If these precautions have been neglected, and the disorder incident to drinking the cold liquor hath been produced, give him from 40 to 60 drops of liquid laudanum in spirit and water, or warm drink of any kind.
If these should fail in giving relief, the same quantity may be repeated every 20 minutes, until the pain and spasms abate.
N. B. The dose of laudanum is calculated for a grown person, and must be smaller for a child.
What a satire it is upon the morals of the age, when calumny is sought for with such avidity. We hear the editors of the Western World constantly boasting of the increasing number of their subscribers—and yet there is scarcely one of the number, but must know the contents of that paper to be a tissue of infamous falsehoods.
Then what is man! And what man knowing this, Who does not blush and hang his head, To think himself a man!
'It is reported that Wood is about to turn upon the party who furnished him the information relative to the Spanish association, as he has found it false. The triumvirate, however, need be under no apprehension, as that would be acting the part of an honest man, and quite out of character for Wood.

NOTE FOUND. Found in Lexington, a note, payable to John Patterson for fifty Dollars, which the owner can have on application at this office.
THE way to keep the money circulating in this state, is to encourage home manufactures. The rapid importation of many articles that the citizens of this state can make equal in quality and more durable in wear, has of late become a very serious evil to the inhabitants of this western country. In the single article of Ladies' Shoes, it is estimated that not less than 20,000 dollars worth is annually imported into Lexington—The subscriber willing to lessen the inconvenience, has commenced manufacturing Ladies' Slippers at a very reduced price of six shillings and nine pence per pair. The quality of his work, and the unusual low price, he is persuaded will secure him the patronage of a discerning public—Those merchants who have expressed a patriotic desire to encourage domestic manufactures, may now have an opportunity of sending their orders to

THE HINT.
Beneath the Rose, that mild appears, The envenom'd thorn we find, And of the form that Beauty wears, Conceals a canker'd mind.
The nymph, possess'd of Beauty's charms, The prairie of Fame may share; But she, whom love of Virtue warms, Is still the loveliest fair.
While that attends the flattering glass, To deck her beauties face: This as the fleeting moments pass, Improves each mental Grace.
Accept the hint, ye lovely fair, Nor friendship's voice despise, For soon will Time's rude hand impair, The bawble that ye prize.
"TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR"
A gentleman who was examined as a witness by the late Lord Altherton, (whose name was Dunning before he was created a peer,) being repeatedly asked by the Councellor if he did not lodge in the verge of the court, at length replied, he did. "And pray, Sir, for what reason did you take up your residence in that place?" "To avoid the rascally impertinence of Dunning," was the reply.
Lexington WARM & COLD BATHS.
THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use.
The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where exorcising pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case, will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort.
G. A. WEBER. N. B. Dr. Buchan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have so fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing, that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be amply sufficient to ensure remuneration to the owner, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking.
Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season. Lexington, 3d June 1806.

In ancient times the bards foretold, The rhyming trade would ne'er grow old-- 'Tis true in these more modern times, Mechanics manufacture rhymes; Murphy and Shaw have try'd their part To imitate the rhyming art, And Willis in these rhyming times Must surely weave a web of rhymes. Ladies here I beg to mention, (Claimants of his first attention) Handsome shoes in every part, Is Willis's master piece of art-- He shoes does make, which Queens might handle, The neatly plain, the brilliant spangle, Improves new fashions as they rise, And makes some spangly shoes with ties. Coffack boots, and fair tops too, Made neater here than any shoe, All sorts and sizes well assorted, Made of leather, the best imported, And now to tell you where he lives, And first attention there he gives, To orders sent both far and near, He'll fit you well you need not fear: Main-street, next door to neighbor Noel, Those who know this, possess a jewel; But not to make description fainter, Tis opposite Mentelle the painter; Adjoining the shop of Aaron Woodruff, Who makes you shoes quite good enough, To tell you this, my mind did labor Who'd not be friendly with a neighbor. If ladies lend a pattern shoe, He'll make them neatly to fit you. Believing this the best expedient, He now remains their most obedient.
