again, as I have not pees an ear of wheat growing since I
left home (three years), although liner been 15 miles each
way from New York, in the summer season. Where are
my accustomed delights, which once pleased my mind,
the fields of wheat; barley, oats, cabbage, &e. sun-mind-

which ascend to Heaves, tweine our Great Maker's praise?
alas! they are lows; yet I trust I shall live to see them
again in England; sad if )ou ever see the day when
a man coo earn enough to keep himself and family, let Noe
know, as I mean to return. Never, never, leave any kind
of living fur this musky.
" Mr. Main got employ, after being here seen weeks;
Mr. Adami and Mr. Elliott, shipwrights, applied to the Bri-
tish Cosset to be seat home, but were refused. Shipwrights
get about 7s, per day, when employed. Although wages are
low in your dock-yards, shipwrights hod better remain hi
England, as they are worse here. We generally pay Gil. for
rutting hair, and 3d. for shaving, but Lowe cuts and 'harts
at half price. Persons coming here should bring beds, pots,
kettles, Ike. is short every thing but chairs and tables.
Bows, the tailor, late of Portsmouth, is here ; sod his fa-
