waist-band and lace RULES !; then
three falls or hounces Of emboiied
muffin or rich lace ;--then three
falls of rich brocade or fatIn ornamen-
TED with rich fringe, covered them !;
and to complete the dreis, and 10
protect the tip of the elbow a piece
of lead, large enough to make doz-
en- bullets, hung pendant and there
was nothing more frequent in the
annals of chivalrv, than for the favor

THE EMBARG0 by youth of thirteen.
If this poem be really written by You'll
Of thirteen. IL mnf be acknowledged an extra
ordinary performance. We have never met
with boy at that age who attained to fuct
command Of language and to 70 much Poetick
rhrafeology Though The poem is unequal
and there are fome AAt and pcolaici panages,
excellent lines. The following padageis writ
ten with ftrength and fpirit.
Much injcr'd COMMERCE. It's ;hy falling caufe,
Which, from obicurity a Tripping draws;
and were his powers bat equal 70 his zeal,
Thy dattard foes his keen reproach lhould feel.
Curfe of our nation, fource of countless woes,
From Whole dark womb unreckond mifery
flows,
tn embargo RACES like a hseeping wind,
Fear low'rs before, and famine talks behind
What words, oh, Mufe can paint the mourn
ful fcene,
The fiddening ftreet the defolated green;
How hungry l4bourers leave their toll & fgh,
And forrow deocps in each defponding eye.
We regret thai the young poet has dared to
aim the fatirick ihafl againli the breaft of our
m Dit excellent Preiidsnt But, as the lines
are good ipecimen of the authors powers,
we czanot reiiR the temptation of quoting
them, confcious that the frl magiffrate of
this country, fecure IN the impenetrable ar
fnour of moral rectitude, imlles It the drawn
dagger, and dedes IT'S point
When fhaq this land ,fome courteous angel fay,
Throw OF weak aud erring rulers fway J
Rife, iniur'd people, vindcate your caule
And prove your love of Liberty and laws;
Oh wren, fole refuge of iniSing land,
The fcepsre from fhe llaves im5ecile hand
Oh meier content, obfequious, to advance
The zyil!iag 0sglJ Of imperious France
Core 4 tha; fuFrage you riiiuld before,
s.nd hft your voice above eongrels' roar
And thou, the fcorn of every patriot name,
Thy countrys ruin aud her councils ihame
Poor ferviie thing derillon Of the brave!
syho erif from Tarleton fed to Carriers cave
Thou, who, when menac'd by perfiaious GAui,
Didif p-oarate TO her whiiker'd minion fall
And when our cath her empty bags fuPPled,
Didst meanly itrive the foul cilgrace to hide
Go, wretch, reign rhe preferential chair,
Dfclofe thy fecrer mealures, foul or far;
Go. fearch, with curious eye, for horned frogs,
'Mongn the wild walles of Louifanian bogsS 3
Or where Ohio rolls his turbid 1rean,

FOR TIE Eng UL2ER
THE NEW YEAR.
An ODE.

Time, always On the swift career,
Hath flung behind another year,
And usher'd in the new;
Whats past no more--.,nd what's to come.
Lies in cterr;;y's dark womb,
'Tis doubtful who may view.
Back on past time we look-replete
Whh pan, w';h pleasure or regret,
AS we the same have spent
Then forward !rize, wit, iongino- soul.
While hope aims at some fav'rite goal,
Where all our thoughts a., BENT
Fondly the man Of pleasure dreams,
(Who glider down designations streams,3
To reap more pleasing JOY;
On disappomtment's waves long cast,
Tir'd with oil courses-owns at last.
Tia, sensual pleasures cIoy
The wretch who doats on treasur'i ore,
Bi!s ot'ry year increase his Store!
The ambitious man win say
\ "This year viii make each wish complete,
My fo2s, like vassais, at nv feet,
Shall bend ard own my sway"
Thus we divide, 'twixt hope and fear.
Alternately, the coming year,
Comparison our guide
And eager pry in fate's dark womb,
To anticipate oilr future doom,
And learn what Heav'n denied.
Why does this passion strongly moves
Whence, lffutu iry, this love.
Whence springs the powerful thoughtf
Some uneXpe, led chance, our dreams
Of empord bliss and high built schemesY
May ev'n torn to- nought.
May ev'ry New-Ycar me survey,
Wiser and better than today
And still to have friend;
TIL Heavens mandate calls me hence,
Where change no more can give offence,
Nor years can ever end
