A single stroke of an axe is of little con-

My neighbour Samuel Steady is not on
ly an industrious man, but his industry is
applied directly to one object. His ham,
mer is heard at the cocks growing, and the
FIRE blazes in his shop during the winter
evenings, from the goth September to the

time of the day and bespeak a plain.iron or
= pillow share, a CRATE or a gridiron ; yea
are sure to be promptly supplied. The
consequence is, his old purse is filed with
dollars and his cellar we'll stored with beef,
pork and cider" and that's what l call
comfortable" Although suitably liberal,
and enjoying the good things oflife as he
goes on, ten years of health viii enable
him to buy the best plantation in the coun-
try.
But then there's my Young friend Ma
than Notional; he is the busiest and most
industrious mortal in existence but as the
old saying is, +" he has too many irons in
the fire." and with all his industry he goes
behind hand.
He has a fne farm, blu, instead of pur-
suing the cultivation of it, he flies off ard
seizes on every new project thar occurs,
Last year, after having sown a number of
aelds ofgrain, he resolved to rent his farm;
sell the grain on the ground, buy a team,
and SO TO hauling, for by a nice calculation
ne had proved that money might be made
by IT. A team was procured /; but after
one or two trips, Notional concluded to
sell his team; build a saw miN and go
largely into the numbering. The dam wac
complicated, the irons made, and three
fourshs of the expence incurred, when by a
nice calculation (for no makes nicer
calculations,) he found that an oil mill
would afford the best profit and to work
he wen, with great industry building an oil
mill. happened to go by there a week
or W. afterwards and the whole c~rgapiza-
ton of the mill was undergoing an altera-
ton, to fit it up for a cotton and WOODEN

A quizzical neighbour OF mine intends
to. morraw to propose to him to abandon
his present project, and to enter largely
into the manufacture of -four /; | have not
the least doubt but Nathan will readily ac-
cede to the proposal.
So sirs, with all his industry and ex-
pence he is neither benehting Himself nor
the public. Such a coarse CO nrinued ten
years, would sink the best farm in the
country.
If you would kill game it is true you must

But then you must aim, and hold steady, to

The armies have done nothing. The

a line of defence on that side, in order to

IN addition to the particulars formerly
mentioned, relating to the Lunar Nodes

January, &c. it is worthy of remark, that
the Earth is also in the perihelion of its or.

year ; and since the Lunar Nodes make a
complete revolution in 10 years 224 days

LOT Z " G E. S.
Which there is reason to believe, have
within ten years past, cured upwards OF two
hund.ed thousand persons Of both sexes, OF
every age, and in every situation, of various
dangerous complaints arising from worms,
and from ob.tructions or ioulness in the sto-
mach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever
to others of similar title, SO commonly COM
planned of as operating with violence, on the
contrary, a particular excellence OF this re-
medy is its being suited to every age q con-
stitution. 1t contains nothing but what is
perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its ope-
ration that it cannot iniure the most delicate
pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant OF
week old should no worms exist in the body,
but will without pain or gripping, cleanse the
stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or Of
fensive, and thereby prevent the production
of worms ant, many fatal disorders: The To-
zenges are particularly eficacious in carrying
of all gross humois and eruptions, feverish
and bilious complaints, and are the safest and
mi,lest purgativc that can be urged on any
occasion.
A Gose of this medicine given occasionally
during the warm season. will effectually pre-
vent the vomiting anG purging of children,
dreadful disorder which annually destroys
thousands of the infant part of our citizens.
1t is likewise the mi!dest and most certain re-
NEEDY known, and has restored to health and
strength great number when in an advanced
stage Of this fatal complaint. Particular and

the necessary treatment in such cases.

PREPARED BY

MICHAEL LEE & co.
Persons wishing to purchase this valuable
medicine, are requested to be particular in
enquiring for Lees Aibilous. Pills, put up in
| wooden boxes, having on the outside wrap.
per the siSnutre of Michael Lee and Co late
Richard Lee and Son'-this is necessary, as
there are other pills of the same name.
The operation of these highly esteemed
pills is perfectly mild, and the experience Of
| thousands has proved, they may be FUSED in
every situation in life, without the least incon.
venience.
They are admirably adapted to carry off su.
! perhuous bile, and to prevent it's morbid So
cretions; to restore the appetite, procure a
regular habit of the body, promote tree per-
| spiration, and thereby prevent colds, so often
attended with fatal consequences to the lives
of thousands; and seldom, if ever, fail to
remove cold, if taken on it's first appearance.
Habitual costiyeness and its opposite are re-
| moved by their wholesome influence, as also
those diseases arising from them, headaches
and sickness at the stomach.
1t is almost necessary to state, that on
the regular habit of the sytsem, the health of
mankind depends. To conduce to this all
important object perhaps no medicine was ever
more generally successful than those pills;
they never do harm, and afford relief to those
who use them for the purpose for which they
are intended,
Prcsons travelling by land or sea will find
much advantage from using this medicine,
which retains its original excellence ioryears
in every climate; the lassltude OF the body
cccasioncd by extreme fatigue, as we'll as the
diseases above alluded to, is commonly re-
moved by them, as they strengthen the sys-
tenn, increase the appetite and restore the
tone of the nerves.
With the most perfect confidence we re-
commend these pills to the public, and will
only further add, that their operation is al
ways pleasant, and that they leave nothing OF
that costiveness behiud them too often attend
ing medicines designed for similar purposes
Ten years have justified us in stating the
facts, during which we have had very ex-
sive and constantly increasing sale, for this
truly valuable medicine.
