rs now in good order for crossing all persons
Il travelling from the states east Of the Mis-
sissippi, to 81. Charles, Boon's Lick, or Sab
River, in the territory of Missouri; and is three
miles nearer from Milton to Madam Grihith's,
near Portage de SiO1ir, than any other road now
travelled. CT The subscriber has caused the
roads leading to and from the Ferry to be put
in good repair has an excellent set of boats
and hands and, owingto the particular form of
the river at low water, and during all the fall
and winter months, he can make three trips
across the river Mississippi, at this ferry,
than one trip can be made at any other ferry
on the same river within the state, by which
travellers will not meet with any detention or
delay: and that they may not be misled, or
made to go out Of the road, all persons de-
srous of travelling this way, will please to fol-
low these directions:
On leaving Milton for the river, keep the
left-hand road at the foot of the bluff. 1t is le-
vel and dry. In travelling to the east from st.
Charles to the state of Illinois, take the right
hand road when you get within about mile
of Smeltzer's, where you will observe the
marks of sign-board knocked down. In pass
ing this way you will not be detained by high
winds.
or The subscriber keeps TAVERN at
the Ferry, for the accommodation of travellers.

RVHE subscriber hatters himself, that,
Il on the first day of July next, he
will be able to manufacture MER-
CHANT BILE FLOUR, to supply our
market, also ST. Louis market. He
hopes by that means to prevent the stran-
gers from glutting said markets any lon
ger; and by that means the citizens OF
our state will have chance of market
for their wheat at said mill. Good Mer-
charitable Wheat will be received, pro-
vided it weighs 62a pounds per bushel.
Those who prefer to have their own
wheat manufactured, can be accommo-
dated at the reasonable price ofone dol
lar per barrel, but will not manufacture
less than fifty bushels at time. The
public at large can receive, at my mill,
flour for wheat, and corn-meal for corn,
as far as practicable. The mill will ge-
morally be closed at sun set.
The subscriber has also for sale a
large quantity of ASH PLANK, the
greatest part well seasoned, which he
will sell at two dollars and fifty cents per
hundred feet; SHEATHING at two
dollars per hundred; Walnut PLANK
of the best quality, and SCANTLING
of every description, at the reduced price
of three dollars per hundred feet; also,
CHERRY PLANK and SCANTLING
for cabinet-makers, at FIVE dollars per
hundred feet. He has also a COAL
BANK, of the best quality of any other
in the state, situated in the bluff, about
half mile above the French village, be-
tween George Swaggart's and the sub
subscribers farm, which he will sell at
twelve and half cents per bushel, at
said coal bank, or twenty five cents per
bushel delivered in the town of St. Louis.

MERCY.
III sELLEcK OSBORN.

DY sELLEcK OSBORN.
20 crown creations mighty plan,
The Almighty Mandate thunder'd forth,
"Let procreant earth produce q MANI"
And straight the creature sprung to birth.
Health, strength and beauty cloth'd his frame
He mov'd with majesty and grace;
A bright, pure angelic fame
Humid each feature of his face.
Upon his brow sat calm repose,
His eyes with love and mildness shone;
Till grim band of imps arose,
And mark'd the victim for their own.
There ENVY and REVENGE pourtray'd
The sulen frown, the threatening eye;
There curs'd INGRATITUDE display'd
The foulest blot-the blacklist dye.
And AVARICE, ambitious too,
To plant her odious image there,
Cast Ger his cheeks sallow hue,
And wrinkled marks of worldly care.
In wrath, the ETERNAL view'd the stain,
Which marr'd the offspring of his word,
Spurn'd the weak wretch with high disdain,
And babe stern JUSTICE lift her sword!
But MERCY, Heavens LOWEST child,
Imploring knelt before the throne
Alternate pray'd, and wept and smii'd,
With angel sweetness all her own
Then turn'd to MAN, with kind embrace,
And wept to see his dire decay;
Fer tears fell plenteous on his face,
And wash'd the hdeous blots away.
