There is one subject to which | wish
to call your attention, that is, good roads.
Every person who has ever travelled
through our country, knows the advan-
tages, and disadvantages attending good
and bad roads Now, to remedy the
latter; it ought to be the business and
care of every one owning or driving
carriages. of two or more horses, as
they are the persons who would be the
most benefited by every Improvement
Now. to effect this, let every man make
to his wagon, double whipple-tree and
neck-yoke, sufficiently long, so that
each horse may travel in line, direct
ly forward of the wheels. Travelling
in this manner would entirely prevent
all ruts, as the horses feet would beat
down and level the small track of each
preceding wagon; and in case some
ruts or holes should begin to make their
appearance, the horses, to avoid them,
would Immediately turn to the right or
left, and the wheels of course would
follow--the consequence of which
would be, smooth, level and durable
roads. with half the expense for re-
pairs which is now laid out upon them
The roads in this State, have, for most
part, been raised in the form of turn
pixies and travelling in this way would
keep them bard and smooth, 80 that af
ter a heavy rain they would soon be
dry, which would entirely prevent the
mud, which is occasioned by the deep
ruts being filled with water.
If the citizens in general could b.
prevailed upon to make this small alter

POETRY.
From The Salem Gaseste.l
.OAC

Many Of us, Of a certain age, remember the
delight which, twenty or thirty years ago,
the tender song of 6. Mary's Dreamy gave
US. To such, particularly if they are par
tial to the sweet and poetical dialect OF
North-Britsin, the following, which is the
original of that song of the heart, may not
be unacceptable.
OLD WAY OF JM.4RY'S DREAM.
THE lovely moon had climb'd the hill
Where eagles big* ahoon the Dee,
And, like the looks of lovely dame,
Brought JOY to ev'ry hody's &C.
A but sweet Mary, deep in sleep,
Her thoughts on Sandy far at sea
A voice drapt saftly on her ear
Sweet Mary, weep nae MAR for me =
She lifted up her weakening cen,
To see from whence the voice might be,
And there she saw her Sandy stand,
Pale, bending on her his hollow ee
20 Mary, dear. lament nae MAR
Pm in deaths shraws, below the sea
Thy weeping makes me sad in bliss
Sac, Mary, weep nae mar for me'
The wind slept when we left the bay,
But soon it walI'd and rais'd the main,
And God he bore us down the deep
We strave VII him but straye in vain!
He stretched his arm and took me up,
Though iaith ! was to gang butt thee.
! look frae heav'n aboon the storm,
Sac, Mary, weep nae MAR for me!'
Take off the bride-sheets frae thy bed,
Which thou hast faulded down for me
Unrobe thee of thy earthly stole
I'll meet with thee in heaven hie.'
Three times the grey cock fapp'd his wing,
To mark the morning lift her ee,
And thrice the passing spirit said,
Sweet Mary, weep nae MAR for me =
Build their nests.-tthrGirs, ttrOes.-t Bla,
without.
