o! sister CITY. now in tears
Ofbitterness, thou weepest sore;
On thee, the angry cload appears,
And heavily the tempest Jour;
Within thy gates the voice of woe
Is heard-thers fingers fell despair!
The beauty ofthy house is low
The pale Destroyer walketh there!
The aged fathers heart is riven.
His prop Is hurried tothe grave;
The babe, sweet cherub, lately given.
Hath fled--heav'n claimsthe boon it gave.
In Rama, lamentations sigh,
!, The midnight burst of grief was known,
In thee, how oft the mother's'cry
Hath told her bosom's treasure flown!
While in thy street thetrophied king,
Rides forth upon his phantom steed,
And bids his lance new conquests bring,
And bids again fresh victims bleed:
Be ours thesympathizing part
To pluck away the ranking spear,
Be ours, upon the broken heart,
To pour compassicn's holytearl
O THoui who, on the storm caresring,
Deal'st the red thundcr to thy foes,
o TaoU! who in the calm appearing,
Speak'st to the trembler, sweet repose,
We ask thy help, for help is thine, aa
Bid the Death-Angel now forbear,
Though meath thy foot-stool terrors shine,
Thy mercy seat, . Con! is there! $@

THEAMpoRTANcE OF PUNcTUALITy.
Method is thevery hinge of businesses;

THEAMPoRTANCE OF PUNcTUALITY.
Methods the very hinge Of businesses;
and there is no method without punc-
Ituality. Punctuality is important, be-
cause it.subserves the peace and good
temper of family: the want of it not
only infringes on necessary duty, but
sometimes excludes this duty. The
Icalmness of mind which it produces, is
another advantage of punctuality. A
disorderly man is always in hurry !;
he has no time to speak to you, because
he is going elsewhere; and when he
gets there, be 10 too late for his bust
ness Jor he must hurry away to anoth-
er before he can finish it. Punctuality
gives weight to character. Such a
man has made an appointment Then |
know he will keep, And this pro-.
duces punctuality in yos; for, like o.
ther virtues, il propagates itself. Ser
wants and children must be punctual
where their leader is 80. Appoint
ments indeed, become debts. q / owe
you punctuality, i'll have made an ap-
pointment with you; and. have no right
to throw away your time, if ! do my
own. ~

THE subscriber takes leave to inform
4. bis friends and The public, that he has
taken that large and well known tavern
establishment, known by the name OF the
UNION TaVE Il ",
in Georgetown, few minutes walk only
from the Presidents House and the pub
Offices. He will be provided With the
best of liquors, bedding, stabling, and in
short, with every thing necessary for the
convenient and comfortable accommoda-
ton of travellers, and for permanent and
transient boarders. Private families OF
members of Congress and others can, at
all times, be furnished with private, COM
Portable and well furnished rooms, with
good and faithful servants to attend upon
them. There is, perhaps, no house Of
public entertainment in this country better
calculated for the purpose than this, and
none, it may be safely affirmed, IN this
District at all equal to it. The house is
now undergoing some improvements, and
will in the course ola few days, be ready
for the reception of company. There are
four or five lines of stages which run to
and from this house daily; and there is an
excellent well constructed steam boat
which plies every day between George
town and Alexandra.
The subscriber who lately kept the tav-
erp at Rossburgh, near BladeDsburgb,
deems it unnecessary here TO make dis
play of promises for giving satisfaction TO
those who may think fit to favor him with
their custom; but this much he will say.
that no exertions on his part, shall be
wanting, to give general satisfaction, and
he does hope that from his experience in
this line OF business, and his general dis
position to please, to enjoy full share OF
public patronage. His charges too, shall
be regulated by the present aud increasing
OF money; so that bis custo-
mels may expect not only the best accom-.
dations, but reasonable balls also.
