Fellow Citizens efthe !Senat.

Unwilling to surrender the agency al
Iotted to me in the conduct of our public

thank my fellow citizens for their marks
of favor and kindness with which they
have honored me, and to give expression
to that lively sense of gratitude to which
! am forever bound under any change Of
my private condition, and through every
alteration efthe public sentiment, towards
me. A belief that had given universal
satisfaction in the discharge Of every du-
fty to the state, could only arise from an
excess Of presumption. Feelings created
b. such persuasion would be too ex-
quisite for the enjoyment Of erring man,
and are reserved Tor tina, millennial Pc
riod where virtue without alloy and a
wisdom that never fails shall occupy the
Judgements Of human inirmity. To
those who have been dissatisfied with my
public acts appeal for the exercise Of a
liberali,y which springs from a. know
ledge Of the frailty and weakness atten-
dant upon every SON Of Adam, and for the
employment Of a magnanimity which
will change my errors to an involuntary
wandering Of the judgment, and leave
the integrity Of my intentions free from
approach.

How to tell Horses age by his teeth.

The following article is copied from a
valuable work completed, and lately pub
lished by Mr.. Foster. of Winchester,
Va under the title of the Domestic
Animals Friend, or the complete Virginia
and Maryland Farrier." A horse that has
ARRIVED at an age fit for service ought to
have forty teeth, twenty four grinders,
twelve fore teeth, and four tusks. Mares,
however, have but thirty SIX, except when
they happen to have tusks, which is by no
means common. 1t is by the fore teeth
and tusks that the age of a horse is TO be
Judged of, and as they are not generally
|put to service until they come three years

The rest agreed to close the rear,
After some intercession--
And altogether, made queer
And curious procession.
Some were persuaded that they saw
The band of French marauders;
And not few declared they heard
The officers give orders.
These words could be distinguished then,
"Dier," "Helderkin.' and "rete )"
And when they heard the last, they thought
The French desired a treaty.
So three good, sober-minded men
Were chosen, straight, to carry
Terms to the French, as Ministers
Plenipotentiary.
These moving on with conscious fear,
Did for an hearing CALL
And begged moments leave, to speak
With the French General.
The advancing foe an answer made,
But tit was quite provoking)
Not one of them could understand
The language it was spoke in.
So there they stood in piteous plight,
Twas ludicrous to see;
Until the bul-frogs came in sight,
Which shamed them nightly.
Then all went home, right glad to save
Their property from pilIage;
And all agreed to blame the man
Who first alarmed the village.
Some were well pleased and some were mad,
Some turned it off in laughter;
And some would never speak word
About the thing, thereafter.
Some vowed, If Satan came at last,
They did not mean to fee him.
But if frog they ever passed,
Pretended not to see him.
God save the State of Rhode Island
And Providence Plantations;
May we have ever at command
"Good clothing, pay and rations,''
One good old rule, avoiding strife,
I've followed since my youth
To always live an uitright lie,
And tell the downright truth. ARION.

From the Northern UHig.

YANKEE BrTToNs.-A few days ago the " but
ton market in this place was threatened with q
"serous depression" Gas the commercial folks say)
lin consequence of the arrival of eastern travelling
merchant, who offered this. his sole commodity, at
lsuch very low prices as TO induce number Of
|shopkecpers purchase stock for years. He had
hardly gone, however, before it discovered that
his wares rather toe slender for durable service
which was owing, probably, to the bass wood Of
which they were made, having been sawed the
wrong way of the grain. The buttons were as
well made as such buttons need to be, and we'll
vanished withal--so that this unaccountable blum
der is really a serious misfortune.
A similar error, it was observed by merchant,
when he heard of the above circumstance, occurred
in the manufacture of parcel of nutmegs, THAI
were several years since brought to this MARKET
except, that in this case, the fault lay in wrong
selection oftimber-" Those" he said, " that welr
made of sassalras, were toerabIy good; but those
made of elm and beach want worth d."
