THE PRINTER.
AN EXTRACT.

Perhaps it may not be amiss to rcmember
the Printer in my discourse. He is in very
difficult and disagreeable situation. lie
trusts every body, ne knows NOT whom: his
money is scattered every where, he hardly
knows where to look for it. His papev. his
ink, presses and his types. his labor and his
living, all must be punctually paid for. You
Mr.---, and Mr.---and Mr.. and a
hundred others that conld name, have ta-
Ken his newspaper great while-you and
your wives and yonr children and your
neighbours, have been amused and inform
ed and hope improved BY it-if you miss
one paper you think very hard Of the prin-
Ter or post for it, for you had rather go
without your best meal than without your
paper. Have you ever complied with the
conditions OF subscriptions Have you taken
as much pains to furnish the printer with
ms money as he has to furnish you with his
PapeT Have you contributed your mite t.

THE SLAVE SHIP.
No surge on the sea,
No cloud was on the day,
when the ship spread her white wings,
Like sea bird on her way.
Ocean lay bright before,
The shore lay green behind,
And breath Of spice and balm
Came the landward wind.
There rose q cursc and wall,
As that vessel left the shore;
And last looks sought their native land,
Which should dwell there no morc
Who seeing the fair ship
That swept through the bright waves,
Would dream that tyrants trod her deck,
And that her freight was slaves
BY day was heard the lash,
BY night the heavy groan;
For the slaves blood was on the chain
That fetered to the bone
Was one in that dark slip,
A prince in his own land;
He scorn'd the chain he scorn'd the threat
fe scorn'd his fettcr'd hand.
lie called up his tribe,
And said they might be Nee!
And his brow was cold and stern,
ne pointed to the sea.
Next night sullcn sound.
Was heard amid the wave!
The tyrlnts sought their cap6ves,-
They only found their grave.

overheard And as a contamination OF ms
character, he had no sooner landed at Ma
tanzas than he assaulted one Of the inhabi-
tants, stabbing him in three places with a
knife, which it was feared would prove fatal.
He was soon after arrested, and committed
for trial. He is said to have expressed It as
his determination, should he be equally for
tunate to escape the gallows IN Matanzas,
which Heaven forbid, to become Pirate,

Americans who should be SO unhappy as to
fall in his way. What charity is there in ex-
