.IIllI&A of situation, is probably not sur
- passed by any in this County. TWAS
I lately owned and improved by Mr. Paul Gates.
a! is situated about one mile from the main
street, in Worcester, on the great County roads
leading from Worcester TO Sutton, and from
Worcester To Grafton, and very near the banks
Of tho Blackstone Canal. 1t consists of about
100 acres of Land, of which so acres are in
high state of cultivation, suitably divided into
lots, well fenced and watered. About so acres
are Wood Land and Pasture, at convenient
distance from the Buildings, most of which may
be easily converted into good Tillage Land.
There is comfortable Dwelling House, COM
handing an extensive view of Worcester Viii
llge, including its public buildings and the site
Of the Lunatic Hospital, soon TO be erected on
Suinmer-street. There is Barn so feet by
80, convenient Out Buildings. good Orchard
with small variety of Fruit Trees in bearing.
| This Farm was appraised, three or four years
ago, by good judges, at $500. 1t is now Of
tered for much lower sum, because the pro-
prietor is not in a situation TO occupy it. For
gentleman, fond of agricultural pursuits and
yet attached 10 the enjoyments and advantages
Of social life, more eligible situation could
hardly be selected.
Those disposed to purchase are invited 10 ex-
anime tie Estate soon, and judge for them
selves. An undisputed title will be given, and
{ long credit FOR the lrhOie of the purchase
money if desired Application may be made

THE FAT MAN.

Oh-woe for pursy gentlemen
The short and thick of frame;
With unlike bodies that would put
A Dutchman's vrow to shame
Wo-for the round and bulky man
The greasy and the fat
The FIVE feet high by four feet broad
A walking tallow-vat
! have handsome country-seat
And pleasant rooms in town,
keep noble pair OF steeds,
For driving up and down
My garb is of the coslliest-
My steeds are dapple gray
Eve friends who sup with me by night,
And dine with me by day.
But am one of those who bear
The curse of fat with them,
Enveloping their choicest gifts
Like each around gem.
And then | have an altitude
Too Pygmean by far
Dat measuring in circumference,
My perpendicular.
And with spirit all alive,
And sensitive and proud,
bear my massy frame about
AWlust the JeStihS crowd =
And some will smile and all will stare
And some will roar with laughterj
And lanky skeletons will point
Their bony fingers after.
The ladies' too are dumb with fear,
Or struggling with smile
Wiener make my awkward bow,
And talk of love the while
They turn them from my dashing greys,
And from my country-seat-
And love each needy skeleton
That kneels before their feet.
Oh-tell me not that mirth and joy
To giant bodies fall
Your over-grown and mammoth-men
Are melancholy all
Nay-rather than this hill of flesh"-
I'd be Barber's post
The mummy of an Esquimaux-
Or Calvin Edson's ghost!
