Thou nrt queer old fellow, John,
I've known ticc many year;
Thou art like q chameleon,
Though twenty times more queer;
For thou canst chang: thy form aud face,
7- Wheno' thou art inclined;
A thousand times more curious ways,
Than con woman g mind.
Nay, sometimes have deemed it true,
When fancy had its sway,
That thou must be the WASDEniNG JEW.
Just travelling this way,
To sec the world and edit books
On our domt site wayR,
And noting down our hooks anu CROOKS
-. To muster cush and praise.
81 For burglary I've seen tbee tried
I've seen thee nhbbed for theit,
And ia the dungeon yawning wlue,
I've seen thy body kept:
Nav, once upon nourniul day,
Oh how my heart wos wrung-
saw thee horne in white AWAY,
And saw thoe-saw thee hung
Ion the spot with weeping eyes,
And homcward turned onco moro;
But as I reached t-in disguise,
saw thee Ut the door:
Forgive me John-l thought smolt
A rank and sulphurous smell
And for while quite sure felt
That all could not be we'll
Thou art a very Turk for wives,
The grand throe-tailed Pacha,
Can count no more Of female lives
Than thou canst do By law:
Full fifty times Ivc seen thee we'd
Have heard Of fhy more;
And slanderous tongues havc sometimes faia
Thy wives were twenty score.
Sometimes thou art to Congress sent,
And hast heen every thing
On earth, except President,
And it muy be, King,
Thou art jack oil every trade,
And can'st in all excel,
Can'st WELD a muSket or spade,
And drive quill as well.
Thou art u jolly registering wight,
Who loves parting glass,
go ere bid ,heo good night,
A health 10 thee, pass:
Where'ur thou art, good luck be- thine,
And if you chance TO die,
Before you go, just drop line,
To tell us where you lie.

ER HI Ferry was established in June last for the
~ purpose of aflording an easy, safe, and expe-
ditous conveyance 10 travellers across the kenne-
bee at Bath The piopretors have on this ferry,
boat measuring Seventy tons, propelled by an en-
gine oflhrty horse power under the management OF
an experienced skilfnl, and careful engineer. 1t
would perhaps be sufficient 10 show the advantages
ofhs ferry the old ferry at Bath to state that
the mail proprietors, changed their mail route from
that ferry to this while the road leading to this
ferry from the East was in very bad order. This
road has recently sbeen very much improved and
now IS IN GOOD REPAIR, and persons crossing
the ferry at Bath, will find this route far superior to
the other in every respect. BY it, the distance be-
tween Path and Wiscasset is shortened "a of
mile, while the passage across the river is at all
times easy, pleasant, perfectly SAFE and performed
in about four ainutes Travellers will find 1t Tor
their interest to pass this way, where constant and
ready attendance is at all times given.
