THE VICAR OF BRAY.
In good king Charles golden DAYS.
When loyalty no harm meant
Jealous high church man was
And so got preferment:
To teach my flock, l never miss'd
Kings are by God appointed,
And damn'd are those that do resist,
Or touch the Lord annonted
And this Is Law, will maintain
Until my dying day, Sir
That whatsoever King shall reign,
I'll be the Vicar of Bray, Sir
When Royal james obtained the crown.
And popery came In fashion,
The penal laws hooted down,
And read the declaration.
The church of Rome l found would fit
Full well my constitution,
And had become Jesuit
But for the Revolution.
And this is Law, &c.
When William was our King declar,d
To ease the Nation S grievance
With this new wind, about steer'd
And Swore to him allegiance;
Old principles did revoke
Set conscience at distance;
Passive obedience Joke
A jest was nOD-reSistance.
And this is Law, &c.
When gracious Anne became our Queen
Theaehurch of Engand's glory,
Another face of things was seen,
And became Tory;
Occasional conformists base,
dam'd their moderation
And thought the church in danger was
By such preyarication.
And this is Law, &c.
When George, in adding time, came DER.
And moderate men look'd big, Sir
turn'd cat pun once more
And So became Wig, Sir;
And thus preferment procurd,
From new Faiths defender
And almost every day abjured
Tine Pope and the Pre;euder.
And this is Law, &C.
The illustrious house of Hanover
The Protestant Succession;
To these, do allegiance swear,
While they can Keep possession;
For in my faith and loyalty,
never more will falter,
But George my lawful King shall be-
Until the times do alter.
And this is Law, will maintain
Until my dying day, Sir,
That whatsoever King shall reign,
I'll be the Vicar of Bray, Sir

VERY AccEPTABLE.--We thank our good
friend, our cleverest of all friends, Mr.. A. B.
Wilkinson, of Cynthiana neighborhood, for a
large two bushel basket Of regular Shanghai
Potatoes. That's the name we have given
them on account of their tremendous size. II
anybody raises bsngger potatoes in Gibson coun-
ty than this Shanghai breed, we should like
TO see them-that's all. Aaron gives us an
opportunity of testing their merits annually.
and we can bear evidence that they degenerate
in neither size nor quality. The dried peach
es he brought is altogether matter between
the ladies, and we have nothing to say about
them--nore than that the scarcity of good
dried peaches by no means makes this present
the less acceptable.

RENDERING TEETH INsENsIBLE TO PAIN
The Dublin Hospital Gazette states that diseas-
ed teeth have been rendered insensible topain
by cement composed of Canada Balsam and
Stacked lime, which is to be inserted in the
hollow of the tooth, like a pill. 1t is stated
that such pills afford immediate relief in all
toothaches but chronic cases of inflammation.
This remedy for toothache is simple, safe, and
can easily be tried by any person.

For the journal,
Markat Hours.

Il
notice with much pleasure that the City
Council have restored the old market arrange
ment by which market is opened an hour before
daylight The industry ofthe Council in pass
ing orders concerning the market is commenda-
bic in the highest degree, and if every body is
not suited in tseon, it is not for want of com
| plaisance on its part.
For one | am fully pursuaded, (taking the
Council as my guide, and who viii be bold
enough to question its wisdom?) that market
regulations should be made to accommodate
the wishes and views of the sellers, and not to
suit the convenience of the community who
are the buyers and consumers What right, I
ask, has any man who values his breakfast to
lay snoozing in bed till daylight? What right
has he to enjoy thatpleasantest Of all times for
sleep, the early morn. in idle snoring, while
the enterprising butcher and the thrifty cabbage
vender is kept waiting in his market stall at
the hazard of being delayed in his breakfast
till the unreasonable hour Of seven? Why
ask should those stirring citizens-who if not
numerous are regular-who drawn by thirst,
early. from their beds are always up at five
why say should they be made to wait? and
ask it feeling ly, being one of them myself
No Sir This is free country, and I wish
every man to have everything his own way;
and am utterly opposed to any privileged class
II a man soiR sleep after 5o'clock, why, let him
sleep. And if he prefers to breakfast at z
O'Clock, instead of by candle light, why, let
him-proyided he can get any. But why
should the butchers-why should be made to-
wait? Answer me that! must get up to
quench my thirst; then why should mot have
my beef and mutton too? tell you il, won't
do; for my part should not object to three
O'Clock, my thirst at times being dreadful at
that hour; and if market were open, it would
be no inconvenience to me whatever to- get up.
I'm for the largest liberty, and those whol
do not choose to light their lanterns and buy
their feed by candlelight may go without, for
aught care? We should not encouraged n-
dolent habits. These are piping times, and
what would the world come to if every body !
