FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. MR. FENNO, The following paraphrase originally appeared in a much more hmitlea form—bi tuMifhme it with the additions, you will oblige J The Althok. CHARITY 13th Chap. \JI Corinthian!, verjijud. THO' I enraptured wake the unrivall'd lyre, Warm'd with the Muse's or a seraph's fire, In various tongues fublimeft wonders tell, Describe the joys of heaven, the woes of he»l— Tho' I the lofty heights of faience gain, And ait's and nature's myftcrics explain— Tho' fkill'd profoundly in prophetic lore, With piercing ken futurity explore— Tho' I have faith fufticient to ft flam And hurl the ponderous mountains to the mam- Devoid of Charity, 1 shall be found, Vain as a fliadow, empty as a found. Were I poffettVd of affluent India's store, And unreferv'd dispense it to ths poor Tho' I resign my body to the flame, To gain a martyr's or a hero's name— WhUe felfilh motives aftuatemy foul, And every nobler sentiment controul, Void of benevolence, I Hill remain As nothing empty, as a shadow vain. Celestial Charity, fuprcmely kind, Illumes, expands, and animates the mind, To noble and difintcrefted deeds, Allures to holincfs, to glory leads, Disdains each felfifh and contraded plan, And feeksthe general happinels of man— Unenvied views the splendors of the great, And honors merit in the humbleli state— On human frailties cafls a pitying eye, And heaves with woe the fympatnetic sigh Weighs variant tenents with an equal scale—■ Exulting, fees, o'er error, truth pievail — With pristine beauty reinftamps the foul, I'eivades each paflion, and fublimcs the whole ; Dispels each vile afFesiou from the breast, And opes the regions of eternal reft To efvery nation, and to every feft Who fear Jehovah, and his name refpett. Calm lefignation on her votaries waits, To smooth the rugged paths of adverse fates ; And patience mild, dispensing as fhc goes, Her lenient balm, amid a world of woes; And brilliant faith, each dreary scene that cheers, And opes the feats of heaven's perennial years ; Hence {"uffcring merit lifts a hopeful eye, And views those happier scenes beyond the sky, Where equity, enthroned, forever reigns; Where endless pleasures triumph o'er the plains ; Where friendlhip, love, and joy united meet, And injured virtue finds a blest retreat. Hail peerless virtue, lovelieftof the train— Fair Charity!— extend thy mild domain O'er everv land, till war and discord cease, And every nation join in leagues of peace— Till fin and error irom their (eats are hurl'd, And pure religion luminates the world. When art, when science, and prophetic lore— When various languages are known no more— When final ruin o'er the world extends— W T hen faith in vision. hope in glory ends— This godlike virtue Charity divine, Thro' vast eternity shall brighter fiiine— Awake to praises the celestial choirs, Aitune their lays, and animate their lyres. Holy Bible.—Royal Quarto. MR. THOMAS, of Worceder, MafTachufetts, mod refpeft fully informs the public, that he has this day completed the Old and New Testaments of his Royal Quario Edition of the HOLY BIBLE. The Apocrypha and Index, See. will be fin idl ed with all the dispatch the nature of the work will adrair. Such Gentlemen as hold Subscription Papers, he begs will return them to him at Worcejlcr, or to him and Company at Bojlon, by the lad day of November next, and as much sooner as they con veniently can. He is happy to inform the public, that the work has been exa mined by many gentlemen, clergymen and others, and has met with their highcil approbation; both as to the execution of the printing, its corre&nefs, and its cheapness compared with Englifti copies of the fame size and quality. As this very laborious and exceedingly expensive undertaking, is carried on solely at his own cod, he is led to hope that all those who wish to poflefs a large Family Bible, will so far encourage this laudable undertaking of their countryman, 2s to add their names to the fubf«ription. ll'6rceJlcr,Sept. 29, 1791 TO BE SOLD, And pofleflion given immediately, That pleasantly situated Farm Whereon the fubferiber now lives IT lies on the road from Princeton to Brunfwick, about a mile and a half from the former.

AT this important cri(is,the ideas that fill the mind, are preg nant with events of the greatest magnitude—to strengthen and complete the union of the States—to extend and pro eft their commerce —to explore and arrange the national funis —to reftoreand establish the public credit—will require i\\c energies of the patriots and sages of our country—Hence the propriety of encreafivg the m diums of knowledge and information. AMERICA, fiorn this period begins her national existence— " the world is all before he r"—the wifd.om and ;01l v— the mifrry and profpentv of the empires,Jlates y and kingdoms, which have had.their day Upon the great theatre of time, and arc now no more, fugged the mod important mementos —these, with the rapid series of events, in which our country lias been involv d, have taught the enlightened citizens of the United States, that freedom and government, liberty and laws, are inseparable. This convi&ion led to the adoption of the new constitution; for however various the sentiments, refpe£hng the merits of this system, all good men are agreed in the necefli y of an efficientfe deral government. A paper, therefore, established upon national, independent, and impartial principles—which shall take up the premif;d ai tides, upon a competent plan, it is prefurAed, will be highly intereftmg, and meet with public approbation and patronage. Tiie Editor of this publication is determined to leave no avenue of information unexplored :— He solicits the afliftance of pcrfons of leifureand abilities—which, united with his own assiduity, he flatters himfelf will render the Gazette of the United States not un worthy general encouragement and is, with due refped, the public's humble servant, April 15, 1789, (t. f.) THE plan and execution of the Gazette of the United States, have received the approbation of a tribunal, from which there is no appeal. The fubfenptions, which are encreafing, have long finee exceed ed the expectations of the publisher—a punctual compliance with the terms would compensate his labours, and animate his future exertions. The Government that an enlightened and free people adopt, is a sacred consideration—it knows no party —and its prolperity is founded 011 the public good. While the people are just r .o themselves, the administration of their affairs wiil be committed to men of integrity and competent abilities ; and it will be the duty of patriotism to impress the pub lic mind with favorable sentiments of the meaiuies ol govern- ment, Our country continuing enlightened and free, the period can not be anticipated when a publication on the plan of this Gazette fball involve a dereli£tion of those principles with which the li berties and happiness of the United States are conne&ed. With refpeft to the circulation of this paper, the Editor regrets the recent difcppointments which have unavoidably taken placc— he has always been fully inipreffed with the importance ot punc tuality. and cannot charge himfelf with a fiigle initance ot ic miffnefs. It is very generally supposed that Congress, at the ensuing feflion, will take measures to ensure the circulation of news- PAPERSin the United States; and particularly their tranfnr.'lion from the Scat ol Government to all parts of the Union. Juilice, policy and patriotism, plead irrefiftably in favor of some ciiettual provifiera's being made. The following pertinent and judicious obfervatiows on this fubjeft, lately appeared in an address to the public from the Editor of the Gazette of Maine. They are substituted in preference to any thing which the editor of this paper might further suggest, more particularly as coming from a remote quarter of the Union. Perhaps there is no country, in any part of the world, the in habitants of which are, for may be) supplied with public News papers at a cheaper rate than those of America. The Farmer 2nd the Merchant, the Laborer and the Mechanic, may, by the means of a public Paper, when he retires from the business and fatigues of the day, take a view of the situation, the circumitances and the various revolutions of the several countries of the civilized world — And it mud be a pleasing.circumstance, that this is the privilege* emphatically the privilege of an American. 44 Let it tnerefore be remembered, that by virtue of this privi lrge, the body of the people constantly obtain and prefeive such a degree of knowledge as (Tiall be competent to the prevention of any attempt that may be made by cunn:ng and defigmng men to ,sap the foundation of our mod iuvaluable conflitution. But, let the circulation of these Vehicles of Public Information becircurrf fcribed, and the people will at once become uninformed of public tranfa&ions, and the more enlightened Jew will engross the privi leges, immunities and prerogatives, which in the nature and fi'.nels of things, are the indefeafible right of the whole body ot the people. u It is piefumed no American will need a ftimnlus of this na ture to furnifh himfelf with public information. The cheap rate at which it is offered, the love and glory of our country, will at all times promote such a mode of conduct, as shall forever bar tie attempts of tyranny, ignorance and fuperilition." <p- Several of t!:e f.rjl vJume ef this Gazette are wantei-c'fi, and the eriginal coJi t wi Übe iidid for them by the Editor.
