The following attempt at metrical des-
cription, savours not so much of the beau-
ties of refined poetry, as it is remarkable
for its singularity and proximity, in par.
ticular instances, to nature and truth. It
is from the pen of Dispin.
From tae Port Forro.
I made a promise to be wise,
But ’twas a promise out of season ;
So much so that I’m sure he lies,
Who says he always follows Reason.
I soon grew tir'd of Wisdom’s dream
And turning from Pale melancholy,
Fell on the opposite extreme—
But I, at last soon grew tir’d of Folly.
~ Thus seperate, what was next to do ?
Perhaps ’twould keep them to their tethers
If I could work upon these two
To live in harmony together.
_ After, of course, a little strife,
"Twas settled without farther pother,
One should be treated as a wife,
And only as a mistress t'other.,
Her portion of my joys and cares
Now each, by my appointment measures ;
Reason-=-transacts my affairs,
And Folly manages my pleasures.

INSTRUCTIONS TO A PORTER.
YOU to whose care I’ve now consign’d
My house’s entrance, caution use,
While you discharge your trust; and mind
Whom you admit, and whom refuse.
Let no rude passions enter here,
Passions the raging breast that storm,
Nor scornful Pripg, Nor servile Fear,
Nor Hate nor Envy’s palid form
Should Av’rice call, you'll let her know,
Of heap’d up riches I’ve no store,
And that she has no right to go
Where Plutus has not gone before.
Lo! on a visit hither bent,
High plum’d Ambition stalks about :
But shouid he enter, sweet ConTENT
Will give me warning—turn him out.
Perhaps the Muse may
And though full oft I’ve bent the knee,
And long invoy’d her magic sway,
Smit with the love of Harmony ;
pass this way,
AroxE though she might please----yet still
I know she’ll with ambition come,
With love of fame my heart she’ll fill,
She'll break my rest---I’m not at home.
* There is a rascal, old and ‘hideous,
Who oft (and sometimes not in vain)
Close at my gate has watch’d assiduous,
In hopes he might admittance gain :
His name is CARE—If he should call,
Quick out of doors with vigor throw him
And tell the miscreant, once for all,
Iknow him not, I ne'er will know him.
Perhaps then Bachus foe to Care,
May think he'll sure my favor win *
His promises of joy are fair
But false-+--you must not let him in.
But welcome that sweet poweron whom
he young Desires attendant move,
1 flush’d with Beauty’s vernal bloom,
Parent of joy, the Qeen of Love.
O! You will know her, she has stole,
The lustre of my Delia’s eye ;
A t her, hail her, for my soul
Breathes double life when she is nigh.
1, then, stern Wisdom at my gate
Should knock, with all her for i
mal t
Tell her I’m busy, she may wait, Pan
Qr, if she chooses----call again,

About the close«of the revolutionary war
in this country, several officers dined to-
gether at the house of Col. P ya gen-
‘tleman distinguished for pleasing manners
and good sense. The bowl, the anecdote,
the laugh and the song went round.
. Lieut, Fitzpatrick related the following
Tittle incident very much in the following
manner: «At the battle of Bunker’s Hill,
‘which,d--n their bull was Breed’s hil}
a Scotchman named Frazier, almost as fond
by G+ of thymz as of rum, and as brave
~ fellow by the Lie--+--,as if he had been an
Ivishman, and G---d---n me, if there are
Braver on any continent; thig d---d fool
» Mir, which is now in good order
5
stood next me in the ranks, (for Twas then
a Yankee volunteer as full of fight as the
d--1,) & after we hadjfortified with green hay
by the L-—~-, Frazier who had charged deep
with hogo that morning, bawled out as the
British were advancing, .
% Now d----n it give us fair play,
« And down we'll mow’em like hay.”
« Mow ’em we did, by G=--, till their coats
G---d---n 'm to h--1I, were dyed over again *’
Col. P——-, who had served in the south-
ern army, then related the following an-
ecdote in this unusual way: « Tarleton
was as you know an active officer ; he was
not a little vain of his exploits---tongs and
bottle. He once observed to a young lady
of South Carolina----bottle and 'tongs---
that he most heartily wished ——-little
tong and little bottle---he. could once see
‘that famous major Washington.—Great
tongs and little bottle—« You might have
seen him” replied the young lady, & if you
had turned your head at the battie of the
Cowpens’—Great tongs and great bottle.”
. When the laughter which followed this
anecdote had ceased, Fitzpatrick exclaim-
ed. « A geod thing by G—-, colonel, only
you spoiled it with that G—d—d bottle and
tongs. What was that for colonel I” « Oh,
(answered the colonel) that was in the place
of oaths, and permit me to say, had quite as
much sense.”

Deserted this day, June 1, from the
Redezvous at Bellefonte, an
DAVID THARE,
A private in the 4th Ritle’ Regt. torn in
Duches county, state of New York, and by
profession a Shoemaker. He is ful] six feet
high, about thirty nine years old-——complex-
lon very dark, sharp nese, black eyes, and
dark hair ; was enlisted on the 24th ult
at Mill Hall, in this. county. His clothes
(Raving none beleaging to the United States)
cannot be minutely described. He had on
a light grey long coat wily large aiit but.
tons, a pair of coarse Home-made tow
trowsers, cross-varred, and a pair of half”
boots, very short ard old.
It is earnestly hoped that all citizens fa.
vorble to the interests of their country,
will make usc of some exertions to ensure
his apprehension, as every recent desertion
appears purposely to defraud goverpment.
There are now upwards of one thousand
deserters running at large, so that every
suspicious character ougnt to be taken up
and strict;y examined.
Whoever apprehends said deserter, shall
receive tie above Reward, & all reasonable
expences for securing or cclivering him
into [ie custody of any United States’ offi-
cer. :

+ JAMES KASCADEN,
A private in the 4th Rifle Regiment, twen-
ty onc ycars old, six feet, one inch high; yel-
low complexion, dark eyes and dark hair,
and by profession a laborer. - His clothing
(not having uniform) cannot well be recol-
lcced further than his having a ‘Wool Hat,
Home-made Trowsers, and it is believed a
Roundabout or Coatec. :
It is earnestly hoped that citizens will ex-
ert themselves in apprehending said deser-
ter. He enlisted on Saturday last, and
his premature desertion induces a belief that
he may probably agam enlist, to defraud
the United States. He said he was born
in Northumberland county, Pennsylvania.
Any person apprehending said deserter
shall receive the above reward, and all rea-
sonable expences paid for delivering him .
into the hands of any officer of the United
