POETRY. THE WOOD-CUTTER. BY BIBDIN. Farremoved from noise and smoke, Hark ! I hear the woodman’s stroke, W io dreams not, as he fells the oak, «What mischicl dire he brews ; How art may shape bis falling trees Xu aid of luxury and ease; He weighs nct matters such as these, But sings, and hacks, and hews, Perhaps, now feil’d by this bold man, The tree shall fora the spruce sedan, Or wheel-barrow, where oysier Nax 85 rans her vulegarning ; ¢ The stage where boxets croud in flocks, Or else the gaacks, or else the stocks, Or posts, or signs, or barher’s blocks, Where smiles the parson’s wig, Thou mak’t bold peasant, O what grief ! The gibbet on which hangs the thiel, The'scat where sits the great lord chiet, Malk’st folly’s whims, pride For children toys, crutches fo age, Zmd coffins for us all. ——tly FIAT ANECDOTE.

To execute, in the most able ana perfect manner the plan so advertised bas been an object never lost sight of by the Subscri- ber, whic has been uhceasingly anxious not only for the splendor and accuracy but prompt execution of the woik. An expectation was entertained that the work would be ready for publication in February 1817, but this expectation canno: ge realized. The publisher duly impressed with th importatce of the duty hie has hoposcd up- cn himsell, is deterinined, that ail the cx. pectations he has raised as to the Accura- cy, Taste, and Splendor of the publication shaii’ be fully realized. The difficuitic that have presented themselves have beer greater than was expecied, and the ex pence incurred heavier than had been cal culated : but the general approbation will which the Proposals were received, fas n- cited the publisher to perseyeiannce, and determines him to make this edition wor- thy the principles which it is intended wo po petuaie, and the nation to whom it shaii b: dedicated. : the Artists employed 3 they are known: could better have been found, they would have been resarted to, on this occasion.

The Emperor of Moroc- en's Ambassador in the reign of Charles the id. visiting among other places ‘Westminster Hall, asked his interpreter, what wa: the profession of the gen- tlemen walking up and dowa in it ? who replied, The Law. "The Ambas- sacder seemed alarmed at the reply, and shaking his head at the multitude of professors, said, ¢in his master’s dominios, though infinitly more extensive, there was but two of that profession allowed, one of whom the Emperor had been obliged to hang, to preserve peace and good hnmor among his people; and the ether he always kept chained up, to pre- veut his doing mischief. Bas NRA RN TE Declaration OF INDEPENDENCE. IN June 1816. the Suberiber issued pro- po: ds tor a splendid, aud in all respects a American edition ef the DECLARATION ®¥ INDEPENDENCE; with fac similics of (lic subscribers to that national docu mcd He advertised that the size of the pa- ger shoud be 836 by 24 inches ; of the bes: quality that Me Amies could man wlactuie. The desig: in bas relicfy encircling the Peclaranan of Lodepencence would be the work of Mr Dmippert It was to be surmounted by (be Aems of the Upiwa Btaies, aad adovavd with medallion Poi trar's of Gouerol Washington, Sohn Hon. eock asd Thomas Jefferson. Lhe Arms to prose its completion, botore the néxi was proclaimed. dence It is found that the Paper will require to be 38 by 26 instead of 36 By 24 inches; as there is no Copper-plate Press suffici- ently large to work off sdch an impression a Press inust be mags for the purpose. The difticulty of pratuming officiel impres- sions, drawings afd, descriptions of the Avms of the regpective States, has proved anottier source of delay. Many of those that have been received, are of so imper- tect and confined a character——the draw- ings so inelegant; and often so inaccurate ; cot conforming in design to the certified description—that it was found indispensa- ble to engage an Astist ol science, taste and skill, to reconcile the discordant ma- terials, and make the drawings harmonize with the deseriptiona on record. This task Mr. Sudly has undertaken; and is pro- ceeding in it with all toe zeal that the sub- ject requires ; and he will compleat the Arms of the several States in such a man- ner as to make this publication the stand- ard of reference for accurate knowledge on tne heraldry of the Union, and as a spe- cimen of National taste, It shall be delivered to subscribers at TEN dollars cach copy; to be paid on de- iivery. The engraving will be accompanied by a Pamrungr, containing the off cial docu- ments connected with the publication as authorities, and a list of the subscribers’ names. The engravings will be delivered to sub- scribers in the order in which they may have subscribed. It is contemplated to have some copies printed on paper prepared to carty colours, to have the Shields accurately tinctured in the modern style ; and the Plants, &c. co- loured Dy one of our most approved water colourers. - The price of those superb ce- pics will be THIRTEEN dollars cach As no move of those copies will be print- 2, than shall be subscribed for, gentiemen who wish for them, are requested to add the word « coloured” to their subscrtipi- on. non-Subscribers, those who have underta- wish to be considered as Patrons of this National Publication, are requested to fur aish their names to the Publisher, on or hefore the 4th day of July next, after which date, no Subscriber can be received on the terms of the original Proposals.
