POETICAL. FOR THK ltKFLlKTOH. ADDRESS TO A YOUNG LADY. \*oi: .s the friendless muster of the globe, /• n 1 keen the ingrate’s he.u*t-inserted probe ; ’Rut keener woes that wretch is doomed to prove, The poorer hern.it of tinfneiulcd love ! Oli, Woman ! subtle, lovclv, faithless sex ! Horn to enchant, thou studiest to perplex ; Adored as queen, thou play’st tlie tyrant’s part, And taught to govern, would’st enslave the Heart. ‘Now, cold as ice plant, fickle as the wind, Nor pity melt, nor pride can fire thy mind Kow, warm and faithful as the cooing dove, Thou breath’st no wish, and smg’st no note tout love In thee has nature such elastick power, She changes seasons as she turns the hour; In one short day you rpll through every sign, From Passion’s tropics to Decorum’s line. Now from above, in vertic heat you blaze, And melting stoics half enamoured gaze; Now, dim from ’far your rays obliquely gleam, And freeze the current of the poet’s stream. Tints through o»;r system, nature’s frolick child, Fair Woman roves, a comet bright and wild ; Supreme in art, our purblind sex she rules— Wits may be lovers—lovers must be fools. Literary Intelligence. JOURNAL OF THK TIMES, BY PAUL ALLEN'. ESq. Ill the present age of Pmspeutusscs, while the long white and dreary leaves, unhonored by the name of a single subscriber, are dang ling from the walls of a Bookseller’s Store, while they haunt all our places of public re sort, dedicated to business or to pleasure, while they infest alike, the toilette of female beauty and the counting house of the mer chant, the subscriber is perfectly sensible ol the risque of attempting a new project with Yio other aid. Utterly indeed should he de spond if he measured his hopes of success by a standard so abortive and so fallacious. 3ut lie would fain believe, although vanity may be the prompter, that the public would not, without further evidence than has yet been presented, accuse him of wantonly sport ing with public confidence—lie would lain indulge the thought that they would expect something more than empty promises, some thing more than a disposition to receive and to abuse their patronage. Influenced and animatedby this hope, lie presumes to lay be fore a liberal and an enlightened public liis plan of a periodical work to be issued once a week, and to bo denominated Journal of The Times. In the front of this work, it is proposed to give a summary or an analysis of the pas sing events both foreign and domestic, ac companied by such observations as the sub ject is calculated to inspire without mingling into the party politicks of tlie day—it is to assume a character neither Fedeial nor De mocratic, but rigidly American. Our party heats and animosities are now reduced only to a paltry quarrel about a name, and the words of President Jefferson have become at last literally fulfilled, that so far as regards all great enlarged national purposes we “ have indeed become all Republicans and all Fed eralists.” It is proposed to make the con templated Journal in some measure a record of our domestic concern. When wc behold the stately spires, the sumptuous edifices, the large and commodious streets—the grand and magnificent improvements which are vi sible every where in this superb city, when we witness the deafening roar of our carriages and drays—the charriots that thunder through our walks—the clang that resounds from the hammer of the industrious median* ick—tlie bustle and confusion of our fellow citizens as they meet in tlie public highways, all intent on business or amusement—when wc behold the blue waters of tlie bay, enli vened by the snowy wings of departing or of returning commerce, shall we not take an honest pride in surveying the progressive grandeur, magnificence ami opulence of Bal timore ? Poston boasts of her Literary Mag azine and her Atlicneuin ; Ncw-York, her Monthly Magazine; Philadelphia, her Port Folio and her Analectic Magazine, and shall it bo said that Baltimore will not emulate such examples! It is proposed further, to enliven the pre sent work with Biograpliick Sketches of some of our eminent men, w ho have rendered their names illustrious in arts or in arms. A portion ot the pages of this Journal, it is contemplated to devote to the progressive advances of American literature, to notice such works as bear the stamp and insigna of native genius. Be it our task further, to follow the trium phant charriot of our Redeemer when lie <* rides forth conquering and to conquer,” whether his victorious wheels roll over the burning sands of Africa or the plains of Iliu- dostan—we will endeavor to trace the white wings of mercy’s dove in whatever firmament he is seen bearing the Olive. Norshall the Muses be neglected—wc shall rejoice to hear the sounds of the American lyre echoed from the pages of the Journal, and with peculiar pleasure Would wc take *. reluctant merit by the,hand and lead tin blushing stranger into day.” In short, wc hope by the assistance of those literan friends, who have pledged their support, to make the Journal a welcome visitant to ali ranks and classes of our fellow citizens. Conditions.—‘The Journal will be printed n handsome paper with new type, and con tain lb large pages, and will be delivered to subscribers every Saturday atg4 a year, half yearly in advance. {fcj* Subscriptions will be received at the Office of the Reflector. MISCELLANY. THE UNIVERSAL PANACEA. Tlie ancients were in quest of an rlixcr that would cure all diseases : they sought it in vain. The moderns have been more for tunate in one respect : their panacea, though not universal, is powerfully efficient. It cures a variety of ills and ailments which “ flesh is heir to.” This wonderful nostrum is expressed by one word : a Bank. What docs not a bank accomplish ? Is a town to be built in a situation where nature never intended one ? You must es tablish a Bank. Is the town at a stand for want of capital ? You must set up an Architectural Bank. Are manufactures paralized, and any par ticular establishments languishing for want of support ? You must establish a Manufac turing Bank. Is a road wanting—a canal to be dug, or a river to be cleared out ? The resource is, a Bank for Internal Improvement. Are tlie poor to be educated, and schools to be established ? Some ingenious projector immediately starts the idea of a Literary Bank. Is a city to be supplied with fresh water— or the making of puts and pans to come in as an incidental employment ? You may es tablish a Manhattan Bank. Do you wish to convert a desert into a blooming paradise ? Place a Bank in its centre, and vegetation springs out of its sands. Do you wish to level mountains ? Erect a Bank, and the hills bow before it. In fact, so convenient is Ibis machinery, that wc must not be surprized to find our bread baked, our clothes manufactured, and children not only improved, but generated, as if by magic. Take a bird’s-eye view of the map of the country ; see the wonders which are effci.t- ed in different places by the creation ol banks, and you will admit their power. Then, take a nearer view of the effects which they produce in detail in any one town, the number of wants which they relieve; and their astonishing efficacy is still more strik ing. Does a man without capital wish to estab lish a store or a manufactory ? His friends advise him to go into the Bank. Does he design to make a grand specula tion in lands ? Why, go into the Bank. Does a merchant wish to make some great dash in produce ?—The means are before linn. The hank furnishes every facility. Only be at the trouble of writing your name once upon a scrap of pnper—and like the touch of Midas it turns into gold. What a multitude of little wants too does it relieve ? The bank furnishes one so con veniently with market money—cash to buy beef and cabbage, sugar and spirit—And e- ven if your wife wants a new sliawl, she kindly reminds you to put your note into lac bank and draw out the money. And then it is so convenient to serve your friends ! Was ever a more friendly or charitable institution invented for the solace and accom modation of a citizen—or for the growtii and prosperity of a great nation ? This, my masters, is one side of tlie pic ture. In iny next, you shall have the other. Richmond Compiler. STOP THE VILLAIN. The consequence of white villains trading with negroes. RUNAWAY from tlie subscri ber, living in tlie lower part of Morgan county, Georgia, on the 4tli inst. a bl ight mulatto fellow, named PETER, (though he may jj] change hi* name) twenty-two ~ years old, and has no beard at all, upwards of six feet high, stout made, grayish eyes, rather a down look, slow speech, and artful in telling a story. Being detected in some of his villainy, no doubt is eu- tei tained but some white associate has given him a pass to go to North Carolina, Chatham county, or to pass as a freeman ; and in order to effect his escape with more ease, lie has stolen a likely sorrel mare, with rather light mane, has an ap pearance of a small white spot in the forehead, a remarkable white spot on each side of the neck, a few saddle spots, and one hind foot white, not recollected which, but believed to be the right, shod before, nearly five faet high, paces and can ters well, judges' would suppose her to be twelve years old or upwards. It is deemed useless to mention the above villain’s clothing, for he is such a proficient in the art of stealing, that he i an change them at his leisure—take notice, he is a great gambler, but lias no trade,being brought up to farming. Any person who will secure the said villain and mare, so that 1 get them, or de liver them to me,at my residence, shall be hand somely rewarded, and all reasonable expences paid. GEORGE MARTIN.
