POETRY. 3t£3*£:»£3*£3*C£i;3<£3!£3u: A MORAL THOUGHT. IN youth gay scenes attraft our eyes, And not fufpefting their decay Life’s flow’ry field before us rife, Kegardlcfs of its winter day: But vain pursuits, and joys as vain* Convince us life is but a dream. Death is to wake to rife again, To that true life I bell eftccm. So nightly on the flowing tide, . Oft have I seen a raree-thow } Reflected liars on either fide, And glittering moons were seen belotf. But when the tide had ebb’d away, The feene fantaftic with it fled, A bank of mud around me lay* And sea-weed on the river’s bed. THE fubferiber desirous of feeing the trade of this coun try on a footing equally advantageous to the merchant and planter, did, while in New-York last spring, form a correfpoptfence with MelTrs. THOMAS & OSBORN HAR WOOD & Co, Merchants In Amllerdam, who have lately authorifed him to receive confignmentj to their address: —He therefore informs the Plahters, that he will receive produce, and Ihip it on account of the owners, and engage the neat proceeds to be remitted them agreeable to their order. He expetts one of the Gentlemen concerned to fettle here in a Ihort time, when this business, if approved of on trial* may be extensively carried on. From this experiment the Planter cahnot be a loser; as his produce and returns will be insured ; but from the very low prices of goods in Europe, he may be a considerable gainer. It is certainly the only method by which trade can be regulated ; as it informs the Planter of the value of his produce at foreign markets, makes him acquainted with the prices of goods, it puts him on a footing with the merchant, and by comparing his foreign accounts with prices here, can judge, whether it is his interell to Ihip or fell in the country. This mode was adopted by the Northern Planters, and was the firlt means of bringing the Merchants to their senses ; they found the Planters getting out of their power, and as well acquainted with the prices of goods as themselves, and of course were obliged to fell at a moderate advance, or keep their goods on hand.
