Unmov’d, he bears the tempests roar, >
That.on the tufted groves expire;
Alas! on us they doubly fall,
Oar feeble bark; must bear them all,.
Now to their haunts the birds retreat,
, .The squirrel fceks his hollow tree;
Wolves in their (haded caverns meet,
AH, all are bled but wretched we-**
for, doom’d a stranger to repose,
No red the 1 unsettled ocean knows.
While o’er the dark abyss we roam,
Perhaps what e’er the pilots fay,
We saw the fun’s defeeuding gloom,
No more td fee his riftng ray,
Put bury’d low; by far too deep*
On coral beds unpitied sleep !
2fat whit a drange uhcoaded' drand
Is that where Death permits no day,*
No, .charts we have to mark that land,
No compass to dirett that way.
What pilot ihall explore that real m,
. What new Columbus take the helin !'
While death and dsdknefs both fur round,*
And tempests rage with lawless pow’r,
Os .Frieudthip’s voice I heir no found,
No comfort ih this dreadful hour—
What friendlhip can in tempests be ?
Wfiif comforts on this angry sea *

BEING disappointed in a fuppty °1
large paper, I am under the ueceffi-1
ty of thus abridging the Gazette until fuckl
supply arrives; It is an iticonvience wbickl
the publication will always be fubjeae
to, while there is so little punctuality oc
ferved in the payments by the greater part
of my fubferibers ;• 1 hope that iu m*
they will put it out of my power to have
reason for making this an excuse. I w ,
