The solloiviug versisication os the beau
tisul Asrican song in Mr* Park's narrative
os his travels, rut believe is not generally
known. Lady’s Miscellany,
Bi.r, ak blew the wind in ceaseless roar,
In whelming torrents sell the rain ;
The white man trembling, cold, & poor,
Exhausted sank upon the plain.
Beneath the tree he weary lies,
Nor heedsthc stormhisplaintive sighs;
He li es a stranger to repose,
Without a sriend to calm his woes.
No mother’s smile his bosom cheers,
No sister cohit a to give rebel;
No *«nder wise to dry his tears.
To sosten or partake his gries.
I.et us the white man’s wants supply,
Ah ! sure we hear a brother cry ;
It pitv touch the heart within,
It makes both black and white a-kin.

The other day, said Ned to Joe,
Near Bedlam’s consines groping,
<l W hene’er I hear the cries os woe,
My hand is always open.'*
11 I own,” said Joe, “ that to the poor
(You prove it every minute)
Your hand is open to be sure,
But then there’s nothing in it.”
Says (dies, “ My wile and I are two,
Yet saith! I know not why, sir!”
Quoth Jack, you’re ten, is I speak true ;
She’s one, and you’re a cypher!”
I do not rec- licet any where in print,
to have «een the sollowing lines to the
memory os the gal! int sounder os the
Society os United Irishmen. To snatch
them srom oblivion, we publish them.

For now that nerve has lost its Tone.
“ WE ARE HAPPYA
I know os no phrase which is so strange
ly lugg d in our newspapers upon all oc
casions, as this. IVe are happy to an
nounce this, says one printer; we are
happy to contradict that, says another ; but
ct all the curious instances in which this
pour phrase is introduced, the sollowing
srom the last Norsolk Herald is one os the
most curious.
1 hro’ mistake, in a part os our last
edition, we inserted the death os Mr.
~~JPaul IVashington. instead os that os hi*
nuije ; rue are happy to correct the error,
and in announcing that he is in a state os

It is to be hoped that is the mistake had
been the other way “ we” should have
been equally “ happy” to correct it.
